Goooooooooooooooooood... beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer *throws beer at face and hopes some goes down the right hole*
Vanguard aren't made for drinking out of a glass. He'll end up wearing more of it than he drinks. But he's happy and so am I.
psychotropic did an absolutely wonderful job of this... just look at that colouring - and that definition. Yeah baby, go sit on his lap and he'll gurgle sweet, drunken nothings into your quivering ear-hole... and baptize you in ale.

Psychotropic chose the colouring I think based roughly on that other recent commission from 343GuiltySpark... although it also vaguely resembles the colouring of a typical doberman. Doberman dogs kick ass. Well, bite ass. I think Ms. Psychotropic thought you were referring to her as the artist rather than the character with regard to the colouring, guessing you meant the Vanguard.
Hidden conveniently out of view are the other three empty pitchers... and the rivers of stale beer dripping down off the bottom of his skinsuit...
...and the bouncers heading his way to throw his unruly ass out the door for harrassing the waitress, the janitor and a coat-rack...

Heh, this isn't canon, really - the way I designed their physiology they aren't affected by alcohol in any intoxicating way - it is merely a very low grade poison, easily coped with in small amounts. Larger amounts would induce vomiting and severe indigestion. And yes, when they *do* drink they use a type of sipper cup, not tooooo unlike something used by infant humans
It is at this point that we introduce our visiting vanguard friends to a little something we like to call "The beer Funnel".
"So, I stick this cylindrical tube-like apparatus in my mouth?"
"Yes."
"And I just sit back and suckle on it until a liquid comes out of it at a heavy pace?"
"Uh-huh"
"Whereupon I suck and swallow it down, and it makes me feel happy for reasons I can't explain?"
"You got it."
"Huh. Interesting. We have something similar on our planet, only we call it... well, you humans can't really pronounce it, but sufficed to say, you also need to be an adult before they let you try it out."

So... tell me, Mr. Canadian - is it a "tradition" there that on your 21st birthday you have to drink a yard-glass full of beer? Or is this "beer funnel" the done thing? In NZ there is a so-called tradition where you drink a yard-glass, most people end up being horribly sick. Didn't do that on mine... you don't want to know what I did on mine
Is that last sentence there some sort of filthy, dirty, completely irresponsibly posted innuendo?
...if so, I approve.

He's probably lonely. You should never drink alone... But he looks happy enough anyway. Maybe some mysterious stranger just bought him a round
Last time I drank alone I ended up dancing around the flat, naked, to very loud 80's pop music and chatting drunkenly to people on MSN. It was not a good look.

Have a glass... of BEEEEEEES!
Yes, it would be an interesting drink, with a bit of a sting to it. Okay, so that was lame.
"Sorry Sir, we're all out of bees. You'll have to drink HORNETS!"
"Hrr, by the love of the revered ancestors, make the hurting desist immediately!"
This isn't a canon Vanguard situation - they would not generally drink anything alcoholic because it has the effect of being a very low-grade, almost harmless poison. They would throw up if ingesting too much and it would give them severe indigestion. In other words, bad hang-over without any of the pleasant buzz beforehand.

Hm, I wonder how vanguard do with bottles? Granted, with their sizes, it isn't likely that such tiny containers could hold a satisfactory amount of alcohol for them to guzzle...but eh, better for the breweries, right?
Now, honestly, that picture is something I can't say that I don't agree with - to even more honest, the fact that I thought this guy was naked until I read somewhere about a skin suit is something else I don't particularly find against my interests. What I DO find interesting, however, is that Vanguard was able to get drunk. Now, no offense to you Lincard, but how likely is it that a being from across the stars would have the same reaction to a brew of plants, water, and chemicals as humans do? Even creatures on earth have varied reactions to the stuff - while a dog gets tipsy, if you pour alcohol on the back of a scorpion, they'll actually sting themselves to death.
Again, just saying that it's a very wild chance for an alien to have the same capability to becoming drunk as humans, especially since there're so many other horrible reactions that could happen. Boils appearing out of nowhere due to allergy; lack of breath due to the throat absorbing liquid and closing itself tight; unbridled lust of various kinds all merged into one!
...sorry, I think I went insulting in this comment....didn't mean to, but I think I did...sorry man.

I had to laugh - you do not need to worry about offending me in the slightest, my friend In the Vanguard universe, they drink out of containers that are like over-sized baby sipper cups as they don't have lips so trying to drink out of a regular cup or mug would get messy - hence the "throwing it at his face" comment And yeah, the one in this pic is wearing some sort of padded skin-suit in a brownish colour indicating he is from the engineering caste.
As it happens, this picture is just a generic, amusing pic. Not all of the commissions of the Vanguard I get are strictly (literally?) "by the books". As I mentioned to a couple of other people further above: "Heh, this isn't canon, really - the way I designed their physiology they aren't affected by alcohol in any intoxicating way - it is merely a very low grade poison, easily coped with in small amounts. Larger amounts would induce vomiting and severe indigestion." Basically instant hang-over without any of the pleasant, intermediate steps that humans get.
Have to say it is actually kinda neat that you thought about it a bit and realized this pic (were it taken "literally") just would not make sound, biological sense for alien physiology. Definitely a more thoughtful comment than most - so thank you

Heh, consider the laugh returned with that witty "by the books" comment, Lincard. I may have mentioned this before, but wordplay is one of my pet practices (think I mis-made that, but whatever), and keeping in with the fact that your story pieces are accompanied by a snippit...sorry, I shouldn't explain the joke in totality, should I? *chuckles* Oh, and about the politeness, well, that's something that I'm working on, and something that I've been doing since...well, ever since I really went onto the net. I don't like making insults to people...mostly.
Heh, I kind of guessed that what you had here wasn't exactly a scene from the book (from the lack of a story blurb), but I hadn't actually thought that it would be just a non-canon scene altogether. It's...actually kinda nice to see...though embarrassing on my part not to realize sooner. Still, better late than never, right?
You know, the fact that aliens are almost always imagined by us humans as humanoid is probably one of the few things I had to complain about District 9. Off topic, I know, but it's related to the mention of aliens having human tastes. Now, just to be clear, I can see the logic behind the "Prawns" possibly having a taste for cat food, or raw cow, or anything like that, because, well, they're alien! Who knows what they naturally eat on their home planet? Who knows what similarities there might be in our food to theirs? It's just that most mediums make out aliens as being derived from humans, and not simply showing a few similarities.
Not that I don't see the logic in that, again, in order to get the audience to feel for the creature and to not disregard it, but...well, come on! There's humanoid, and ripped-off-from-your-next-door-neighbor!
...and again, I think I diverged from the earlier subject matter...eh, who cares? Rambling's good for the soul.

Appropos of nothing specific but it is good to see you back again. You went silent for a long time there - went looking on your account the other day and it appeared there was little or no activity for quite a while. Everything been okay with you?
To be fair I have also given the Vanguard quite a few human or humanoid attributes in order to make them "accessible" to a larger reading audience. They still have some alien ways of looking at things, their biology, etc etc but in order to take the story-lines where I needed them to there were some corners I had to cut. Still, it seems that most people have forgiven me this. Given that most animal life on Earth has evolved from common ancestors it does make sense that any alien life would *probably* have gone along similar routes, even if the form is somewhat different. There might be considerable physiological differences as well but still I believe that most organic life would still be easily recognisable as life should we ever stumble across it in space.
And insult away - on the internet it is easy to hide behind the relative anonymity of an alias and an avatar and actually speak your mind. I think the net has done wonderful things for people's overall honesty, even if it sometimes leads to hurt feelings.

Aroo? I did...well, actually, yeah, I guess I did. I guess I was a bit intimidated there, from the long cut off that happened the last time we talk (my fault, I'll admit) and I just, never, really...got back into it. Sorry about that, honestly; the desire to save face often ruins us further, does it not?
And I'm surprised that you haven't seen much going on in my account; I've actually got stuff in my gallery to view now, believe it or not, not to mention stuff that looks like my fursonna. It's a sequence of events that is, while simple, something I'd have never predicted for myself. o.=.o Overall, things aren't that bad for me...but as I say, life comes first, and it's playing havoc with much of my writing.
And I sort of noticed that you too did this, but I laud you for what differences you made. Multiple eyes that are obviously different from our own; skulls that are, again, differently shaped while still being expressive; a stature that, while somewhat similar to ours, is not too familiar; and an extra set of limbs too, atop a base set (or below, however you want to look at it). Anatomy aside, their culture is too something that is both familiar and foreign as well.
Sadly, if it's one thing that I've noticed, it's that alien cultures are just as cliched in today's fiction as their appearances are. Bio technology, or primitivity, are just as popular as the beings all having chairs, metal ships, and thrust engines at the back of their ships; lasers and electric weapons in general are, again, a must for them, and well there's a lot to be said for the stupidly thin language barriers!
But I digress, again, because this isn't the conversation point...or is it? I find it hard to tell in these comment boxes, when everything's so long you need to scroll up and down to tell what you've been writing for the past few minutes.
And despite that anonymity, Lincard, I still have the strange compulsion to actually be, dare I say it, halfway civilized on the net. Sure, I say things that would offend only a niche amount of people, but many of them are things I wouldn't say in public either, if only for how society would treat me for it. Insults just happen to be things I don't throw around here. :-/

*laughs* I've always liked that statement...
I've always reckoned that one of the best things for people is that they should get drunk, have raucous sex followed by a good nights sleep. I would imagine that if more people did that the world would be a much better place y'know...
