My pets have nice lookups yay :D

Post by Madge »

I spent *three days* doing these, though not, y'know, 3 days of constant, non-stop work, but kind of close.

All my pet lookups used to suck, because I hadn't done them for the new system yet, and neopets blocks the site I used to host my images for some reason.

Now Uni's over, I have absolutely nothing to do all day, and needed a project to keep me occupied.

So I decided to redo them, and looked around for some inspiration, and then redid them. The thing that took the longest was tracing the pictures of my pets for the header images, and to a lesser extent rewriting a couple of the description text.

But now all my pets match! The only one that's a little bit out of the system is my lab pet's lookup, but I figure that's alright.

Next on my agenda is checking the Pet Chain for breaks, but I'll do that either later today or tomorrow. And possibly writing Sail a nice petpage as I always intended to.

I should probably put this on minor, but I spent three days working on them, so I'll be damned if I don't make myself my very own topic :P

Here are my very favourite lookups:
http://www.neopets.com/petlookup.phtml?pet=Ash because I like how pretty the faerie peophin looks up the top <3
http://www.neopets.com/petlookup.phtml?pet=Vellicate TehCutiePie's gorgeous picture she drew me, like, two years ago really makes it, I think ^_^.
http://www.neopets.com/petlookup.phtml?pet=Zoxot Syke's gorgeous art is gorgeous, and I'm oddly proud of the actual description I wrote.
http://www.neopets.com/petlookup.phtml?pet=Snowager Snowager's lookup, despite not having any personality, somehow looks very professional?

Here are ones that are nice, but not my favourites:
http://www.neopets.com/petlookup.phtml?pet=Uncky I like the way the colours work together, I guess?
http://www.neopets.com/petlookup.phtml?pet=Kiandril Simple, again has Syke's awesome art, but it seems to be missing something.
http://www.neopets.com/petlookup.phtml?pet=Belabub I'm still not sure how I feel about the picture on this, I didn't like it much when I first saw it but it's grown on me.
http://www.neopets.com/petlookup.phtml?pet=Rusted Bit bright, and not very much content, but the awesomeness of FMD's little picture (WHICH I STILL HAVE AFTER ALL THESE YEARS?) brings it back
http://www.neopets.com/petlookup.phtml?pet=Essith Not too happy with the text I put on this one
http://www.neopets.com/petlookup.phtml?pet=Avec The first one I did and I think it's perhaps a little overcrowded
http://www.neopets.com/petlookup.phtml?pet=Sans I wish I had a nice picture of her so I could make an image and have an excuse to expand on her description.

And here are the rest:
http://www.neopets.com/petlookup.phtml?pet=Nouvelle Really wordy, and doesn't quite match up with the others
http://www.neopets.com/petlookup.phtml?pet=Sail Cluttered with pictures, but her petpage wouldn't really be appropriate place to put them, either.
http://www.neopets.com/petlookup.phtml? ... GYWOOGYWOO The picture that got drawn for me is really hilariously amusing, but doesn't make it look professional as most of the others. Poor Poogy.
http://www.neopets.com/petlookup.phtml?pet=Incredulous Unremarkable lookup for an unremarkable pet
http://www.neopets.com/petlookup.phtml?pet=Spasztic I can never write Spaz a good description =(.

I looked through all of them, couldn't help myself. :) They are really awesome. I think my favorite is Vellicate's, I too adore that artwork and you made it work so well with the lookup.

Also this inspired me to go through my pet chain, it's all nice and linked through with my pets, but the ends are hopelessly frayed. I am going to do some neomailing/pming and see if I can't get it worked out.

Oh gosh, the site I put the webpage for the pet chain on seems to have messed up. I think I'll put it on Spaz's petpage so the pet chain isn't linking to outside neopets websites. The only reason I didn't do it orignally was in case I got frozen *knocks on wood*, I could still edit the page and people wouldn't have to edit their links. Now frozen pets have their petpages reset to default so there's no advantage over just putting it on his page. So I'll do that. And look through and figure out whose links are broken. Right now. And then make a big post about it. Demanding vengence?

Eee Madge, they look wonderful! I'm resisting the urge to steal your hard work and use your coding for my own ;D
