They`re clearly continuing with the cosplay outfits (clothes and outfits based on Neopian characters) and I`m personally here for it! It makes perfect sense to make these outfits specific to the species of the character. My critique of the outfit itself would be that I wish the mask would wrap more closely around the head/face, as it looks now it seems like it will just fall off when the Meerca moves. And they need a pair of shorts or trousers... The Candy Meerca is based on the Jawbreaker, a type of hard candy. It is appearently rainbow on the inside (I didn`t know that!) which is why the Candy Meerca also has a rainbow tail, as well as the colourful pattern inside its ears. I love that they are taking inspiration from different types of candies (like the Candy Poogle, which looks amazing!) and giving us something other than the candy cane pattern or the sparkly-looking sour candy look. I`m not a big fan of the colourful spots on the face, and the red nose coupled with the cream face kind of makes the Meerca look like a clown. With all that said, I`m happy TNT is branching out with their ideas and look forward to more creative Candy pets like this in the future. (I was really hoping for a Candyfloss Jubjub, for example).

Ooh, this will be a fun round! Looking forward seeing the entries!

Congratulations to the winners, well deserved! Thank you to those who voted me, I appreciate it!

I love that they`re continuing with the outfit based on Neopian characters, the armour looks so good! The Burlap Blumaroo looks great, Burlap is really a colour that has never disappointed so far, I especially love the blue bits on the Blumaroo, it helps break up all the brown so it doesn`t look dull. Very good Blumaroo Day!

Most people went with Water pets, which is understandable since you can do so much more with them in customization. The ideas are so varied and creative, I love them! I think The Siren is my favourite, I love the story, and the Fountain of Youth is so unique. I also very much enjoy the musical references to Octopus Garden and Under The Sea! Great job allround, guys!

I look forward to Brightvale Day, as it`s one of my favourite lands. Are there any Neopets left who still need the Mutant colour, or are there only petpets left? If so, I hope we get 2 new Mutant petpets

This will be interesting! I love Maraquan pets and own a handful of them, I don`t dress them up, though - I stick to BGs and FGs, lol. Looking forward to seeing the entries!

Thank you very much for voting for my entry in this round, so excited that my country`s national day got me bronze! Yay! Good luck to all in the next round!

Strawberry is a cute colour, and I really like the Ruki. The leaves on the antennae are cute, I like how the seeds are spaced out and the green details. The outfit is really cool, I feel it fits well with the Desert origin/aestethic of the Ruki. The colour would make it blend in with the desert sand, making it good for camouflage. It`s detailed, and I like the white details (it is fabric?) on it, as it looks like it`s meant to provide some air so the Ruki isn`t boiled inside the metal casing. A very well thought out outfit, in my opinion!

Go for it, @Angeló! I would have painted the Pastel Peophin Toy - but that`s just a matter of personal taste, lol. I would have preferred to keep the Water Peophin.

The Toy Peophin is based on the Dalahorse, a small wooden horse (traditionally painted red) that has been produced in a certain area in Sweden for several centuries and has become a national symbol. They sell them in some tourist shops in Norway as well, I recognized it instantly and was so excited that TNT had taken inspiration from this and created a more unique Toy Neopet! It looks beautiful and I love it. Toy was not the colour I was hoping for, but from the colours Peophins still need, we could have gotten Clay, Gold or Invisible(!) for example, so I am very happy with this. The outfit is based on Marak (also called The Wave) one of the protectors of Altador. From JellyNeo Book Of Ages: "One of the twelve protectors of Altador, also known as "The Wave." Once the leader of a clan of Peophins and known as the Peophin Waverider, Marak defended them when a nearby village of fishermen attacked. Altador recognized this great act, and thus, Marak became a protector of Altador. He and his tribe now live off the Altador coast." I love these cosplay outfits that TNT have been making lately, and look forward to seeing more! I will definitely be getting the complete outfit for my Peophin (wig and all, lol) The trident is my favourite piece, but I also love that the headdress (not sure what to call it) is also included, I think silver looks better than gold.

Sent in my entry! Looking forward to seeing what fun holidays and celebrations will be showcased.

The Grunge oufit is cute, I really like that the belt is a separate item from the skirt, and the wig and gloves both fit the Kiko nicely, they`ve done a good job tailoring the clothes to the species. The contacts confused me, but I guess they wanted a lighter colour to match the belt. I think it`s cool that they are taking inspiration from fan art and bringing it to life on the site. The Maraquan Kiko is truly unique and stunning, it`s such a fun and creative idea to have the pet turned into a pearl inside a shell - just awesome! I really like the addition of the starfish as well and the shading on the eyes is lovely. The only thing I will say against it is that customization becomes even more limited than it already is with Maraquan pets, but this pet really stands out on its own and doesn`t need clothing anyway. (When a new Maraquan pet is released, does the Maraquan clothing fit them, or can`t they wear anything made up to that point?) I look forward to seeing this Maraquan Kiko around Neopia, I wonder which backgrounds would be the best fit for it.

Thanks so much to those who voted for me, so exciting! Good luck to all in the next round!

The colour hasn`t been released yet, looking forward to seeing that! This outfit has mixed vibes for me, it reminds me both of a fantasy viking (because of the horns on the helmet) and a knight because of the heavy armour. I do really like the tailpiece and the shirt and I like the spear. The helmet is a little clunky to me, I don`t like the horns and don`t understand the function of those things on the sides, it looks strange. I also don`t care for the "pants" it looks like a loin cloth. Overall, mixed feelings about this outfit, I would have gotten a couple of pieces from it if I still had a Tuskaninny on my main.

Ooh, Burlap! They have not disappointed once with this colour so far, and continue their impressive streak with the Ixi. I like how the button eyes look disproportionate, and just the overall patched up, scruffy look of the pet. It has the good mix of looking cute and creepy. The stripy pattern on the nose makes it look like a shell, does anyone else see that? The outfit is good, though they did not choose a good base colour to show it on, lol. I love that the horns are poking up from underneath the wig - I know some Ixi fans have mentioned it before that it bothers them that the horns are always covered by wigs. In this case, the wig itself looks very flat, I thought it was a hat at first glance (like a sixpence) but then I saw that it was hair.. The glasses are way too big and I don`t like the coloured lenses. But I loove, love LOVE that the shirt and jacket are TWO separate items, THANK YOU TNT!! I don`t think they match so well with the trousers, but that`s what customization is for. Always nice to see some generic male clothing.

With an open theme like this, it`s always exciting to see what people come up with, entries are always so varied and creative.

Sent in my entry, very last minute but every entry counts! Looking forward to seeing the variety of Myncis.

What have they done... The eyes! The eyes are terrible, they make the Flotsam look like an alien or something. I hate it. The colours themselves are so bright and the whole pet looks sort of... messy. Like they crossed Mosaic, Pastel and Polka Dot. There is no redeeming quality about the Oil Paint Flotsam for me, I really don`t like it.

The armour is so cool, I love the trident as well. I like how they have split the outfit into pieces so you can mix and match. I am hoping they will release some Maractite/Maraquan themed armour for Maraquan pets, I would have loved to dress my Maraquan Uni in that. Looking forward to seeing the new colour too!

Thanks very much to those who voted for me, this was a fun round! Congratulations to the winners, and good luck to all in the next round.

I love these cosplay outfits they are doing, I hope we keep getting more of them. This Mipsy outfit looks so cute, it`s perfect for customizations related to magic. I think the Steampunk looks fantastic overall, I love the gears inside the ears and the gold/metal on the "horns" (not sure what to call them, lol) it`s got some great detail, but I do agree that it is a bit busy. I also like the shirt, it makes the pet looks kind of half machine and half animal. The only thing I dislike about it are the glasses, they look like sunglasses and honestly look a bit off with the rest of the look, but as a whole I love this Steampunk pet. Very solid Acara Day.

I am looking forward to Peophin Day this month, excited to see a new colour and outfit!

Ooh, the Candy Kau looks so yummy, and I love how glittery it looks. The purple colour looks nice and has some cool shading/gradient to it. The bell is nice as well. The Sunflower outfit is really cute, the leaf mane can look good with an autumn customization as well, and I really love how they made a shirt and jacket instead of a dress or a skirt. I`m not a fan of the make-up, but the outfit as a whole looks super cute. Very good Kau day! <3

Thank you for the reminder, @jellysundae! I actually put together my entry earlier in the week, then left it to see if I could come up with anything else, lol. It was difficult to make, since I couldn`t use anything related to Yooyuball/the AC, Gormball or even the "Day At The Tracks BG," because that`s Poogle Racing. But I came up with something fun in the end, looking forward to seeing what people come up with.
