My only complaint with the name changes is simply the missed opporotunity to call the construct workshop Stormlight Workshop in reference to the team.

Like absolute W otherwise but man you had a chance and you didn't take it

The idea of listening to no black music is bizarre to me. Even if it's not rap like no earth wind and fire? No reggae? No moonstomp? No ska? No classic jazz? No R and B? No disco??? No skindred? No jungle? No even like metal bands with a few black members? No gospel? Not even stuff like alors en dance? No blues music? No mo town? No jazz of any kind? No big band? No soul music? Not even a little James Brown?

Decided to draw another full body commission example, to see if I could draw it a little faster (spoiler: it took even longer) and also cause I’ve been wanting to draw my tundra bard Gawain for years.

I found out that apparently my solution to doing Coli is actually just to get REALLY high and i'll sit there for hours and farm. Last session I got 3 chests and that is the most i've EVER gotten off of Coli

have you reviewed the pirate paint brush? 🏴‍☠️

(Last Neopets review request in the inbox right now. Send 'em if you have 'em.)

Pirate is a perfectly good colour. Not only does it tie into Krawk Island, but it's also unique, with each pet commonly having red, yellow, or gray clothing with spots and stripes, plus the usual pirate accessories like bandanas and gold jewelry.

You would think customization would make it irrelevant, but it's saved by having a specific base color (usually a slate or dull grayish-blue) that's unique to pirate pets. On top of this, many pirate pets also have skull-and-crossbone markings or scars, which further makes the bases different enough even without clothing.

Really, the biggest problem with pirate is just that a lot of pirate pets were released early on. Not only did they not get unique poses like some later pets, but the designs just tended to be very simple. This isn't inherently bad—many colours nowadays feel too busy and complex for their own good—but some pets feel pretty underbaked in hindsight.

While there are exceptions (see the pirate Xweetok below), pirate pets usually went through customization alright, seeing as most of the colour is clothing. The biggest problems tended to be either loss of important elements that didn't work with custimzation, such as peg legs, or just plain inaccuracy when converting. For example, the pirate Zafara above lost its darker accents on its front fur, spines, and tail tip. There are also pet styles (both nostalgic and dynamic) for many pets.

Favorite Species:

Xweetok: The pirate Xweetok blows most other pets out of the water. Instead of being stuck with the standard pose pre-customization like most other pets, it got completely new art and really took advantage of it, not only giving it a unique pose but also making tweaks like making the tail fur more angled, giving it extra fluff and a bear, etc., along with an amazing expression.

The converted version is fine, but it's a bit more standard for the color, and it completely lost its pet leg. The far eye is also missing an eyebrow for some reason. Thankfully, the old art is now available as a pet style.

Lutari: The pirate Lutari was released after customization so no cool poses, but it does have a great design regardless. The clothing looks appropriately pirate-y and it makes good use of what's mostly a three-color palette (red, grayish blue, and slightly off-white). However, what really makes the design is the integration of a skull into the tail markings, which is incredibly clever. It also has a great base as well. My only nitpick is that the eyes probably should've been yellow to match its yellow earring.

Krawk: The pirate Krawk is incredibly simple and honestly there's nothing that unique about it, but it just works well. The gray-and-black shirt and bandana add some nice patterning, the hook hand pops, and pirate just works well on the species native to pirate land. It also received a really good pet style that gives it a ton of personality (though it does retain the white shirt it had pre-customization; personally, I would've preferred it to keep the gray for coherency's sake).

Least Favorite Species:

Techo: There really aren't any horrible pirate pets, as the worst ones tend to just be mid, but the pirate Techo is definitely mid. All it had originally was a hat, bandana, and peg leg—and it lost the peg leg in customization. Even ignoring how few elements there are to the design, none of them are particularly coherent, and the red-on-slate effect the head spots have is downright eye-searing.

I'm very high and i just got sad because we have no goat dragons. You know these goats with long ears? I want that, but dragon. Maybe their ears are their wings. Just a guy flying around with his ears

Chryseis⚠️💙🐸?

⚠️ - If this oc came with a warning sign, what would it be?

WARNING! DOES NOT UNDERSTAND PERSONAL SPACE

💙 - Describe their bedroom! Is it personalized, unchanged? Messy, neat?

Her living accommodations in the gloaming grove are completely underwater! it was formed with earth and water magic rather than the nature and shadow spells that created the above water boardwalks and homes. her bedroom specifically is very maximalist! she's got trinkets and oddities galore along with many many many MANY work in progress driftwood carvings. Its actually shocking that she keeps it as organized as she does.

🐸 - What’s this oc’s sense of humor like?

Her sense of humour is very punny actually! she's a big fan of puns and worldplay. she likes silly jokebooks that are just like.... 1001 best jokes that are really the worst jokes you can think of that are so bad that they wrap around to being funny. its hard to read them when they get ruined by the water though :c
