Depends on which state/location but this is true. Since we do our fair share of hunting, the hunting permit could also be coming up if not already legal in some areas.

There's always youth season (usually the week before and after regular).

Is that actually ironic? Or just a thing.

MMO term for a tank.

EDIT: A tank being someone who takes damage for others and not an actual tank.

More accurately, a 'meatshield' is someone who Tanks despite not being properly classed or equipped for it and, thus, is expected to die in the process. Any RPG'er or MMO-player knows what I mean, the Damage, Healing or Indirect types who insist on drawing Aggro no matter what anyone else tells them...

A much better explanation, thank you! :lol:

A quick question, what would you do in the event of a tie?

I'm a big fan of the Eldredge knot if its a posh function like a wedding or or charity function, but I am quite partial to the Half Windsor for day to day civil shenanigans.

So, a while ago, I drew and inked my concept ideas for my character, Nightwing (raven/panther fuzor). Well, I wanted to try my hand at digitally coloring, since it's something I hadn't tried yet...

I don't own a tablet, but I bought a month of Photoshop to try it out. It took a bit to get used to, and all of the remodeling/lineart cleaning took ages with a mouse, but I think she looks a lot cleaner now :lol:

A lot being an understatement... If anyone knows more about Photoshop, I may have some questions for you? I kept accidentally hitting shortcuts that confused me to no end :lol:

I see a few flaws with it but nothing that wouldn't take days for a hardly noticeable return.

Wanted to share it and hope you like her.

I like the drawing but know nothing of photoshop. The raven/panther idea is really neat.

Thank you, Sumo. I just realized it shows up a bit lighter/clearer on my DV page for some reason (same on my computer) :lol:

but it served its purpose. I'm glad you liked it!

As much as I enjoyed this project, I may wait until I can afford a tablet before I color more of them :BOOM:

EDIT: figured it out. It looks a lot more clear when you enlarge it a little bit. Not sure if it's the way I saved it or why :lol:

edit: For anyone interested in seeing a larger/more clear/detailed version, you can find it here.

Yeah, same, because the ones we have now seem to be nothing but a bunch of cowards.
