god i wish i wouldn't have to explain the intricacies of the neopets economy to you guys to give the full context for this but. the new neopets team that took over from jumpstart pledged that they were going to curb the inflation of rare items, which is great because a lot of rare items are worth literally hundreds of millions of neopoints, they are unbuyable unless you've been playing actively for 20 years. they did this earlier with a site festival that included random loot boxes, some of which had Unbelievably Fucking Rare And Precious items worth 200 million neopoints apiece.

well.

today they have gone a step further. by releasing this year's trick-or-treat bags. and having the trick-or-treat bags be stuffed to the brim with unbelievably fucking rare stamps, weapons, paint brushes, defense magic, and other unbuyables. (all prohibitively expensive and in-high-demand types of items.)

jellyneo, the premier neopets website, has recorded prices of some items plummeting from 2,000,000 neopoints to 4,000 neopoints IN THE LAST THREE HOURS. this is when most people haven't even heard about the event or OPENED THEIR BAGS YET.

and of course. cherry on top. 20-year-old account holders are crytyping on the site events neoboard about how mean and cruel it is to make rare stamps part of the prize pool, because their entire identity hinges on being part of the neopian bourgeoisie, and they are having MELTDOWNS over their assets being devalued until they're part of the lowly proletariat.

this is a children's game for children btw.

none of the money is real.

i'm having such a good time.

Quartervirus' UC Neopets: 🦇 DARIGAN Edition 🦇

It's long overdue, ugly as hell, and the code so basic even Web 1.0 is shaking its head, but after sitting on them for months I have FINALLY uploaded my Darigan Neopet Redesigns to

Dregnost the Krawk's PetPage!

The restoration of old, unconverted art via NCUCs has made all my 12-year-old Dreamies come true and I will be singing TNT's praises forever for that. However, there are still so many Paint Brushes out there and many more designs that feel uninspired to me.

I have been playing Neopets virtually nonstop since 2003 and credit the site for turning me onto art and the games industry as a career. It has been instrumental in my development as an artist and whetted my appetite for creativity and storytelling, and it has been an honour to work with them in an official capacity this year, and so much fun trying my hand at adapting the art I thought could use improving with these redraws.

If you like these designs, please feel free to share them (with proper links and credit) on the Neoboards or appropriate, official channels! Who knows, maybe if we get enough eyes on them TNT might make one or two of these official!

Or better yet, hire me for the job!

I'll draw your Neopets for you!!

If there are any fellow Neopians out there, feel free to drop me a Neomail or send a Neofriend request! But please do tell me who you are so I know who I'm adding.

I think we all need to step back and acknowledge how funny the Wheel of Monotony is

porcelain paint brush

so I maybe have gone ahead & made my own fan paint brush. I know the concept of porcelain isn't a unique one, nor is kintsugi, but I've had this idea for about five years now, and I figured it was about time I drew it~ it's a fun mix of marble statues, porcelain & fine china, and kintsugi.

We really need to take a moment to give Neopets' petpages a shout-out

Hundreds of pages full of oftentimes niche useful information or helpful resources

Oftentimes fun layouts and designs with personality, harkening back to the pre-mobile internet days

Unironically taught an entire generation of kids HTML and CSS

Hosted right on the site so it's extremely easy to get started

Other users are nice enough to make layouts and graphics for everyone to use

Last bastion of the internet pre-enshittification (along with Neocities)

While we're at it, here's a few of my fav pages:

Quality Petpages, Kalux Directory: Petpage directories!

Dream Colors Directory: Fake pet designs and edits!

Silent Serenity, That Kills Me, Sygyzy, Alula, Hime's CSS, Jinx: Pre-made templates for userlookups and petpages!

Filter Solutions, Trudial's Coding Help: Coding help and troubleshooting!

Neopian Times Community Feedback, Neopian Times FAQ: Neopian Times and writing resources!

Owls, Valisar: NC trading values!
