Hey everyone

I know it has been a long time between my last update. Just wanted to let you know that I am still battling an ongoing illness, but hopefully on the road to recovery. I do apologise for the lack of updates and news across the site. Slowly while I have had moments of energy and want a bit of escapism, I have been tweaking a few things across the new mobile friendly layout. Which I am still hoping to release in the near future

I do realise that we have missed coverage for one of the biggest events on the Neopets calendar, being the Altador Cup.
Hopefully next year we will be in a position to be able to give full coverage and insights into the event.

I am going to aim to make weekly updates as I continue to get my strength and health back to 100%.
To those who visit and support us I say thank you, and Sketched Neo will continue the build into 2021 as soon as we can.

First of all I just want to update everyone that the mobile layout conversion for Sketched Neo will be delayed.

I was really hoping to have it ready this week, however I have had some urgent medical appointments this week which has led me be too unwell to work on it.
Once I am fully recovered I will be sure to update everyone on the progress of when I expect to launch it!

Now onto some really great news....

Neopets announced yesterday a formal update for Bet V0.4.6!

A raft of new additions/updates have been launched, below we have summarised these for you
