April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

PrivilegedI see what happened. Forge is aliased to forge_(artist), whom is DNP. There is a forge in this image, which was tagged and aliased.

MemberOooooooooooooooh.
Thanks for clearing that up.
...that alias honestly doesn't seem like the best idea, considering recent events :/

MemberI'm willing to be this is still a TSAP piece. Kialra commissioned him quiet a bit to do stuff in Kialra's "Earthshakers" world.

Memberuh... no
we produced shit together at one point, this is his drawing

MemberLooks awesome. Did you do any of this? (I.E., 'his drawing my colors'?) Or is it entirely his work?
I really like what I've seen of the Earthshakers setting. I woke up in the middle of the night after discovering and bingeing on it and wrote 90% of an ES caravan story before waking up enough to coherently think 'wait a sec, shoulda asked permission first.' Inspiration promptly got cold feet. Weh.
Tsap
MemberNot at all
the color, the drawing, everything is by himself.
