Geez, Faan, that's still some good progress. Animew also posted something in the thread, although I don't know if that's his/her/its/xis/ApacheAttackHelicopter's submission or not. I'm the slowest one here, it seems. I hope more people enter, as well. I enjoy these competitions.

Going through old PMs in my inbox. It's eerie, like I'm looking into some different era or chapter of my life. So much has changed - and not just with me.

Alright, Rakue-- I mean, Animew.

I'll see you here when I've got my drawing ready.

Make a queue of hot female characters lining up to listen to my puns and watch me flex, and you will have the raptor seal of approval.

And I am the antagonist the town has to defend against when I come to invade the town in my Panzerkampfwagen VI to expand the scaly lebensraum.

in a flash

It's called good sportsmanship, ole chap. I want to encourage you by letting you think you still have a chance to win.

Mine is bigger. Spoiler alert.

without a scratch.

So I noticed, my dear Ani-kin Hentaiwalker. But is that seriously your competition entry? Production quality is decent, but eh... You're making this too easy for me. :P Come on, people. Join! This is going to be fun. Animew, Faan and I are going to have a blast, but we really would love it if more p...

Animew, posting something actually within the realm of normality and common decency?
Who are you, and what did you do with Animew?

Heading out to a pub and grill with some friends (from university) to banter and chill out. Feels good being able to relax a bit.

Happy birthday, Raven. I hope you have a fantastic one.

Aniflu, what abomination from the bowels of hell is that thing? Why does it exist? I have unanswered philosophical, existential and especially religious questions about your work.

To be fair, I'm actually more concerned about voter turnout than competitor turnout.

Thanks for the advice, Raven. :D Do you know how I might reach Sketchy? (Or is that something I could PM you about instead?) I've had one or two people be like "bruh, you're in engineering, why are you doing this?" I've got a few hours open in the evening on most week nights, and I like the idea of ...

Atta boi, Faan! The more the merrier, lads. Now at least the podium will be full.

Hey. Less talking, more drawing. ;) We are only short one person and with just under 4 weeks remaining, so the risk is acceptable. Also, spell my name right, you muppet. :P But to any artist reading this not yet in it (so basically anyone else other than Animew, lol)… Me love you long time if you jo...

I guess you could say... It's a vicious cycle . WhyDoAttachmentsIncludeNames.png Ivic, I am sure that pun made you feel at least 5% better, if not granted you a miraculous recovery. Like that "toof hurty" pun I sent you at the dentist. Seriously, though, I hope you get better soon. That sounds legit...

Why isn't my name gold yet, Rakuen?

Also this is obviously a joke and I'm doing a drawing, but if you include it as one of the choices I will lol so hard if it wins.

I actually appreciate you telling me all this, and take it all as a warning rather than dissuasion. ;) The mostly positive feedback I got from Sudan and Nanukk could really have been survivorship bias. Like Bill Gates talking about how fantastic and thrilling tech startups are when most fail. So kee...

I often joke (well, half-joke) that Tuks is the Apple of universities. I teased my friend that he and I were entering into the "iPostgrad" program, after trying to recover from seeing what the registration fee alone was. The fees are ludicrous, and Tuks is notorious for them. However, you do get wha...

Geez, dude. Chill. None of my assets are depending on it. I just thought I'd give it a try as something on the side. :P Your main objection seems to rest on the fact there are a lot of assholes. I guess you might be correct. Although the two artists I talked to today didn't seem to list it as a majo...

My favourite music genre: undiluted testosterone.

Hey, everyone. ;) It's your favourite dragonraptor. And only dragonraptor, really. As some of you may know, this year, I am busy with postgraduate studies. I'm looking to supplement the income I do currently have by opening up an art business on the side. However, as I have never done this before, t...

Wtf. Am I the only artist keen on this thing? Also, I am going to be a little rebel and start anyways. Come at me, mods. This is the sort of loophole I was trying to warn you about.

I'm about to head to the local post office to renew my license disc. If there is indeed some undetected Corona virus outbreak in the area, I am le fucked in that queue.

Ja, mein Herr. Striktly akkording to zee skedule!

Animew, l2read. Like I did a few days ago. Complex-superiority.jpg It's a more general high fantasy setting, not necessarily about DnD. Vague and open ended, but that gives us lots of room. Also, Rakuen, why must we only start next week? :P It's not like everyone is going to start at exactly the sam...

That was indeed the wrong HALO, but your idea sounds much better. Maybe I'll even pick up some sexy Elite chicks while there. I've been practicing my "wort wort wort".

It's seeming increasingly likely. I was trying to get into UKZN's rocket propulsion labs, but it seems they've already filled their postgraduate quotas. Looks like I may just have to settle for UP for now, and try my luck again when I'm done with my Master's. Just checking out other postgrad program...
