Draik Lair

[Saxen]

This was too cute not to share here.

 

I tried the Angry Meepit Eyes on my pets this morning, and I got totally unexpected results when I tried them on Cryo:

 

 

Ohhhh my goodness that is the CUTEST THING EVER!!!! XD You should keep her like that it's adorable!

[Spritzie]

:D It's like this wide-eyed innocence or something, especially since the wig covers the eyebrows.

[flyingeevee]

That actually made me smile! Thanks to that wig she looks so adorable with giant eyes :3

 

Giant eyes = ADORABLE! It's a proven fact xD

 

EDIT: Just restocked a Jhudora Wig!

[Wembly]

That is way to cute. I just peaked at it on openNeo but wasn't impressed with the eyes on a draik but covering up that little awkward bit of the eyes with the wig is genius and makes her look gorgeous! Too Cute!

[Spritzie]

I didn't even realize the awkward part was there on them. When I tried it on them, both of my Draiks had wigs on, so I didn't even notice.

I caved in and bought some NC :3

I'm looking to get a seaweed bubble shower but I will have to wait until I can buy some GB caps.

 

By the way, how long do items usually stay in the NC mall? I'm playing around with some customizations of a future water draik and there are one or two items I might want, but I won't be getting her for ages, since I want to do a royal/desert/water crosspaint.

[Spritzie]

That looks gorgeous!

 

I think it really depends. If it's a seasonal item, they have an expiration date. Otherwise, I think they stay around for quite awhile. I think they announce when things might be retiring.

[linsta]

Luckily it's only worth 1 GB cap. I would need to buy 2 caps so I have one to send and a gift box to send it in right?

[Spritzie]

If you don't have any gift boxes from redeeming a NC card, you would need to get another GB cap to open yourself for a box.

Ahh, I didn't realize that you got NC from redeeming NC cards! I will have to try that next time instead of buying NC straight from the site.

 

Also I'm going to be hatching another draik! I am having such a difficult time thinking of names though :(. She's going to be a water draik eventually. I'm going to paint her royal and desert first. The idea I had behind her is she's some kind of water-desert spirit/deity that protects lost travellers and leads them to her magical oasis.

 

Here's a rough idea of how she will look although I'll probably try to find np replacements for some of the retired nc items:

 

 

 

Oh yeah, and I just got an eventide aisha (traded him with a friend for a draik) and thought I'd share him too!

 

 

 

 

Edit: I was thinking of [removed] for a name. Hmm.

[Spritzie]

Awesome! I love the customization you have in mind for the Water Draik and the back-story you have in mind is super cool too.

 

There's the new, Lovely Shenkuu Fan from the Daily Dare that could be a replacement. (If the fan is NC)

 

Also, I removed the name you posted. I'd hate for someone to take it because they saw it here.

[linsta]

Ahh.. ok thanks ^.^;; I didn't really think anyone would jump on it, but it's a good precaution. I'm hatching her riiiiiight now!!

She's not showing up on my userlookup though...I'm trying to fix up my lookup now. I painted her royal temporarily. But I thought that if I could get her gender changed she'd turn into a royalboy so I could get royalboy clothes but no :(

 

And actually I bought that fan when I bought my first 1000NC since I had wanted it for another customization for her (more of a river-draik design). Someone helped me out with the customs. The fan wasn't supposed to be in this one but I forgot and left it in.. and I want to get the clothes for the other custom too so I just bought it for future use.

[Spritzie]

You just never know. I've heard of it happening.

 

Congrats! It's awesome to see another Draik :D

 

Unfortunately, the only way to get the RB clothes, is changing her gender by battling the scientist, then using another Royal PB.

Ah.. well good thing she hatched as a girl then. Or I probably would've just painted her royal and then tried to change her gender *facepalm*

 

 

Temporary customization for her time as a royal draik! I just made 2.5mil today though so I might paint her desert soon.. but I'm kind of liking that dress on her as royal so I may let her stay royal a bit longer :3

[Spritzie]

I just saw you added a picture. She looks adorable! The Meepit eyes really look good with that customization. :D

 

With Aitvara, I kinda ended up keeping her one color for about 3-4 months, before repainting her. I hatched her as Blue in September, and painted her Camo the next day. Early January, I painted her Christmas with a PB Manta gave me. She was zapped by Boochi early April. I left her Baby for probably about 2 weeks, then painted her Royal. Then mid-July, I painted her Desert. Then it was September again before I made her her final color.

[linsta]

I mostly like the royal because I only have a few NC items and they seem to go well with the royal colour. I don't really have anything nice for her to wear if I paint her desert so I'll just wait. Plus I've been spending so many nps on stamps that I can't even afford a desert pb anymore xD

[Spritzie]

The Royal Girl color is really fun and easy to customize with. The Desert, I found pretty easy too, with the few NC items I had, because it's a very neutral color for the base.

Head's up on anyone after a Water Draik - two Water Draik MPs are up in the auctions at the moment for 12mil. Considering Water PBs are so much rarer, it's a pretty good deal!

:O I wish I had enough for one right now. Maybe if I didn't drop 7mil into my stamp album ;__;

[Spritzie]

12 million is great for a Water Draik MP. It's nice to see prices dropping. I paid that amount alone, for a Blue Draik Egg a couple years ago.

[Anisha]

You're doing a good job keeping DL active Spritzie. :D It has almost 300 pages now. <3

 

So, any new color releases for the Draiks? I am sorry, I have not been active on Neo for a while now. :*

[Spritzie]

Welcome back Anisha! :D

 

I believe the most recent color for Draiks is Eventide:

[Anisha]

OMG. That is so beautiful! It's like a mixture of day and night. <3 Is it zap/FFQ only or has a PB? :)

[Spritzie]

It's rather simple I guess, but I really like it.

 

There's a PB for it. :D

[Anisha]

The Eventide Draik might look good with the Fire & Ice background. :)
