My pride and joy... the Maraquan Lutari! My initial drawing of it is on the left, and on the right are a set of classic poses I made for Virtu.pet! The official design TNT made based on that initial drawing can be found here: (http://neocolours.me.uk/viewpet.php?species=lutari&colour=maraquan&pose=all)
Being contacted by TNT and asked if I'd be willing to let them make it into an official Neopet was one of the most exciting moments of my life- the release day was even more exciting, not the least because at 1am the next day I had to go to the emergency room and discover I needed an appendectomy, lol. I traded my appendix for Neopet Real, groggily told one of the nurses about it after waking up from anasthesia, and then got to read people's nice comments about it on the Neoboards and Reddit while recovering from surgery
