The newest Floating Islanders comic is up on the NT!

I've wanted to make a joke about Betn's usual graveyard hangout being near the Void Within plot crew's campsite, for awhile, and the plot pause was that final touch I needed for this joke to come together!

The newest Floating Islanders comic is up on the NT! This week Capturi teaches Orion that Jhudora and Illusen can be a real dynamic duo!...if you motivate them correctly at least.

The one on-site got super crunchy. The 200kb requirements are killer sometimes orz

This one is dependent on the reader being an active Neopets player to understand it... but this is my most recent issue of Sutek Muffin in this week's Neopian Times! #neopets #neopiantimes

The Floating Islanders is back again in this week's Halloween Edition of the Neopian Times!

Despite having a penchant for mischief & pranking others Sekrat himself is surprisingly gullible.

Tried my hand at a limited color palette again in honor of the holiday.

With Mage x Witch taken care of earlier this week, I was able to spend the rest of it locking in to get the next two Floating Islanders comics done for the Illusen Day and April Fools Issues of the #NeopianTimes!

Here's a preview of the first panel of each comic!

#oc #art #neopets #neoskies
Anthony has just walked into Illusen's Glade. A Green Bori is pointing at him and looking off screen as he shouts "Lady Illusen! Someone has entered the Glade without wearing green!" Sekrat is sat in an ornate throne in Darigan Citadel, he looks comfortable and content. He says to himself: "Heh, with Lord Darigan in Altador, his throne was free for the taking! Comfy Chair! It's good to be King!"

Another new installment of The Floating Islanders! With all the plot stuff surrounding Vira, another comic with her and Betn was an inevitability.

Always support your besties and never let them wear silver and bright purple as a goth.

#art #comic #Neopets #neopiantimes #neoskies
Vira has an Altadorian Skeith guard bound in chains. Betn is silhouetted in the foreground as she confronts her, shouting "That's enough, Vira!" Betn looks incredibly angry, almost betrayed, as she says "I was supportive when you got into the villain big-leagues, but you've gone too far this time! I can't condone this!" Vira, in her purple armor with silver trim looks bashful as Betn scolds her from off panel stating "I can't believe you would let your boss talk you into wearing that outfit! Void affiliation or not, you KNOW purple isn't your color!" Betn is shaking a can of black spraypaint as she says "I won't let my best friend's big win be immortalized in this fit! Let's get this thing dyed black & red and get you back to conquest!" Nyx angrily shouts at Betn in the background, yelling "WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON!?"

The latest Floating Islanders comic has been published in today's Illusen Day edition of the #Neopiantimes!

Who knew Neopian customs were so serious!

Also this week is a bonus comic, because I wanted to expand on this stupid idea in an even stupider way!

#comic #neopets #neoskies #oc
Panel 1: Anthony has walked into the forests of Illusen's Glade. A Green Bori is looking off screen, and pointing at Anthony. He yells "Lady Illusen! Someone has entered the Glade without wearing Green!" Panel 2: Anthony smiles and puts his hand behind his head. He replies "Oh, I forgot it was Illusen Day. I get pinched now or something, right?" Panel 3: Illusen is depicted in dark shadows and lighting with a sinister smirk, holding a steel chair. She replies "Not quite" Bonus Comic (Too intense for the Neopian Times) Panel 1: Anthony is sat on the couch, bruised and bandaged with a scuffed nose and a black eye. He's holding an ice pack to his other eye. Sekrat, who is sat next to him hale and whole says to him: "This is still WAY better than what happened when I forgot purple on Jhudora Day!" Panel 2: Flashback in Jhudora's Bluff. Jhudora is sat on her throne with an unamused expression. Jhudora is holding a smoking pistol, and Sekrat is laying in a puddle of blood with a bullet wound.

It's been a while since I submitted anything to the NT, but today I made a brief comeback for the most recent, Chocolate-Themed Great Collab!

Idk if I'll come back to TFI in full swing since it's hard to balance with MxW, but I enjoyed making this.

#art #comic #Neopets #neopiantimes #neoskies
Konrana the Mutant Acara and Capturi the Ice Hissi are standing in the Roo Island Plaza. Konrana asks: "What did you get from the cafe, Capturi?" Capturi Replies: "Just my usual." Capturi States: "A Triple Chocolate Deluxe Caramel Mocha with extra whipped cream and a hot fudge drizzle!" The illustration in the panel is a detailed zoom in of this beverage that could more accurately be described as a desert in a cup. Capturi asks Konrana: "You didn't get anything?" Konrana gleefully replies: "Nope! I've Acquired a taste for Therapeutic Swamp Water while raising my stats!" Konrana is holding an opened jar of swamp water with a silly straw coming out of it. Capturi looks disgusted as the scene zooms in on her and her "beverage". She exclaims: "SWAMP WATER!? Yuck! Why would you drink something so unhealthy"

The newest Floating Islanders comic is up on the NT!

This week was for the yearly Christmas/New Year issue, and I came up with probably one of my dumbest ideas since my teenage MS Paint days. Nobody will believe Kiki's article.

#art #comic #Neopets #neopiantimes
First part of the Comic: Panel 1: A loud "THUD" sound comes from the ceiling. Small bits of dust can be seen falling from the ceiling from the impact. Kiki's looking up at the ceiling and excitedly states "Santa's Landed!" Panel 2: Kiki says to herself: "Now I can confirm how his sleigh flies for my next article!" Panel 3: 3 wavy bubbles are shown, depicting what Kiki is theorizing propels Santa's sleigh: 1: Giant Flying Raindorfs? (A raindorf with wings is shown 2: Faerie Magic? (The sleigh is depicted with Light Faerie Wings) 3: Mythical Beasts? (A real world reindeer is shown) Panel 4: Kiki is now dressed in a puffy winter coat and ear muffs as she opens the door to the roof. It is snowing outside. She exclaims "Let's find out!" Panel 5: Kiki is depicted in a bright red exclamation bubble-shaped panel. Her expression is positively shocked by what she has encounted on the rooftop. She exclaims "HUH!?!?" Panel 6: Kiki is standing next to several muscular shirtless anthropomorphic Christmas Unis, with reigns and sleighbells attached. The one in front says: "Yeah, so it turns out that only Neopets are big enough to pull the sleigh. But I'm sure that since we're anthropomorphic, this looks weird." He then says "The job pays great benefits though!" Kiki is paralyzed by disbelief and bewilderment. She is utterly speechless, with her hands clasped to her head. Her expression betrays the existential crisis toiling within her silent visage. She has bitten the fruit of forbidden knowledge and can never return to the blissful ignorance that she once lived where she did not know that the wonders and magic of Christmas was pulled by a bunch of muscular union-working men.

The latest Floating Islanders comic has been published in today's Valentine's Day edition of the #neopiantimes!

I thought this was a fun way to poke fun at the rules loosening up while not breaking them either. Definitely a bit true to my experience irl lmao

#comic #neopets #neoskies
Panel 1: Anthony & Sarlet are chilling out on the couch eating boxed chocolates Panel 2: Sekrat pops into frame asking "What are you both sitting around for? It's valentine's day!" Sarlet replies: "So?" Panel 3: Sekrat states: "This is the ONE day a year where the "No depictions of romance" rules loosen up! We should be out there experiencing it!" Panel 4: Anthony: "Neither of us have a valentine for that." Sarlet: "Do YOU have a valentine?" Panel 5: Sarlet's question has made a grave, dateless realization dawn on Sekrat, he stands unspeaking in shocked silence. Panel 6: Anthony and Sarlet are back to eating boxed chocolates in the same pose as panel 1. Sekrat has joined them with a depressed look of resignation on his face.

The latest Floating Islanders comic is up on the #neopiantimes!

This is another one involving the Void Within cast! I'm sure the new name that Baelia finds will be good, but idk if it'll top this one.

#art #comic #neopets #neoskies
Panel 1: Baelia is in thought. She is musing to herself "A name...a name...." Panel 2: Her face lights up as she gasps. She exclaims "I've got it!" Panel 3: Baelia is engulfed in a pillar of light. Tavi and Nyx are in the foreground, turned away from it and are startled/confused as to what is going on behind them. Panel 4: Baelia is revealed to have become a light faerie again. She is glowing a bright yellow. The rest of the void within cast are looking at her in shock and awe. Baelia: "I did it everyone! I found a new name!" Tavi!: "Woah! What is it!?" Panel 5: Baelia is blushing and happy as she gleefully exclaims her new name: "Geeplegorp!", some text in the foreground states "It's Kreludian!" Panel 6: Nyx looks annoyed and unamused. She states: "That is genuinely the worst name I've ever heard." Tavi looks uncomfortable and reluctant as she states "Yeah sorry B, I mean, G... I've also gotta veto that one." Luxinia has her arms crossed in an "X" shape in front of her and is shaking her head with a repulsed expression on her face. Panel 7: Baelia looks sad as she reverts back into a grey faerie, the yellow light magic dissipating around her. She states: "Darn. Back to the drawing board."

Didn't find her here, else I'd tag Komori for the Spooky shout out. But that's my rep for the whole of the #NeopianTimes comic section

Also there's a reason I chose Bone #2 for my image, as I got that book first somehow and read it a dozen times over before acquiring the rest of the series lol
