Neocolours

I was going through some old faerie-related Neopedia articles and am amused by the following images:



Behold! For I am entering this yonic tree thing!



Who you calling doughface, bitch??



Timewarp to neopets circa 2000.



Kougra massages mysterious lump in ground as pt. 18 Times New Roman sign watches in background.

Share your neo artistic gems if you have any, I love them

I have always adored the amateurishness of this in all its dubious glory (EPILEPSY TRIGGER WARNING): http://www.neopets.com/neopets_demo.phtml

What the heck is this supposed to be?

The real goldmine for bizarre old art is the Stone Age Neopian Times, of course. There are pictures in there of creatures that not only don't exist any more, but that I've never seen anywhere else on the site-- we're not just talking angle-eared Gelerts and sideways Unis here. I don't even know what half the beasties are that are illustrated in there, and since they had a chronic tendency to use pictures completely unrelated to the articles, I probably never will.


Waiter, there's two-dimensional cheese in my soup!


The Chocolate-Coated Toffee Mynci never quite made it into the Gallery of Evil.


Apparently "customisation gone horribly wrong" was not a Viacom innovation after all.


Tonight's special is Annabel and your waitress is Lobster. Wait, that's not right...

The top image is a gibbon of sorts with treasure (gold cups, coins, and a necklace). The lobster guy is the old Kitchen Quests npc, how I miss him

This site and this site have a bunch of old images.
You can also check out trading cards, most of the artwork for them is older then dirt.

Thanks for the links, Seerow! Just to clarify, I'm not necessarily looking for the old art, but for hilariously inexplicable old art you know that "oh my god WTF" feeling you get when you see things like that completely befuddling gibbon with fries on the floor. Hahaha. (OTOH I think most of the old art is actually like that.)

LMFAO @ that promo video thing, RD! It's epic. "GAMES: Ice Caves..but that's not all... NEOPETS BATTLEDOME." *really hardcore music starts*



There is so much wrong with this picture.



Captain Arf projectile vomits off of his ship.



I'MA FIRING MY LASERS



Is there any excuse for the collapsing boneless mess that is this meerca's face?



SURPRISE BUTTSECKS



When you are sleeping at night, a mysterious hand will touch you.



Timmy couldn't help but be awestruck; it was a who's who of Neopian crooks... Jo Jo the Lip, Mr. Funnyshoes, Toby Twinkles--they were all there.



The end.

How very twilight of them. And is that a miniature jubjub eating a grundo's ear/antenna?

OMG. EDWARD IS ACTUALLY A KAU.

Oh older then dirt neopets pet art with your gradient 'shading' <3 How I miss you and your horribleness

Stuff like this brings back fond childhood memories of summers spent in my little computer room with my best friend playing all 3 games that existed back then XD

I think it's an evil Fuzzle.

Oh, i'm enjoying these! I miss some of the old art. I miss both old-styles of the Space Faerie.

Spoiler: open/close

lol. I love this thread.

Neopia Central has a jungle in it? :S Did they cut it down at some point?

Oh, I think the whole world just burst into flame so they could make a new one.

I love that map. Omg. Digging the most completely self-evident label ever: ocean.



Do not ask what this lupe is doing. (IS THAT A TISSUE? WTF)



"Shit, Carl! Cops raided the meth lab!"



Attack of the rogue parallelogram.



The Soup Faerie cried when her friends found out about her incontinence issue.



How interesting...

WOAH. I never knew the Halloween Cybunny used to be Joker (from Batman). That's pretty awesome. o___o

Oh by the way, does anyone have that huge list of new Neopets that TNT promised would be released? I think the Gnorbu and Ogrin were on there as well as some other EFFING AWESOME pets.

EDIT: Oh I found it. http://www.neopets.com/possiblepets.phtml
