Sweetheart and Graveyard Neela
Hello, friend. Are you keeping well? Many seem to be...falling apart. But others are remaining cheerful. Today I bring you news of neelas for both kinds of people.
The sweetheart neela is terribly affectionate once you get past its shy demeanour. It may even guide you to a love of your own! The graveyard neela, however, may guide you somewhere much darker. I would suggest packing candles on those journeys!
And for those of you who have no room for these pets but would enjoy a symbol of them in your home nonetheless, maybe one of these plushies or beanbags will tempt you?

I am absolutely in love with the graveyard neela, it's face is amazing!
The sweetheart is cute, not too sure of it smelling its foot. Maybe it should tuck its nose in its tail or something but overall its good!

The Graveyard Neela looks VERY interested in the Sweetheart one. Who looks like it's checking to see if it stepped in something. xD

I LOVE that Graveyard Neela! Most Graveyard pets just totally freak me out, lol, but this one is just right.

YOMYGOD! They are both incredibly beautiful. The sweetheart is perfect, perfect, perfect. And I love how gorgeous the graveyard neela's fur is even for being dead. Gahhhh they are just great.

LOVE the graveyard Neela!
And though I do like the look of the sweetheart one, the pose seems a bit odd to me.
Either way, nice update!

I love the graveyard Neela. I really appreciate when graveyard pets can be dark like this without resorting to gore.
And the sweetheart Neela is only smelling its farts because they smell like peppermint and roses, okay? You'd smell its farts too if you had the chance.

The tail of the sweetheart looks unfortunately stiff to me - its the sticker effect of absolutely no lineart actually leading into the tail and following the form. Except for that one little chunk missing, no lineart goes beyond a certain point. I know you want fluffy and yummy looking food but I think a gradient in the lineart as it leads out of the body of the tail would have done a lot. I love the spots and the silly ungulate head scratchy thing they do - and the colours are all bright and vivid and not washed out like I think some of the sweethearts have been. I really like this sweetheart, except for the tail bit!
and of course I love the darker theme to the graveyard.

Rah, you are amazing! The Sweetheart one didn't catch my eye as much as the Graveyard one until I saw that tail. Oh my god. I must resist wanting to nom on it... I'm sure the Neela wouldn't like that much. And that is a great pose!
Graveyard, however, oh man. I really need this pet!! Or the Glacier one. Still not sure how to do this. I want Ectoplasm to be a Neela of some kind... and this Graveyard one really makes my decision way, way harder. Perfect pose, perfect details, truly a great piece of art that I'd love to have as one of my pets.

The sweetheart version is nice but it looks very similar to the dawn colored one that is out already. I have several sweetheart pets so far but I"m not sure if I will make my Neela sweetheart or keep her the dawn color she already is. So many wonderful color choices....decisions, decisions ^_^.
Great job on the artwork as always ^_^.

I wanted a Neela anyway, but with the descriptions you guys just gave, I seem to have decided on getting the Graveyard Neela. Now I just need more pet slots... That's gonna take me a few years. :T

I love all of the sweetheart pets I just can't decide which one to get! The Neela is undoubtedly gorgeous, but just under its leg is a bit of shading that looks like..... its butt..... and it makes me slightly uncomfortable. xD They're both wonderful, though! Props for the amazing job!

Both of these are so awesome! Love these colors but I think I'll wait for a bit more before I use the elixir that's hiding in my vault. C:

I want to see that Sweetheart Neela in like 50 different poses to show off all of it's beautiful details. While I realize the Neela is scratching it's face, I'm going to pretend it's sniffing it's foot. You know, because Sweetheart pets are made of candy and they probably smell delicious.

Love these, i'm also tempted to start turning all my pets into neelas :p I am still hoping and wishing for a reborn neela so I can get started on my neela character :D

Oh my god.
I knew these were coming and I still wasn't prepared for how beautiful they are.
I almost want to make all my pets Neela now.
So gorgeous ♥️

THEY'RE SO GORGEOUS OMG....
I love the way the shading on the neela is handled ohhh my god, it's always so.. like, I mean, all pets have gorgeous shading, but with the neela the shading always seems to be EXTRA FREAKING FANTASTIC. I am in love with the sweetheart neela oh god I don't think I could ever come up with a character for a neela, sadly, but yeah ok I'm just gonna sit here and stare at this for the next 500 hours, thanks. I love the way the colors were handled (god the little bits of teal im just ??? THE MARKINGS LOOK SO GOOD) the HEARTS ARE SO CUTE I CANNOT BELIEVE.. I really love the facial markings and OK just god everything about this is perfect, I love the swirly dark pink fur and the TAIL IS SO DETAILED, the texturing is freaking amazing I. good bye. I really love the pose too it's so CUTE omg its foot oh my.. god... i cant believe...
I looove the graveyard one too, graveyard is a color that I'm always a little bit leery of because half the pets BREAK MY HEART oh no, but this is SO GOOD ugh it looks so damn awesome, it's like.. done in a way that isn't overdone but is more like... potentially sinister.. undead.. beast yeah.. wow ok I'm really good with words right now as you can see 8(;; I just really like the look it has and the way it's posed so simply but that doesn't detract from it at all. I'm a really big fan of the... um... the.. things wrapping around it (hi yes I'm not good with words) and the stitches and aaah man what a good, good graveyard pet. I wish I could properly explain what I'm trying to say OTL but to me the graveyard looks like some really mythical, undead beast that they might have in a horror (or not horror but ~dark~ and antihero-filled) movie instead of just a generic zombie-fied pet or tortured poor innocent animal. It really stands out among the other graveyards I think!!
Aaa.. the more I look at these, the more I like them.. aaaah man....

Crap. I was certain I would never want a Neela. Just wasn't my thing. Rah you have made the best god damn graveyard pet in the world and now I need to figure out how to get one. Damn you Rah!

@EmeraldDee there are only basic color elixirs for Neelas (and all the pets, with exception of the bloodred elixirs), so you can use an elixir in the pet you want to turn into a Neela and so paint it with a Graveyard Potion.
Sadly, the Neela elixirs are only sold at the Cash Shop.

Oh dear. Must have! Must, must, must. I love the glacier neela, but the graveyard one is even better!
But...can we also please have some awesome Noktoa colours? Branna is looking way too plain for my taste :3

Really love the details and color for them both! Would love the sweetheart one more if there wasn't that awkward chunk of fur? On its otherwise smooth and fluffy cotton candy tail, and the pose is a bit strange.

Aah Qazim my good friend, I'd rather we drink a pint to better discuss these news you bring...
Though I guess now I'll really have to get a Neela.

Horses and other Ungulates can and do use back feet to scratch their faces regularly. Totally plausible. http://blog.sarahunderwood.com/photos/09finnegan/06.jpg
Not sure it totally read the indicated 'shy', but it's not out of this world crazy, either (although it's likely more of the underside would be shown, since it often requires some rotation of the hip, but that's fairly well countered by moving the head).
I do look forward to the Neela blazing the record for fasted 'completed' species, color wise though! Gotta get those CSC pet colors out there. Just lol.

Loved the graveyard one... Not feeling well looking at the sweetheart's tail (I mean, it kinda hides the pet and the curve is a little square for my eyes), but the pose and the pet overall is awesome.

The pose for the sweetheart is so sweet.
The graveyard art is fabulous. I think one of my favorite graveyard pets.
