Oh well, I didn't expect you to succeed, anyway. Very few people ever bother to help a grey faerie, after all.

You are supposed to bring me:
Tenna

I had no idea, duh! But thank you!
 
That's why I was thinking about the Fire Poogle. My son loves old school games, which is why he wanted me to do the 8-bit
 
Thank you everyone who posted a comment on here. I've been slaving away doing chores all day, and decided I will make Bisbee a Shadow Poogle!
 
Here is Bisbee:

 
Hugs to everyone! :laughingsmiley: :thumbsup: <3 :D :dance:

I really like the Halloween or Shadow! The Shadow would be easy to customize whereas the Halloween just looks so awesome by itself!

Thank you so much for your help, Marae19!
 
I'm so excited about the Fountain Faerie, I have NO idea what to use on my Poogle!
 
:laughingsmiley:
 
This is exactly what I needed. Thanks for taking the time to help me.

You may come visit me at my Rainbow Fountain any time! I'll be happy to reward you with a brand new colour!

I would really be grateful if you spared a wocky vote for me. :) I am a TDN newbie also haha.

I made many customizations for the current contest... it was really tough to pick one so I'll post my alternates here just to share them ;)
 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's my alternative for the NP-only contest (link only because the static image looks a bit wonky):
http://impress.openneo.net/outfits/861240
 
I really like the combination of the Stealthy Ixi, pirate clothes, and Count von Roo Contacts -- enough that I may paint my pirate Ixi stealthy. This was my also-ran because I know a lot of people don't like the super-dark images.

This was my alternate for the Aisha Dyeworks contest:
 

 
For some reason I really like doing monochromatic looks

Does TDN have a donation account? or an item you guys are working towards getting? I have come into a ton of neopoints playing Ghoul Catchers every day and I would feel honored to donate to you guys.
 
I donate to charities in real life so this is just part of my personality, not being a brown-noser or suck-up I swear! LOL

got second all thanks to your help! You guys rock :wub_anim:

The Beach Picnic Background is so beautiful and realistic... I'd kill for one :woot:

Here you go! Fairly sure you'll get the cheapest one :)

I am a child of God also and I know as good as anyone that it is very difficult to keep going on when you have been hurt like this. I'm sorry that this person has chosen to walk out of your life when it seems like you need them a lot. Maybe they didn't realize how much they meant to you? which is sad, because it sounds like you let them know that all the time. I had a best friend in high school, we graduated together, went out together, talked every day.. and out of nowhere, she just disappeared on me. She started hanging with new friends, a party crowd not that I'm judging, and would answer my texts with very dismissal responses. I thought for so long that I had done something to defer her.. or that we had lost our common interests.. but I soon realized that it wasn't me who had changed, it was her. I wasn't ready to take that path with her and I was deeply upset by how "easy" it was for her to drop me. I think that is the betrayal that you are feeling also. Wondering if they miss you as much as you miss them?
 
I also honestly hold tight to the phrase "It is the dark times when God's light shines brightest". You see, the devil knows you are hurting. In fact, he is dancing around, enjoying it. But he can't win. He has already lost and when you deep down truly believe that God will make things better is when things will turn around. Trust me, I know. I was so ashamed with myself and how I doubted that God could make things better. But when you get so far down, you can only go up. And I truly believe that God has beautiful plans for you. He's just letting you get your mind right first.
 
You will be in my thoughts and prayers, even though I do not know you, you are a sister of mine in Christ. When you are doing your daily chores, lying in bed, brushing your teeth, just know that I have said a special prayer for you. You are on my mind and I will ask God to restore hope and peace and happiness in your life. And that He will provide a new joy for you, possibly a new friendship or a new hobby? Maybe he will restore this friendship that you think has been lost?
 
First things first, you need to forgive them for this hurt they have caused you. They may not know how they are affecting you, or they may know wholeheartedly, but for yourself, for your own sanity, you need to forgive them. That way, when you see of them or think of them, it won't be the resentment that I know is inside of you right now.
 
Again, I am so sorry for this hurt you are suffering through. Things have never been the same for my friend and I. I still see her smiling pictures on facebook and instagram having fun with her "new" friends while I am sitting at home alone.. I miss the laughs and the inside jokes and the way I could talk to her about anything. But I have learned to forgive her for hurting me, even though I know she has no clue how much more I cherished our friendship than she did. I still have my days where I get sad and depressed, wondering why me? what could I have done differently? But I also now have my coworkers, whom I met at my new job this year, and my boyfriend, whom God set in my path when she and I stopped being friends. I also reconnected with a very old friend from my childhood and things couldn't have went better. We hit it off like we we're still 5 year olds playing with our pokemon cards and miniature horses. None of these people did I see coming in my life when I was at my darkest. I thought I was going to be friendless and alone forever. But I never stopped praying, never cut that thread that God had holding me to him.
 
If you need a friend, message me. I will talk to you at all hours of the night (though we might be in different time zones LOL). I'll care about what's happening in your life, I'll offer you what awful advice I can muster, and I'll even fly to wherever you are and give your old friend a good swift kick in the booty. ;) But remember, I'm praying for you.. and there is power in prayer, just as there is in the almighty God who knows that you are suffering and while it is hard to believe that he has a better plan for you until it starts happening, don't give up hope. Let your faith be tested and smile when this passes and you know that you fought your way through it all!
 
God bless! ... sorry for the novel <3

Just uploaded to Youtube, a VERY short animation with a few sound effects thrown in for good measure. 3.22 seconds, to be exact.
 
Well, the only sound I couldn't really find readily, was a flute playing the song "The Protestant Boys" that was royalty free and all that to go with the notes the Flute Whistles as it burns. So look up the song and imagine it included into this short clip.


Here are the lyrics from the song "The Old Orange Flute", that inspired this little animation.

Now, the old flute was doomed, and its fate was pathetic
'Twas fastened and burned at the stake as heretic
As the flames rolled around it they heard a strange noise
'Twas the old flute still whistling "The Protestant Boys"

I sketched the elements and scene quite some time ago, maybe within the last year or two. It was quite tricky and my master file has 64 layers to it. I know, it looks pretty simple, but with all the changes it ended up taking just that many layers. LOL

Done in Paint Shop pro 6, animated (and watermarked) in gif form in Animation Shop, and put to the sound effects in Magix Movie Edit Pro 2014.
Full disclosure on the fire, the various flames were available via Picture Tube function of PSP6, I just scaled and modified them.
 

 
 
Anyone wishing to hear the song "The Old Orange Flute", I recommend this video. 'Tis my late uncle performing the song waaaaaaaay back in 1984. ;)

Thank you!
Since the video is now FINISHED! I hope you like it in the video as well! :D
 
Almost 20 months of work, 1920 individual frames, made from over 3,300 files in something like 218 folders. LOL Enjoy! ^_^
 

I was wondering if you guys would be kind enough to spare vote on this itty bitty baby Aisha drawn on ms paint xD
Thank you so much! Feel free to post your bc entries too!

Wow there's a lot of negativity and anti millennial rhetoric in here.
 
But virtual pet sites are still cool. People still use Neopets.
 
The thing is a lot more people are busy doing other things. And I find a lot of people base their ideas of how popular neopets is by the broken counter on the mainpage or whatever else. Neopets has gone through a lot of changes. And it kinda wallowed after Viacom decided to go do whatever. Viacom went downhill rather sharply the past few years and took Neopets with it which is why we had to move to Jumpstart.
 
Personally I don't worry about popularity so long as I still have people to talk to about it.
 
Before you start the death knells, I'd wait for everyone at neopets/Jumpstart to get back on track and figure out how to go forward.

Thank you for both posting! When someone posts, and I notice it right away and am fast enough, I usually get something.
 
Lucky you.

Oooooh! Maybe, just maybe, they will be able to reset the monthly high scores or get it fixed! But, as others have said, I'm happy with what they have done so far. Plus, happy that they are advertising when (and the fact that) they are doing maintenance.
 
I'm sure our European TDNers and Neopians are sleeping at that time - LOL :laughingsmiley:

You got my vote! I agree, Maraquan Shoyrus are adorable. :3

Thank you to everyone who voted last week!
 
This week my Shoyru is in the Beauty Contest. I would appreciate any votes you can cast this week!

I think Johnny Depp might own his own Colourful Pirate Wig for when he films Pirates of the Caribbean.
