There is only one requirement for a new Neopets color, albeit, with one caveat.
To be a
new color—The base color of the pet must be sufficiently different from that of any existing color. Not the clothes. Not the accessories, but the pet itself. If a new color does not meet this excruciatingly basic and easy to fulfill requirement, it
fails. However, this can be circumvented by colors that significantly alter standard anatomy of a species.
This does neither. It's a statuesque
brown gelert with very pretty accessories. At least, in the circle and happy poses it is. In the other poses it's the standard goofy dog. It's a completely different animal, albeit with livlier poses, but very awkwardly executed.
It honestly looks like this was drawn by two different people. Or, if by one artist, at two very different times. I want to like the gelert in the happy and circle pose, but I can't support a pet that is neither a total redraw like Maraquan or even a simple colorfil. It's worthy of being a shopkeeper at best.
