Well, i haven't posted any new information, updates, or changes recently; and i'll tell you why- Let's dive into the world known as "Personal Life".

As mentioned i'm human too, i learn, i age, and i do homework. I'm currently trying to balance school, work, and homework together while piecing what spare time i have for relaxation and going out; I'm barely spending any time doing graphics.

I'm going to have free time, eventually. But sadly i've got another project, a reading assignment. Great, what joy. Read a book that was meant to span over the summer, and do it in a week.

Anyways, if any of you actually cared, that's the reason why i'm not really on a first priority alert on making graphics. It was just unlucky for you guys, and me, that i started this whole project right before school started.

~ Ok, that's out of the way!

Anyways, i hate to admit it, but yes- as pointed out, sadly, my strong suite is terrains. environmental objects aren't something i've practiced on over the summer of my idle state- all i did was remake turfs over and over until i got the hang of it. Doesn't mean i can't do them! No, not by a long shot. I started off with objects and character icons. It's just that it's not as easy. And i'm, as stated, a lazy guy.

Anyways. I'm trying to get the requested terrains, buildings, and misc environmental objects completed. They all look good, in my opinion, but i'm taking it slow.

I'm redoing the turfs i've made, as they were commented to be too grainy. I reviewed them and decided: Ew. Ok, well, yea, i think the ground you walk on is more important then the branch you trip over, but they go together harmoniously-if that's even a word. So once i get these turfs remade, and out of the way, i'll go out of my regular daily rut to actually think of what would go in an environment, and make some things like barrels, crates, twigs, cracks, rocks, trees, pine cones, leafs, flowers, etc.

That's that.

Onto other news.

I still need suggestions! Just because i'm busy, doesn't mean i need ideas! I'm not psychic, tell me what you want.

Also, if anyone wants to help out and submit your own public contributions. Join up! Put up an example in the "Private Works" Section; the area of the forums dedicated to work that ISN'T meant to be used publicly, and if they do- may they burn. Then after submitting so i know if i'd be happy to host your publications you can ask if you want to help out. Or if you were just posting in that topic to show off, i'll ask if i think you could contribute nicely.

This way we have multiple styles of artwork, and makes it easier on me- while providing more variety to those in need.

Well, i'm ranting again. This should be enough for now.

Later folks.

I had a little while to spare some time to do some graphics after waking up- before i had to get back to other work. So i started with the basic stuff. I did some lightning effects for you, a decent spell graphic if you use it. And i did a very very basic squared tile and squared walls, as an arena and walls for a game.

In the lightning the red highlighted areas defines what will be repeated, that kind of V shape for any of the following lightning bolts. The green indicates the starting point. And the orange, for diagonal only, indicates what part you could use if you wanted to have the effect look better, by attaching it to the end of the bolt. You can use a randomizer of sorts to animate the bolts by constantly putting random selections of the replicatable parts to make it look alive. [I had originally made an end piece, where the bolts merge. But i decided against adding it into the pack, as it would make it wierd if it were animated

That's all, Yo.

[Edit: Removed the Arena set, i didn't like it. and it had a flaw.]
[Edit Edit: PS- I wonder if that's too many bolts for a single electric spell o.o]

Well, it's not much. But i added two more roof styles. Direct top-view, and an alteration of that view to create another form of frontal view. (See the new example image for details on alteration between top-view to frontal.

Also, these new roofs use a new texture. I don't know if it's any better or worse.

I'll be trying to get some objects done soon, but not until i catch up on older requests. And yea, i'm still stuck on my slow schedule, alternating between work and, well, work (This).

So this new roof should be easier to use.

Yes i find it joyful supplying people with graphics. But i've got homework. And homework waits for no one, espcially a failing grade.

Personal issues aside, i'm still working on some sets, but they'll be slowing down for a few, since i've got things to do. Once i finish i'll go back to my regular, moderately-slow pace.

However, i'm still up to the idea of having some people join up in the guild and help me contribute by contributing themselves, making graphics from the same requests and even just their own imagination, that can be an alternative to my graphics if people don't like what they see, or like the other artist's style more. So if anyone's in the charitable mood, and is good at what they do- Post an example and join up!.

Anyways. Yea. So i'll finish up a few more graphics, and slow down a bit. So if you start wondering "Hm, why's it taking a day to do a couple of graphics?" That's because i have alot of homework, a job, and most importantly, i'm self paced.

But don't fret, it'll only be for a few days. So it's no biggie. [I'm posting about this because people are already asking me where the rest of what they requested is XD]

I think this is kinda fun, really. I get home- do a couple of sets, which hopefully are beneficial to those who need them. I'm probably posting too much, making up for lost time not having a membership in the past.. But it's so entertaining!

Anyways, so far so good. I've finished a few more graphics and updated the forum listings. Added a hud which can be used for most natural settings, i suppose. Also, i've updated a few things.

Trying to get a good CSS. I've got Digital Samurai, and i really appreciate it, helping me out with it. All those spiffy CSS pages, it made me jealous. I'm still on the hunt for the illusive guy or gal who bought me the membership in the first place- a really cool gesture.

And yea, i'll keep saying this. Keep the suggestions coming in! [Put them in the forums, and join the guild while your at it =)]

[For the rankings, the roof set seems to be far more popular than the rest, with around a couple of hundred hits, with the others at only half that. Hope you guys use the roofs well!]
