Neopets has a team of artists, but somehow when it comes to pet colours there's a real mixed bag of results. Though not unique among colours, Chocolate and Strawberry can be two of the more painful when an artist is rushed (or seems to simply not care). The Chocolare Elephante being a case in point. Fortunately it seems the Yurbles were blessed with an artist who actually cared about what they looked like this year.

Chocolate has a lot of nice details. The whip-cream mane and tail are somewhat inevitable, but they actually look decent and have detailing. The chocolate sprinkles do not follow the contours of the whip-cream and so actually look like they were sprinkled on. The white and dark chocolate are nice touches, while the use of pattern drizzle on the knees really take advantage of the space available.

Strawberry's red may be a bit over-saturated, but the leafy mane and tail, and the slight greenery of the knuckles make up for this. In contrast the green nails on the toes look a bit silly, but at least the artist took the time not only to make sure the seeds look pretty good, but also that the belly and muzzle are not the same shade of red the rest of the body is.
