Unflappable Drayk Icshi Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Lacking the artisitic talent to create such items for myself, I was wondering if somebody out there could fix up a couple of custom item graphics for me. 1. Kilt — nice plaid design, maybe red and black. Need two graphics, one for the floor, one for the get/inventory windows. 2. Bagpipes — similar plaid design, maybe a different color scheme than the kilt. Also needs two graphics. You can go ahead and put these four graphics in their own sheet. The sheet number doesn't matter, I can fix that later with ResEdit. Much obliged! PS - Don't worry, my scenario does NOT take place in the Scottish highlands. That would be silly. The scenario takes place in a region where kilts and pipes were used hundreds of years previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Necris Omega Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 'Spose I could do something up... Inspiration levels as of late for BoA Graphics have been below zero though. Maybe when the game finally comes out for the rest of us... ---Your Windowed maniac, Necris Omega Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Icshi Posted March 31, 2004 Author Share Posted March 31, 2004 I'm in no hurry. For one thing, I'll be out of town and delinked from my internet umbilical for the next two weeks... Besides, I can work on the plot and dialogue of the scenario WITHOUT kilt and bagpipes graphics! Imagine that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Icshi Posted April 20, 2004 Author Share Posted April 20, 2004 Righto. I'm back in town and ready to receive any bagpipes and/or kilts that may be ready to be shipped hither! icshi@earthlink.net Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chittering Clawbug jackstraw Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Hi... not to be too picky, but being Scottish it goes with the territory. The cross-check design or pattern of a kilt is not "plaid", but "tartan"; depending on how technical you want to get, the plaid is either the entire garment (the earlier version from which the kilt evolved) or the sash worn with the kilt (in the modern version). None of which has anything to do with whether there should be kilt-related graphics in BoA. As far as I'm concerned, so much the better. However, from descriptions of its dank, drafty environment, I can't imagine that Avernum is an ideal kilt-wearing location... then again, come to think of it, neither is Scotland...

Garrulous Glaahk Daravon Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 I would hope that those wearing said kilts would be wearing them on the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that interesting tidbit of information — I stand corrected. It's been a while since I've been to a Scottish festival (used to go to one in the wonderful Estes Park in Colorado, when I lived there), so I'm very rusty with such things. By the way, these kilts will be used on the surface world. It's far in the north, though, so pretty much the same conditions under which the Scots live. So the same mystery of "who the heck got that crazy idea in a cold, damp climate?" remains unanswered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Midknight Warrior Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 skirts are a form of simple clothing, much easier to make than pants. Come to think of it Avernum is a place where it would make sense to wear kilts, for all practical matters its just a cloth tied together at one end, the designs and thingys are completely unnecessary.

Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 I think the Avernites should wear togas. They're just a sheet, and they eliminate even the inconvenience of needing separate articles for top and bottom. But Jeff did not make the Avernites toga-wearers, so what can we do? (Answer: steal some Nethergate graphics and make a scenario featuring Avernum dwellers modeling a chic new look.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody dareva Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 No tunics under the togas? Granted, they're not pants, but still, it's some sort of undergarment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
