Both tumblr user @/coolertheworm and I have funny little clown Neopets who live in the Haunted Woods, so I thought it would be fun to draw them together! My guy Fuzebox is tragically unenthusiastic about the noble art of clownery compared to Cooler's Schneedles, lol

#MyArt #Neopets #OCs
a digital illustration of two cartoon clown neopets- Schneedles, a Varwolf with a rainbow polka dot mane and striped tusks, smiles and hooks one arm around Fuzebox, a black and white Acara in a skeleton onesie and oversized white ruffled collar. Fuzebox grimaces as they're lifted off the ground, while Schneedles flings multicolored confetti into the air with his unoccupied hand.

aardvark-type beast. some pig!

#MyArt
A digital illustration of a cartoon aardvark-like creature, hunched over on all fours as if preparing to fight. it has three jutting teeth, long black ears that perk up and forwards, and a wicked grin on its face.

I got to make a Varwolf recently- here's MeteoraBlues! She's a gallery owner and art collector in Maraqua with a slightly tarnished legacy. Dreamboat the Orp is her little purse dog who inhales the hors d'oeuvres while Meteora's attention is elsewhere.

#MyArt #Neopets #OCs
An illustration of an anthropomorphic Maraquan Varwolf from Neopets. She's a fat older woman in her 50s, wearing an elegant blue dress, starfish and shell earrings and bracelets, and an Orp petpet in her purse like a small chihuahua. Her expression is stately and unamused.

I finished the Centibyte's classic poses!

It feels great to finally have these figured out; they didn't really feel 'complete' to me without them.

The rest of their pre and post-conversion style colors can be viewed here! [https://synthaphone.neocities.org/centibytes]

#MyArt #Neopets #Centibytes
Nine drawings of a cartoon centipede-esque creature drawn in the Neopets art style. Each one is a different basic Neopets paint brush color, and they depict a number of emotions and battle poses. Same as the first image, except all of these ones are blue, and they're scaled so that each individual image is 150x150 pixels, the size of classic Neopets pet art.

did a design trade with @/Vantaxol (toyhou.se/Vantaxol) a few years ago and finally got around to drawing the adorable snail character they made for me!

#MyArt
a reference sheet featuring an anthropomorphic snail character named Patch. it has a blue tentacles, a fat cream colored body with green, yellow, and blue flecks, a purple and blue mantle, and a large spiral shell that combines all of the colors from the rest of the design plus a couple browns.

Here's more of Trix. The "finger" inconsistency here is canon and fine, they're just like that, I swear
A full-color drawing and various doodles of a bird-like character named Trix. They have a black body, a white face, and are wearing what appears to be white stirrup pants. They also have a large ring around their neck. Various doodles of a bird-like character named Trix. They have a black body, a white face, and are wearing what appears to be white stirrup pants.

did you know that Formless Star is the "Game of the Year"*? and it's free? why, you'll look like a fool if you don't play it!

pike! one of my very old ocs

this was another drawing to play with CSP- I did move to Photoshop for the final shading pass though.

#MyArt #OCs
A digital illustration of Pike, an orange cartoon creature with a cube shaped head, the front face of the cube serving as the end of his snout. He is balancing on one leg with his arms out to his sides, a slightly apprehensive grimace on his face.

@paulandstorm.bsky.social Hello! Is there any chance either of you remember who the artist was for the Gumbo Pants album art? The style reminds me of both Gary Baseman and J. Otto Seibold's work, but I haven't been able to find any answers googling. Thanks!

i had to use up a FFQ in order to complete another, so i ended up using both to make this crosspaint- her name is Spamrisk :)

#Neopets #MyArt #Sketchbook
a marker and pen drawing of a Wraith Techo with Candy Techo candies as decorations on her limbs, face, and tail. She floats in the air with a malevolent open mouthed smile and one clenched fist a customization screencap of a Wraith/Candy Techo crosspaint from Neopets.com

my favorite gen 2 normal types

#Sketchbook #MyArt #Pokemon
marker and pen drawings of Miltank, Furret, and Smeargle. The Miltank is lying on its stomach, holding its head and grinding its teeth angrily like it has a headache, the Furret is twisting around to look behind itself, and the Smeargle is walking while twirling its tail in one hand.

added some color to some sketchbook doodles from January

#Sketchbook #MyArt
A sketchbook page dated 1/9/2025, filled with various doodles of strange creatures. Among them are a few rabbits, some catlike beasts, a frog, a snake, a bird, and various other animals of undefinable species. They're lined in ink pen and colored with orange and light green, with the negative space in the background filled with light blue circular patterns.

wanted to try my hand at drawing spamtoing

#Spamton #Deltarune #MyArt
Five drawings of Spamton in various poses, against a backdrop of the sky painting on the wall of his shop. There's a bust of Spamton nervously putting his hands together and sweating as he looks to the side and grins, a bust of him leaning back against an invisible counter with one arm outstretched and his mouth open wide, and three full bodies- two with his arms outstretched and mouth open happily, as if selling to somebody, and one with his head down, teeth closed, arms at his sides, and glasses staticky.

little squirrel drawing, for fun and for practice

#Sketchbook #MyArt
A small traditional drawing of a squirrel, drawn in a realistic style. an underlying rough yellow sketch is just barely visible under the scratchy teal and black ink of the finished drawing.

The @upperdeckent.bsky.social Neopets War for the Obelisk TCG expansion is out, and I'm excited to share the full art for the rest of the illustrations I did! It was a ton of fun to get to draw so many cool spellcasters.
