the petpet opinions....

overall, too much detail is bad. if it looks more like a Flight Rising familiar or a subetapet than a funny neopets thing, unpleasant... incongruous... many petpets I simply Do Not See It. not on my neopet. scale very unpleasant

an ideal petpet is typically even simpler looking than most neopets... iconic. very few colors. little extraneous detail. cute proportions. silly concept is good!

not rly a fan of, 'its just an IRL animal but a petpet', sort of weird. not a lot even in this category but like. I feel it when I feel it. wish you tried harder kind of feeling. make it a little sillier please. it could be polka dot or have 1 big eye or silly antenna or be porple and orange. something. just change a tiny tiny bit more ok . too normal looking.

I do not like to pair a species + petpet that look too similar. i.e. a kadoatie and an aisha, unless that resemblance is lore related (like an aisha raised by kads or a pet who turned self into an aisha to resemble a kad, or something. a maraquan blumaroo who is surrounded by dozens of baby bloos)... they become fine when paired with a contrasting neopet!!

very strange to look at ......... for me. I don't like it. some people this is the entire philosophy behind every pet+petpet pair. its not for me .

there are exceptions to everything. I think sometimes I have a vision or a cute item comes out and it elevates a petpet I no care about before.

lets see. a great example of what I accept:

VS what I do not accept

No April Fools joke has yet to displace the absolute earth-shattering high I felt in elementary school when I logged into Neopets to see that they’d added 50 new Neopets breeds to the website, each obviously designed at the last second and with increasingly fantastically terrible names

And then scrolling down the list, nothing in the world could’ve prepared me for the punchline of

hmm you know when making new pets in the modern era like the vandagyre i wish they’d just like, raise some established petpet to the ranks of neopet…. like you know how there’s the babyca or lutra petpets, which look like simpler/baby versions of existing neopets? that but in reverse… like I think starting at the place of a Feepit and building it up into a fully-fledged pet would be really smart!

if you could raise one petpet to the ranks of a fullblown neopet, what would it be?

[gilly-theusul]

im answering my own Q with: tanizard! simple, cute, easy to imagine a tiny bit of embellishment but few changes necessary!

some other friend said Drugal would make a good candidate and that is a novel thought… very unique, non-repetitive, not too clunky or busy, simple, personable….

while much less my thing i think the Pyon makes a good candidate too, since we could use more buggish pets and i like the mammal/bug crossover niche. I likely wouldn’t own one but it’d feel natural in the roster!

A couple of my friends have been playing Neopets lately, which inspired me to redraw two of my old Neopet characters from 2005. The Ixi was a good-natured hermit survivalist type who tried to comfort her girlfriend*, a fallen paladin Lupe who was angsty because she got cursed and turned into a big hulking monster. They lived in a spooky swamp together and guided lost travelers to safety.

~*For some mysterious reason*~ I was just really enamored by the idea of this huge buff super masc wolfmonster and hairy eyebrow goat being female… can’t imagine why!

*except not really because Neopets was “child friendly” and would ban you for even hinting at gayness so they were just really close friends instead

Hi there! I saw your comment on deviantArt about your Neopets adoptable being used on an item. Which adoptable is on which item? It's a little shocking hearing that the whole Korbat situation isn't the first time they've stolen art...

@turnipchan

Hiya! Wow this is a trip down memory lane… The item is called “Fire Pet Guide”. Here it is:

I can’t find my original fire adoptable, alas it is lost to time. Or possibly on an old hard drive somewhere. But through the magic of google I have found the faerie version! (I’ve removed my username, even though I don’t play any more.)

Someone told me about this a few years ago when the item was first released. I didn’t contact Neopets about it.

At Long Last

10 years later and I finally have a krawk.

Pets for Adoption:

I have two pets that I want to adopt out!

Hehkua, the glowing gelert. (I made him years ago, and iirc, hehkua means “glowing” in Finnish). He has a PPL award and a blugar.

and Clippies, the Werelupe. I’d prefer it if Clippies was kept as a werelupe because he’s an avatar pet, but I can’t stop anyone from doing whatever they want with him!

Let me know if you’re interested! I am very fond of Hehkua especially, but I don’t know what to do with him and I need to consolidate my accounts… ;~;

[doglefoxcookies]

I’ve gotten a handful of responses for clippies, so I’m gonna treat it as first-come-first-serve! If the first person ends up not wanting him, I’ll be in contact with the next, and so on! c:

fun question time

of any or all of your pets, if given the personal choice, would they change species/color? would they want to stand out more, less, be bigger, smaller, look friendlier, look scarier?

[doglefoxcookies]

I dunno if this counts because it’s less of a species/color change and more of a form change, but one pet idea I had but never fully got around to was a villain-type who could become different levels of massive and feral. He was going to be a faerie bori and I liked the idea of the shell cracking as he grew, revealing like... big bug wings and growing more chitin on his body, since faerie boris seem to be modeled after beetles. Idk it was years ago but I liked the idea a lot. ;~;

I have an ixi that would love to have “Sword In the Stone”-esque adventures where she turned into other species to go underwater or fly around and stuff.... She wouldn’t be picky about what she looked like, because it would be more about the novel experience!

[sunshinemonk]

What?! No Mutant pets at all on MUTANT DAY?! 

That’s okay, I sketched some of my own! 

Mutant Wocky: Based off the Displacer Beast. The tentacle that is slightly curled is meant to be the ‘fist of the doom’

Mutant Vandagyre: More bear-like than owl. The Neopets reddit said I should base it off a Moonkin..so I will when I do the final version.

Mutant Nimmo: Based off of the pictured Poison Dart Frog, as well as ‘mutated’ frogs.

Just in case no one has noticed yet, Jumpstart redrew the Transparent Peophin design and I must say, Bravo, Jumpstart!

[gracklebug]

dang, it looks so nice!!

[doglefoxcookies]

OH THANK GOD it looks great! I’m glad they listened to their userbase on this one!

[snarkie]

THIS SIGN WAS TAKEN OFF THE WALL FOR AN OFFICE MOVE. YOU’LL NEVER GUESS WHAT HAPPENED NEXT.

I found these while continuing the long, tedious process of cleaning out my hard drives. This was when Neopets was moving out of the Viacom offices after the company was purchased.

I want to make it clear that I had no involvement in this tomfoolery. I just stood by to document the scene… and laugh hysterically… and cheer them on… and possibly yell out word suggestions… but no direct involvement whatsoever.

[scrumpygoat]

I can’t draw horse skeletons either to be fair but come on buddy that’s what google is for 

[gracklebug]

this is pretty dang excellent

[doglefoxcookies]

You are a treasure! This is beautiful. The official art is appalling.

[buttella]

Would anyone be interested in buying some (very loved) neopets merch? I have a lot of those Limited Too plushes, mcdonalds toys, and the big talking plushes plus tons of other things. I’ll make a picture/sales post soon, I’m just seeing if there’s any initial interest!
