The Final Day Of Classic Crab Colors

Heya' Fellys!


It's Monday, August 31st, 2020. Tomorrow marks a new month for The Island, and also the end of an era for Crabs.


In December of 2010, nearly TEN years ago, I drew Crabs for the first time. The Crabs used colors from the default color list on the old version of MS Paint- We're talking Windows XP MS Paint, that's old!



For over 3,500 days, those Crab colors you see in those images, still in use- But September 1st, 2020, that all changes with the classic color update.


Today, we will look back at some old drawings of some Crabs with the soon-to-be old colors, just for some last minute nostalgia.

On April 8th, 2011, this artwork was shown of the Green Crab, one of the first ones after The Island was open to public.

In early 2012, the Orange Crab was seen carrying a wooden plank for construction of the Pet Shop Fun Festival.

The Indigo Crab seen riding in a boat in December 2011.

A video advertising the brand new Violet Crab, released on November 1st, 2011.

The FIRST EVER drawing of the Rainbow Crab, confirming it's existence, drawn in early March 2013.


Thank you for reading, I hope this was nostalgic for you! As always, with every change, we can always create new memories!
