I haven’t posted in a while, and have completely got no idea what to post about. Therefore, I decided to post about nothing but our beloved Pixie Hollow.
To start with, since Pixie Hollow closed on September 19th, 2013, several hints have been dropped about its re-opening, as well as about it’s never opening again. In this post, I’m going to talk about the hints on the optimistic side, or in easier words, hints about the virtual world’s re-opening and also about sites similar to Pixie Hollow which are being made.
1. http://a.dolimg.com/pixiehollow/game/#
This link leads you to a page which looks similar to the Pixie Hollow log in page, but it doesn’t work. I was jumping with joy when I first went to that link, but that joy was trashed in a minute. But then, every hint counts. 🙂
2. http://www.disney.ru/fairies/best-official-art-certificate.html
This link will lead you to the main Pixie Hollow page. 😀 At first it would take you to the Printable page, but I tried for myself and discovered that when you click on all the other pages. Alas, the link for the Pixie Central page and the Pixie Hollow World.
But still, you can print pictures, watch the videos and do some other cool stuff!
3. Fairy ABC
http://www.fairyabc.com
Credits to Sapphire for making us more aware about this one. 🙂 I found a video by Izzy Foxstone about a sparrow-man called Wind Muddle and his friend Apple trying to re-create Hollow. As of now, when you go to this link, it would lead you to a page with the Pixie Hollow log in page and a text saying that the site is still being worked on. I remember when I made an account on Fairy ABC months back, soon after Pixie Hollow had closed. Then, they only allowed you to create an account and fairy, and said that they would add more features soon. As of now, they are still working on the site.
You can also the YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQoFw0vdbeg
4. This one is rather interesting. A BIG thanks to Ethereal Spark for her hard work. She tried to recreate the game using an app called Worlize, which lets you create a virtual world of your own. I visited it, and found a few fairies hanging around! 😀
And you can watch the related video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYt3UoKNusU
I appreciate all the hard work Ethereal put into this. Here’s the link to Worlize Pixie Hollow’s blog:

The link to her “Pixie Hollow” : https://www.worlize.com/user_session/new
In case this link doesn’t work for you, try out the one in the description of their YouTube video.
It’s not REALLY like Pixie Hollow, but it’s VERY difficult for a fan to make. The screenshots and music is great. 😀
5.Chinese “Pixie Hollow”
This one had caused a lot of excitement back when Pixie Hollow had closed down. Even though most people call it ‘Chinese Pixie Hollow’, the meaning of the virtual world’s name is ‘Little Flower Fairy’.
This isn’t really Pixie Hollow, but a Chinese game which is strikingly similar to it. It’s really cool, and also fun, BUT, the biggest problem is that you would find it difficult to play if you don’t know Chinese. -.- I tried playing it and I was, kind of, lost. O.O I do speak Chinese, but I can’t read it. :O It would be helpful if it was in either English, French, Spanish, Greek or any other language that I can read and understand.
Despite that, it’s a great game to play if you speak Chinese! 😀
And if you really, really want to play it, you would need to watch some tutorials on YouTube.
Here’s the link to the site:

So then, that was a lot. Now, I”m going to start with that same (boring) routine of telling you something about my drawings. 😀
Guess what, I found out a link to The Manga Digital Painter from Disney Create! Actually, it wasn’t me, but a friend from the Disney Create Wiki. I’m just helping in spreading the word. ^.^
Here’s the link:

It’s kind of glitchy but it still works very well, and you must try it out! You can’t log in or save your artwork, but still. 🙂 Something is better than nothing.
I installed a painter called GIMP 2.6 to my computer and tried it out. You can create professional artwork on it, and I’m nothing but a mere beginner. -.-
Here’s something I made for a friend’s birthday on the painter:
Check it out on deviantART: http://wdmofficial.deviantart.com/art/Lovie-Birthday-Gift-for-Lost-In-LoveLost-461215407
And of course, some of my traditional artwork on full display, which I scanned to my computer:
Michael Jackson
I have no idea why I’m showing this to you but it’s probably because it was Michael Jackson’s death anniversary on 25th June. How is it? :3
