Hello everyone! I'm a new member, I knew about this forum's existence beforehand but I was hesitant to join because I haven't submitted stuff to the NT (I've just submitted stuff to the Art Gallery instead ;^^ ), but I enjoy lurking here so why not joining anyway hhhh. You can call me dC for short if you wish, I'm an illustrator and I play Neopets since 2005, and have been leaving and coming back from time to time. I draw Neopets fanart sometimes and currently I'm thinking about giving writting a shot (I haven't written fanfics since I was like, 12 or 13 years old and now I'm in my mid 20s 😂). Pleased to meet you all (:
(Also apologies beforehand if my english is kinda wonky, it isn't my first language).

Hi dC! Welcome to the forum, it's nice to meet you :3
It's no worry if you haven't submitted to the NT before! Despite the forum name, these days our group is composed of Neo players and non-Neo players, as well as all kinds of creatives, so I'm sure you'll fit right in! There's a number of places here to chat with other artists, share art, talk about the art gallery, etc. :3
Ooh, that's cool you're thinking about picking up writing! I wish you the best and hope it's fun, and I look forward to anything you may end up sharing :3
If you have any questions about the forum, feel free to ask! You can ask on this thread or message a mod (we have purple and pink names). I hope you enjoy your time here!~

Hola! Bienvenid@ al foro, dC! (Ví en tu perfil que eres de Latinoamérica, y yo también, jaja, así que quise darte la bienvenida en español) Anyway, welcome to the forum! Don't worry, there's plenty of us whose first language isn't English, and everyone here is very kind and friendly about it. Being a part of this community has definitely helped me improve mine a lot since I joined. I hope you have a great time here! See you around!  |

Welcome! And yes, there's a wide range of people here, including people like me who play NP, have only written for the NT or entered creative contests a few times, and who don't know NP cannon enough to write character stories. I don't even really play NP that much anymore, except for events, and I don't write or do creative stuff much. In other words, if they let me on here, pretty much anyone is welcome. |

It's lovely to meet you, dC. I'm June, I like to mostly make comics myself.
So you're an illustrator? That's a really cool career, congratulations!
If you're considering giving writing a shot, I might be biased, but if you're coming from an art direction, it may be easier to start with a comic. They don't have to be humorous, if that's not your thing. Or maybe you feel like diving right on into a story, that's good too.
Writing is hard, and this is coming from an English major. So I wish you the best of luck!

So I wish you the best of luck! I've already done comics before (just finished drawing a 3 episode webtoon like 2 or 3 weeks ago) but I didn't write its script; a friend of mine did, while I did the whole drawing/character design/editing thing myself. So this is why I want to try writing again by myself, because I know it isn't my forte so I want to get better at that area. Plus I REALLY need another (productive) hobby that isn't drawing 😂 and it'd also help me with keeping my English skills fresh, since it isn't my first language. I totally understand your concern as a professional though, I'm a visual arts graduate and I also think drawing is hard, just like writing is haha! Thanks for the good wishes |
