I kinda forgot it'd be Easter this weekend, and since I've only received 3 entries so far (and am not even sure I'll have time to post the round today), I'm postponing the entrance date. My apologies!

WOW this was a hard one! It was so difficult to choose because everyone portrayed each season perfectly!

Woof, I think I made it in time with my entry. I can't wait to see what everyone else did for this! They're gonna be epic, I just know it.

They all look amazing! I am sad I wasn't able to enter this one. Good luck to everybody who entered!

Hey all! Sorry I haven't been on in the last 3 weeks or so, I had Covid and had to quarantine away from a computer with internet (I stayed away for an extra week to make sure I was completely over it). 😞 
Holy rabies, mine got 3rd place! Awesome sauce and cool beanz! All the entries look amazing! Thanks to all who voted for mine!

So yesterday I found myself a nice 90,000np bargin at 1np.
Today, whilst buying fishing junk (I'm obsessed with prepping for CC, I tell you... I have some 19,000 items in my SDB now), I came across a bleeding Mutant Petpet Paint Brush priced at just 50,000np. Current TP asking price? 1.2mil! That's another one of my petpets sorted then - a mutant Ona for my Mutant Draik!
*EDIT: I'm feeling guilty having checked the user profile. It's a brand new user. I'm neomailing to confirm it's them I bought from and I'll send a few goodies over to bring the price up to a vaguely reasonable point...

Scrappy and Gutterfoot released a youtube video of upcoming changes/common questions if anyone is curious and would like to watch 🙂
 
 

Two entries per person during the holiday season might've been a big ask, as I've only received entries from 4 people. I prefer to have a minimum of 5 entries per round (which I know isn't written anywhere, but when there's only 4, there's only one person who won't get an award, which just feels... awkward), so I'm going to extend the entering period by another week. (If I don't receive another entry, I might just try my hand at this theme and actually enter for a change, so the round will definitely start next week.)
 
I hope you all had a lovely holiday (despite, you know... 2020), and I wish you all the best for 2021! (It's got to be better than 2020, right?)

Happy New Year everyone! Well....my pets have picked an variety of food. The Gruel Pizza, Pickled Eel, and the *shudder* Dung Cream Sandwich all sound really gross. 3 good foods though. Lol.

I know this 2020 holiday season will be different for most of us, but I'm still going to extend both the entering and voting period, so even if you do get the chance to have a semi-normal holiday, or if you're just busy in general, hopefully there will still be time to enter this upcoming round.
I hope you'll all manage to somewhat enjoy these (socially distanced) holidays. Stay safe everyone! ☃️

If you're new to the contest, or simply want a reminder of the rules, they can be found right here. If you want to send me a screenshot of your entry (instead of the image DTI provides) but don't know how, check out this guide.
Current theme: Darigan vs. Meridell
Description: Two customs per person this time! (If you want to see how that might work, check out Rounds 42, 71, or 87.) In this case, one customisation should represent Meridell, while the other should represent Darigan. You could stick to Neopets' lore, but you're also free to imagine your own kind of "battle" between the two lands, as long as it's clear which custom is Darigan, and which is Meridell.
Entering period: Monday, December 21 - Sunday, January 3 10
Voting period: Monday, January 4 11 - Sunday, January 17 (I'm going to leave the voting end date the same, since voting can still easily be done in a week.)
If you have any questions about this round, or the Runway in general, just post them here, or send me a message.  

Achievments of this year...OH! My Gelert, Yow_Gelert, won 3rd place on Nov 17, 2020! I was so fricking happy! (Including picture of the Customization that won!) 🙌
 
Resolutions for next year, make sure to participate in more of the site events, if they have them. (Since I have no idea what will change due to flash being discarded like an old, worn out but beloved toy by cruel and mean people.) I also hope to get my Dream pet (A Darigan Chomby) in the Dream Neopet Giveaway. If not, I'll be working towards affording a Darigan PB and getting a Chomby MP. 😁

I just discovered this, and figured that ahead of the potential issues with Flash support shut down, some people might still be panicking over getting the Moltara worm quest complete.
Not sure if this has been known, but I noticed it wasn't on the TDN quest page. Figured this is useful since it seems that the locations are randomized for different users now.
Turns out, when you hard-refresh the Moltara city and caves pages, there is a split second in which you can see the worm colors in the locations they should appear in.  (Hard-refresh is CTRL + F5. This resets the cached images on that page so that your browser re-downloads them instead of remembering them from last time). Using a screen recorder (I used a Chrome extension) and doing this a few times, it is possible to catch that split second and save it as an image or screenshot the video frame so that you know where to check for the worms that you're missing.
Mine appear in the same locations as noted on the TDN quest page, but I know that my worms do in fact appear in those locations. Hopefully users with different locations can also locate their worms in this way. Definitely post if you have different locations and this method still shows you the original locations.

Not fond of Meercas, to be honest. I just don't like how the clothes look on them. However, I did manage to put together a rather awesome entry, if I do say so myself, that may change my mind. Then again, it may not. 🤷‍♀️

Oh WOWIE! That is an amazing background and I love how your Peophin looks with it! Where did you get that background? (It is a NC background, ain't it? *she asks sadly*)

Was very interesting trying to figure out a theme I wanted to go for. Ended up just letting the items, and the Paint Brushes, do the the talking. Think I came up with a very unique entry, to say the least.

I mean, how spooky is this???!

I imagine it would be striking enough on it's own as well!! I mean - yep!!
