Mord Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 Ok. All I need now are the Germans! Anybody? So close yet not quite there. If I get a list for the Germs I could have this hopefully wrapped up in a week (as long as the portrait designs cooperate)! Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mord Posted July 20, 2019 Author Share Posted July 20, 2019 Well that shows you how long this can take. I spent about four hours today just creating the German list (seeing what I could actually use in game), saving pics for their battalions, and hunting down all the Dutch battalion insignia. Never even got to prepping them (deleting backgrounds, shrinking, positioning etc.). I am done for the day. I am too burnt to try and do anything major. I'd spend time making pics tonight then hate them tomorrow and end up redoing them. I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THIS S*** IS DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!! GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! MUTHER F***ER!!!!! GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Erwin Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Ya gotta watch that "burn-out" Mord and take a break. I think there is a point where the most dedicated CM enthusiasts just can't do it anymore. We've lost so many talented folks over the years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One minute I get happy, then frustrated, then depressed, then discouraged, then satisfied, then frustrated again! I feel like a teenage girl with a pimple on prom night! I actually laid down the first test pics for this f***er last August! Being so close is wearing on me. I needed to vent the pressure in my mushy brain! 3 hours ago, Erwin said: Ya gotta watch that "burn-out" Mord and take a break. Oh, I have! More so on this mod than any other. I just came back to it after not touching it since May. The worst part about starting a brand new "from scratch" portraits mod is all the excessive prep work that happens before a single portrait gets made. But at least it's a one time affair. I was so frustrated last night I guess I blew up on my keyboard. Had some sleep so I am back at it. @Aragorn2002, did you have a stroke in the middle of posting? LOL.

Mord Posted July 20, 2019 Author Share Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) My problem is my abilities outweigh my ambitions! If I had better artistic capabilities I'd get less frustrated. Manipulation is far inferior compared to actual drawing skills. I'll make a portrait that looks great but then the next couple will look less and less like they are a cohesive set of pictures. It drives me f***in' crazy! One day I'll feel like I have finally hit a level of skill that I am proud of and the next my incompetence butt rapes me into depression. It's humbling and soul sucking. I've spent almost a year on this b**** and I am only gonna be about 65% happy with it when it's done. But I can't keep redoing everything or It'll never end. I am in a self-created HELL!!!!! Mord.

This is far away my meaning with my comment Aragorn2002, and you know how I mean when I make a joke, ...believe me when I want say something bad about somebody I can do It also in the right way... The problem is, He want to be perfect and make his job as quick as possible, for the good of the community, but He has to thinking also to himself stay calm to do his things and drink fresher WATER of course with a smile between his teeth... but He know also how I mean when I make a joke 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's not little imperfections that drive me crazy it's the portraits looking like they are from multiple different design aesthetics instead of a cohesive set. It's a constant battle that I lose more than win. Mord. Edited July 22, 2019 by Mord 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
