Void Paint Brushes Reactivated + New Colours

Both the Void Paint Brush and Void Petpet Paint Brush reactivated last night, and are once again both useable and tradeable!


These items were briefly available on August 22, 2025, from the Alien Aisha Vending Machine. This was seemingly a mistake by TNT as they were deactivated later that day, causing them to be frozen invisibly in place wherever they were at that time. If you had one in your inventory or SDB back then, you probably have it back once more!

This time, TNT have changed the rarities of both brushes to r170, which is too high to be awarded from the Vending Machine. This means there is no known source of the brushes at this time, though perhaps one will be appearing soon?



Alongside this reactivation, three Neopet species are now paintable in the Void colour! Void, now that it is activated, is available as a Rainbow Fountain colour for those who have completed Fountain Faerie quests.


The Aisha collar does not appear to be activated yet at the time of writing.



All previously released Void petpets are now paintable at the Petpet Puddle as well. There is also one new Void petpet released: the Kadoatie!

There are 42 comments below. Add yours!

Would the Fruit Machine award these possibly?

Ough, big darkmatter subeta vibes.

@qu1nns unlikely. the Fruit Machine PBs are a pre-set list rather than rarity-based, so TNT would have had to go out of their way to add it.

Ah, thank you for the information. Maybe it’ll be a RE for now
by qu1nns on January 22, 2026 7:03 AM NST
Yeah this is basically darkmatter without the charm... :/
by catriki on January 22, 2026 7:04 AM NST
Beautiful color!
by allanmennezess on January 22, 2026 7:24 AM NST
Lord knows they've had these ready for a loooooong time. Gorgeous colour.
by thesign2 on January 22, 2026 7:39 AM NST
Probably will be added to the Void Within Prize Shop if they're making it so there's no other way to get it.
by pikachu315111 on January 22, 2026 7:55 AM NST
And ofc Ashias are one of the first to have it *eyeroll*
by therubyfox23 on January 22, 2026 7:57 AM NST
Anyone want to bet they'll show up as RICs in the TCG?
by dillpickles on January 22, 2026 8:50 AM NST
Not to complain bc I think these are cute but I'm kindaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa sorta surprised grundos didn't get a bone here, since they're kinda. space
by mercy_graves on January 22, 2026 9:30 AM NST
maybe it's just a coincidence but is anyone else getting some grundo's cafe vibes from some of these?? particularly the starry alternate nebula + constellation palettes??
by oceanhazel on January 22, 2026 9:35 AM NST
The void TCG set is coming out soon. It wouldn't surprise me if one of the codes gives the paint brush like the 25th anv set did.
by rayen on January 22, 2026 9:57 AM NST
What with this dark matter wannabe, someone has been lurking in subeta
Is quite underwhelming to be honest, but if this a reward from the plot then it's okay.
by koizumito on January 22, 2026 10:23 AM NST
Of course they're going to resemble other things/sites, spacey & purple + orbs is not exactly unique...
by thesign2 on January 22, 2026 10:39 AM NST
release a void tuffala you (tnt) cowards
by dogwater69 on January 22, 2026 11:20 AM NST
This means I no longer have to spend an arm and a leg to get a Minitheus, just a bunch of points
by frankfurter on January 22, 2026 11:25 AM NST
(and some NP for paintbrushes)
by frankfurter on January 22, 2026 11:25 AM NST
Void Baby/Mutant/Maraquan styles, please
by pancake on January 22, 2026 11:53 AM NST
Tbh, I actually kinda want the Void Chia. Especially if we don't get Wraith this year. I already know who it would be, which is a huge plus!
by overboss on January 22, 2026 11:54 AM NST
NOW it’s official!
The Aisha can now be ALL (conventional) colours!!! The list is (technically) COMPLETE!!!

Subeta mentioned
by spotter001 on January 22, 2026 2:15 PM NST
@thesign2 - Agreed, it's funny when people see similarities between two things and their first thought is that one is copying the other. My first thought is to question whether those features are unique at all, or do they instead tend to be consistently used as motifs whenever something of that type is portrayed. Like, 'void' or 'dark' or even 'cosmic' has always used purple, starry elements, amorphous blobs, etc. etc. This is nothing new at all.

Maybe I just notice this more because I hate purple, so always end up having to pass on things like that. Wraith is another great example.
by neolodgeism on January 22, 2026 2:39 PM NST
How..incredibly bland. This is more or less Wraith with less style mixed with the permanent reminder of the worst thing to happen on this site in years. There's no colour, there's nothing fancy. Void within became void without.. But I suppose that IS the point of Void...

Probably customises great with all the Void junk we collected during the previous plod months!
by apophis324 on January 22, 2026 3:13 PM NST
Neat.
by nobody on January 22, 2026 4:40 PM NST
Maybe I'm in the minority but I think the Void pets are cute :') I hope they get officially announced soon! Can't wait for more species to get the colour too.
by mucka on January 22, 2026 5:56 PM NST
That Kau is so pretty <33
by nighttimesakuratree on January 22, 2026 6:18 PM NST
i do see the darkmatter subeta colour comparison for sure, but i do like the void chia
by usedketchuppacket on January 22, 2026 6:46 PM NST
Ah I need that Kau!

...I really don't understand why again they gave Aisha the new colour from the start..they have nothing to release for it the next Aisha day
by ducky on January 22, 2026 8:04 PM NST
coolest Kadoatie ever
by katie2510 on January 22, 2026 8:09 PM NST
Not sure what people were expecting with Void so that it's disappointing people, these are basically the same as the pet styles, just... less dynamic. xD

Kau is best though of this release, the little blobs are better placed on it than the others. Bummed Aishas got it first. Wish they'd show other pets some love (like Zafaras)
by goldennightfox on January 22, 2026 10:15 PM NST
I think it would be part of the TVW prize shop prize because they once said there'll be new pb in the prize shop
by blue82182001 on January 22, 2026 11:00 PM NST
Void Kad tho <3
by beezebeora on January 22, 2026 11:33 PM NST
I also look forward to seeing more species. I wonder if this means the plot is coming back soon.
by meredith_eldridge on January 23, 2026 1:14 AM NST
I am LOVING how the kau looks! The chia feels muddled and the Aisha is in between the two of them for me. I think it might be because their mouths are somewhat lost with the black and all.. But I do love the antenna. I seriously doubt they’ll make the void spots into a wearable, but it would definitely be great if they did! Now then.. Time to wait for the Gelert! Because if it’s as adorable as the nc style was, I definitely want to change mine into the void color!
by reiryokuryuu on January 23, 2026 1:49 AM NST
I'm glad to have a new color, but I'm agreeing with @reiryokuryuu saying that the Chia looks muddled. The other two look fine enough, I'd say the Kau is actually really cute. I think the lack of contrast on the Chia's lineart is what makes the design not read as well as it should. It all just kind of blends together.
by xxstarl1ghtxx on January 23, 2026 5:41 AM NST
I have a Bori ready to be painted Void whenever it becomes available! She is Fire for now.
I just hope I don't have to wait as long as I have been for a Steampunk Krawk.
by mzlish on January 23, 2026 5:06 PM NST
@Ducky - Unless they broaden one of the remaining 35 special colours.

For example, MSP Aisha:

by 1jediboy on January 23, 2026 6:42 PM NST
This seems like such an anticlimactic release lol. i mean like yeah we all knew they were coming (which makes the complaints on here so funny??? like???? hello?????), but for there to be literally no fanfare or anything? Anyways, my main Aisha has already been wearing the void token since it came out, so might as well make her actually void eventually haha.
by mysterio on January 25, 2026 10:41 PM NST
@1jediboy

Yeah that is option for sure. AND I STILL WANT MAROON AS COLOUR!
