Random Thoughts IV: the Abyss Gazes Back

[Arakhor]

Soldier 2/Scoundrel 3, maybe?

He's obviously a Rogue or a multiclass fighter/thief, sure, but I'm not sure I'd actually write Tim as an RPG character.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

It's getting so bad that I think I really might start writing a book about Tim.
Known facts:
cold-war era submariner!
white collar criminal!
has a girlfriend who buys pizza on the way home!
likes to keep pets, of the hair-shedding quadrupedal type!
ex-con!
posts a lot
plays strategy games
has had children
will move to Belize

It's more than we get to know about the lives of ‘story-oriented’ RPGs these days, now that I think of it.

Correction. Distinctly not white collar.

Pantyhose over the head?

Pantyhose over the head?

That makes you look pretty suspicious.

Man, I need to get that shrunk down to avatar size.

You do realise that you're not exactly dissuading me from writing your biography, don't you?

And I think I can get you an avatar like that.

Work up a contract and I will appoint you as my royal biographer.

Dibs on movie rights.

Dibs on movie rights.

Dibs don't cut it friend Snerk...dollars.

Believe it or not, I actually sold movie rights to my life once, for a dollar, but there was a five year expiration in the deal which has passed.

Man, I need to get that shrunk down to avatar size.

Like this? (100 x 100 pixels).

Done by converting Snerk's .jpg to a basic 256-colour .bmp in MSPain(t), re-sizing it (re-centered the image as well), and then re-saving as a .png for upload.

I might try re-doing it in GIMP and optimising the palette if I can figure that out...

I have to say, though, as apt as this might be, I still like your bumblebee better...

 

[Arakhor]

You need to remove the white background, otherwise it'll look terrible on non-Modern CFC skins.

Hmmm....

How about a pale lilac instead...?

Next up. Animation.

 

[tjs282]

Don't push your luck...

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Don't push your luck...

Excellent work!

 

[Arakhor]

If you'd set the border as a transparency, using (say) Paint.net, then you wouldn't need to worry about the lilac, but it's not bad, no.

"Drinks ice tea like a fiend" is one detail that has stuck with me, as I have fleshed out this character in my mind.
Pugilistic, you'd want to add.

Random thought: A lot of those products that show up on late-night infomercials (the ones with incompetent people) would actually be pretty useful for people with disabilities.
