Here's my entry for the Forge's anniversary jam!

It's IGEBM in his usual forging attire, that being boots, an apron, and a comfy warm shirt. He doesn't wear protective face coverings, but hasn't come back to bite him (well, not yet.)

The name of this skin comes from the song "The Cross and You" by Avantasia. I've definitely heard the song and I definitely didn't just look "avantasia forge lyrics" on Google... either way, it does fit with this skin because the goal of me and the rest of the Council is to keep the group going.
