Oh what a super-wonderful day! Can I interest you in anything?
I think this was long overdue and there's really nothing to fault about the new look (except that anyone who's used the old image in a layout will find they now have a squished version of the new one). The Usul is very cute and individual, while still being recognisable as her species (although they could have brought the ears out a bit more-- at first glance I thought they were missing altogether). I do wonder why there'd be wigs in the Grooming Parlour, since they're considered to be a clothing item in Neopia, but that's just a minor quibble. On the other hand, I do see what look suspiciously like electric light bulbs-- have TNT decided that electricity is more or less ubiquitous now? That was always a little bit of a fuzzy area in canon.
