I would like a drawing of my character leaning on a large wrench as though it were a staff.

He has been drawn here: http://art.by.virmir.com/art/halloween_sketch-a-thon_2012%2C_part_6 as number 26. Please use the same outfit, but without the helmet and goggles.

The wrench type to be leaned on.

Dmitriy is a swift fox, average in appearance with fur colored like this picture, standing 2'6" tall.

Words are not my strong point today, so I hope I explained everything well enough for you. Feel free to ask for clarification.

I put this on my "To Do List" and promptly lost the list, but hey, I remembered now!

I enjoyed the story, and would really like to see what happens next. As Virmir said, there were a few typos, but other than that it was pretty well done. It does have a video game intro feel to it, or maybe a similar movie scene, but that's not a bad thing in the slightest. As I said, I would love to see the story continued, I think you have something interesting here.

I found it pretty funny when  I finished writing it, as I originally just intended to make a simple description of appearance and a bit of personality. Then it just sort of started running off on it's own, went and achieved critical mass, and I ended up with a new character.

It truly is better late than never. A missed opportunity is a horrible thing. As for time, I really prefer that it continue in its normal course. I'm not a big fan of paradoxes and the like, they can get confusing.

And as of chiclet keyboards - do you include the island keyboards common to many new laptops in this? Because I find those way more comfortable to use than traditional ones...

You are correct. I've heard them referred to as such somewhere, thought I can't be sure of the source. I would say that it's probably not that type of keyboard in general that I'm not a fan of. The one that I have for my tablet probably suffers most from the software, as it'll miss keystrokes and the backspace takes two taps to actually start working. That said, I do still prefer a normal keyboard myself.

While you can't really beat Gil's hat, this is certainly a very nice hat.

I am pretty bad with titles, so let us move on to the matter at hand, shall we?

Just today, I was looking at my profile page on these forums. Not sure what information I was looking for, but what I found was that I have been a member of this forum since 10/30/2011. I still remember when I registered, with the full intention of becoming a regular poster and member of the community. Well, it only took me the better part of a year, but hey, here I am now. And my goodness, how time flies sometimes.

Some of you have encountered me in the CF Chat, and I really enjoyed my time chatting with you. I look forward to joining you more often in the future. So, to simplify things for myself and hopefully everyone else, I'll just throw together a bit of an introduction to myself. I'll start with Me, as a person, then move to Dmitriy, my character. It won't be really in depth, but at least give you an idea of who I am and where I come from.

 Oh boy, where to start. I'll avoid giving you my life story, wouldn't want to bore you to death. So lets start here: I am 24 years old, grew up in southern Illinois, then joined the Air Force. I currently live in Delaware, two guesses as to where. I do aircraft maintenance as my job, and my hobbies are mainly video games and cars. I try to be a good person, I am horribly forgetful at times, and wield sarcasm like a hammer. I love reading more than watching TV and movies, and really enjoy the writing subforum here. Anyway, enough about boring old regular me, lets talk about the fuzzy me!

Dmitriy is a Swift Fox, about 2'6'' (76.2cm) tall. Very much average in appearance for one of his species, but he prefers it that way. Always tries to be quick with a joke, enjoys bad puns more than a normal person should. He has a very sharp mind, but doesn't go around making that obvious. Enthusiastic about helping others, he'll gladly go to nearly any legnth for his friends and occasionally even complete strangers. He has a tendency to call nearly anyone he meets a friend, and it takes quite a feat to make him dislike someone. Growing up he held an interest in things of the mechanical sort, dissasembling things simply to find out how they work and occasionally even reassembling them properly. His parents gladly supported his tinkering, encouraging him to take it further. Every opportunity to grow his skills, he'll take. The end result of this is that Dmitriy is more than simply mechanically inclined. He also is quite passionate about nearly anything that flies; be it an airship, airplane, or spacecraft of any sort.

I hope I was able to give you a good look into just who this Dmitriy Fox person is. It's really not as simple as I originally thought it would be. When I first started this post, I was thinking it would simply be a couple minutes of description and bam, done. Here I am an hour later, trying not to build myself a fortress of text as I suddenly found myself building an increasingly interesting
 character. On a completely unrelated note, I'm not a huge fan of chiclet keyboards. Next time, I'm typing this on a real laptop, not my silly tablet.

Feel free to ask questions and discuss, and critique if you want. Also, let me know if I am really bad at grammar. I feel like I abuse commas really hard.

TL;DR: I make my own topic, and I still manage to go off topic. That takes some skills. {:P

I must say, these are great. But my favorite so far would have to be the killer waffles.

Just a fox dressed as a WW2 pilot. No specific pose, maybe trick-or-treating, more details provided with the links below.

My character:
No references exist, so you get a simple description. A swift fox, no special markings. Wow, maybe that was too simple? Let me know if you need more.

Wearing this jacket:

These goggles:

Specifically the style of the top or bottom pair, worn on top of the head.

The helmet would be completely optional, I really don't care if you draw it or not. Not required!

With the helmet and goggles together, it would look something like this:

Above picture is also a pretty good example of how the goggles should be worn either way.

If all this is too much, just draw him as a classic bed-sheet with two holes for the eyes ghost. I would find that funny enough to not be disappointing. {:P

Any specific reason why? Is it your area code?

I can tell you why I'd remember it. Because it's also a pretty sweet Porsche. Specifically, the 996 Turbo.

Clearly, this is the best plan. Possibly the best plan ever.

Uhh, Dimitriy? I mean like build the whole gun. Start with the bone bare upper and lower receivers, add the trigger, safety switch, and all the other things associated. It's pretty easy to do, and i think costs less overall. But I think you were thinking of the fieldstripping, which is delightfully easy.

You are, of course, correct. It would be quite interesting to build the whole thing, and I'll probably look into it. I enjoy that sort of thing, more fun than simply attaching part a to part b and bam, you're done.

Well that's a... fresh take on it. I know I wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of that gun.  {;)

Indeed, I have been considering an AR. The modularity is nice, and I'd already be fairly familiar with it. And by that I mean at one point I probably could have built one blindfolded. I certainly could do it in under a minute, but that was just about three years ago, so I'm a bit out of practice.  {:P

My own experience with guns is somewhat limited, having only been to a range twice. The first time I fired the M16A2, which I did quite well with. Qualified expert, even. The second time, which was more recently, I got to use the M4. I didn't qualify quite as well with the M4, but it was fun getting to use a red dot sight and the three-round burst setting.

I've been considering purchasing myself a rifle, but I'm not really sure what I'd want to get at this point. Not to mention I have other things to spend my money on at the moment, so I keep putting it off.

This can only end well.

Also, I'm liking the comic so far.
