	Voievoda Magnificent Moonbeam Finding a good art shop is a bit tense. Since I'm kinda window-shopping for art, despite having only 100k on me. Have you tried a request thread? Thought about it, but chose not to mainly because I get rather shy about posting and to remember to follow that forum's rules when making a request thread. Plus, if I did so, I wanted to have like 2 mil + in gold beforehand. I even went off the deepend when I thought of questing 10 mill in gold for an artist to draw my requests. redface That and I haven't made a topic in a year since Love Charm II art thread.

And suddenly horribly guilty because I've never even looked at that forums rules redface You're shy at post? B-but you post more than me ;;. I actually have had very few (almost none) come in with art that is 1mill+. Most have been 100k or RL. I can't believe that was two years ago. Time flies. It easier to make threads outside the GCD.

I lurk in the GCD majority of the time, but the posts I make are usually in other sides of the forums like a friend's quest thread and whatnot. Yeah, it's better for me to read the art shop/request's rules before starting anything. I do have art within that range. My latest one was from a friend after autobuying her art auction once to help her get her mini angel wings. This one was what I was talking about.

	The Undead Suitor wow the new tomb raider is looking worse and worse Quote: Interviewer: Was it difficult to develop for a female character? Rosenburg: "When people play Lara, they don't really project themselves into the character, they're more like 'I want to protect her.' There's this sort of dynamic of 'I'm going to this adventure with her and trying to protect her.' She's definitely the hero but- you're kind of like her helper. When you see her have to face these challenges, you start to root for her in a way that you might not root for a male character." "She literally goes from zero to hero... we're sort of building her up and just when she gets confident, we break her down again. In the new Tomb Raider, Lara Croft will suffer. Her best friend will be kidnapped. She'll get taken prisoner by island scavengers. And then, those scavengers will try to rape her. She is literally turned into a cornered animal. It's a huge step in her evolution: she's forced to either fight back or die." Wow. Seems like they don't even really consider female players. And it's pretty sad how common it is for male writers to use rape as a plot device. "We want to make a strong female character, but she has to be vulnerable or guys will be intimidated." "I know! Let's threaten her with rape!" "Brilliant!" :/

	For the humor in it, I just reported half the crew I was in because they were saying their ages were 11 and 12. XD

	Magnificent Moonbeam I hear ya about the art deal. I've gotten lucky on some pieces, but it's been real hit and miss for me. emo Course when you don't want anime style art everything is suddenly WTF in search. I'm tempted to start up my own request thread. One day, when I actually have spare gold to stockpile.

I guess it's more in my case my fear of getting scammed by an artist who'd take my money and run without drawing me anything. sweatdrop That and how expensive it is.

	Voievoda: I made a mistake in my wording. I meant I haven't posted a topic in a year since Love charm II (the RIG art thread I made last year...) I never made a topic since then.
