Archillesian: Thanks! Skamberin: Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about avoiding too much grunge/noise.

Thanks for the encouragement. butt_sahib: Heh heh, I'll play around with the size of stuff based on…
Hello, I'm a 2D texture artist who is currently looking for part-time paid contract work or a part-time job related to 2D texturing in the game design field.

I agree, it looks pretty bad and their budget was fairly high for most games but not for AAA development. If you look at the amount of content they had to create, they clearly bit off more than they could chew or pay for. They easily have 100-150 million worth of content crammed into a 41 mil budget and it shows. The…

I have too many collector editions, but i buy them because they give me ingame content i would never had with a standard edition. And the diablo…
