At last he was getting his special paint! His owner had saved up neopoints for so long to fulfill his special request... he wanted to experience the Woodland paintbrush. Always an unorthodox Pteri, afraid of heights and nervous, he just longed for a simple, calm life in the garden. As the thick, goopy paint was spread between his feet, stretching himself up tall as the flesh between them was drawn together, fusing and solidifying into rigid bark as the paint dried, forming his once separate legs into a sturdy trunk. He wiggled his stretching toes down into the comforting potted soil beneath him, feeling them split and root securely, holding him permanently in place within the pot.
The bird shivered with wonderment at the sensation of drawing up moisture through his new roots, mind trying to make sense of the curious new feelings he was experiencing as more and more of the paint was spread over his feathers. It first clung heavily like a shell before seeping down to his skin and absorbing inward, body creaking as muscle turned to immobile wood, still shaped like a Pteri but decidedly plant. His tail arched up behind him, splitting and spreading with budding green leaves that soaked up the warm afternoon sunlight... as the paint was brushed around the last of his yellow feathers, he sighed contentedly, feeling at home in the garden at last, and relishing the admired attention he was given here, a perfect addition among the plants~
It's been like 15+ years since I last played Neopets, but I was thinking back to it nostalgically, and how so much of it was TF-ey! From goopy paint brushes to the lab ray, morphing potions, magical TF plushies... heck. Probably influenced a lot of us! Those who played anyhow. And then I find out there's statue and tree paint brushes that came out after I left, so long ago??
Just had to try drawing this one too!!

I didn't know this was an actual paint brush in Neopets
Woodland! Yeah!! Admittedly, I pushed it a little into a bit more TF-ey realm, with the trunk and rooting in place thing, as the actual color is mostly bark and leaves. But still, so much fun that they even went there in the first place!
And the Relic paint brush, didn't have to exaggerate that one *at all*, it's literally a petrification brush lol

I see. Well, perhaps these paintbrushes grant mobility
The ones in the actual game do, Woodland anyway. Rooting is my take on it LOL
However Relic are 100% canon immobile. They're just statues for the most part, but they can kinda change expressions like the Weeping Angels do when you're not looking.

Kind of wish they made it easier to navigate and access things like the paint brushes, special areas, lab ray, and more; they made it so convoluted to even know how to get a negg
Yeah the website is a bit janky now that Adobe killed flash, which 90% of the place was built on. Most of the games are dead too. I hear that they're rebuilding it, but it's been over a year so who knows.
Yeah, I wish that I could still be updated on Neopets news so I can continue to believe that the thing is not dead, just quiet.
It's not TOTALLY dead, there's still a small core of dedicated players organized through the neopets Reddit, they use flash emulating browsers to access the old content, it's still there. Just not accessibly to most of the public it seems, so the majority of casual players have jumped ship
We might need to advertise the existence of NeoPets to help keep it alive
... The most awesome concepts are hidden in the most surprising of places aren't they? XD
Always love your art and the mini stories too
I remember inflatable TF too , maybe never touch neopets in a long time.
Permanat TF can be fun depending on what it is.

Yeah the other big thing I remember from Neopets was plushie TF with the plushie paint brush... may need to draw that one too haha. That and the lab ray, zapping your pets into robot drones or piles of sentient custard. Or solid chocolate lmao.
