My Lord Kass VRChat avatar is now available on Gumroad! Now you can look in a mirror and have Neopia's biggest, baddest eyrie looking back at you. He's got glowing eyes, flight, and toggles for his teeth and sword. And he's only $15, heck!! yeah!!

if you visit Praedius while exploring Neopia Central VRChat, he will be rude to you (but only a little).

apologies for the wait on world updates! but it's finally coming: look for the world update on Monday Oct. 13th, which is also Bori day on Neopets!

I'm sure posting this at 4am will be fine!!

I’d do a rock/ghost that was a broken open geode with a ghost in it, but it would have grandpa vibes and a beard made of crystals. Its name would be Geold and it would have regional forms with different kinds/colors of crystals.

oh dang, well, welcome! hope you're having fun! :3
to give you a more helpful answer, jellyneo.net has good donation guide, and is also a great resource otherwise.

the daily omelette and jelly are decent for points sometimes, and you might find extra junk at the money tree!

don’t let your brain lie to you!

I enjoy seeing your art!!

I will get back to my regularly scheduled Neopets-posting tomorrow, but today KurtJMac is reaching the Far Lands after over 14 years and I haven't felt such excitement for an online event since Twitch Plays Pokemon.

I haven't sewn anything in a while, so I spent a few hours hand sewing a little shirt for my labubu. I got the accessories while trinket trading at the renaissance faire a couple months ago. I think I want to complete this outfit with some kind of hooded cloak.
it's nice to do a little craft!

I had to mute it, which is something I don't often feel the need to do. x_x
It was filling the neopets list feed with gross looking weird ai-lookin garbage, making it difficult to find the content I was actually looking for.

What is its purpose? What is it for? Who is it for??

I'm steadily working on a few new, maybe secret?? areas to explore in Neopia Central VRChat! You DO have a flying avatar, right? ;D

There are invisible walls around Neopia Central VRChat, but if you're an out of bounds kind of explorer, you may have discovered they're not infinitely tall. There isn't anything to see out there but mess (pictured), but I'm thinking I might add something to reward folks who have escaped the tubes.

something to look forward to with the next update to Neopia Central VRChat is that I replaced all the ugly disc buttons that toggle the music with meepits!
they don't look out of place just hanging out in random corners, and it is their song that plays, after all.

I guess it's a developer/artist guide thing that got left in accidentally? someone told me I could get it fixed if I sent in a ticket, but I don't have a zendesk account and this isn't enough to get me to make one. XD
I just repainted my ruki.
arttimo.bsky.social
thanks!
the old bori avatars are fine, but they're outdated. instead of removing and replacing them with the new ones, I opted to put them all in one place so folks can still use them if they want.

he's absolutely grill-height!

It shows up anywhere that's showing the actual animated custom, and not the static png. Using css to display the static image fixed the lookup, but I ended up just repainting her since the problem is apparently unique to the orange ruki, specifically. she's faerie now!

I'm going to say definitively that this update will have to be pushed into September tho, sorry bout that! Life things are HAPPENING right now.

August has been a little bit rough but I've been working on Neopia Central VRChat when I can. Updates include laying to rest the old bori avatars (I put em in a grave), adding the Magma Pool (not pictured), and actually doing something about the scale of Dead Chia.

So not only am I suddenly unemployed, but my favorite coffee shop and hangout spot is gone.

Boo hiss >:C

My workplace has announced its closure at the end of the month. Fifteen years a customer there and just under five as a barista, I've not known life in this city without this cafe acting as my favorite meeting place. It's been a queer community pillar forever. And because of landlord bullshit, poof.
arttimo.bsky.social
Yep!

The walk cycle was included in a big animation pack that I got on reddit, but I made this model in Blender.
