I'm sure you can get an actual work avatar.

Yeah, I can. I could probably draw it myself in fact. Might even try to later.

So when we get a 503 error, it's actually due to your wayward pet chewing on an ethernet cable?

So, workers represent!


Post if you've got a work week avatar up and what the job is.




For me, it's a Network/Security Engineer working in a server room. Actual job I've had. Currently, I'm doing pretty much the same thing, but for multiple businesses as a consultant. The server work is mostly done remotely, so I'm very rarely physically in a server room.

My job is an audiologist but I had no idea what a succubus audiologist would look like, let alone how to avatarise one. So I went for something with a medical theme instead and came up with a "naughty nurse" style succubus with a huge syringe. Part of the inspiration was the Nyx from the Castlevania series, which looks pretty similar.

You always have to go the extra mile, don't you Serp. You've even got a banner displaying in the advertising section for work week.

Alucard here, with a The Succubus-made IT avatar.

How else do you expect a pistol-wielding super-vampire to fix a computer?

Also, Serpy Librarian is best librarian.

I'm not quite a blacksmith just yet. But my uncle is though, and want to apprentice myself to him If I can get that going, then perhaps you'll see my pieces online in the future

One of my university's Psych profs raises and trains dogs. Even uses them for in class demonstrations every once in a while...

...Also, Master Dragon Trainer is totally a job.
