I don't really care what your whole take on gender issues is - I just ask that you respect people's gender identity while you're here. It's an avali community forum, not the place to get on your personal soapbox about stuff like that.
(not addressing you specifically Surge, just everyone in general)
Which is exactly why I'll say no more on the subject.

Call me when there's something to moderate lol - even the bots don't touch this place.
Oh yeah and ehks = she
I'm still keeping tabs on the place as well in case something happens, though I usually let Segolia and Ehks deal with any problems that pop up if it doesn't need immediate action.
The bots leave this place alone because of the new user activation policy. They can't post spam if their accounts don't get activated.
Unfortunately that policy does sometimes become a nusiance for people who do want to join here.
I should see about installing the forum mod that moderator quarantines the first few posts a new user makes.
Basically, your first few posts need moderator approval. After some have been approved you can post normally.
Like so it keeps the bot spews out of sight and totally ineffective in their goals, since they stay invisible to anyone without moderator or admin access and can be easily cleaned up.

Origonal-I wanted an avali was originally asking reks then one day Riley an old member decided to draw an avali for me using an example based on my in game avali (I like these colors way more than the colors I thought of for reks)
Link Halloween costume- got into a funny Halloween decoration conversation with shaddaris(sorry if name wrong) and scn-null (again sorry if wrong) and scn drew a picture for it and I got the piece that had me in it to use as a profile pic
Current-won it in a lottery I guess? Somebody was doing free art and I got selected to get drawn yay.
My main OC Jiroku, so similar to Surge. If you want to learn more about him there's this: http://fav.me/daerb4r
This particular pic of him is a pretty Doom-inspired one, depicting him as the "Doomvali" in his full body armor/piloting suit (helmet is off in the shot, of course). http://fav.me/db86zv3
I need to get a doom marine commission too. I fucking love the praetor armor.
I'll need to wait awhile on that though, I'm $100 in the hole for a ref sheet right now, and my rabid hatred of debt compels me to not have money promised to more than one artist at a time.
Either way Doom 4 has amazing weapons. Not that I've played only watched. It's not my kind of game. It's weird. I'm not much of a sci-fi person or fps or anything similar.
But I've watched a few. Went through part of a doom 4 let's play. I like the mechanic where you can do that killing blow thing, I think you know what I mean. I won't pretend I can have a good conversation on this game as I've never played it.

Joke's on you: I got this for free.
I've always preferred Classic Doom to Doom 2016: not saying the latter is bad or anything, quite the opposite, just that I prefer the gameplay style of the former. It's a lot more fast-paced and adrenaline-packed, I think.

Well I don't have your fancy pants "friends" so I have to pay for my vanity.
in doom 1 you can run behind a wall and sit on your ass for a few seconds no problem
in doom 4 enemies will quickly dogpile on you if you do that
enemies are a lot more aggressive and agile but also more fragile, the levels are more based on closed arenas and less of fighting through an entire level with it's own gimmicks
also that image doesn't really say 'doom' to me
yeah there's a shotgun, but that's about it
it doesn't even have wooden furnishing, what is this
Mine is the crazy form of a boss from an obscure JRPG series that probably nobody here is old enough to remember playing the originals of. Let alone who he is.
Also totally ripped it off from DA many years ago and have used it ever since.

Both of mine are Rinoah, the avali character I spent two hours pixel editing (First time doing pixel art of any sort in my life) and who I made this account to pay respects for. As she is from the original avali mod and was somehow directly deleted when the game auto-updated rather than being stored like the rest of my characters had been in a separate backup. Disallowing my ever retrieving her to get back the character skin so I could use it for another character later in the future. And I can't simply do it from memory since it had been in my eyes perfected down to every pixel and I don't have the capability (or tools) to come even close to it again anymore. That's about it.

I actually took the initiative to ask for a request (two now), and nobody else payed for me. You can get real good, cheap art if you know where to look. Those are the key words, and tbh I just got lucky. Regardless, it has practically nothing to do with friend circles in my case.
