/facepalm

All the women I see in Skyrim are either blonde or brunettes. Hardly see anyone with black hair.

I'll do my Work's avatar on the weekend. Given that there's no way I could convey my actual job via a succubus without breaking my brain, I'll go with something in the same sort of field.

My work's one isn't up yet Pika (*cough*oractuallydoneyet*cough*) but the theme is your normal avatar doing your job or a job you'd like to do. My one will be The Succubus in a nurse's uniform, for example.

So, we might need to delay the week. It seems that my avatar will not be completed in time.

It should be a job you are doing, a job you have done, or a job you are working towards doing.

That looks suspiciously like me.

Speaking of which, I /am/ still waiting on that blacksmith avatar. Is anybody willing to take it up? Or do I have to start asking people personally? >.>

Rawhide, could you edit the thread title to say it's been delayed a week please? It'll give me time to do avatars for a couple of people.

I certainly wouldn't do it solely for the sake of my avatar, though it would be a huge disappointment (especially as I promoted the idea after it was suggested), but there are at least two avatarists I know of that have a huge backlog and haven't finished many avatars for various people.

How does everyone else feel about moving it back a week? For and against.

The other option, of course, is to extend it by a week - i.e. 21st Nov to 2nd Dec?

I promise I will do someone's Work Week avatar when I get in this evening and not sit there playing Skyrim. >.>
