Name or Nickname: Avino
Age: 34
How long you've been on Gaia: Since 2004, even though this account is from a later date.
Favorite Dress up item(s): Le Belle's Discordant Smile, Cute Little Nose plus any blush (ex: Sleepy blush) is the staple to all of my favorite avatar faces.
What inspires your avatars?: Other people's avatars! Seriously, everyone is so talented and whenever I see an awesomely done avatar, I just want to play around and make one just as good! Also, cute things and pretty colors inspire me too hehe~
What you hope to get out of the guild: To be able to post more in general, make friends and to learn to make even better/more amazing avatars.
A little bit about yourself (can be anything, as short/long as you like!): I'm currently living with my boyfriend, after moving back to my childhood home to be with him. Although he's not apart of this guild, he is on Gaia. I never really amounted to anything, so I'm still working in retail. Do yourself a favor: Don't hesistate. Don't be indecisive. It might just stifle your whole life. I love music, drawing and RPing! I also love anime/manga, memes and just having a good time.

I also forgot and haven’t really posted yet, better late than never! gaia_duck
Name or Nickname: Jessy
Age: late twenties .__.
How long you've been on Gaia: between end of 2003 to 2004 on my first account. Took a couple long hiatuses between then and now.
Favorite Dress up item(s): the wonderland body mod ( I adore the chibi look without doing paw items emotion_bigheart ) also the classic shoujo memories filter.
What inspires your avatars?: A lot has to do with finding new items that makes me want to build a avatar around.
What you hope to get out of the guild: friendship, and seeing new ways to utilize items into outfits.
A little bit about yourself (can be anything, as short/long as you like!): Not much! I’ve always been a quiet person and have always enjoyed making avatars on this site, even back in the early 2000’s and the grass skirt with everything. I work for a movie theatre business and it keeps me busy a lot as I manage a couple locations and do technical work. But I’ve always loved movies and grew up going to the theater weekly.

Hello! I'm looking forward to talking to people here!
Name or Nickname: Katolin, Kat
Age: 34
How long you've been on Gaia: Since February 2008
Favorite Dress up item(s): Oh goodness, hard to choose. For halfatars, We Thirst arm cutters, Stage Makeup (Indecision), Like Daisies eye replacer
What inspires your avatars?: My evolving item challenge. Trying out poses I've never used pushes me out of my comfort zone and makes me try different things. Also, I just really like making halfatars.
What you hope to get out of the guild: To share the joy of the niche yet rewarding art form that is avatar creation, and be able to talk to other creative and passionate people.
A little bit about yourself (can be anything, as short/long as you like!): I'm the office manager at a veterinary clinic, and I have two cats that I'll talk about whenever given the excuse. I like tabletop roleplays, fountain pens, and nail art. I used to draw more often, but have gotten out of practice.

I came back for the same reason~! I really never did much else on here - none of the games or anything - I've only ever cared about making little characters! And now there's just so many items+colors to play with, so I'm addicted again. rolleyes Ohmigosh that must be so nice to work with something you've loved since you were a kid~! I'm sure it still has its dull days, like any job, but do you enjoy/does it give you lots of warm nostalgia? Thanks for joining~! There definitely is a nice community around here. Its definitely the most active guild/non-chatterbox forum I've been in in a while... oooh~~~ you dont see halfatars a lot. Do you make a lot of them?

Name or Nickname: "Nody", since it's a shortened part of my username works.
Age: 20
How long you've been on Gaia: Less than a month, but a couple friends have been showing me Gaia for years, I only recently caved and joined. Still haven't added them though.
Favorite Dress up item(s): I'm still finding items to like, but I like Sleepy Stare a lot so far.
What inspires your avatars?: Well, I like to dress up my avatar in some of the ways that I was never able to IRL (goth, sexy, with lots of reds and purples and things like that, as well as more blonde options since IRL I'm not blonde, etc). Pretty and cool stuff, I suppose.
What you hope to get out of the guild: I hope to learn more about avatar making, and about Gaia as well. And to find people with similar interests, and learn about awesome items, and maybe be able to make better avatars.
A little bit about yourself (can be anything, as short/long as you like!):
I dress mostly in hand me down and cutesy stuff IRL. Think like, pinks, whites, blues, and covering most of my skin. I like fashion, but I don't have that kind of money, so I still wear mostly hand me down and thrifted things based on how I've always dressed. Maybe someday I'll change it up.

Name or Nickname: You can call me Kit, but if you can't remember my name then just Monster is fine.
Age: 30
How long you've been on Gaia: On and off since I was 14. I lost my very first account, but this is the one I've had ever since I rejoined the second time. I left for a while, but it pulled me back.
Favorite Dress up item(s): The Cozy Mori and Snug Mori eyes are hands down my favourite. If I don't know what eyes to use? I default to those.
What inspires your avatars?: I pull a lot from my JPRG playing routes, as well as from my monstersona. Maybe at some point, I'll save up and commission a nice signature of it.
What you hope to get out of the guild: I just want to have more fun with contests and themes! The runway is fun, but recently the themes haven't been to my liking.
A little bit about yourself (can be anything, as short/long as you like!): If you catch me calling myself a cryptid or a monster or saying anything like "I live in your closet and come out at night to eat your vegetable scraps" that is 1000% an odd coping mechanism I've developed over the years. If I call myself a monster then everyone else can't make fun of me for being weird.
Also, I'm legit married irl to my gaia husband. We actually met on here and were friends for two years before we found out we lived nearby and met up. We've been together nearly twelve years now.

I hope you have some fun with some contests on here. There are a few monthly ones in the contests subforum and I run weekly contests in the main forum (it is a sticky). If you have any contest suggestions let me know. Oh man I met my hubby here on Gaia too! Although he had to immigrate to the US from the UK. It is so nice to see others who are the same. We have been married for 10 years now.

Monster_Spouse This November 2nd is our 6th anniversary. We dated for a good long while. Ooh that is coming up soon! We dated long distance for a while too...somewhere close to 7 years. We were waiting until I finished college and then I went another 2 years to grad school. Then we had to wait for all the immigration paperwork and my husband wanted to spend his last Christmas with his family. Do you do anything special for your anniversary?
