So with combined efforts of our staff and all of you, we managed to get 17 Draik models done!  This does not include the many others that have come in for other pets and new items.  We are nearly 800 flash previews down from just before we started this.  THANK YOU!!

So, with the Draik models that came in, together we've unlocked two Fake Avatars, a Page Divider, and a Background.  Now, the page divider and background will match the layout once draiks are featured again.  So they are glimpses of whats to come.  We tried our hardest on our end - even painting a pet and transfering it, and doing many things behind the scenes to get there, but we just fell short.  The still locked Layout #1 and Layout #2 for Draik will be featured at 20% and 40% when the species is featured again.

    
Too bad we aren't on Neoboards, but we'd look great as council chat icons or on petpages!



The layout this goes with is STUNNING!



Could it get any more adorable?


With that in mind, our next featured pet is: IXI!  Now Ixi needs many models, but we've only included 50 in this feature - and this is the max number overall on any feature.  This way we make the percentages not so hard to obtain (ie: 20% of 50 is only 10 models, vs 20% of 100 is 20).  We've decided that at the 20% intervals, the graphics will be as such: Icon, Button, Banner, Layout #1, Layout #2.  Kyra our new graphics maker is creating this round of graphics.  So if you wanna see what she can do, check out our Modeling Project and Model your Ixi!

This month's Premium Bonus Collectible is being sent out: Premium Collectible: Blue Moon Field Background.  Check out our Premium guide for this and all previous Bonus Collectibles.


We've added a Shop and Gallery layout for Faerieland.  We hope you enjoy them.

Faerieland

 Faerieland



We've also added a new Staff position to our Apply For Staff page: Background Composer.  We are finding that when graphics makers (including myself) are creating layouts, we're looking for someone to create the background.  Our premade background page is lacking new content.  A Background Composer would create premade backgrounds as well as backgrounds to go with layouts our graphics makers are working on.  So, if you love creating backgrounds, apply today!

We are also still in search of a Font Maker.  Please apply!

Introducing SunnyNeo's latest project!

http://images.neopets.com/template_images/drum_kyrii_crazy.gif
Okay Kyrii, thanks for the drum roll.  That'll do!
 

The Modeling Project

For two weeks we will feature a pet species and list the items we still need flash models for by that pet.  We've also listed other pets that need that item modeled under the item in case you have other pets you can help us with.  For every 20% of models that come in we will release a predetermined graphic related to that species.  So for instance, our first pet is the Draik.  Without the MIA items, there are 28 models we need.  At 6 models completed, we will have 20% done and we'll unlock a Draik Fake Avatar.  Upon unlocking the graphic we will release a small teaser image in black and white of the future graphic.  At the end of the two weeks we will release any unlocked graphics to the site.  If say we only get to 60% on Draik these two weeks, we will then continue the last two predetermined graphics and more the next time Draik is featured.

**NOTE** This does not hinder us releasing graphics.  We actually have a shop/gallery layout, and two userlookups in the works just to name some.  The graphics related to this project are simply to motivate modeling.  More of a thank you.

We have placed a counter quick button on our sidebar in the top section for easy access and tracking.

So, if you own a Draik, please check out our new Modeling Project to see if you can help us out.  Of course all Models not just Draiks or the Featured Pets are welcome and greatly appreciated.

http://images.neopets.com/images/nf/dijng14_8.png
Lets get this done together!



We've already had multiple models coming in for other pets listed on the page, and our first official Draik model!  Five more to the first 20%!

When items are completed for that species, we will strike out the name of the item but still leave the item up on the page for a day.  That way if you modeled it for Draik you can still view what other pets you can help with, or if anyone else has the item.  However to keep the page clean, after a day we will remove the item from the page.  So you can view this with the first Draik model of the Tyrannian Victory Day Party Hat.

Thank you to those who have already begun to help us out with this new Project!

UPDATE: We have had many models come in and we appreciate the help greatly.  We've had two Draik models come in.  One more and we're at 10%!  Halfway to 20% and our very first Modeling Project graphic!

It seems The Taxbeast has come for a visit! Feel free to host your new guest on one of your petpages! Whether you are wanting to count up those coins, those restocks or try your best to not make him angry this petpage is for you! The Taxbeast has even given you a spot to calculate how much taxes you owe him!

How thoughtful! Just don't get rid of it in front of him... Seriously.
