With March Mayhem soon coming to a close for the site TellTale masterrace, I had thought another celebration might be in order for the community, specifically for celebrating the work of staff members Grey Carter and Cory Rydell.

With many long term staff members and projects coming to a close recently and many new staff either starting to work here or quickly approaching their work being here, I felt it was an appropriate time as any to give Grey and Cory some much needed appreciation. On Monday May 18th of this year, their first issue of Critical Miss will be 5 years old. They are now also working on their very own IP of Erin Dies Alone, which can not only be found on this site, but Grey and Cory's very own site here.

How will we celebrate this month?

Sort of in a similar fashion to the months of October, December, and March, by having our avatars match the circumstance. If you're new or haven't seen anything like this before, during specific months (March, October, December), the lovely artists of the The Avatar Store and any other freelance people who want to help out volunteer to edit fellow escapists' avatars! Instead of the theme being of pumpkins, Santa hats, or MM logos, they'll instead be images of Erin[footnote]Or perhaps Erins(plural) given how they seem to be two distinct characters[/footnote] and other characters from the Critical Miss and Erin Dies Alone at the request of users.

Here are the guys who will hopefully fill out any avatar requests you may have (Reminder to be as specific as possible):

[user]TizzytheTormentor[/user], [user]staika[/user], [user]Exius Xavarus[/user], [user]Drummodino[/user], [user]Caramel Frappe[/user], [user]Aerosteam[/user]

We also have an assortment of sample avatar templates[footnote]standard non publcub size. Users are also free to find or use their own.[/footnote]

None so far



Last Update to OP: 17th April, 2015 5:41 PM PDT




Also, to coincide with the avatar change with this month, I've created a usergroup, Erin Dies With Us, as a fan club chat for Grey and Cory and their work in a similar vein as Yahtzee's and Gavin/MoS's usergroups.

I unfortunately wasn't the one to come up with the name or made the group's awesome emblem, because that honor belongs to user [user]Caramel Frappe[/user] and the awesome work he's done. You rock man. So with all that out of the way-







[HEADING=1]Let the month of Erin commence![/HEADING]​

If [user]Aerosteam[/user] is so inclined, I would like him to rig up a Redlin avatar using this image. [http://i47.tinypic.com/2w3s1h3.jpg]

Sized appropriately for the face and the quote naturally. ;)

Aw shit! Would this last all the way up to May 18th because that sounds pretty dope as fuck!

But seriously, <link=http://oi57.tinypic.com/24zkdar.jpg>I have an avatar in mind... but, I'll probably cut it a bit before I make it my avatar and shit... Other than that, I'm not sure what else could be put on it except for the "Critical Miss" logo coming out of her mouth or something outlandish like that...

Also, are there any Erin-based gifs that I am unaware of?

Well we'll certainly try to keep it on for that long. Hopefully Grey and Cory have something planned for it too. :)

closest is this one:

Your request doesn't sound hard to do, yet you seem uncertain of asking for it... so i'll give you all the time you need to think of what you'd officially want before I go into crafting it lol.

Heck even i'm struggling to make an Erin based Avatar for myself >_>
Well, this is all I got so far, in terms of natural presentation:

But yeah, I'm still thinking on my request, though...

Now, all we need is some gaming consoles burning in the background and an [AS]-based caption saying "PC Gaming Master Race Dance"...
Not sure how to rate this "joke" on the Erin scale, though...

Awww yeah :D

I did try to make dancing Erin work, but I'm assuming that Cory put in some magic that meant it specifically doesn't work as an avatar or something =P

So instead I went with pretty fireworks :3

I looked at those sample images and thought...you know...that one really looks like she's taking it from behind. I was right. Well done internet. Well done.

And I really want to know which comic she ends up snorting coke/ket/MDMA/whatever off the fancy rat's stomach.

If you're talking about the one in here, that one seems to be from a a fan page from Tumblr and I'm pretty sure Cory didn't make it. And yay, fireworks!

Hey guys. Grey here. Cory and I are super flattered by the topic. For those of you wondering where the dancing Erin gif came from. Cory made that himself. It's based on the <url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAdr94fzNPA>ed from Dragon Half.

Don't ask me where I found the first one you mentioned >_> .. . .
Considering I needed to locate the full image in order to confirm my suspicions, I don't need to ask you where you found it. I already know.

I think I'll change my avatar to a reaction image of Erin being disgusted at torrents of shit coming out of a EA representative's mouth...

Only when I said that out loud to myself did I realise just how bizarre Critical Miss is. Not, like, Homestuck bizarre, but still pretty fucking high up there.

edit: The sin is done. I needed to change my avatar anyway...

I guess my next one after the month of Erin is finished will be, like, a fursuiter punching a bird in the face or something.

Good luck to the duo. Critical Miss is my favourite webcomic that isn't completely stupid, and I condemn commend them for it.

Are you disappointed with the lack of Rule 34 in this thread?

I've seen CM Rule 34, its generally either too filthy for use on this site or just not that good.

Edit: Fuck it, I'll see what 34 I can scrape up that is usable.
The only CM Rule 34 I have seen are pics Grey has linked on Twitter himself, lol.

I...I think that's Orochimaru from Naruto. Or at least it looks like him. The dumb headband is there.

I'm not crazy, am I? I look at Critical Miss rather frequently now but I haven't actually followed it for years.

I would change my avatar but there aren't enough gifs. I need to have an animated avatar, damnit!

The person is clearly a woman in all the appearances of her I've seen, so can't be him.

Edit: Thats a person in panel 4 you're seeing. Her name is Penny, and she draws a lot of Nathan Fillion Rule 34. Presumably, thats what she just unveiled.

There was a Rule 34 animation set that could've been turned into a gif, but, well, against CoC. I do have an idea for a semi-animated gif...
Ah, that's me not being particularly familiar with the comic, then. I'm a bit of a 'casual' reader if anything, and I've only really recently started looking at the comic every time a new panel comes out. What's the idea you've got?

edit: SO MANY EDITS. But yeah, I think I could like that particular picture animated...somehow.

Third panel down, fifth one overall? Yeah, that's not Penny. Penny is in the fourth one holding the tarp. She has the headband.

Totally unrelated to anything so far in the thread, and I know you've gone with a different style in Critical Miss since its been posted, but I'm wondering who this character is:

That's not Penny. As far as I know, she was never given a name, backstory, or purpose. I assume that Grey and Cory meant Molly to be bisexual or something, but they had this character in and never did anything with her. Penny is the one with grey skin, holding the tarp in the fourth panel.

Erin is coming... The Month of Erin is the "X History Month" of celebrations, where we all gather around our high-end PCs wearing our Erin-based avatars to celebrate the goddess known as Vivian James Erin, all leading up to the anniversary of the first issue of Critical Miss on The Escapist...

Or, at least, that's how I see it... Too bad I'm waiting until I burn my console peasentness March Mayhem ends to change my avatar otherwise I would have done it yesterday two days ago...

Why is this the first I heard about themed months? I sort of noticed it but I didn't know it was organized. I feel like looking back at a photo album and realizing I looked like a fool the entire time... several years in a row. So, like actual high school again.

-sigh- would an avatar change rid me of the Bieber curse I've had for the last week? Not even a cache purge seems to have killed it so far

But seriously ... THAT ... GIF, is ... amazing. Amazing ... i'd wear it myself if it wasn't for the fact there's no way to edit a frappe in without ruining what's given to us. Curses ...
The frame with her mouth closed and her arm down, could have her drink in that one, and dance with it in the rest, would fit the tone well enough. She'd look very happy to have a frappe
