That's a very good piece. And true, so true. I think a lot of us have been through the same thing. For me it was more the breakup of my store's group when my boss closed the store I worked at from under me. We had a small but fun sg for a while, but then... that, and the advent of WOW, and all that other crap that comes up in life.

Well spoken, BAS.

I have several 'real art' collections of characters from comic conventions. I have probably 60-70 of one tiger girl Raanatani, and about 30 of my blue guy Shard. Those cost more.

And they take up space. And they rip. Or fade. Or get catbarf on them. Or folded up the wrong way in packing. Or lost.

I really need to start getting more comissions done through here. And trading. yeah. because I can draw.

That could be any of a dozen or more of us, Aero. You know that.

.... You're kidding right? Please tell me you're kidding?

Fruit = males who like men, so to speak.

Flies = gather on fruit.



Becuase you have to admit that the hunky guys that "those" boys around here like to create and draw, they're often the kind of guys I love to look at.

Or like most of us grrlz here.... fruit flies

Not too late, but you might want to check out your competition first There's a LOT of great guys in here.... >.>

No. It's still creepy. How do we know that he didn't just say that to the devs for his bio writeup and he's really just a stalker (a villain stalker?) in disguise?! Huh?

I mean - all he DOES is stand there in his little yellow circle, right? When is he out getting flattering pictures of ANYTHING?!

*cough*

You rule. Thank you!

Of course, you left both mine out ... :/ What'chu trying to pull here?

Now don't worry. I'm going to try and make sure that we get a wide variety of guys in there. And if there's enough of em, a hero side and villain side one. I mean, there are some hotties and then there's some bad boys.

Sweet! The sexy just slides right off those boys doesn't it? And into that puddle on the floor. >.> *gets mop*

I'm going to be working out links and stuff in the case we've got way more guys than we need, and have to vote or otherwise decide who's in and who's not in. Then, off I go to Brandon

The info page has been updated - Bond Critters includes links to flora and fauna at the bottom, and the Holt Inhabitants now has... dun dun dunnnn, a timeline of all the arrivals.

Now I must actually write *story*

I've got the whole group 3 colored and ready to be put on Character Info Sheets (though they're still not all named).

Group 4 has mostly been sketched.

Here is an Otherforest Information Page!

And yes - for those who are tuning in late, I will *always* take new submissions for elves. Just *be sure to tell me who you are* here, because otherwise I get confused.

Referring to your own toons or ours?

Most of mine are at least level 12, though thats often where I cap out on characters that go slowly or are not as fun as some others. Ain't nothing wrong with having level 5's and level 8's in there, that's what, 3 or maybe 4 hours of play.

Come on, we've got 88-144 chances to show off. Enjoy.

Those hands you draw are beautiful. Sometimes a little small compared to the heads, but ... the hands. Aero. Beautiful hands.

lol. The lesson learned here is Train At Your Own Pace. That's what I plan on doing, I know how to do the machines and I know how to balance it with cardio. ANd yeah, they've cost me an 8 hour day at least, unless I volunteer someone else's shift which I don't really want to do. Meh.

Update:

Cierra colored! Everyone else in group 3 scanned!

Well, last Wednesday I went to LA Fitness across the street from my house and got a membership. I wanted to lose some weight and tone up a bit. I've had memberships before at other places, like a circuit training and such, but that was like 4 years ago. I've had a desk job for 2 years now and I'm all flabby.

So I go in and the 'personal trainier' guy they give me starts his sales speak stuff. How do you lose weight, how to get calories burned, change your metabolism and such. It's a whole lot of corporate speak blended with a tiny bit of marginally acceptable science. We want to train you for cardio, strength and then rest. Okay! okay!

So.... we start this workout - and he doesn't have me stretch out, doesn't put me on a bike or cardio machine to get my blood going at all, or my heart rate up. He in fact never took my actual weight (which was around 8 lbs higher than I guessed at) nor any measurements beyond that little hand-held fatometer thing. It's a heavy leg workout - deep knee lunges across 10 meters with a medicine ball. Back without it. I barely made that, because like I said, I've had a desk job for 2 years and I have no muscle tone.

Then we start doing horse-stance crunches with the ball.... and I fall down. Literally after about 10 of these deep knee bend things my legs stop working. And after I get back up? * I DO MORE*. Now, I know having a personal trainer there your'e supposed to meet the challenge and get pushed a little.

Well we walk over to the calf machine. I tell him, "I have to work tommorow and I stand all day at my other job. I get leg cramps there constantly." So we do ... calf lifts. Where you stand under the weight and lift with only the toes, like to increase your calfs.

Yeah. So I cramp in my foot there, unsurprisingly, and then the guy has me do 2 more sets. Not reps - SETS of these things. By the time he pulls me onto the balance ball of goo, I can hardly stand anyway. I rest up, I'm taking drinks of water here and there while doing it, but I'm ready to do something *other than* leg work.

But we don't do that. Insead he pulls me to the offices again and *tries to sell me a personal trainer extra gig* for another freaking 99 $ + 39 a month IN ADDITION to the 50 I'm already spending.

I'm like.... no. Sorry, but no.

I myself went out to do 10 minutes on a bike, to just get in the cardio you're *supposed* to have done, and I leave. I was planning on coming back on Friday.

So Thursday, I have to work 8 hours at the shell station. I stand up all day. I don't know how. I didn't crouch or bend or anything the whole time but I'm trying desperately to keep stretching to keep my legs from siezing up.

But by friday they were solid. I mean - the tops and backs of my thighs, and my calves, are effectively *blocks of wood*. While my thighs got better by saturday, I had to work Sunday so I had my friend come over and give me a massage Saturday.

I could actually put my heels back on the ground by Sunday, though that day was when my feet started swelling. I have never had swelling, Edema is a thing that I only read about. I know I don't have any heart trouble, diabetes or breathing trouble, so there was only one explanation for this. My feet and ankles and lower calves *were all the same width*. Seriously, my feet and legs looked like pale, white-girl sausages.

Went to the doctor on Monday and she's like, yup thats shinsplints. From my calves having been locked into position for 3 days or so, no liquid was leaving my legs. It all kind of gathered at my feet. So I had to spend a bunch of money to get those anti-embolism socks, for me to sit down with, and then slept all night with my feet up about half a foot which did help. But they're not back to normal yet, so I took the day off from standing *again*.

SO yeah. I don't recommend anyone use the LA Fitness 'personal' trainers - I'm going to be sending a detailed complaint to their company office, and pretty much chew the guy out for being such an idiot. I've had lots of success with real circuit training. I don't need to kill myself for one body part, then move on to the next. That's a farce. I like doing a little at a time, and that was apparently way beyond what this guy knew how to do. I hope he gets fired. I hope their entire corporate structure doesn't do it this way. Though honestly if it does I'm positive I'd be able to find a good number of injured people and get a class action against them (if only to get them to change their training policies). Feh.

But eventually when the swelling goes down I'll be able to go back and use their facilities MY way.

So that's my story.

An update!

Since I have injured my legs and shouldn't stand up (thank you LA Fitness idiots!) today I'm going to be coloring Group 3!


Group 3 - Cierra, Bob (NAMED), Trickshooter (NAMED), Riverdancer, Gymli, Doc Ryan, Volksmech, Nylonus (ALMOST named)

Then I'm gonna keep writing for group 2 because I haven't done much with the story since putting it up.

I have a lot of background information for the world which I'll be putting up on that site shortly, too, explaining the powers, skills and such. It wasn't quite finished when I gave up on it last time I was doing it, but that means it's almost done now. (weapons and descriptions of the Holts are pretty much all that's left).

.... Why not a throwable red ball like we get with the snowballs?

Except it goes 'kerboing' and flies around a bit before vanishing?

Since it'd be targeted, other people could *see it*.
