I think the npc dialog should have a normal non transparent background without any embedded frames

Time hasn't been on my side lately, and I hate to say it but it won't be changing anytime soon. Current changes to my personal life have affected my time working on projects.

Basically if I continue down this route at the rate I'm going - I'll continue producing trash like this:
Image

So instead of the usual 7, I'm going to be focusing on 3. This way, I know that I'll get them done in time without any hassle.
I go through countless, upon countless revisions before I even start on the real gritty work. That process alone can take a few hours and the average time I work on these bad boys is around 3 to 4 hours, give or take. Don't be alarmed though, these nasty critters will be polished tomorrow while I work on those Soul Menhir stones.

Before I go; Chicka, what's the carvings on those stones? I'm seeing a demon/animal skull, but I'm not sure.

Trust me I know how you feel about time with our personal lives...Ive been the same way lately. But please do not rush, or feel pressured. This project isn't a huge priority on a time line but it would be nice if it would be done even if it takes some time. Even 3 at a time would be a huge help.

For the soul Menhirs i do not see any specific carvings on them...just common rock details I believe.

Chicka

Are you positive? I'm seeing a skull/helmet combo going on.. Maybe that's just what I want to see, oppose to what it really is. :3

But yeah, the reason why I'd generally have no problem making them or anything else in droves, is because drawing - believe it or not, is my number one hobby.The self-imposed deadlines help, too. :3

Chicka, I urge you - no, demand you to take another look at those respawn stones! I am 99% positive that what I am looking at is indeed a figure, sporting a helmet/skull.

If you still don't see what I'm seeing, please post a description because I'm at a loss here, lol..

At the moment, I cannot work with these. I'm just not seeing what you are seeing. I gotta adjust myself to ignore what I'm seeing visually - a stone figure sporting a skull helmet/robe, holding his arm. So for the time being, you're going to have to give me something else to work with. I'm just not feeling it.

So yeah, instead of the usual 3, go ahead an PM me 6 more npc's. I'll make up for today, tomorrow.

I don't know if you ever got around to it or not but I never received your PM, Chicka. Doesn't really matter now though - time's up, for me at least. However, there's always tomorrow, always - as long as I receive them before, not after, 5 o'clock (eastern time of course). I would not have enough time, otherwise.

In the meantime, I guess I could go ahead an touch up those existing portraits while I wait. Yeah, I think I will! See you folks tomorrow. :3

Just a heads up to those who don't know/forgot: I operate differently, work wise - I require a list of chores, as opposed to letting me go off to do my own thing. I work better and more efficiently this way.

Not everybody can be constantly at their home computer which is where the npc graphics are for me. Sometimes i reply on the forum from work "later" means when i get home from work. I do work 12 hour shifts and I cant always get to my home computer. I work this weekend so I have given you 12 NPCs to work on while I'm working the next 3 days. (check your pm)

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.
