Does anyone remember the old images on Balthazar's Neopedia?
http://www.neopets.c...neopedia_id=121

I'll give you one of them to jog your memory.



There was another one of that same blue faerie that has been replaced by a very similar image of an earth faerie that you can see at the bottom of Balthazar's neopedia page.



The difference between the old one and the new one is that the new one is far more child friendly. After some rather thorough searching I can only conclude that this image no longer exists on the Internet. Anyone have it saved in some dusty old HDD?

You pervert.

[Crispin]

No use denying it.

But still, the fact that I can't find it annoys me greatly.

Sweet faerie sideboob.

I'm sure Waser Lave / Waster Lave / Laser Wave has it.

Then I hope he sees this thread at some point and decides to share.

You could just PM him...

[Crispin]

Good point. I sent him a message.

Checked that site already. It's where I found the above picture, but I didn't find the other one.

[Spirited]

I remember someone posted it on the neoboards when there was a discussion about it.

Just in case WL doesn't have, you could try asking the neoboards?

[Goose]

If you find it, can you post it on here? Tres curious!

[Crispin]

Laser didn't have it.

I have a feeling my account would get frozen if I asked on the neoboards.

And of course I'll post it here if I find it. Sharing is caring.

I found this animated gif of Crispin Glover from Charlie's Angels you can use as your avatar.


Now we're getting somewhere.

[Turnip]

No idea, sorry

Mmmm.. you could try asking on some other Neo forums like TDN/JN, they might know!!

[Inkheart]

Well, that sucks.

[Crispin]

Guess I'll start by asking on TDN.

By the way, I should have mentioned this from the start, but I've searched the following:

drsloth.com (with the tags faerie, balthazar, bottle and bottled)
photobucket (same tags)
archive.org (blocked by neopets with robots.txt)
neopets-archeology.tripod.com (no section for "Neopedia")
And, of course, google, which doesn't turn up much.

[Rikku]

Damn, not you have everyone all curious.

Unfortunately i don't frequent the neopedia all that often, so i have no idea what image you're looking for exactly.

[Crispin]

Look at the bottom picture I posted. Now, instead of an earth faerie, imagine a naked glowing blue faerie (with barbie doll anatomy, so no nipples).

The viewing angle was different too, I think. But this was over 5 years ago, so my recollection might be hazy on the details.

I remember that... it was a Water Faerie, same exact image as the Earth Faerie. They just re-rendered her. You can fix that with a program as simple as MS Paint.

[Crispin]

I'm not what you'd call a good artist, though. And are you sure? I seem to remember it having a different viewing angle and expression, unless they just mirrored the image or something.

[Turnip]

Ehhh... It wouldn't look very professional if you did it with Paint, though. Not to mention the lack of layers, which yes are very important and useful :V
Maybe if it was edited with Photoshop/SAI/GIMP/Flash~

[Yung]

I could just about swear it was the same exact image, they just change the Faerie... I remember having a discussion about it right after it happened.... It may have been mirrored but I remember it being the same as it is now.




I just said it COULD be done with MS Paint. Use Photoshop or GIMP.

[Crispin]

I guess I'll trust you on this one. I'm pretty sure the expression was different, though. I have this vague recollection that the air faerie looked like she was screaming. Certainly made the "These are the faeries that you buy!" line more impacting.

[Dasura]

I have no idea if you're still looking, but I stumbled upon this site Googling something completely unrelated and I signed up just to bring you this.

 

 

Hope it's everything you wanted, and if you have other ancient images requests, I may or may not be able to help. Guess I'll look around the site now and see just what I've signed myself up for.
