I understand that, and I'm sorry you're so overwhelmed.
How come though, all your shop owners were re-done, I really liked how they were, especially Igor and we only got to see him for a short while before Vindrae redid him. I think it was him... It's early AM so I might not be thinking straight.

Some of the latest like Gigi or Igor looked alright (in my opinion), but they were done in a different style than I had done the previous shop keepers myself, so it didn't fit together anymore and I was in the need to redo them myself so they would fit to each other again. And that's where Vin stepped in and kindly did the work for me.

Is there anywhere to find the old shop keeper images? I liked them better.
Also, it was very kind for Vin to step in and help you out. I do like her art, just at the same time the new art in the story form does look very weird and freaky to me.
Sorry, I have a thing about stating my opinions when it's a feedback thing. :mcblush: Good or bad feedback is feedback.

I welcome all kinds of feedback, which includes bad feedback as long as it is constructive and helps us improve the side, unlike plane complaining and bitching that does not help anyone.
But I think when it comes to things like the art for the NPCs, then it is a matter of taste. Some will like it, others won't and changing it would be as much an improvement for some as it would be a downgrade for others so I will go with my personal taste as I love Vin's art (But I understand that she has a very unique style which might not be of everyone's taste).

I am too ashamed of the old NPC art I did (I seriously think it's horrible crap and I know I could do SO much better by now..if I had the time that is), so I can only provide art that was done in the end and is only half as bad (but still bad):

Yay! Igor! :mclove:

I didn't really expect anything to be changed, I guess I was more curious how come it seems like you're art is disappearing and what not, but I completely understand being overwhelmed/busy and not having time to do it. When it comes to art, no matter what kind, it is all about a persons taste rather than if art is good or bad as there is really no such thing as bad art. I just myself prefer yours. Sorry if I seemed whiny, and thank you so much for posting those, I love the old shop keepers. "mchappy" /Saves to desktop.
I really like your old shop keeper drawings, but I also agree that you're style has changed and give the time, energy, and wanting to, you could do even better now.

Just a couple errors not yet pointed out.

Feänor wrote: is the shop keeper of The Family Jewels on in the Kingdom Of Knuffel. He comes from an ancient family of noble Dark Elves and is several hundretd years of age. He loves nature and lives in a tree house with his pet, the hamster Ulric.


Fungus wrote:
Race: S’hroom

Fungus is the shop keeper of Kingdom Of Knuffe’s first shop, Bananarama. He belongs to a rare species called S'hrooms, which, besides their visual resemblance of a mushroom, is marked by small size. Because of this size Fungus gets often confused with a child. He has a crush on Lucretia, but because of low self-esteem and his shyness he has never dared to talk to her.


Nympharia wrote:
Race: Merfolk

Nympharia is the shop owner of the Kindom's Treasure Trove, which is located at the shore. She rarely leaves her water home and seldom interacts with other inhabitants that don’t live in the ocean. But whenever she meets other residents of the Kingdom she is always kind and polite. Nympharia spends most of her free time with singing, pearl-diving, playing with her dolphin friends or simply combing her hair for hours.


Also, shouldn't it be '...live in the ocean, but whenever...' I thought in English it was improper to start a sentence with 'but'

Lyera wrote:
Race: Human

Lyera is the hairdresser and owner of the Kingdom's hairdresser's shop The Cutting Crew. She is of middle age and of calm and responsible characher character which is why, on behalf of the Queen, she is spending some of her free time secretly keeping an eye on Walla, which is why she cann often be found sneaking behind Walla and her friends, never short of an excuse when caught.

Well done :3

I like the new art, but I also liked the old one(you both know that I love your artworks Firn and Vin ;3)

Fungus and Nympharia are really cute drawn Vin x3 And I like the character designs, Firn!(I wanted to say that so many times but now is a good time for that*haha*)

I need to read the descriptions later x3

I'm confused on one part of the story...

Lucretia is the shop keeper of Lunatic Fringe, while the seemingly always cheerful Gigi runs Purikura. She is secretly in love with Peppe


It mentions Lucretia and Gigi in the same sentence and following that uses "She is secretly in love with Peppe..."

But I don't know if they meant Gigi or Lucretia. I assume Gigi since she is mentioned last, but I hate assuming xD I tend to be wrong!

@koren: I was going to say something about that... But I just took it as Lucretia. I think it mentions something like that later that tells you it's Lucretia, but yeah, this is a bit confusing. :) (Unclear antecedent! XD Lol grammar.)
