Am I the only snake in HAF?  I suppose it's appropriate, seeing that the Caduceus that Hermes carries is a staff entwined by two snakes.



Anyway, I crave some serpentine company.

OK, I don't want to be mean, but I believe that pose is anatomically impossible. Hips moving forward, chest completely to the front, head turned...what is that...180. degrees?

The Egyptians made the same mistake.


I learned it in art class. The teacher did a demonstration, it's not possible.

Anyways,
...Sorry, back to snakes...

Yes, I see what you mean, but I guess the artist sacrificed realism to make it more expressive. It's not my painting, but I did create my avatar myself.

Yes, they "attempted" expressive, but...Um...in a twisted sort of way...Ha! Twisted, get it? 

You took this picture?

I get it - I am an expert in twisted.

The avatar isn't a photo. I created the pose in Poser Pro first by combining the foot and wings from different sources, then exported it as an image. The sandal was drawn in using Photoshop.

Very nice.
Would you like to show us more stuff that you've created? 

[Dave]

Sorry, Hermes, but "Poser Pro" just creased me! Nuances and conotations . . .

[hermes2015]

Thank you, you are so nice. Yes, I will show more stuff I've done. Mainly ceramics and sculptures. Also some paintings, but I am a terrible painter.

What do you mean, Dave? Have you played with Poser?

Dave, I am also a deer!
The description actually fits me quite well!

What it means to be a Deer:
When you have the deer as spirit animal, you are highly sensitive and have a strong intuition. By affinity with this animal, you have the power to deal with challenges with grace. You master the art of being both determined and gentle in your approach.

The deer totem wisdom imparts those with a special connection with this animal with the ability to be vigilant, move quickly, and trust their instincts to get out the trickiest situations. 

The meanings associated with the deer combine both soft, gentle qualities with strength and determination:
Gentleness
Ability to move through life and obstacles with grace
Being in touch with inner child, innocence
Being sensitive and intuitive
Vigilance, ability to change directions quickly
Magical ability to regenerate, being in touch with life's mysteries

This is a bit like fortune telling and astrology - generalisations that fit, maybe "smear" is better, across a spectrum!

I could tick boxes from both the deer and bear descriptions regarding how I want to appear to others. Whether or not I actually have all those attributes and qualities is another matter, one that I will have to leave to those others to judge 

[Dragonia]

Yeah, it is like reading one's daily horoscope... I'm sure elements of all the "Spirits" would fit all of us.
But I love the different creatures that we, very loosely, represent.
And Hermes, I adore snakes. All reptiles, really. But especially snakes.

In that case, can I interest you in an apple?

[Biggus Dickus]

This test is fixed or something, because my spirit animal is apparently a fucking kat! 

That is just fucking wrong...


Plus, they don't even have monkeys or gorillas listed as one of the animals...


I hate kats!
