Popular Post Dmmetler Posted November 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2021 I've mentioned in the past that Neopets provided a lot of writing, art, computer coding, etc practice. Well, a few weeks ago, L got contacted by a reporter who was working on a story on Neopets for the New York Times and asked if they could use L's art as part of the piece. It ran today in the interactive version-you can pull down the menu on the side to see the different art-L has three pieces in :). Pretty cool. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/11/03/arts/design/neopets.html?fbclid=IwAR0o9faeeOW59miTJBwU7sTiMF7ffCLKBLdT-ZyQeOz2i-yqyg9SozjxOmM 60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 That is SO cool! My dd was a big Neopet fan around 2004-6ish. She did the draw your Neopet tutorials and got into making pets a lot. We have a make-a-plate still with her Neopet Lupe on it. 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost all L's pets are Hissi-snakes with wings, and some of the character designs are based on real snakes-Till is a maraquan hissi, and the design is based on a type of sea snake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gil Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 That's very cool. Unfortunately, it's behind a pay-wall, but congrats to your daughter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted November 4, 2021 Author Share Posted November 4, 2021 If you're hitting the paywall, try this one-it's the one Neopets posted on their official FB wall, and it worked on my iPad, which was hitting the paywall (I was able to access it on my desktop with the regular one) What a great read from The New York Times! Thank you for a wonderful article, but most importantly, thank you to our amazing and dedicated fans. We appreciate you dearly.

Tanaqui Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Hmph, I see that the NYTimes didn't factcheck very well. Neopets was originally intended for college students not children omg I cannot believe I am still irritated at seeing that claim. (And yet, I so am.) Still, cool article! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonhawk Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 How awesome, congrats!! And Neopets 😍 I loved my neopets, I must have been into it...idk, were they around in 1999? I started right before high school and distinctly remember having to get parent permission for my account. I remember when you could have them be light or dark aligned, etc. I had an Aisha and I ran a guild and everything. I got locked out of my account when my parents got a new computer and I cried for weeks. Good memories, lol. So happy to hear it's still going on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
