Oh right, I should post here!

I have OFFICIALLY switched to Linux Mint. It's nice! I like how customizable and fast it is.

[aurum-k-chatters]

ok neopets fans, I have a proposition.

... Thoughts?

Big agree. Both NC and NP items would do great with some location themed clothes. The freebies you get from the concert hall for instance would be SO FUN as wearables. Other than that, things like casual wear, armors, weapons, hats, ect. all inspired by the different locations would be really fun. I wanna see how Meridell, Brightvale, and Darigan armor their knights differently. I want to see what casual wear in terror mountain and haunted woods' fairgrounds would look like. What kind of hats do they wear in Tyrannia? In Faerie Land?

There is so much lore and fleshed out world ideas that feel really underused.

kinda wish we got more wearables based on lore/on site locations instead of references to irl movies/games

like I'd kill to have more Brightvale or Altador themed wearables and not.. stanley cup

Something a little different, because I was bored. I did this totally for fun, and ended up liking the result so I thought I'd share.

Ixis are one of my favorite neopets, but they had a pretty rough transition into customization, using a body drawn with the more solidified neopets art style of the time (2007), but a head based off the original pet art from 2002 when the art style wasn't quite what we think of as the "neopets style" today. That mixed with the thicker outlines of post-customization art, the Ixi ended up looking a bit.... squashed?

I've always loved the way Claire Hummel drew ixis, and that art is usually what I think of when I think of an ixi character, so I decided to reference that look and try my hand at an edit of the official base ixi.

Asides from redrawing the head, I also fixed some little details that were bothering me a bit. The big one being the tangent between the tail and the cheek. The rest was just refining some lines and shadows.

Anyway, I hope y'all think this is cool! <3

I will ask that you not be rude to the original art. Just doesn't feel right, especially as I don't know what the working conditions were like for the artists at the time the official one was made. Thanks!

Found this template by @lonelytuatara and thought I'd take a crack at it! Did it in the style of my own webcomic, Wayward!

In order from left to right:

-Boone, from Slumber Town by Macxi

-Rhea, from Slightly Damned by @hyenafu

-Lorelei, from Chimeran Legends by @ak-illustrate

-RGB, from The Property of Hate by @modmad

-Yue, from Laika's Comet by @catmask

So my bori character, Sen, is possessed by a useless ghost, and I decided it was time to design said useless ghost. This is the Prince of Want. Sen just calls him Pow.

Blender learning adventures still a go. This is where I imagine my Neopets characters to live. A mountain lodge type thing on the outskirts of Shenkuu. They have an airship dock but they do not have an airship. u_u (It's for supplies deliveries.)

An important blog update about my Chimeran Legends webcomic and how I've been doing working on it.

I've been having a lot of trouble working on it lately, and want to make sure people who have been following are not left in the dark about it.

Filled out this fun thing by @neo-kajatrash

Debated whether or not to put this on my art blog, and figured it's more of a fun thing for the chatter blog.

The rest of my updated neopets refs. <3

[aurum-k-chatters]

Updated Chai and Yume refs! Been thinking about my Neopets OCs a lot ahaha.

In my story, Chai is Yume's aunt! She took Yume in because they have strange powers, and their parents figured Aunty Chai, who is a mage, probably would know what to do. (She doesn't. Other than being a supportive aunt, of course!)
