I have actally gotten around to reading those ones, Good to see em

I am currently reading love & friendship

I'm very happy you enjoyed Zarra's adventures. Since I'm more of a writer than an artist, I've got to say how nothing makes me happier than to put words to the characters I draw and vice-versa.

Love & Friendship, eh? I hope you enjoy that story as much as I did writing it.  wingedhamham,  nishi, and I had lots of fun with it. Yep, yep, yep!

nice pic ^^

Thank you! It's my long-awaited return to using my favorite medium of coloring, too. The almighty, colored pencil! :) Gabby-Gabby-Gaboo!

I agree! You can't beat coloured pencils! ^.^ Heehee, nice to see Zarra's early days as a commoner!

Yep, yep! Before she had a home, before she was rescued from the pound, she was one lost Zafara just looking for a break. Who would've known that break she was waiting for would make her a princess? It's like something right out of the movies!

*Nods and smiles* Oh, how I do love my colored pencils! I haven't colored with them in so long and, when I did, it was meeting up with an old friend. *Happy leaping* Gabby-Gabby-Gaboo!

Hehe, she looks cool! (: I think you did a nice job. I like getting to see these in color, all fixed up! :D And it's her in her early days? Right on. :3 Adventure's about to come her way soon! ;P Ehehe.

Yep, yep! She'll go from making the "Oh, my!" expression to one of "Hurray!" before she has time enough to say, "Royal Paint Brush!" :)

Royal Paint Brushes are really hard to get at on Neopets huh?

They sure are. But, when you get one, they are well worth the effort. Your pet never looked happier once they have been touched by such a beautiful brush.

yeah, same with baby paint brush

the first two I got were easy (for my cybunny and wocky) but nowadays it's hard

and also the Fairy Paint Brush for my acara (back when it was avalible in the hidden tower for 200K Neopoints before they retired it)

Wow! You actually were around to see when they actually sold the Faerie Paint Brush? You are so very lucky. I really can't understand why they retired it.

They lately have made it quite a challenge to earn Neopoints. I used to be quick and play "Kass Basher" and "Bouncy Supreme." However, since they REALLY cut down the NP from Bouncy, I've slowed to a crawl in progress.

Ah, well, I have all my pets painted as I would like them at least. The rest is just the cherry on top. ;) From the sounds of it, you have much to be proud of yourself before the difficulty went straight to the moon, too. Congratulations! :)

thanks

and yeah I was, they had the Fairy Paint Brush for a while in the tower before retiring it, why? I dunno.

Probably due to inflation, nowadays baby paint brushes are inflated to the moon

She was still cute, even though she wasn't a royal zafara yet.

Indeed. Kind of like "Aladdin" in that she was, "A Diamond in the Rough."

If only her initial, Neopian Colleague could see her now. :)

Very cool. I remember Neopets very fondly. Made me some new friends, too.

Me, too! The coolest thing is that I discovered a lot of people on here are Neopians as well. My Neofriend list doubled shortly after I joined FA!

Did you have any favorites? Mine, of course, are Zafaras and Scorchios. :)

My other two favorites are Boris and that one that looks like a hedgehog.

Boris are cool. I almost adopted one when they did the "Hannah and the Ice Caves" saga.

Oh, I do believe you are referring to the Yurble. That little bugger has fond memories for me. It was released into Neopia during two major events. One was when McD's was FIRST doing their Neopet promotion. The other was when I finished one of the most grueling, college classes ever! :)
