Species Change Week is May 7th-13th!

Post by Sleet »

For all y'all furries out there, this is a yearly thing where you change your species for one week (starting the first Sunday in May). Spread the word!

I'm gonna be a red-tailed hawk!

what a coincidence, while I was struggling to figure out how, as shape-shifter, to make a meaningful change, I realized I don't think I've ever been a bird. so I'm also gonna be avian for the week.

haven't decided on what bird to be yet.

Hmm... not sure what I should do. Maybe a turtle? My sister gave me a stuffed turtle once claiming it was my spirit animal, or the animal that fit my personality most. Maybe a dog in memory of either Peanutbutter or Honey? Rottweiler/collie/German Shepard was a pretty awesome combination. Not much way I'll be able to make an avatar to fit it though. Though I might just stick with a dragon because I've only really just started participating in things and the novelty hasn't worn off.

Well, I didn't read the fine print when accepting the terms and conditions of using squirrel WIFI and ended up having my mind stolen by squirrels and transferred onto a 2G flash drive... and then inserted into a mechanical squirrel. Of course, they forgot to build the body, so for this week I'll just be a mecha-squirrel head...

Hey, at least I can sing "I Ain't Got Nobody." ...Worth it.

PS. Still no colored scanner of my own, so I colored a b/w picture of mine via MS paint (which I am not great at outside of annotating diagrams).

What's "SCW"?
It's difficult to wear gloves with webbed fingers...

When talking about a character, I often speak in D&D terms.

Yeah, I realized that about half an hour ago, but couldn't get to my computer at the time.

I was to lazy to finish digitalizing my new avatar, so I just have the sketch. Being the slow guy I am, I think I'll stay as a genet for the rest of the month, if only to give me time to finish it.
