I recently bought a new computer. It's a HP Pavilion dv6-6C60, for those of you who were curious. Why I bought a $1400 laptop when there's only, what, *three* newer games I kind of want to play is a question I am still pondering myself.

Apart from being a major pain in the arse to tweak to my liking, it also happens to be incompatible with all stable versions of GIMP currently out due to its 64bit operating system. It works, but it refuses to save any of my custom settings or hotkeys, and tends to take ages to start because it acts as if it is newly installed every time I try to start it. There is an experimental version that works with Win7 64bit, but it has some annoying issues, such as most pre-existing custom brushes no longer being compatible. (The ones actually for Photoshop being the exception, oddly enough.)


Anyway, until I manage to sort things out, I probably won't be updating or uploading anything for a while. I am too stressed out because of this thing - and other irl stuff - to concentrate on such matters at the moment anyway.

Hello :)
I love your flags and maps and I was wondering if you could make one if I requested one? :)

Aye, though I can't guarantee I'll get them done fast. I recently got Crusader Kings 2, and I've developed a bit of an addiction to it, to say the least.

Oohh you also got that problem? xD

Well, I have to upload a picture for the request first, so I'll do that somewhere today and then I'll give more details :)
I have no time limit so you can do as long as you like :)

Yeah, CK2 is just too damn good, though I had to add a mod (CK2+) due to my frustrations with how the HRE worked. Currenly playing a game as Provence, which is going pretty well so far despite my two first monarchs dying young. (My third and current one contracted Smallpox and Typhus at the same time and still survived. Hopefully that luck will hold up.)

For the COA's, do you make your own template or borrow some? I am trying to find some unique templates to use

Are you referring to the shields themselves or the heraldic elements inside them? Either way, I usually base my work on stuff I find. I find something that is appropriate to my needs, and then create a simplified vector-ish version of it using GIMP's Paths feature. I can send you the shield I used in my most recent CoA if you want it.
