    Any idea of when you could start making art again?

    Speaking from vague experience:
    One should recognize that any artist who is good enough to do decent quality work is probably a professional or a student and has to do art for money or for marks. With artists being paid crap in general, money (/marks) always come first and will generally tank their sorta-kinda free art 'obligations' made online. Further, an artist has limited creative energy they have to invest in their work AND this hobby-like project - sometimes one just gets tired.

    I've seen it happen all the time with volunteer game/mod groups and it'll always happen as artists overextend themselves. Be understanding.

    My advice for making indie games is to actually pay your artists for their work. For mods though? Hmm ... work with it, somehow? This I admittedly have less experience with.

    Ahem! Thus ends our tangent for the day.

    I understand, I was just wondering if I should stop bothering him and look for another artist.

    Thanks a ton, Ichigo. I'll try not to rush you, I know you're busy with work and other things, and that making some art for a random guy on the internet isn't exactly high priority.

    Hey, I reckon I will get the next one done tomorrow, got a bit of time before I get my next bit of work to do on thursday. Goodness knows which one I will move onto though. Who knows I may have a productive day and get more than one done.

    So I skipped a skill and went for entrepreneur of emotion, here is it based of a very famous piece of art. :)

    Here is my take on mind entanglement. A zombie with no mind >.< I am going to attempt another one now as I wish to get these finished by the end of the week. Then it is holiday time. Woo.

    Have the pictures been ok, anything need changing? I will work on it soon (tonight or tomorrow) but at the moment I am making weapon images for my own mod, when I get around to making it haha.

    Thanks for all your help, Ichigo. I have a steam key I can give you for a few games if you'd like, and if it wouldn't be too hard, could you attempt the mastery of lethargy icon? No rush at all! :)

    I will sort the last skill out, unfortunately due to deadlines, I didn't manage to finish it before going on holiday. If I get a spare moment when I have had too much fun in the sun I may whip out the mac and give it a go. If not I will do it when I get back on 10 days. Laters
