something that is fun for me is taking pets i never liked and trying to make them appealing to me personally in some way. just some minor tweaks here and there can make "Ugly" pets much more cute. make myncis a little less squat and a little more dynamic with more curls in the design here and there, or give poogles a droopy face that sorta reminds me of eeyore. it's little things like that. 

of course, if you already love them how they are, maybe it's me getting my grubby hands all over them and ruining them. i hope not!

also, i know poogles don't have noses. i think it makes their design worse tbh. on their old art, there's this little scribble that looks like a tiny nose, which i thought was cute. so i gave them a nose.

anyhow, besides all that, i wanted to try keeping my lineart as it is on the first pass just to see how it turns out, but unfortunately the fun part of lineart to me is making it thick and chunky. i like to linger on it. oh well. 

i don't think i'm ever going to get bored with drawing neopets. i'm sorry that it's all i've been drawing for months at this point. i've been really into drawing cartoony stuff in general, and these designs are Literally Perfect for that, in my opinion. it's ridiculous how fun it is to draw a silly cartoon.
