(I suck at drawing arms and feet, seriously.)

6/50

Wow! You look strong, well, you don't really. I was lying. I bet you couldn't even score two points! Pick up the mallet (if you can), and prepare to test your strength... (It costs 100NP to play!)

Title: Wow, YOU look strong...
Fandom: Neopets
Characters: Haunted Woods/Deserted Fairground cast
Prompt: Number 35-Liar
Rating: G
Author's Notes: Somehow listening to the Ape Escape 3 soundtrack makes me want to draw this guy. Who would've thunk?

Anyways, this is Arnold, the biggest liar in the Deserted Fairground. And that's quite a feat, considering that all everyone does in the Fairground is lie to their customers to reap profits. At least you can win the other games. Arnold? Bah, the chances of winning that steep jackpot (around 707 million Neopoints, which is A LOT. That kind of money could buy you pretty much anything you want.) are the chances of you get hit by lightning while holding the winning lottery ticket during Febuary 29th while the full moon is colored blue. You can't win the jackpot at all. He's got the riggedest stand in the entire rigged place.

I bet the other carnies envy him for that. He's busy humilating them behind their backs anyways.

I will say one thing. I suck at drawing Mynci. Their damn heads and the way they're shaped, what with the ears and the pig-like nose. It's no wonder I don't own one. In my humble opinion, Mynci are ugly, probably won't get a revamp to save their lives, but hey, they help fill in the monkey slot. They're not like Kikos or Chia, who need to drop off the face of the planet.

THIS is Arnold on the site. Hah hah, what a looker, folks. I especially like the flipper feet. Very nice. They make the horribly deformed feet I drew on him nice by comparison.

Although, he does look rather nice in this Caption Contest dealie.

...hey, a lot of the Fairground carnies have yellow eyes. What's up with that, seriously?. Seriously, FIVE people with yellow eyes. What, did someone spike the water that circulates through the plumbing there? Are they all cursed, or did the application ask for eyes that are yellow, glowing preferred? I bet there's some symbolism there that the fact that the Cork Gun Aisha is not only the only girl there but is also the only one with purple eyes, and purple's the spectrum opposite of yellow.

...you can tell that I'm sleep deprived, seriously.

Disclaimer: Arnold belongs to those crazy people at Neopets.com. With a few simple clicks, you too can lose 100 Neopoints and win practically nothing!

And Arnold so has to be my favorite Carny next to Misfortune...... well and Sid *laughs* so I guess he's third in my heart, but oh well =D!

but seriously. I think you did a fiarly good job drawing him, you know considering that hes such a pain to draw and all. I mean serioucly I can't draw him very. Mynci looking. I just have to draw him with you know normal monkey features and junk. but yeah

=D *steals him cuz hes so cute* He may be a liar, but his cute makes up for it.

Life is like The lottery. Some people never hit the numbers, and grow bitter. Some people hit some of the numbers, and become a slave to the system. And people that hit all the numbers are better off, but every hates em afterwards. - Rurik
:iconfenrina:
Yep... lose the money thanks to him... although I won two halloween paint brushes from him over the past year. Oh, the jackpot is currently 770 million now. o.o

He looks very mischievious there, yet cute at the same time, even though I like the Cork Gun Aisha best.

...and lalala says, who needs parents. XP
:iconturquoisephoenix:
I envy you and your luck. The best I've won from his Test of Strength was 200 Neopoints. *shakes fist at the evil monkey* I seem to have much better luck winning at the scratchcards and the coconut shy.

Yeah, Arnold's never really the favorite carny of anyone, really. Everyone likes the two carnies that are tall and blue better. =D

Nuuuuu, it's the Mynci money-snatcher :XD: God knows how many Neopoints everyone's lost to him! Still, I think the deserted fairground characters are the best :) (They're the most unique ^_^ )

Resist when surrounded
Fight when you have to
And obey orders explicitly when in danger

I am also a baby-eating Nazi... What, you think =torture-device eats them all by himself?:heart:
:iconturquoisephoenix:
I think the deserted fairground characters are the best for that reason too. Mostly, around the site, the pets are cutesy in terms of having clean clothes, bright coloring, and overall cheerful depositions. The Fairground, on the other hand, is home to the most scuzzy and ugly designs ever surfaced on Neopets. They use a dull colors palette on most of the characters (Exceptions being Sssidney and the Cork Gun Aisha) to really get this gritty feel. For that, they're awesome.

I wonder if Arnold keeps a tab on how many Neopoints he's stolen from everyone. Let's see, 100 NP a day...and every day for a couple weeks...wow, he's making money. :XD:

That dumb jackpot seems to lure me in but I always walk away 100 NP poorer. Those little prizes you do win are worthless.

The fuzzy legs don't look quite right to me.

We are all alike in that we are all different.
:iconturquoisephoenix:
I hate those legs. I tried to make them stick to the Mynci legs, but I found out a bit too late that Mynci legs don't follow the rules of physics! Augh, where are the bones in Arnold's legs? He just has a body with feet attached to them!

I agree. They should hide that damn jackpot. More people would keep their money. XD
