Remember Neopets? They were super popular at one time, years ago. I think maybe they’re still around.
These are design drawings I did for a Neopets feature film. They wanted something that was appealing and animation-friendly, so here are some of the sketches I did. They liked them a lot. For reasons beyond our control, unfortunately, the film never got made. Such is life in animation, I had fun doing the drawings though. I have a bunch of others I’ll post later.

Perhaps the most notable thing about the sketches is the fact that none of them seem to match any existing Neopets designs but were designed this way to be "animation-friendly".
 
Given the fact that many of these sketches appear to depict swashbuckling pirates, the movie likely had some relation to Krawk Island, the pirate-themed area of the site.

On October 20th, 2021, Chris Suavé posted on his Instagram a variety of sketches relating to the film, with the following caption:

Perhaps the most notable thing about the sketches is the fact that none of them seem to match any existing Neopets designs but were designed this way to be "animation-friendly".

Given the fact that many of these sketches appear to depict swashbuckling pirates, the movie likely had some relation to Krawk Island, the pirate-themed area of the site.

On October 23rd, 2021, further sketches were shared also on Chris Suavé's Instagram.
