Is it the Artist's Week off or something?

Why does the Light Faerie look undead, and why are the faeries interested in horrible lycra tops from the 90s? This image is from a new game challenge called Faerie Fashion.

.....What is wrong with her face?? And her foot? And why does she have an Illusen's Earth Potion with her at the beach?

Please someone reassure me that my eyes aren't going funny and I'm not seeing things - they've typo'd that greeting, haven't they?

It's not your eyes, you're not going crazy. Not just the artists having a day off - the English speaking staff members too.

I just noticed the 'tribal' style fiery armband tattoo that the Fire Faerie has - keep it classy, TNT!

That greeting is a trainwreck. Bad art, bad grammar, and one of the most overused fonts ever.

Yeah, that card is pretty scary. XD The shopping one is lazy, though. They seriously just used gradients for the hanging clothes?

Lol, in that last fire faerie image the way they drew her bathing suit and her leg make it look like she could have a camel toe going on.

Hmm, is that air faerie the first non-white faerie they've had on the site?

No, Jhuidah isn't white. But I was happy to see a POC faerie (FOC?) even if they did draw her with blond hair.

I have read through the card a few times now and can't find the mistake. Did they fix it? Or are my proof-reading skills getting lax?

They've fixed it! It did read "Hope your Summer is going better *then* mine".

But never fear - the TNT proofreading failboat is never far away! In today's New Features they've spelled weird 'Wierd' :P

Space Faerie isn't white, either.

I think they fixed it, it used to say "better then mine."

Obviously there is an artist who keeps trying to draw faeries - and that artist keeps failing...

I was thinking the same thing the other day. And what the hell is up with that fire faerie's ear?

I think he/she does a great job with aishas and babaas though.

But you skipped the best one of the lot.

I wonder whether anyone will ever use this background...

I'm not entirely sure why, but that background managed to send me into a fit of giggles. It just looks so wrong to me.
