n00bcakes need a patience frosting
Been busy the last few days with all manner of things. Character images, robes and sabers galore. I'll have a full report around the holiday. (That'd be the American holiday of Thanksgiving, where we indulge in a display of gluttony and sloth that make all the third world countries renew their hate for us annually)
Anyway, The reason I'm writing today is to explain something very important to the FNG, the n00bcakes, the journeymen. And that word is Patience.
In case you've been living in a hole, you realize that I'm the go-to guy for most graphics around the DB. My background in graphic design, my programs, and my skills all make me ideal for this job. And I think I do a reasonable job, otherwise the Jac would have booted me out of the office back in february. :P
And, you'll also note that I spend a LOT of time on the various work i do for the brotherhood. And let's be real honest. I've put in enough hours that I could probably write it off on my taxes. And I do it for free. Look at the robes. Each one of those took about an hour to develop, if not two. Look at the sabers, and again, much the same. And then we have character portraits, banners, and various stuffs all across the brotherhood, nevermind the various projects i'm working on.
And the point emerges:
Please feel free to ask me to do graphics for you.
But realize that those personal requests WILL take a back seat to any other projects i have running.
Which means that if you wanted a character image, and I said I'd do it, I will. But I'm not likely to get it done for a few days...maybe a couple of weeks.
Sorry, But if Jac says 'Muz, do this up...', I'll be damned if i do GRD NummNut's 'Custom sword' image or whatever before Jac's request. Thems the breaks.
So the moral of the story is: If you're lucky enough for me to take on your graphics job, have the decency to settle down and wait for me to get it done. DO NOT pester me in email, IRC, or whatever. I'll get to it when I have time. In essence, don't act like you're paying me to do the work when you're not.
And yeah, paying in compliments is nice, but not the same. ;)
