• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

I've been missing a lot lately, and just saw these. I like Derrick, Bernard and...is that Dirk flipping the coin ?

However, I don't like Kelthi. Even with the midriff, she looks more like a guy. Maybe round out her nose and face a skosh. Narrowing her shoulders somewhat could also help.

I feel the composition is also a bit off. I know the battleaxe is on her back. However, the collar of her vest (or is it a scabbard?) is in line with the axe handle. It creates the illusion that her axe is strapped to her chest. Consider moving the collar/scabbard to the other side so it's perpendicular to the axe handle, instead.

I didn't recognise that one as a girl at all.
