So, only about 7 pages have passed in THIS thread since the 2 year anniversary? Well, whatever. The forum's still "alive" in this zombie-like state. It'll stay alive as long as we keep it alive, by kicking and struggling if we have to.
The only part about this forum that even seems alive is the RP. And since I'm too lazy to even get into the RP, I feel it's my duty to atleast contribute somehow. So...
I'll be making another anniversary cast picture, like I did 7 pages ago.
But completely drawn, not sprited.
I've already started. The only person who's completely drawn, inked, and colored is myself ( ) as seen below:

(EDIT: Pixel is my more common username nowadays, rather than Kyle20 or SmartSpriter.)
The following people are already finished sketches in my sketchbook, or already started sketches in the progress:
-Nam (who came out pretty awesome, if I may say so)
-Gen (who came out pretty bad...My fault, not your's. I'll probably just redo it completely. I tried a complicated sitting pose. Not a good idea on my part.)
-Mage
-Cutter
-Megaman (it's technically a Megaman forum, so I guess he's the character who brought it all together, right?)
As long as you are/were an active member, and you have a character for me to draw, you will be drawn (or, atleast, I hope to promise that.) That includes Christi, Silos, Rob, and Ryan/General Roshambo, despite the fact they left long ago and most likely won't come back to even see the picture.
This may seem like a somewhat strange thing to try at this point in the forum's lifeline, but I don't really care. A) It's the anniversary, B) It's really good practice for drawing, knowing the very different styles our characters have, and C) This is more or less a forum of former spriters who stopped using the limited art form of sprites and went on to drawing. That's myself included. I want something of quality to prove that I can beat something I made with sprites (the 2nd year cast picture) with something I've drawn (this 3rd year cast picture.) That's a good way to prove that discarding spriting actually accomplished something. I do want a career in art, after all.
In the extremely possible (you guys know the internet) chance that I give up or become too lazy to actually finish the complete cast picture, I'm going to be uploading each character one by one in solo pictures as I finish them anyway. I remember how the Christmas picture went, I never actually finished drawing everyone, or coloring anyone. So, this way, atleast you guys will be able to see everything I got done.
