_ivory_uri_ Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Really digging that outfit!! Toy looks pretty cute too(especially that blue. I loooove that shade of blue!) It's cool that today is Usul day cuz it's also my kid's birthday XD he turned 7! Mouseykins and midnight_spell360 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryAF Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Kind of a letdown for Usul owners if you ask me. A non-color and a three piece outfit. At least Toy looks pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuiina Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Hmmm not the greatest day for Usul fans in my opinion Invisible If it's one of the invisible pets that can wear clothes, it might be useful I sense that the pets who don't have Invisible on their color range will be guaranteed to have it on their next pet days. Toy What I genuinely believe it happened is that there were 2 artists doing the 2 separate body parts because otherwise... I have no idea why would they make the tale with a different color than the body, I just... don't... get it. Outfit It's a simple outfit. On the negative side, the hair feels sloppy + instead of launching a red lipstick, that already exists for all species, it would be preferable an eye shadow or eyes contacts. On the positive side, the dress can be used on different occasions. jellysundae 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bingo Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I confess I was staring at the first image thinking "okay, Toy looks fine, but when is the other one going to load?" before I looked at the caption 53 minutes ago, Yuiina said: Outfit It's a simple outfit.

Do we have any braid crown wigs? jellysundae and GillyTook 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellysundae Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Oh dear, just imagining the salt another invisible pet so soon's gonna be creating on the boards. At least the other option isn't Swamp Gas or Custard? *checks Neocolours* Ah, those two already exist! Totally understandable though, Advent Calendar stuff is gonna be taking up a lot of artist time right now I'm sure. TNT doesn't have the staffing levels to be able to be way ahead on production of everything (anything), and considering the postponement of the GMC which is another item-heavy event... I'm imagining somewhat frantic scrabbling to get Advent Calendar stuff finalised so that can go off without a hitch, and the Invisible pet fall-back position ended up having to be used, I'm sure they'd rather have not used it. Thing is though, it's gotta be done at some point. I rather like the idea of an invisible pet because you can have so much fun with the customisation. I'd be intrigued to know what needs to be done to enable an invisible pet to equip items, it confuses me why some items only work with some invisible pets. But yeah, I'm contemplating an invisible something for one of my two empty slots. midnight_spell360 and Yuiina 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've liked ANY of the toy pets, but the outfit is cute. Enough.

aleu1986 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Invisible should barely count as a colour - on the plusside, I read on the boards that it`s fully customizable, so fans of Invisible pets, rejoice! I believe there was a request put in the Editorial for a Burlap Usul, and the response made it sound like it was a sure thing. Oh well, hopefully next year then... Toy looks really weird in my opinion, but I think most Toy pets do... the colours are just odd and feel randomly selected. Why is the tail and bow a normal colour while the rest of the Usul is green? I think it would have looked nice if they kept the Usuls normal colours and just gave it this plastic sheen, make it really look like an action figure Usul. The outfit is nice, the dress looks lovely and I really appreciate that we get a short wig (only for Usuls, but oh well). I suppose there`s meant to be a knot or something at the back, we just can`t see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berriganify Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 re: the burlap usul, are pet days the only time that new colours are released? i don't really pay much attention to the specific days, so is it possible that the burlap usul might be coming at some other colour-releasing day? tbh im not a huge fan of the toy colour. its a cool concept, but the way light source always looks juuuuust a little bit.. off. and yeah, the colours are wack. looks like there was a mix-up in toy parts.. kind of like when my sister and i used to pull the heads off our ken and barbie dolls and swap them the clothes are super cute, though. theyre simple but classy.

MysteryAF Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Why don't they just release Invisible on every remaining pet? How much effort could that take? They don't have to draw anything. That would be better than putting them on the pet days in my opinion. They're just so disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Subeta, for example (am I allowed bring Subeta up? if not, then I won't do it again) we have Nostalgic pets which are exactly the concept I would expect for Toy, instead of these plain (lazy?) designs we got on Neo. 16 hours ago, jellysundae said: I'm imagining somewhat frantic scrabbling to get Advent Calendar stuff finalised so that can go off without a hitch, and the Invisible pet fall-back position ended up having to be used, I'm sure they'd rather have not used it.

It's the first time I've realised TNT have deadlines just as we do They have a LOT of deadlines! Events, petdays, new items, converting from flash, writing news and NT articles, releasing contests. I'm probably forgetting a WHOLE lot. And they got to work together as well, like the artist needs to finish but so does the coding, testing and whatnot before it can be released.

I think a lot of the problem is creativity, or the lack there of. TNT now are not the wildly imaginative bunch that made Neo what it is. Also, there's the artists... I've realised that just because someone can draw doesn't mean they've automatically got any design skills. Talent as a whole is lacking with TNT now though isn't it, the plodt-writing highlights that. But then original TNT will all have been drawn together because they were creative and artistic, the people we have now are just JS staff who were tasked with Neopets... oh and the spot of nepotism with the JS boss giving his daughter the NT editor's job... I wonder what Scrappy does now Jade fills that role. The artwork is generally much better now than it was in 2016 or so, I think that was the all time low. Someone on the team is excellent and has good imagination, but sadly they can't draw absolutely everything. Yuiina and Bingo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOW, of course, cannot unsee. xD That's pretty dire, isn't it?! It looks like something a kid who's just been shown how to use Photoshop did. Oh my, and it's an NC item!!! That's... that's really bad. But again, they'd not have released something like this, especially not for cash, unless they had no other option. Rubbish NC items are the epitome of a waste of time, aren't they, because people aren't gonna buy 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These cute little houses were inspired by the flowers in the meadows around it. This NC item was a prize for participating in the War Booty event. Yeah, this were an item out of a chest, guarantee NO-ONE paid money for a 1-pack chest so they could get November 23rd's item! All those 200+ people got multi-packs, for sure. http://www.jellyneo.net/?go=war_booty Hardly ANY of the prizes are decent, I feel there'll have been a LOT of disappointed people who bought a 20-pack.
