[babith]

Here’s the next batch of 10 :3

My fave out of these ones is a tough choice but I got to go with that ixi. The elephante is a close second. The Gnorbu I’m still not happy with and I might redraw the face later.

First batch here

thoughts on the skeith? or elephante? whichever isn't in your queue yet

(The Skeith review can be found here.)

Ironically, despite its incredibly original name, the Elephante is actually not just a regular elephant; it's bipedal, it has small semi-vestigal wings/a fluffy tail, and it has a fancy headpiece with a gemstone in it. I'm not always big on "default" clothing on Neopets, but the hats here actually look pretty nice and are passable as fancy jewelry that anthro characters could potentially wear.

Color-wise, the default Elephante colours are mostly solid, though the toenails, hats, and tail break things up a bit. I do wish the default colours had more cohesion—like the gemstones matching the base color instead of always being red—and the pink snout feels ever-so-slightly out of place, but otherwise they look fine.

Elephantes definitely benefited from customization. Their lineart was cleaned up considerably, which helped fix some of the jankier elements like the wings and legs. Another big benefit of customization is the ability to remove the default clothing, which is always appreciated.

I also like the change in expression—the old Elephantes always felt a bit weird, like they burned down the house while you were gone and now they're trying to act normal while they figure out how to break the news to you.

Favorite Colours:

Relic: The relic Elephante just released earlier this year, and I gotta say, I really like it. The base is nicely shaded and textured with plenty of cracks, and it's then complimented by beautiful bronze metal accents. The body is also covered in leaves, which match the green of the eyes and hat, which are slightly lighter to make sure they pop. Great stuff. The base also looks great with just the little bit of bronze around the iris.

My only minor issue is that the amount of plants feels just a smidge too much. They are removable, but it's an all-or-nothing situation. I wish the ones on the body were separate from the ones on the base—especially because that could open non-relic Elephantes to wearing them.

Candy: Peppermint swirls aren't technically anything too fancy, but the sutble texturing here is great and really makes it look like hard candy. I also love how the stripes properly fit with and conform to the body shape, which is something a lot of Neopet colours forget to do. Also, the extra little peppermint in the hat is absolutely perfect.

Royal: Neopets evidently decided to take the "Indian elephant" idea to its logical conclusion by giving the royal Elephants things like sari wraps. Granted, I'm not sure what region India would be considered in Neopia, but hey, it's a fun concept and it looks beautiful. Between the two I think I like the royal girl more just for the palette, but both are solid.

UC/styled versions also exist. These versions obviously have more personality, but thankfully the converted designs are pretty spot-on save for the strange lack of fingernail polish.

BONUS: The zombie Elephante is shockingly gory for Neopets all things considered, only rivaled by the zombie Jubjub. Exposed skull, giant gaping wounds, stitches, ripped ears and wings—you name it. It looks fantastic and properly undead, and the whole thing is nicely drawn and shaded. It comes with clothing but the base itself is also solid (it's a bit strange that the skull is considered a wearable, but it's a play on the normal hats so I suppose that's why).

My only issue with it, and the reason it's a bonus, is that the expression is WAY too cheerful. The irises needed to be way smaller, less focused, or just plain missing, and the mouth looks too smile-ly. If it had a slightly more haunted expression it would've been perfect, but as is, it's still pretty good.

neopet species in the colors that feel like the ‘default’ color to me, + the same image but emphasizing the ones that feel MOST like they are supposed to be a specific color

Elephante day has come and gone, and so is me trying to get a feel for how they look.

how ddo you feel about mutant elephante?

The mutant Elephante is pretty suitably messed-up looking, with the only real Elephante-like traits being the trunk (ironically, the added tusks make it more like a real elephant but less like an Elephante). I'll take super deformed over a bland, barely-noticable mutant anyday, but I do wish more of the design played around with the Elephante's default attributes—stuff like the wings and hats feel like they could've been fun features to put a grotesque twist on.

The design itself is pretty coherent, going for a vaguely dumbo-octopus-ish head with a slug-like tail to match the trunk. The body is kept to a simple purplish gray with some bright teal spots, and while there doesn't seem to be a lot of relational behind the three eyes, they at least accent the spots to a degree. I do wish it was a bit easier to break down exactly what the design is going for, but for the most part it's effective.

The customized version is a massive improvement over the original. It didn't lose any details, but it gained some massively improved artwork, both in terms of line stability and general anatomy and tusk perspective. The only thing I question is the arms; looking at the original, I kind of think the teal edges might have been intended to be feathers instead of spines, as a play on the Elephante's wings; if that was the intent, it was lost on the customized version. The head also got a little smaller and it gained little ear protrusions, but to be frank (Sloth) it looks better like that.

Overall: not the best mutant design out there, but not too shabby.

Do you think Pete pierced Stan's ear in the episode Raisins?

YES. YES. YESYESYES! Abso-fucking-lutely YES!! They probably did it in Henri's bathroom with a tapestry needle.

My personal hc is that Michael offered Stan the other cross earring from his pair since mans doesnt need 2. And also Stan was super nervous about the whole thing so he insisted on doing it in the bathroom with less eyes on him. Pete probs teases him about being so nervous despite it not being as bad as Stan thought it'd be.

Even after Stan leaves the goth kids, he still wears an earring, typically a smaller, less noticable one. Sometimes tho he'll wear the cross earring, just because.

Also wanted to briefly point out that Stan's piercing is on the gay ear (the right one)
