Well, I was going through all my diffrent works in progress for repaints for FS and I was wondering if a few things I've noticed were normal.

First of all is, is it normal to not finish about 90% of the works you start? Because that's pretty much what's happened with me.

And also, is it normal that, if I were to uncompress all my works and save them in the required format to have them add up to:
29 Giga bytes, and about 963 Megabytes?
And yes I checked my math, multiple times.
I stopped adding when the bytes reading hit 29963615382.

Have I gone mad? Or am I just obssessed with my work? And also, is this bad for my health? Tongue

It's okay, I was laughing my head off when I say the byte number myself! Cheesy

I'm sure a lot of artists never finish their work. If it doesn't feel right, forget it.

I'm not experienced enough with those types of files to judge the size, but it doesn't seem TOO abnormal for it to be large in a native, uncompressed format.

No, it's not that the work doesn't feel right, it all certainly does. It's that I get bored halfway through and never finish. Tongue

And maybe I should have mentioned I have about 100-150 of those unfinished works.
And also, the byte number was a few GB short, I just did an easier multiplier to keep it small. Tongue

Don't worry Club. According to all I have read the existence of "normality", at least in the psychiatric sense, is becoming an endangered species. Wink

We were never convinced you weren't already mad and definitely obsessed just to be here; what health? Roll Eyes

When I tried to upload one of my compressed mini-missions some years ago, the system couldn't handle it.
