October 12, 201213 yr Now i'm really curious, who's vance? Obsidian @Obsidian Current PayPal status: $140,000. 2,200 backers "Hmm so last Paypal information was 140,000 putting us at 4,126,929. We did well over and beyond 4 million, and still have an old backer number from Paypal. 76,186 backers. It's very possible that we have over 75,000 backers if I had new Paypal information. Which means we may have 15 Mega dungeon levels, and we already are going to have an amazing game + cats (I swear I will go stir crazy if Adam doesn't own up to the cats thing )." Switching to Paypal means that more of your money will go towards Project Eternity. (The more you know.) Paypal charges .30 cents per transaction and 2.2% for anything over 100,000 per month for U.S currency. Other currency is different, ranging from anywhere between 2.2-4.9%. Kick Starter is a fixed 5% charge at the end.
October 12, 201213 yr Author Now i'm really curious, who's vance? Vance Kovacs, he used to work at Black Isle too. http://www.vancekovacs.com/

October 12, 201213 yr Author Here's the interesting part, Justin and Vance recently created Carbon Canyon Studios : http://www.carboncan...om/?page_id=182 Since Adam mentioned both of them, I guess CCS involvement in the project is a possibility? Edited October 12, 201213 yr by Karranthain

October 12, 201213 yr Author Thanks for the support everyone, at the very least we managed to let them know that there's plenty of fans who'd love to see Sweet's portraits in this game. The answer we got (Adam Brennecke: We've talked here about contacting Vance and Justin but we haven't had a chance yet.) means there might be good news coming
October 12, 201213 yr tell ya what since that q&a session the kick starter heated back up, pumping in funds by the hundreds.

I hated those IWD portraits with passion. At least I now have a reason to lower my pledge. Edited October 13, 201213 yr by dlux
October 13, 201213 yr Yeah... I don't know. Their artwork just does nothing for me. Don't get me wrong I can see they are very talented, and their work is amazing. But, it just make me go meh.... The shadow in the corner of your eye. The cold steel pressed to your throat. The beautiful vision that may be your last. Do not breath, for the Petite Death has your Soul in her hand.
October 13, 201213 yr i'm only hope that they WON"T hire JUSTIN biebier :D Everyelse Justin whould be great :D Edited October 13, 201213 yr by ArchBeast http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/61276-orcs-discussion/

I HATE Justin Sweet's portraits and I am gonna say that too. It is my opinion - and I am not gonna pay extra cash for being forced to remove every portrait when the game is released. Nice flame bait btw.
October 13, 201213 yr With that attitude I even have doubts you're pledging into this at all. Anyway, no need to continue feeding... Even alts... *sigh* Yeah, we're already past 2,9 mil. (with the Paypal pledges). This is just great! Wasteland 2 got 420k on the last 3 days. With 4 days to go I'm sure we'll be able to reach 3.5 Million! If not, I'm pretty sure it will be damn close, and OE will still make that second big city Edited October 13, 201213 yr by hideo kuze PoE: Cast your vote on: Stretch Goals | Game Maturity | Party Creation | Level Scaling | World Map Interface | Magic System | Replayability and Choices | Quest Solving | Romances | Multiplayer | Art StyleProduction Beard at 4 million?

Even alts... *sigh* I see you have never been in the Kickstarter chat before then.... Maybe you are the one who hasn't pledged. You can keep on responding if you like. then I can write another post on how terrible Justin Sweet's portraits are in my opinion.
October 13, 201213 yr They should hire him though, or some other painter dude, for the box cover and maybe a few more shots. Portraits should be done internally, I'd like about 100 of them and they should all be done in the same style. Mellow down people, having/not having some particular artist for the portraits is absolutely no reason to not back up the game, it's going to be awesome no matter how they roll.

Mellow down people, having/not having some particular artist for the portraits is absolutely no reason to not back up the game, it's going to be awesome no matter how they roll. Justin can do anything in the game as far as I care. Concept art, cutscene images, whatever. He is talented (there are artists that have more talent than him though) and he has a distinct style which fits very good in some cases, but he is NOT a good portrait artist - he is a terrible portrait artist imo. I hated his portraits in IWD so much that I had to replace them all... and the statement that Obsidian is *thinking* of hiring Justin to do the portraits for PE makes me cringe.

But yes, the portrait is also very good, much better than anything Justin Sweet could ever whip up.
October 13, 201213 yr The question got through, nice...but there's a loooong pause haha Edit : Adam Brennecke: We've talked here about contacting Vance and Justin but we haven't had a chance yet. You're all crazy and arguing over something that wasn't even said or done. The above quote is all that Adam had said, they already have been releasing portraits, so more than likely if they contacted vance and justin it would probably be to do other designs. But, until something actually happens there's no reason for everyone to get their panties in a bunch.
