a comic i made that got into the neopian times in 2005. i remember receiving all these messages from people telling me they loved it.. and having the trophy on my userlookup made me feel so cool.. it was probably one of my highest achievements on neopets amongst a few beauty contest wins
the funniest part to me is the paragraph at the bottom like putting my full name as if that gives me copyright protection AND as if anyone was gonna try n steal this. my mind at 11 yrs old
“could i request a neopets marble koi stimboard with marbles, blue fish, and slime or tangles in its colors? no water/super jiggly slime pls thank u!!! ”
Very quick doodle before bed, basically what if elderly Neopets actually looked like old animals, I made Aisha a Persian cuz they always look a bit old loll
Hey support me on gumroad by leaving a tip for my bases, or check out my Ko-Fi and maybe I’ll draw something for you if you donate?
Someone needs to make a masterpost of fucked up Neopets facts because literally every time I reminisce about that game I remember something ridiculous such as
• The prize wheel that would take literal hours to spin and would occassionaly reward you with a screamer
• Neopets having petpets and the petpets having petpetpets which were just parasites
• The laboratory ray that was extremely fucking expensive to use having a chance of turning petpets into piles of ash
• A random chance for the game to just steal neopoints from you every time you navigate pages and there being a leaderboard for the unluckiest people that month
there’s a game you can only play at 12:00 am to 1:00 am every day
players lined up en masse for waking up turmaculus and PRAYING that he would be nice enough to eat their goddamn petpet and give them a special site avatar for it
there was an item that you could buy for millions of neopoints in a “hidden” (used loosely) shop that you could use in the site’s battle feature to turn your opponent’s neopet into another color and species of neopet PERMANENTLY, undoing all their work on getting that rare paintbrush instantly
Let’s not forget the magna pool where you have a random 10 minutes time slot once a day to throw your pet into lava to have them get a fireball paint color. Did I mention a RANDOM 10 MINUTE SLOT in a 24/hr time frame??????
There’s a lever that you can pull that does nothing except for steal your money and have a very low chance of giving you an avatar
They had a halloween event featuring the characters from supernatural as neopets
The old event hidden somewhere on the site where the staff members had a murder mystery and you could watch the flash animations of all the staff members being killed until only one was left
Only one neopet in the Neopets universe owns a car (Nigel the Chia)
There was a battledome item that would let you turn your opponent’s expensive precious painted pet into a Chia
There was a also a battledome item that would let you just PERMANENTLY DELETE your opponent’s potentially very expensive weapon
There was once Neopets mobile…before the era of Smartphones. The only way to access one of the Neopets lands was through a T Mobile subscription service that ended in 2009 and there’s still no way to access it
I spent a really really lot of time playing neopets when I was a kid. I absolutely loved it. And with lockdowns and all, I’ve started playing again and it’s as fun as I remember.
A handful of original species concepts - “phonies”, or singular “phony” - for a hypothetical, intentionally-archaic virtual pet site a la Neopets which I toyed with a while back. Probably never going to actually make the site given I’ve all but lost interest in this specific idea, but I didn’t want the art to go to waste so here it is.
Made in November of 2019. Ignore all the stupid little notes I left for myself on the concept art!
