I finally got the friggin' Kiribans out of the way! Not that I didn't enjoy doing them, but you know how things get with people like us.. we procrastinate until even fun things become a pain simply because there's some sort of deadline attached. I'm glad they're done though, so I can present them to the respective recipients, and I'm mostly happy with how they turned out.

One of the reasons it's taken me until now to get the Kiribans sorted out is because I bought a used copy of an old Sierra adventure game, King's Quest V, at a garage sale for fifty cents, and have plunged headlong into the wave of nostalgia that this game brings about. I have a great love for old-school adventure games, as they were some of the first games I ever played. Probably my favourite genre to this day, though sometimes they can make a person want to slam their head into a wall if you get stuck with a certain puzzle.

Speaking of Kiribans, I can't believe I've gotten almost 300 pageviews since I hit 12,000 and undertook these kiribans! That's a pretty quick jump, at least for me. It could be a lot less! Thanks guys!

Also, my website The Freelance Journey over at [link] is still going strong! That said, I don't know how many people are reading it, but I've been updating with regularity and hopefully it will be interesting to some of you folks. Check it out!

Finally, I have a question: if I was to offer commissions, would anyone be into taking me up on that? Just trying to figure out where I stand in regards to that.

Thanks guys! Later!

Oh Kings Quest; oh, my childhood. I remember when my mom bought the 1-7 boxed set when KQ8 came out, and she and I played straight through them. 7 will always be my favourite, but I have a fondness for 3 too. (((:

And thank you so much again for the kiriban. I love seeing other peoples' interps of my characters, especially ones I've had to draw repeatedly for many months on end like these two...it is VERY refreshing to see someone else's take when you get sick of your own (:
and btw, is there any chance that i could get a higher res version of the pic (if you have one)? I would love to make it my summer desktop. <3 Thanks again SO much *_*
Actually, no.. :(

I painted it at a pretty small rez not too much bigger than this, and when I saved the final version it was already scaled down.. Sorry mate!!! :(

that's totally cool! It's not too much shorter than my screen anyway; I think I can still make one (: <3
Ah, 2D adventure games. Oh the hours I could spend on Monkey Island, if only I actually had a copy.
