As you may have noticed, we've updated the Background of SunnyNeo!  We would of loved to do a site overhaul but we just don't have the staff-power to handle such a large movement, and we like the familiarity that SunnyNeo has.  So we've decided to take a simpler change.  You may remember a Snowflake background we used to have active during winter months.  Well, we will be bringing that back during Winter.  We've designed this current one for Fall.  The classic Bee background will be around for Spring. There will be another new one for Summer!  We hope you enjoy the small change.

We've added a great new Petpage layout for you to use and enjoy!  The petpage allows you to keep track of your pets birthdays.  You can keep track of the cupcake you'd like to claim for that pet, and remember gifts you'd like to spoil your pet with on their special day.  We've added a link to a "Thank you" card for each pet as well for you to keep track of the spoils you've given, and on the off chance others also gift - just don't go out begging for gifts as per against Neopets rules.


Its my party and I'll cry if I want to.
 

If this petpage isn't for you, we have released one in the past that is very similar to keeping track of pets birthdays and wishlists.

You would cry too if it happened to you!

Hello there everyone, it's Ziggy here again! This time around were looking for help with Rainbow Pool URL's. We sure hope there are some of you Neopians out there with the pets we still need images for.

We have quite a few models missing for our Rainbow Pool page. This feature allows you to see Male/Female side by side of each pet and color combination. You can see their expressions for different emotions as well, PB clothing, the PB clothing on other colors of that species, and any old art or UC forms. If you have any of the following pets, please consider modeling for us.  Unclothed means no wearables on the pet, and clothed is only referring to all PB Clothing for that color and no others.  You can see the full lists of items and an updated list for our Rainbow Pool on our Model for SunnyNeo: Needed items page.

To model; 

For a clothed image you will need to dress your pet in all of & only it's Paint Brush clothing for your pets color an nothing else.

For a unclothed image you will need to remove all wearables from your pet including its Paint Brush Clothing, so your pet is wearing nothing at all.

Once you have dressed or undressed your pet and saved it's image, you will need to go to your user look-up. Once there right click on the image or your pet to be Modeled, an select properties from the dropdown menu. Then just Copy the address URL for your pet, it will look something like this (http://pets.neopets.com/cp/5shssch7/1/2.png). Once you have done that all you have left to due is send me (Ziggy) the URL in a neomail. Please Send all your Pet URL's to ONLY MY NEOMAIL HERE. If you need help. please feel free to Neomail me any time.

Please Note; Out of our control due to some changes in the way Neopets now displays images, just entering your pets name into our modeling page no longer captures us images for our rainbow pool feature on SN. To get these images we now need the URL for each different neopet, an pets with PB clothing need multi saves and URL's sent in to get the full pet look. Thank You again so much in advance for doing these added steps for us, so that we can acquire the images for Our Dressing Room. We are so grateful for your willingness to spend the extra time helping us. 

Your all Super Hero's in my book!

We've added some SunnyNeo-esk Fake Avatars for you today in honor of our 10 whole years of SunnyNeo.  We hope you enjoy them.  Stay cool the rest of the summer, remember to relax, keep shining, and always stop to smell the flowers.

            
Ooo! Shiny!
 
We'd also like to point out that we've fixed the coding for all of our Fake Avatars!  So now you shouldn't have any problems with displaying the fake avatars on your pages.

Why use Fake Avatars? 
Consider this.  You find a fake avatar of ours that really fits you, your pet, or a current theme/layout.  You can use the fake avatars lets say for a council guild chat on the guild home page or petpage webbie.  Or to represent your pet or yourself on a petpage you are either apart of or run.  Though they cannot be used on the boards or guild messages themselves, they are pretty nice to have as options where they can be displayed and represent you or your pet.  Find one that fits you, or use our Graphics Request Form to suggest one that will.

Today is SunnyNeo's 10th Birthday! It's very hard to believe, but a decade ago today SunnyNeo was launched to help Neopians everywere. If you would care find out how SunnyNeo came to be. You can read all about it on our History page.



Mmmmmmmmm...... Cake! I want ummm...... all!
 
Let there be Piles of Cake and Mounds of Gifts for everyone! Hold on....... Wait! It's our Birthday, isn't everyone supposed to be giving us cake and gifts? Yes, Yes, I believe they are. However we here at SunnyNeo believe it is better to give than receive, so starting today through the end of August you will find some wonderful thing happening here at SunnyNeo. There will be more than enough treats to go around. So stay tuned........

We've got some pretty exciting things planned, so keep visiting us! We look forward to continuing to help out our fellow neopians for years to come!
 

Just 1???? ...... Hummmm!!!....... which one to pick?

Parties are a good time to clear the air between friends. So we would love to hear all your SunnyNeo Compliments, it's like the icing on the cake of a hard day's work :D. The Testimonials page is dedicated to some of the kind words we receive about SunnyNeo. After ten years, that's a lot of friendly feedback.

To start your celebrations off early, you may even want to celebrate by joining the SunnyNeo staff! Give us that gift that keeps on giving in the form of a new staff member. Pop on over and check out our Apply for Staff page. We're currently looking for A Highly Motivated ArtistCustomisation Preview Searcher as well as others.  We rely heavily on motivated staff members who enjoy helping all of Neopia.  Without our hard working staff, we wouldn't be standing here today.

A big thanks goes to  for its many years of entertainment it has given to us all. There have been Good Times and Down Times but, without it there would be no SunnyNeo. We are so proud to be a part of the Neopian World. We love to help out all our fellow Neopians out there, with our Art, Customisation Features, Item Lists an Guides as well as all the other things SunnyNeo offers. Here's to many more wonderful years to come for both SunnyNeo and Neopets!

Round and Round it goes ...
What all we have in store ...
NoBody knows ...

A new round of skirmish is about to start. Visit the Battleground of the Obelisk until the end of Wednesday to choose your faction. Competing in this round will be the Thieves Guild, The Sway and the Seekers.

For more information take a look at our Skirmish Battles guide.

Below you can see the flash previews we still need for the Acara. Please, if you have an Acara and any of the items listed consider Modeling them for us! You can have as many items as you want to model on your pet at once. (You can also keep your pets regular customisation on, you don't have to remove excess items.) After saving your pet, go to the Model page and enter your pet's name. The page will then tell you which items you have successfully modeled. 

Please note, some items such as showers, umbrella's as well as other Hand Held's an other such items, all have multi layered images to them now. So to play it safe if we could ask you all to please enter your pets name twice into the modeling box, that would be awesome. That way we are sure to capture all the flash images that is required for your pets species an the items your modeling for us.

Once again, Thank You All so much for all your Modeling help.
We are still missing 42/93 flash previews for the Acara.

SunnyNeo is looking for some artwork!  We're looking for either a highly motivated artist who is interested in doing quite a bit of work with us, or a handful of artists with similar styles to Neo's artwork.  So if you are an artist, please consider filling out our Artist application!

http://images.neopets.com/new_shopkeepers/1002.gif    http://images.neopets.com/new_shopkeepers/468.gif
All you need is a canvas and a paintbrush!


As always we are also looking for Customisation Preview Searchers so if you love viewing customisations and modeling items, please consider filling out our Customisation Preview Searcher application!
