Following up my previous post, I think I’m going to try changing up my pets’ looks at least monthly, because I’m somehow way more into dress-up games than I used to be. So I came up with winter looks for my pets.

This is part three of a story I'm generating randomly! Read from the beginning here!

For those that missed the context, I'm telling a 50k word story, 1000 word pictures at a time! The starting prompt from the Story Generator is:

"The story is about a courageous barbarian and a healthy cab driver. It takes place in a condominium in an outpost. The story begins with an eavesdropping and ends with someone going to sleep."

So I figured out what my next theme is. This month is NaNoWriMo, in which writers have to write a 50,000 word novel. Well, if a picture is worth 1000 words, that means I only need to tell a story in 50 pictures, right?

Throughout this month, I'm going to be telling a story solely through customization images, and short prompts generated by Seventh Sanctum. My starting prompt is from the Story Generator, and is:

"The story is about a courageous barbarian and a healthy cab driver. It takes place in a condominium in an outpost. The story begins with an eavesdropping and ends with someone going to sleep."

Every second post (posts will have 2-3 customization images per) will have a twist generated by the Plot Twist Generator, and I'm going to try and choose the first one that even slightly makes sense. Will this lead to a cohesive story? Probably not!

I've already generated my first few twists, so I can introduce my lead actors and their roles:

Marik118 is the Healthy Cab Driver

Captain Crumbeard is the Courageous Barbarian

Square Root is the Evil Wizard

Jinzo879 is the Wizard's Minion

So I’m getting back into Neopets, and these are what my pets looked like for. Years.

Jinzo, the buzz: Fashion mostly looks alright! The gear belt, not great! I think the only reason I gave him a belt was because artists can’t agree on where Neopets’ waists are and that was the only way to stop him from baring his midriff. (Honestly I should’ve just let him, that seems more fitting than some weird steampunk belt.) 

Hola, the kacheek: Mostly pretty okay! I think I did alright on color choices. The skirt looks a bit weird with the outfit on reflection, but I think I mostly did okay.

Marik, the chia: Here’s where things take a turn. The whole “weird nerd wizard” look definitely comes through, but the Shenkuu jersey and the 8-bit staff are very bad.

Viris, the grundo: This is just bad. I remember why he has a marshmallow hat, it’s because that was the closest thing I could get to a chef’s hat. The apron and shoes are disgusting, and I don’t know if the implication is he made all of those pies in that frying pan. 0/10.
