i've become somewhat obsessed with the oldest versions of some neopets' designs. i really vastly prefer the old jetsam and flotsam, as well as the old design for lenny. the updated lenny stripped it of its jester-like design elements which, imo, muddled and confused the point of its design. i liked its old jester hat and slightly curly toes, as well as its large, floppy-looking, goofy face.

also, i thought the oldest version of kacheeks was really funny. the drawing was kind of meant to be a visual joke, like, an over-rendered and uncannily shiny, but super simplified character like in ancient 3D art. but i feel like it doesn't really come through. oh well lol.

to tell you the truth, i don't really like the official art of ogrins. but i do think their design has potential (despite being somewhat wasted, lol). after all, they are a very odd and unique take on chimeras, being a cross between a goat, a tiger, and with other elements that don't have anything to do with real animals (their ears and tail make me think of fraggles).

regardless, they're really fun to draw.

this was a test drawing i did with the purpose of using glitter nail polish to see how it would look applied to a piece of art. surprisingly, not bad in photos, but obviously much more appealing irl. this would make great decorations to put on stuff like con badges. if only i ever went to cons, lmao.

I think a lot of people forget why a character like Micah exists - aside from aiding the plot.

Micah is a guide (of sorts) for you to see what a "bad man" really is, to help you understand why Arthur does what he does and to show you that there's actual thought and morals behind his actions.

Micah, on the other hand, kills because he wants to and for stupid reasons. He is a malicious, mocking, hurtful, and sadistic man who cares very little for anybody but himself. He's a misogynist, racist, and frankly irredeemably evil.

As much as Micah was able to manipulate Dutch, Arthur could see right through him. Ultimately causing a rift between Dutch and Arthur, which is exactly what Micah wanted.

Micah was made for you to see the differences between "good" and "bad" people.

Characters like Sean, Lenny, Charles, all "good" people who have done "bad" just like the rest of the gang, including Arthur. I think the reason that people are quick to say that Arthur was "a bad person until he got tb" is because we see his experiences first hand (plus player choices) and not much of the other "good" gang members' "bad" actions. That and his motives and his background is sometimes misunderstood by players.

Arthur is a "good man", "a saint", "an angel", "a blessing" to some and a "bad", "evil", "cruel" man to others.

Playing as Arthur means getting to understand his internal conflicts and his desire to be a better person, something Micah had no intentions of being.

Okay, so I know we know, as a community, that Sneezy of Snow White fame is cursed. But, you cannot argue that his CONCEPT alone is absolutely golden. Allow me to elaborate:

Imagine a man that you DO find attractive*. Right now. Pause right now and imagine the man you most want to sneeze. Okay, back to the scenario---- This man is just CHRONICALLY sneezy. There is just no explanation for it. Everything tickles his nose, which is always irritated. Everything makes him want to sneeze. It's to the point where his roommates call him Sneezy to tease him. They even try to do the whole 'finger under the nose' thing. The first time, it was a joke, but damn! Sometimes it works and they happily welcome anything that has a chance of getting that nose under control! Not only does he sneeze all the time, his sneezes are...distinctly strong. And loud. And dramatic. It's kind of an event, actually. TVs are paused, conversations are put on hold, friends start passing over the box of tissues because they Know that look and That look means--ope, there he goes, okay.

Life is short. Do not deny yourself the joy of analyzing the cringiest of sneeze media to collect what you have the potential to enjoy about it, in another setting! (*unless you DO have Sneezy White as your ideal man. In which case, I envy you. How does it feel to have your every sexual desire satisfied with one film? Please let me know, genuinely )

unofficially, a follow up to this!

after all, what's the point of doing a story that's as much about the actors and the stage as the story that they're acting out if you can't draw up alternative castings and explore messier different dynamics!!!
