Today we have another Artist Showcase for you! We talked with Gobo Ziller, Erin Tudball, and Ash Warner about their love for Neopets and the things that make their art hearts beat!

What Was Your Favourite Thing to Draw For This Project?
My favorite character to draw for this project was Scorchio. The design is such a classic, and it has a special place in my heart since it was my first ever Neopet. I like to think he’s enjoying the view of Neopia from above the clouds!

That does it for another Artist Showcase! We are so lucky to have access to an incredible group of artists that are both passionate about Neopets and members of the community. It really helps bring so much of Neopia to life for the cards in Neopets Battledome Trading Card Game. We can’t wait to show you more!
Tune in tomorrow to Twitch.tv/Upper_Deck at 10:00am PST (1:00pm EST) for another conversation with Emily Mazza about the art acquisition process and her insights on this week’s featured artists. Until then… see you in the Battledome!
