Korcha wrote:Okay, you're jumping to conclusions. Who is complaining? You're the only one here that seems to be.
In your previous post you wrote that you'd go ahead an send more in a little bit. I assumed that you either forgot to send them or forgot about it all together - since you're a busy person and all. I also wanted to give the heads up that I was done for today - didn't wanna leave the impression that I'd still be posting. Never did I state to hurry the fudge up. Don't put words in my mouth.

For future reference; please refrain from throwing your regurgitated 12 hours shifts in my face, every chance you get.
You are not the only human being that works long hours, believe it or not.
Normally I would've just shrugged it off, but you also went ahead and repeated it in the pm..
I understand you're exhausted/stressed, but really...?
I'll be back in an hour or so with the 6 that I promised for today. So if no one has posted by then I'll go ahead an update this post.

Edit: Really-really rough drafts. I'll fix them all up when I come back tomorrow - not feeling it today.

Can i ask who's complaining? I'm just giving you the reason why I didnt send them right away. Im not shoving anything in your face and your taking things way to wrong. I didnt realize giving you a reason for not sending them soon would make you react this way if it was the case i wouldn't give you reason at all. Im not saying you told me to hurry up I simply gave you a reason for myself not being able to send them sooner.

Please don't take it as something I tried to say against you, It wasn't and the last thing i would like to do is argue over some misunderstanding.

In other words, keep up the good work.

it's not what you wrote, it's how you worded it. That's what bothered me, not your reasoning. You came off demeaning. Like I said previously; I never hassled you for more chores, and quit the "precious time" lectures! How do you think I get stuff done, eh? Yes, I value your time. I would never take it for granted.

No one wants or expects you to be glued to your monitor 24/7. I sure as heck ain't and I don't expect you or anyone else to just drop whatever they're doing either, especially when that something won't ever earn you a single dime. However, if you're really "that" busy, I'd recommend getting someone else to take over for ya until you get some extra spare time.

Go ahead and have the last word. I'm done arguing, it's messing with my mojo.

Yeah, I basically run off the assumption that I'm being paid, lol.. Though it may not always work, when it does - the motivation baby!

Back on topic; having some major artist's block, so I'm gonna have to call it quits for today. I apologize in advance.
I'll make it up tomorrow, it's just right now my creative process is giving me hissy fits.

I'm not argueing, and it might be best if its dropped. I'm sorry you took things the wrong way I will say *again* it wasn't meant to come off that way.

I use my spare time for what I like to do and thats helping out TMW when I can, little spare time or lots of spare time I will continue to do what I enjoy even If I don't get paid so your recommendation for me Is not needed.

With that said, This discussion to go any further would be childish.

If you do decide to continue with the project, keep up the good work, I'm really enjoying seeing the outcomes of your work and im sure others are as well.

Yeah, I'll be back in another 6 years




...that would've been hilarious, even I chuckled a little.
I'm staying, this game has come such a long-long way since the last time I've been here. After booting it up I was hit hard with nostalgia - reminded me so much of Sword of Mana. I just knew I had to lend a hand or I'd regret it, and so here I am. :3

I have allotted some free time tomorrow specifically for eradicating those jaggi's, so bare with me. Also; are Bennet & Edwin skeletons or albinos? I'll start on the drunk duo as well.
Finally, I had just realized I missed a npc. Luca I believe? I'll give him a face lift as well.

Nothing too fancy. Just some minor touch ups, here and there. Though I'm strongly against it, I might color them.
However, if I'm not satisfied with the outcome (I'll never be) I'll go ahead an just shade em'.

Why thank you. Compliments are always a welcome, though I'd never strive for them!
They'll make you slack off, eventually. Trust me. :3

EDIT: just a heads up; I may not be able to accomplish anything tomorrow, really-really busy.

Can you do the Soul Menhirs separately, and based off the entire Soul Menhir set here: https://github.com/themanaworld/tmwa-cl ... enhirs.png

? There are plans to use additional images.

(And I *can* see your "skull", but it really isn't one)

Chicka-Maria wrote:They look great, the problems i do have i posted them in the thread for you to look at :)

Here are a few new ones for you to work on when those other problems are dealt with. Also you did a great job :D

Wyara - (witch that teaches you magic, nice witch, she has a cauldron where she brews potions.)

Neko - (he sells things in the desert town)

Aidan - (you register with him to collect monster points)

Ishi - (stands beside aidan at his stand, she gives you items for your monster points you collected).

Tybalt - (storage in tulimshar sand town)

Mana seed - (a magical seed that gives you the power to use magic).

Sick Mouboo - (an ill mouboo in the hills, you have to heal him.)

The mana seed sits in the water in a cave, i would like to see it magical with very little sparkle around it.

The sick mouboo would be great if you make it the same pose as the npc.

Have fun with these :) your doing a wonderful job and i appreciate your help..

regards,
Chicka

Thanks again for your help!

Hey folks! Sorry about the vanishing act. Hmm, it looks like even detailing them with a second color is a real chore for me, so I guess black & white it is! :/

Chicka, you can go ahead an send me 12 more whenever your ready-Freddy.
