Hello hello hellooooo. I'm an illustrator and Neopets has been one of my main influences art-wise since I was a kid, I always loved its artwork with bold, expressive lines, and saturated colors, and it also influenced my interest for character design. So, I have a fair amount of pointless sketches and fully realized illustrations, so in this post I'll put canon character drawings first, and then I'll post my own pets' artwork later. Several traditional sketches, in order: Zafara Double Agent, Lisha, Jeran, Kanrik, Lisha and Jeran again (they're my fav characters in the whole site so yeah I had to draw them again lmao), Armin, Sophie, Amira, Hanso, Xandra. A quick attempt at human!Jeran and human!Lisha More Jeran and Lisha sketches feat. some RWBY crossover crack thing TETSUOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! LISHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Biggest Neopets fanart I've made so far, this was for the "Neopia" zine. I OBVIOUSLY had to draw Meridell. Borrowed inspiration from art deco illustrations composition-wise for a fantasy mood and used a limited color palette just like in the old times. (Also, the plushie Gelert painter there is actually one of my pets). Got this one into the Art Gallery for Lupe Day IIRC. Painted with watercolors and a bit of color pencil. I remember reading this headcanon in Tumblr about Jeran actually being a starry Lupe and "not having his yellow stars visible because he wears armor most of time". So yeah, he's chilling at a beach worried about rabid fangirls popping out of nowhere lmao also clock that mr. coconut tshirtAnd since I'm also a filthy sinner shipper here's a Jeran/Zafara Double Agent sketch. I ship these two with my life since I was like 12 ngl 😂👌 |

Oh man, you drew so many of my favorite characters! I've always had a soft spot for Meridell (many of my stories take place there, I've written about characters from or with some link to Meridell including a 9-part series collab about the Zafara Double Agent), and I remember also loving Kanrik, Armin and Amira as a wee teen.
I love your style, I ABSOLUTELY LOST IT AT JERAN WEARING YANG'S OUTFIT AND LISHA ROCKING RUBY'S LOOK, IT'S AMAZING
Your Meridell piece is great I LOVE THE BACKGROUND AND EVERYONE POSING AND LSAJDFLASJF MORRIS PLS (protip: if you want to write, your plushie Gelert painter is a great character to start with)
LOOK AT ALL THIS JERAN IN ONE PLACE I LOVE IT also I remember reading that on tumblr and cracking up like "lol he's really a starry Lupe THEY'RE ALL UNDER HIS ARMOR"
I dig this ship, I never thought of it but I like it now.

Perhaps I should draw more Neopets characters in RWBY outfits when I have more free time hahahah Yeah that's my plushie Gelert Oreloj, I picture him being the most stylish/art-inclined of my pets so it felt natural to give him a cameo in that illustration as a painter  that's a good idea you mention, I'll consider writting something about him! And U G H yesss I know it isn't a common ship but I love both characters and I feel they have a lot of potential for character development as a ship, not to mention I love the good boy+serious shady girl combo SO much ksjfsjkdjkfdsf it's my top fav Neopets ship for sure 😳😳😳 Glad you like my doodles! |

I am so down for more Neopets/RWBY crossovers. Just saying, the possibilities are endless. Also that is a VERY GOOD DYNAMIC. |

Wow! You have an amazing assortment of art and sketches! I love the color palette in your zine piece. Also, I feel like the palette and composition of your watercolor piece of Jeran gives off some High Renaissance vibes. I'm not sure if that was intended or not, but it suits him really well.  |

Oh yeah I forgot to mention, I used t his Renaissance portrait as a reference for that Jeran watercolor fanart :^) although I made a more simplified version since I made it in a rather small piece of paper haha. I also used actual golden watercolor for his armor and it shines so much IRL it made me kinda dizzy 😂 but it looks a lot less shiny in this scanned version. Glad you liked the zine artwork, too! |

As a Jeran and RWBY fan, I second the comments from Kat!
I totally remember seeing that Jeran pic in the Art Gallery! Cool that you're part of the forum now (and this is where I place my remarkably belated welcome, whoops!) I don't really have much to say that hasn't already been said, except that your zine piece kind of reminds me of those late medieval drawings in terms of its composition (with everyone more or less being kind of being flat on one plane--not to say that there is no depth, only that it feels like it's meant to evoke that feeling) and I think that this confluence of medievalish aesthetic about Meridellian characters is just kinda cool when combined with a more modern style of actually drawing these characters!

Yes, that was pretty much what I intended to do with that artwork! Glad you like it 🙆✨✨ |

Jeran's human look must've been quite a looker.
