A lot of nice choices, but there's one standout for me. Maraquan Lutari. Because it was based on a user's design, with credit.

For Day One, I went with what probably most others have with the Maraquan Lutari . For Day Two, I had to do a little thinking since I don't pay much attention or care to the customization scene. In the end, I went with Kung Fu Vandagyre, in part due to it appealing to my own martial arts background, and also I'm just always here for more Vandagyre love .

Day 3- Best Standalone Advent Animation Day 18, Day 25, Day 26, Day 29 Hmm, the descriptions for the various days are off as they don't match the picture The pictures are what's off, actually. The descriptions match the date. The picture doesn't match the date. I went with date, but I liked all of them, so whatever.

Decided to wait for the announcement of the winner before posting. Don't really know why, guess just curious to see if my thoughts matched everyone else's so I don't come off like I have no idea what I'm talking about (not that I still might): DAY 1: Best Neopet Colour WINNER: Maraquan Lutari THOUGHTS: Thought as much, not that the others are bad, but the Maraquan Lutari not only does the thing with Maraquan Neopets that I like (changing the Neopet into an actual aquatic animal species, this time the axolotl), but there's some interesting trivia behind this one. This is actually based on fanart a user made, their concept of a Maraquan Lutari, who posted it on twitter and someone on TNT I guess liked it so much they contacted them to get permission to redraw it into the official Maraquan Lutari! So in a way I'm also kind of hoping that voting for this not only awards for a greatly drawn Coloured Neopet but also maybe encourages TNT to allow for more fan submissions and make them into real stuff (upon them requesting of course, thinking like Random Contest though their Drawtober submissions all sounded like a good opportunity to do this). Though there is a part of me that wonders if maybe TNT themselves were thinking of doing this, an axolotl Maraquan Lutari, but when their media watcher saw this they decided both to save themselves some time by just recreating the concept but also skirt around any accusations of plagiarism. And if that's the case, unless someone else blindly hits the nail on the head, this likely won't be happening again anytime soon out-of-the-blue (but if they just would hold competition for user created content they wouldn't need to *coughcough*). OTHER NOMINESS:
Second pick would have been Burlap Meerca, probably one of the more creative PBs that JS have made since taking over; feels like maybe an idea old TNT would have done. The Burlap Meerca itself has some neat features to it, I like the button eyes on it and the straw bursting from the seams of its tail and legs makes it look distinct from other Burlap Neopets. Third would be Marble Draik, by going with "marble as in the stone" appearance it makes itself look unique from other Marble Neopets (who resemble the toys); on top of that it's a very nice and eye-catching pattern. Finally Zombie Bruce I give points for including the rather gruesome of missing chunks in its cheek... though I kind of feel that detail would feel more visceral if it was a Neopet with a mouth instead of a beak; but the bow would be neat to have for any customizing Bruce owners. Survey says I'm right with the Zombie Bruce being last though Marble Draik is second place, I guess I can understand as customizers prefer interesting base colors rather then a Colour that radically changes the Neopets appearance.

Shoot, I somehow missed the Best Advent Series category in time to get the gold check. Ah well, I'm not a huge stickler for getting gold everything, so I shall take my green instead. Either way, the choice for that and the newest category were pretty easy for me. Best Advent Series: Tis the Off Season. Because I love me some Team Terror Mountain (especially Prytariel <3), and I thought that series was actually pretty well executed in terms of story and animation. Best Advent Prize: Wraith Encounters in the Haunted Woods. It's spooky. It's beautiful. It's a book. Everything about it I love.

I didn't really have strong feelings for any of the choices this time, so the one I went with I won't be sad if it loses lol (and I have a feeling it probably won't be top choice) Went with Sea Glass Foreground, mostly because I like shiny objects haha. Wash Up Sand Castle Foreground my brain almost immediately rejected, just since I've gotten so many from Trudy that I don't want anymore in my life. For some reason I feel like the jail cell foreground will be a top choice, just feels like it has the most variety of uses.

So far, only one of my votes actually turned out to be the winner, and it was the obvious choice from the first day xD Ah well, I'm not here to win, I'm only here to speak my truth.
For today, I went with the background, since I love the colors and theme of it and it's the one that I've actually used before.

But I also think part of it is that I voted "wrong" on the best advent animation. The dates and the pictures were mixed up. I went with the actual date, not the picture, and I think most went with the picture.
