Editorial > Old vs. New

Hi TNT! I was looking at old and new pics of Neopets, and I realized that while most of the old pets faced left, the new poses are mostly facing to the right! Are you trying to put us lefties down? Because lefties are awesome. This is discrimination, that's what it is. *shakes head* and I was just thinking of sending you a cookie... Anyway, why did they switch sides? ~dj_khen

  • Mmm... cookies. For the old Neopets, the artists who designed the earliest ones typically drew creatures facing left. Throughout the years, left just became the norm and though some of them strayed, everyone just started drawing them that way. With customisable Neopets, we had to design things a little more consciously. Making them all face the same way makes it easier on the artists and the programs that place the objects in the image. Also, with the Neopet displayed on the left on every page, it'd be really odd if they were constantly staring at the edge of your monitor. (Issue 321)
