FreakyBowie Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 My Bob Ross-lookin' Lenny won first place in the neopoints Customization Spotlight! Man, I feel like I've really made it. My geek heart is bursting. My boyfriend looked at me like I was crazy, but I knew you guys would understand. Today I went to enter my neopets in the Customization Spotlight (as I do sometimes on an arbitrary basis), and it told me I couldn't enter my Lenny because he had won within the past 2 months. *Huh?!* I thought. I checked the results, and lo and behold. They didn't send me a Neomail notification about it, and I have no idea how much I won, but I'm jazzed! The little fellow is even in the news.

Scoobert_Doo Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Now that IS AWESOME! I can see the Bob Ross vibe! Makes me want to paint a "happy tree" and "give it a friend". Congrats! FreakyBowie and kayahtik 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeló Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 congrats :) it's such a nice feeling isn't it ? i have one trophy of each color (bronze silver gold) they don't send a neomail and you don't win any NP .. just a nifty little trophy on your pet's lookup :) FreakyBowie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jellysundae Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Oh well done! That's a great customisation. I had no idea who Bob Ross was, but the swiftest look on Google lets me know you totally nailed it, congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeló Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 i knew it was Bob Ross inspired customization and it's very spot on ... but the Lenny's name (Lennon) made me think ... will you ever customize him as John Lennon ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maypls Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I saw your celebration on the neopets subreddit and upvoted it! Congrats, your Lenny looks wonderful. Truly creative and deserving of the spotlight :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing his show on TV when I was little, and he's one of those people you can reference in a conversation and everybody just knows who they are. Great custom @FreakyBowie, and a very well-deserved first place! FreakyBowie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think his show was specifically for kids, it was just that it was on a lot in the early 90s, when I happened to be a kid. :) It's interesting though; I thought for sure that Bob Ross was one of those people who was just famous pretty much everywhere, considering how much of an icon he is even in Holland.

I think his entire show The Joy of Painting is on YouTube, in case you want to check it out. (And after you've watched him paint happy little trees for an episode, you can read about how he was in the army, but he hated yelling at people).

I have no idea why I haven't tried that, but challenge accepted! John had so many different looks, so I think it's definitely doable. Also, thanks for all the love, everyone!

FreakyBowie Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 Here you go, @Angeló! Had to go with hippie, "bed-in" era John. I'll keep him as Bob Ross for a while, but will definitely do this ensemble! Angeló and Nielo 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could tell as soon as I saw him. I loved watching him when I was younger. Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreakyBowie Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 @rntracy1 Yeah, I know :( I was stuck on wanting to give him a jacket, and I also limited myself to neopoint items. That one seemed the most rock star hippie, but I see what you mean. I had hoped there was a denim jacket, but alas. Maybe this is better, haha.

The pants are FAB. Closest you will get to Bell bottoms. LOL. And the glasses are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO John Lennon!!!!. I just wish you could see them better. I know what you mean about being limited to neopoint rather than NC items. Do you play Qasalan Expellibox every day? It's a long shot, but I have won it a few times. Plus, a lot of the events give NC. I'm telling ya, this Wraith Resurgence BEST give us NC. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, you're not kidding. I'm reading this and thinking "WHAT glasses?! *peers closer* . . . oh," I second the Expellibox comment, I won NC from that twice last year.

Seriously though, I was thinking to myself, he should put those famous John Lennon glasses on the Lenny. Then I was looking at it and I saw a red circle in the center of his beak and thought, "could it be, could it be.......could it be, could it beeeeeee............there could be some glasses, ........could it be?" LMArmsO. Bet they would stand out more if Lenny was another color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like my Lenny as rainbow for now, but Disco works much better for making the glasses pop out more and for the overall vibe. Still slightly awkward-- the way they sit makes it look like a hippie monocle. The stars can't always align perfectly, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, well now I see I had yet another MS derp moment, my brain was telling me your Lenny was disco, ofc now I realise it's rainbow, lol. I've never been keen on the Disco paint jobs because I hate paisley, I'm digging the pink feet there though! The glasses certainly do pop nicely against that colourway as you say. There needs to be some more glasses options, doesn't there. Normal glasses, not silly novelty things which so many of them are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
