Neopets: A to Z


Neopets: A to Z  was an art series which released on a weekly-basis starting January 7th, 2024 to December 29th, 2024!
I chose to take on the project to celebrate Neopets 25th anniversary, and 20th anniversary of when I joined Neopets as well! (The last time I had drawn all the pets in order like this was 15 years ago in 2009!)
I hope you all enjoyed these drawings! I had such a wonderful time with the series all year long! As neopets has been part of my life since 2004, for 20 years, this project was just my way of saying thanks for the years of joy, friendships & even being among my sources of artistic inspiration growing up! And of course also my way of saying happy 25th anniversary to Neopets!
Without further ado...Here are the 55 species of Neopet in alphabetical order + the initial artwork release dates!
