After years of using the same preset of Lord Suragaha I finally decided that today was the day to give Sura a bit of a makeover and so I recreated his entire preset from scratch. When Sura was originally brought to life through his first preset some years ago I was very frustrated that the texture darkened most of his colors. My friends often joked that it was due to his time in the war that he became so dirty looking and for a while it amused me and I decided to keep the look, however after many years of preset making I've learned some new things and decided to bring Sura's true colors out.

Sometimes a little change is refreshing. I had many wonderful fond times in the old presets but I figured it was time to try my hand at recreating Sura with a few of my new found skills. Though I kept most of his appearance the same I did change his markings slighty.
And so here is the final product. A clean non dusty Surabutt next to his old self:

After using Sura's old preset version for so long though it feels weird to see him so brightly colored and different looking now. I figured I'd ask you guys what you think of Sura's old/new presets.

ooooo I like the clean version, yet I feel like the 2nd one gives him that rustic, cool look :)

So ye' decided to finally use shampoo, eh Ms? I jest, I jest.
Personally, while this may be due to I'm so used to Lord Suragaha's old preset, his former preset (version 2) looks a bit more realistic to me. A bit more natural in color contrast since he is a former war dog now roamin' the wild wilderness of FeralHeart. But I do like his little makeover as well since unlike the former versions, with Suragaha all washed his mane no longer blatantly "glows" so to speak when compared to the rest of his body. I also like how ye' sharpened his markings on his new preset while on the 2nd version, they looked a bit blurred. Merely comparin'/contrastin' here. Regardless, the Lord's still handsome as ever.

I like the second and third, second looks alittle more realistic, but either way Lord Surabutt looks faboulous
-
OMG.....i thought i would never see the day when Lord actually takes a shower...
my GOSH-downloads quickly-

I like the second :3 It does make him have a move realistic 'tone' to him.

YAY
DADDY HAD A SHOWER

Sura made filth soup. D8
Don't eat it if it is handed to you!
Nevertheless. I adore Sura no matter what.
Though the dirty version is my personal preference.

Think it's because the colour is a tad dull.
Though, I do agree. A change can definitely be refreshing.
-Imagines Sura as a mint cake.-

WHOOOOH! SURA!
You gave him a doggeh bath!? How big of a tub did you need?! Like....like....A BIG ONE!?
Anywho, I like how he stands out much more in the third one...though now I feel as though I heave to redraw the few drawings I did of him lol But I think I like the third one the best, the first and second do look realistic but I think the third one evens itself out with colors
-
Thank goodness, you were starting to smell... just kidding. ;p
Haha, very nice presets Sura. Also I like the title. He stands out more, and it looks nice.

Thank you all for the feedback. It's made me consider how much I miss his old dirty look now. You guys have made the choice so much more difficult after I've read some of the points here lol. After a week of using his new variation I've gotten much more used to it though. I do plan on keeping his older dirty version for memory sake but I guess I've finally decided that the bright pelted Sura is here to stay. There's something very refreshing and neat about his look to me now. Perhaps in the near future I will make a newer version of the dirty pelt Sura though lol.

I miss the twig personally. otherwise, a fine update!
