Sweetheart and Graveyard Neela

February 23, 2014 1:01 pm

Hello, friend. Are you keeping well? Many seem to be...falling apart. But others are remaining cheerful. Today I bring you news of neelas for both kinds of people.

The sweetheart neela is terribly affectionate once you get past its shy demeanour. It may even guide you to a love of your own! The graveyard neela, however, may guide you somewhere much darker. I would suggest packing candles on those journeys!

And for those of you who have no room for these pets but would enjoy a symbol of them in your home nonetheless, maybe one of these plushies or beanbags will tempt you?

Couldn't decide which of the pet colors I wanted...so I got both XD

Ooohhhmygosh, I need that Graveyard Neela!!! The Sweetheart one is very pretty too, but I really need the other one X3

My gosh, now these I ADORE. Do I need /another/ sweetheart pet? I'm looking at you, sweetheart Neela. HNNNG.

The graveyard one is absolutely gorgeous!

February 23, 2014, 1:38 pm by

Oh, dang. That Graveyard Neela is something I need to get, somehow. D: Both of these look fantastic - I haven't been this impressed with new pet artwork in a while!

February 23, 2014, 1:35 pm by

the pose on the sweetheart is a little odd, but the design overall is precious ;u;
and the graveyard is wonderful, so much detail!

February 23, 2014, 1:34 pm by

I'm confused as to when has time to like, eat and breathe and stuff. Both are lovely!

February 23, 2014, 1:33 pm by

I love all of the sweetheart pets I just can't decide which one to get! The Neela is undoubtedly gorgeous, but just under its leg is a bit of shading that looks like..... its butt..... and it makes me slightly uncomfortable. xD They're both wonderful, though! Props for the amazing job!

omg i love both

February 23, 2014, 1:33 pm by

Both of these are so awesome! Love these colors but I think I'll wait for a bit more before I use the elixir that's hiding in my vault. C:

I want to see that Sweetheart Neela in like 50 different poses to show off all of it's beautiful details. While I realize the Neela is scratching it's face, I'm going to pretend it's sniffing it's foot. You know, because Sweetheart pets are made of candy and they probably smell delicious.

Love these, i'm also tempted to start turning all my pets into neelas :p I am still hoping and wishing for a reborn neela so I can get started on my neela character :D

February 23, 2014, 1:29 pm by

NEELAAAAS. Not sure I like them enough to change Rhyca, but it's close.

February 23, 2014, 1:28 pm by

Is the Sweetheart one smelling its foot? Cute but lol

February 23, 2014, 1:28 pm by

YAY GRAVEYARD! :'D Now Anjo's custom overlay will make more sense.

February 23, 2014, 1:25 pm by

Oh hot damn, that graveyard neela is my jam right there

February 23, 2014, 1:23 pm by

Oh my god. I knew these were coming and I still wasn't prepared for how beautiful they are. I almost want to make all my pets Neela now. So gorgeous ❤️

February 23, 2014, 1:17 pm by

THEY'RE SO GORGEOUS OMG.... I love the way the shading on the neela is handled ohhh my god, it's always so.. like, I mean, all pets have gorgeous shading, but with the neela the shading always seems to be EXTRA FREAKING FANTASTIC. I am in love with the sweetheart neela oh god I don't think I could ever come up with a character for a neela, sadly, but yeah ok I'm just gonna sit here and stare at this for the next 500 hours, thanks. I love the way the colors were handled (god the little bits of teal im just ??? THE MARKINGS LOOK SO GOOD) the HEARTS ARE SO CUTE I CANNOT BELIEVE.. I really love the facial markings and OK just god everything about this is perfect, I love the swirly dark pink fur and the TAIL IS SO DETAILED, the texturing is freaking amazing I. good bye. I really love the pose too it's so CUTE omg its foot oh my.. god... i cant believe...

I looove the graveyard one too, graveyard is a color that I'm always a little bit leery of because half the pets BREAK MY HEART oh no, but this is SO GOOD ugh it looks so damn awesome, it's like.. done in a way that isn't overdone but is more like... potentially sinister.. undead.. beast yeah.. wow ok I'm really good with words right now as you can see 8(;; I just really like the look it has and the way it's posed so simply but that doesn't detract from it at all. I'm a really big fan of the... um... the.. things wrapping around it (hi yes I'm not good with words) and the stitches and aaah man what a good, good graveyard pet. I wish I could properly explain what I'm trying to say OTL but to me the graveyard looks like some really mythical, undead beast that they might have in a horror (or not horror but ~~dark~~ and antihero-filled) movie instead of just a generic zombie-fied pet or tortured poor innocent animal. It really stands out among the other graveyards I think!!

Aaa.. the more I look at these, the more I like them.. aaaah man....

Crap. I was certain I would never want a Neela. Just wasn't my thing. Rah you have made the best god damn graveyard pet in the world and now I need to figure out how to get one. Damn you Rah!

February 23, 2014, 1:16 pm by

I'M FUCKING VIBRATING I NEED THE GY NEELA

February 23, 2014, 1:13 pm by

there are only basic color elixirs for Neelas (and all the pets, with exception of the bloodred elixirs), so you can use an elixir in the pet you want to turn into a Neela and so paint it with a Graveyard Potion.

Sadly, the Neela elixirs are only sold at the Cash Shop.

February 23, 2014, 1:13 pm by

Oh dear. Must have! Must, must, must. I love the glacier neela, but the graveyard one is even better!

But...can we also please have some awesome Noktoa colours? Branna is looking way too plain for my taste :3

February 23, 2014, 1:13 pm by

Really love the details and color for them both! Would love the sweetheart one more if there wasn't that awkward chunk of fur? On its otherwise smooth and fluffy cotton candy tail, and the pose is a bit strange.

February 23, 2014, 1:12 pm by

Aah Qazim my good friend, I'd rather we drink a pint to better discuss these news you bring... Though I guess now I'll really have to get a Neela.

February 23, 2014, 1:12 pm by

I love the pose used for the sweetheart neela's beanbag.

February 23, 2014, 1:12 pm by

I actually love the Graveyard Neela and Graveyard pets aren't usually my thing.

February 23, 2014, 1:10 pm by

Horses and other Ungulates can and do use back feet to scratch their faces regularly. Totally plausible. http://blog.sarahunderwood.com/photos/09finnegan/06.jpg Not sure it totally read the indicated 'shy', but it's not out of this world crazy, either (although it's likely more of the underside would be shown, since it often requires some rotation of the hip, but that's fairly well countered by moving the head).

I do look forward to the Neela blazing the record for fasted 'completed' species, color wise though! Gotta get those CSC pet colors out there. Just lol.

February 23, 2014, 1:09 pm by

Loved the graveyard one... Not feeling well looking at the sweetheart's tail (I mean, it kinda hides the pet and the curve is a little square for my eyes), but the pose and the pet overall is awesome.
