Jan 1 - Got Korbat's Lab avatar today! Also updated the NC section with NC from all my accounts, along with my wishlist. C:

Dec - Forgotten Shore and Smuggler's Dubloon avatars obtained!

Oct 28 - Nearly done with this; just the NC page, nav and graphics and this page will be fully functional. Feels good to only need one page for everything. @_@

Oct 27 - Making new personal portal page to keep track of things. Hopefully I keep to updating it. This is going to include art I'm working on/have recently uploaded, goals I have recently reached, and other major events I want to keep track of.

General FAQ

Mini About Me

My name is Nicole, but the interwebs may call me Nikki. I'm 21 and live in Manhattan in New York City. I am an art student currently majoring in Graphic Design while trying to personally focus on Illustration.

You can find me lurking on the PC. I mostly use Neopets as an outlet and inspiration for my art and to further develop my design skills. I am more or less completely self taught.


Are your pets UFT/A?

No, unless you see me on a board on my main account (l3lo0) advertising, none of my pets are up for trade or adoption.

How did you get all of your pets (read:UCs)?

Vaidao, Raggles, Lezsli, and Reniok were adopted through an application process. Ekiahru, Kseh, reeent, Lunerbella and Dhanari were given to me. Altalena, Leore, and Floofibob were created by me. Vahlex was traded for. None of the pets that I have adopted will ever be traded away. All lookups show how I got them and roughly around when.

Can you draw something for me?

I'm not taking requests at the moment, sorry!

Can you code something for me?

I won't code an entire page for you, but I can try helping you with any problems you run into!

Art Questions

Do you have a dA?

Yes. Because I was recently warned about it, it's best you search for the names of my pets to find me. C:

Do you take requests?

Please go here to see my request status if you didn't see a recent update on this page. Do not mail my main account about requests ever.

Someone has stolen your art, what do I do?

You can do 1 of 2 things. You can contact the person directly and politely ask them to take it down. Or you can contact me and I will ask them. If you have decided to mail them asking them to remove the artwork and they refused or have not done so within 3 days (and they have been online since then), then either you or I can report them so that TNT can clear the page. However if the artwork is in the BC or art gallery, the only option is to report the theft directly.

What do you use to draw?

It really depends on how I'm feeling. The majority of my stuff is done entirely on the computer in Photoshop 7. Here's a more specific list of programs, materials and tools I use for my art:

For Digital drawings:
  • A Wacom Intuos 4 8x6 tablet.
  • PaintTool SAI♥ (Mostly free program, look it up)
  • Adobe Photoshop 7
  • Various oekaki programs
  • For Traditional drawings:
  • A Papermate ClearPoint mechanical pencil
  • 0.5mm 2B graphite
  • Sakura Micron Pens 02 & 1
  • Prismacolor Markers & Pencils.
  • What is a tablet? Can you recommend one?

    It's a piece of hardware that plugs into your computer (via USB) where you use a pen instead of a mouse to control your cursor. Tablets can cost anywhere from $50-$500 depending on the size and model. The tablet sizes range from 4"x6" to 18"x12". I recommend starting with something small. A decent 4"x6" tablet usually costs about $70 new and $50 used.

    There are two brands of tablets: Wacom and NOT-Wacom. You can rely on Wacom. Now I don't necessarily suggest purchasing an Intuos unless you plan on going into art professionally, as it's a pretty large investment; but I mean if you've got money or a free parent-shaped ticket to an awesome tablet, GO FOR IT. Otherwise Bamboo's are very good for starting out/general use. The only real difference between the two (besides the obvious price difference) is the level of sensitivity - if you're just starting out you will NOT notice this at all anyway. Start small, work up if you think you need it. Those are my suggestions.

    Can I use ____ image for my ____?

    All of my art is labeled as to whether or not you can use them for yourselves. Above every image, it either says "Free Use" or "Restricted". If it says it's free use, you don't have to ask, just go right ahead! Just remember to give credit! Or at the very least, don't remove my username from it - you can edit the image however you want otherwise. Also remember that despite images being free use, you are NOT ALLOWED - by TNT's rules - to enter someone else's images into contests! It's really rude. :c

    Why can't I use a "restricted" image?

    The only reason why I restrict images is because of one of two reasons: It is of someone's original character or it was made for someone specifically - for example, drawings I've done for SunnyNeo or fanart I've done. Please respect this. If I find people using my personal images, I will request you take it down (and then report you if you don't, luls).



    Coding Questions

    Can you help me code ____?

    I won't code an entire page for you, no. However if you have a question about a specific part of coding giving you trouble or you're confused on a certain code, please feel free to mail me! I am more than happy to help people learn.

    How do you do "pages" on petpages?

    I use two basic codes: page anchors and setting the overflow to hidden.

    What are page anchors?

    Page anchors are links that send you from one part of a text, on the same page, to another. The links to your left are links to page anchors. Basically put:
    {a name="anchorname"}{/a}
    to where you want to "jump" to - I normally put them above my headers. Then make a normal link:
    {a href="#anchorname"}Anchor Name{/a}
    with the # and the anchor's name, and that's it. Of course you should be using the normal HTML brackets, not {}.

    What do you mean hidden overflow?

    This is going to be confusing for anyone who does not already know the basics of HTML/CSS. Most people set their div properties to "overflow:auto;". This makes it so that your boxes scroll. I set it to "overflow:hidden;" which simply takes away the scroll. The trick is to make it so that only the stuff you want to show in the first box shows. And everything else is linked through anchors.

    How did you make ____'s application!?

    More than likely using the codes above. Nothing really more than that. If you have any specific questions about something, feel free to ask me personally, but so far only the aforementioned have been asked of me.

    Can I use your coding?

    All of my readily available free use codes can be found here! Hoorah! Otherwise, I'd prefer if you asked me first, and it depends on what you want to use. For the most part I'd prefer if you didn't use my petpages - although you can look at them to reference the coding tricks above. If you wish to use this page then please click here.

    I edited your (userlookup) code, do I still have to give you credit?

    Yes, you do. While I do let you alter my codes as you see fit (which some people don't even allow to begin with), I am requiring you to leave credit. Coding theft is a form of theft on this site and is reportable.

    Editorial 250 - There seems to be a debate going on in the chat boards about whether or not Lookup code "stealing" is a warnable or freezable offence. So could you clear this up once and for all? Can you be frozen for taking someone's coding (but using your own graphics)? What if it's only basic coding? Or if someone uses someone else's coding to get the basics down and then changes it to their liking? Please clear this up so we know. Thanks. ~psychokittie25
    As most people are aware, stealing someone else's content is NOT allowed, and this is no different with code and layouts. There is a big difference between breaking apart another user's code to learn new things and then coding that yourself for your lookup and blatantly stealing that code and replacing the graphics. The former is fine. The latter is not. If you feel your code has been stolen, report it using the theft form and someone will look into the matter and determine if it really is theft. There are many different ways to code the same thing, and two people can come up with similar ideas, but it's quite obvious when one person has outright stolen from another.

    Editorial 308 - I've seen a lot of graphics makers state on their graphics page that they will report people for changing anything about their code, even if the person still gives credit. One in particular says they will report you for changing any pictures or CSS (even if you give credit). Can they really do this? Personally I think that, if you credit them, you should be able to change anything. But you're the all-mighty TNT, which has the final say. So... what do you say? ~zephani
    Their work, their rules. Sorry. You have no right to alter their work (even if you credit them) without their permission. If you took Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, changed a few words, and then posted it on the Internet, you'd likely be contacted by several lawyers before you could say "Rictusempra." They would not be appeased to hear that you gave credit to J.K. Rowling. You are changing and using work that is not yours, so unless the original creator of that work says it's okay, you have no right to do so.

    Coding Use

    Want to use this page's coding?

    Because I want to limit the use of this page, you must ask to use it. Only these people are allowed to use this template.

    By asking to use this template, you are forfeiting your right to ask me for any help you may need with this code. You are still required to credit me for the base code regardless of how you alter it.

    Also you'll have to view the source to get the code yourself. Just to weed out all those copy-pasta thieves.

    Verified Users

    If you see anyone using this code who isn't on this list, they are doing so without permission. Please have them contact me to obtain permission or please inform me of their username so I may do so myself.
