Would you like your avatar in the portrait to reflect the avatar you have on the forum as of the time of this exchange?
No.

Do you want a name other than your current username hovering over your avatar?
No. "Shademp" is my preferred online name. If you run out of space in the picture and absolutely need to shorten a few names though, you can use "Demps" for me instead.

Do you have any preferences for the age you’re portrayed as?
Middle-aged or really old. (I suspect that many people will instinctively not want to be portrayed as in their 70s-90s.)

Do you have any preference as for the type of expression/attitude/pose your avatar is sporting? (default is neutral/looking generally content).
I want to look like a scholar, so a pose where I hold a book might work. I should have the look of an old man who holds plenty of wisdom.

Do you have any other specifications you’d like to include (certain clothes, certain colours,
no buster swords or anything like that. Remember, simple and clean (isthewaythatyouremakingmefeeltonight!!)
accessories, etc)?
I will send you a PM with picture references and musings about possible designs.

Thanks everyone! Shall update those of yous who have given me all the deets + wander as a work in progress in the main post. Note that everyone else is going to be marked down automatically as a work in progress on the 25th of March next year because it'll be too late to change anything by then. lol. So if you care very much about how you want to look, please let me know, or else I'll just handle it all meself.

"Why'd you give me a third nipple?"
"Cause Fancy takes whatever Fancy can get :kermit:"
"That doesn't even make any--"
"THE 25TH OF MARCH. REMEMBER!!!!"

Also.

First, I want to thank everyone who voted in the link I posted and appreciate that you were trying to make your preference clear to me in the way I was asking for, but I'm going to close down the linked poll since not everyone is participating in it.

It's my own ruddy fault for not going about it in a smarter, more comprehensive fashion lol.

So I'm going to be taking verbal counts for now on. Please, if you haven't already, verbalise what style you prefer or give me that answer with your survey or somethin'.

Just saw this thread now, good that your going along with this man.

If it's by the year we joined, then I guess that makes me a kiddie then.

Also A or C is good for me.

Now I know you can easily find chibi versions of Unit-01 or Shinji floating around on the internet, and while I don't think I'd act like Shinji(Hopefully) if that's easier than doing Unit-01 then go ahead.

>If not, please send me a photo of the image you’d like portrayed in your portrait avatar (it can be an image of yourself, a favourite character, a pet etc etc).
Would I like to look like Nicky Wire? Yes. But you'd have to break my legs and then reset them to get the required height.

No, I'll send you a link to pics in PM :)

Do you want a name other than your current username hovering over your avatar?
No, Octo is fine.


Do you have any preferences for the age you’re portrayed as?
Just an adult human is fine. Not old as balls :lol:

Do you have any preference as for the type of expression/attitude/pose your avatar is sporting? (default is neutral/looking generally content)
Generally benign/content will do, probably the expression in the pics I link to will be fine.

Do you have any other specifications you’d like to include (certain clothes, certain colours, SMALL accessories, etc)?
I can send you a pic of an octorok, you can literally cut and paste it in there if thats ok? :)

Also, thanks for doing this, it's a really cool idea and it's great to see a new member getting involved so quickly :D

Yay!

You can be not a kiddie if you'd prefer? :kiddie: I think I'mma go for Unit-01 by the by! ^_^ Shall see. Will let you know. It's all a beautiful work in progress.

Sure :monster:

Haha, I'm actually really excited about what I have planned for you. :rudeball: Someone had suggested it when I first mentioned this idea on the group skype. Whoever was there, please refresh my memory?! 'Cause they're the ones to thank for what I plan to do lol.

That means a ton to me, Octo. Like, more than I can convey here. Ooooh all these happy feelings! :') <3

Also, thanks for all your info! Officially adding you as a work-in-progress.

Great idea, my preferences for styles are A, C, B, though A seems to be a hands-down winrar now.

Would you like your avatar in the portrait to reflect the avatar you have on the forum as of the time of this exchange?

Well, a pic of Ryoko is fine by me, there's plenty of material there to choose from, but a portrait is also acceptable, I'll PM you with a pic and let it be a surprise (Ryoko is more aesthetically pleasing though, lol)

Do you want a name other than your current username hovering over your avatar?

Mage is fine, it's not a giant space-consuming monster. :monster:

Do you have any preferences for the age you&#8217;re portrayed as?
If not, you&#8217;ll be portrayed as whatever group you belong in.

Nah, old as fuck for shits and giggles or mature person is fine by me.

Do you have any preference as for the type of expression/attitude/pose your avatar is sporting? (default is neutral/looking generally content).

Angry feisu is generally the default. :awesome:

Do you have any other specifications you&#8217;d like to include (certain clothes, certain colours, SMALL accessories, etc)?

I wear glasses and have ridiculously large boobs, so if you're not doodling Ryoko that needs to be borne in mind. Also my magnificent toffee-coloured mane.

Everythings been noted and updated. Thanks Tetsujin and Mage!

Guys, guys I just had a thought....

....and made a TLS.net community colouring book? :awesome:

I'm so in! Style A, I'd like to be an elder, but I'd like you to age my actual likeness into a cantankerous, slightly confused old man rather than use my avatar (King Hekaton, a cantankerous, slightly confused Storm Giant.)

Edit: colouring book is a cute idea too! To the TLS Store!!

Noted, Mr. Ite and Joker!

Yesss, I think I'm going to commit to the lineart thing. Yeah, it's gonna be extra work but you know what? Fuckit. Also, this won't be as pressing as getting the avatars for the portrait done, so if, by some misfortune, a regular member on the forum manages to miss this portrait event, they still have a chance to be in the colouring book.

Guys, can I just say how much I love this community? Even though we shitpost and argue sometimes, I love you guys. I feel the love. Not just cause I'm drank. Well maybe. But still. Adults making family portraits of their friends on the internet? is what my childhood self could only dream of (before the internet became a thing). So, yeah, thanks, and I'm so down with this idear.

On that note, I just wanted to say that despite having only been a member of this site for a little more than a couple of months, many of you have already begun to feel like old friends. Even now, undergoing this project and messaging people for their details and sending them sketches of what their avatar is going to look like, no one has been anything short of lovely. All and all, I thank you all for making me feel welcomed here. To think I had so many doubts and general anxiety about joining this site at first. I only wish I had done so sooner.

So thank you guys for being cool as shit :awesomonster:

Oh, and speaking of avatars; I've already begun making them using Style A since it's winning 2:1 if you discount those who have said they're fine with either A or C.

Sorry everyone--I lulled you all into a false sense of democracy. :okay:

Regardless, I encourage you to continue voting as the tides could still turn. I'm totally prepared to redo all the finished avatars. Call me a glutton for punishment, lmao. I cheerily like to think of it as more drawing practice in a style that I normally don't bother with. :awesome:

1. Yes, Asura totally works for me.
2. Nothing different, current username = fine (I've used it since forever).
3. Nope. Happy to be in ye olde group.
4. Generally content is rad. Feel free to make me as cheery as wanted. :D
5. Some version of the SOLDIER logo somewhere &#8211; EDIT and the :neo: shades (thanks, Tets)!
