Clawtooth Aker — Post 6 Gremlin
by Alphaville Herald on 09/05/11 at 11:14 am
[Clawtooth Aker contacted me a few weeks ago to tell me about Magdalenamarie Cooperstone, who was featured as a Post 6 Grrrrl, and at the shoot, I noticed that Clawtooth's avatar is fantastic and original. Plus, we've never featured a Gremlin. It's a great honor to introduce the first ever Post 6 Gremlin, and my newest Post 6 Talent Scout, Clawtooth Aker ~Timothy Morpork]
I came to Second Life in 2007, and pretty much immediately picked up my gremlin avatar. There’s a long history behind why I am a gremlin, having to do with the mythology behind gremlins and their tie in with steam punk and fantasy role play, but I will not monopolize my story with that. The conclusion to that take is that I’m a gremlin, and I intend to remain that way. I got into Secondlife through friends who introduced me, and I jumped right into role play and building.
I build anything, really. It’s just a way for me to release creativity outside of rp. I also do sim design, terraforming, landscaping, etc. Beyond that I have been a dancer (who hasn’t?) a club owner, a father, family member, SL Mafia member, lover, fighter, blah blah blah. Pretty much all around trouble. I’ve walked around as a human, a neko, a dragon, lycan, vampire, so on and so forth, but I always make full circle back to my gremlin. It just feels most comfortable.
I enjoy doing sim designs, it really takes all my creative juices to create from nothing and form wonders from thin air.
My Favorite styles are Steam punk, medieval/fantasy, post-apocalyptic, and urban grunge. I get inspired by these styles, and usually there isn’t a “too far” with them. You can go, go, go and it rarely seems overdone, if it’s done right. When it IS done right, the look just goes together, without being too primmy, too laggy, or too much.
My dreams are to own my own sim, for residential and role play purposes. I want to create a place for people to come to where they can create their own characters like I have created Clawtooth’s. I want to be able to give something back to the communities and individuals who have given so much to me, and helped me along from the start.
In closing, I feel perfectly within my right to have the stereotypical closing where i say thanks to all those who have stuck with me and helped me along the way. First to my Real Life Family, who has supported me through putting up with all my “invisible friends”. They’re all real people somewhere, right? Second to my Second Life Family, who’s creativity and unlimited ridiculousness continues to inspire me today. And last, to all the people who have supported me, through helping hands, helpful words, or helpful linden, along the way. You have all enabled me, how do you sleep at night?

It effectively died in 2010.
Some say 2009.
All but a few remnant flees converge here now.

Okay, as a qualified aeronauticational engineer, I’d just like to point out that the wing surface to penis ratio is simply unfeasible.
It’ll never fly Mrs Miggins! Not with a weewee of that magnitude!
(Note – Claims of being an aeronautical engineer were greatly exaggerated in the above post although I did briefly take pretending to fly lessons).

@Senban,
Exceptions are made to the wing surface to penis ratio for cartoon characters. Rocky the Flying Squirrel, for example, was hung like a horse and had no wings at all.
Inversely and interestingly, Hawkman, of cartoon Justice League and also our own SL JLU, was hung like a cat despite the enormous wings while his mate Hawkgirl was made up almost entirely of penis.

I would just like to say that I have only sympathy for female gremlins.
maybe this is why Clawtooth is one of a kind?

That boy gots him a big one.
@Persephone, I done though it were Boris who were hung like a hoss. That would explain why that hot hot hottie from Hotgrad, Natasha, done hung wif that lil’ ol’ Commie runt.

Wow, I really like the first and second picture. The third is a bit “Whoa!” but hey, to each his own.

Observe the size difference between Boris and Natasha; he barely comes up to her navel and has a flat head. Allegedly among tall women a man like Boris is said to give “fast table service”. This explains Natasha’s constant grin.
There are times the Emperor wishes he was short.

@Emperor,
“fast table service” am a revelashun to me. I wish I were a short feller, too.
You done teached me sum’fin I never thinked my head on when watchin’ them Bullwanker an’ Rocky car-toons.
I swear I learns new stuff at the Herald every dang day: this am a education site, I reckons. Next thing you knows, we’ll figger out why they done called that dumb police feller “Dudley Do-Right.”
I reckon all the gals on that show got them sum service.

There was reason Neil was always so breathless in the Dudley Do-Right show, just saying.
