Oi! First, kudos to the rAthena team for making the difficult decision to make the move. I wish you all the best of luck in pushing forward with this project and renewing it. Also, THANK YOU for updating to the new IPB! I love it! I haven't gotten a use for mine recently since we closed our server and RUNE. So what's been going on? For me, life has been so busy! I graduated college two years ago, which was initially the thing that made me leave. I went for design so it was pretty difficult. But, what do you know, I'm not even working in the design field. I moved down to California and now work for a free to play game company which licences primarily Korean games. Started out as a GM, but have worked up to Associate Producer (meaning I work more with the developers than the players). Luckily, I have some freedoms in the game that I did in RO...primarily the ability to color things which I so love to do ;D Unfortunately it's 3D models, which I still don't know how to work with other than coloring textures...but I plan to learn! Anyway, it's been a wild and fun ride so far. If you remember Rico/TheUltimateEnd, who was previously my boyfriend...well we actually got married last year ^^ It was about time, right?! And in October we adopted two beautiful kittens <3 Sadly, my work takes up almost all of my time, and I have almost no time for side projects This means there's still not really any time for RO. However, my one major ongoing side project is cleaning up and organizing my hard drives...because there's a lot of old files and duplicate files laying around on them. First priority related to that is my Ragnarok files! Once all of those are organized I can re-release my work, and possibly release the things I had not yet released. We'll see when the time comes. If there is one thing I do still have plans to finish...it was my fixed sprites and palettes for them. Due to the disorganization of my files, though, it will have to be restarted nearly from scratch. I'm up to the challenge (especially since it wont require new creativity)...but it's gonna take a while xD Anyway, that's what's been up with me. I do miss the RO community from time to time, and came to visit eAthena occasionally, but I guess this will be my new home to return to. I look forward to seeing the community strive (and seeing the new graphics work that may appear here...instead of the bumping of very old topics). Hope everyone is well! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a long time ago, but I must say that all of your work were certainly pretty good. Nice to see you around here too. I hope (if you have free time) that you can show us something about graphics, It would be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really have many works for Asda...the only design work I've done was draw, and then the developers actually do the models (usually with changes). I've only done a couple costumes though. Otherwise it's just changing costume colors...recently I've done a couple monster color changes as well to make holiday pets xD Anyway, since you asked I don't have much to show for coloring (don't have before and after screenshots, otherwise it would be pointless to show xD)...but I can show you what I have done for costume design...some is really simple ~_~: Angel Costume - They changed it a little. Devil Costume - They changed this one quite a lot. Here is a screenshot of the completed versions. Pictured together because we originally released them as a set for Valentine's day. Also in Asda 2 I changed the color of the devil set to black: Snowman Costume - They did it pretty much exactly as I made it. Bunny Costume - Heh... Bunny Pajamas Costume - Made for Easter time. Polynesian Costume - Didn't upload the sketch for this one... Excuse the low quality images...it was before Facebook had HQ uploads. I think that's basically all of the things I made designs for...otherwise just coloring stuff. xD Edited December 13, 2011 by Usako Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a long time ago...Naoki isn't in to RO anymore either as far as I know...I have him on Facebook. I think he's now more in to the ladies ;D At this point it's silly to say no. Our server is no longer here and never will be again I'm sure (partially due to the fear of losing our jobs xD).
