I said yes. He took that as me being the chief starship designer for his RPG. Now he is forcing me with deadlines for work I can't do, on top of my time on the computer is limited ( just because I am on Flare 24/7 doesnt mean I have no life, well, sorta. But I made $156.02 at a yard sale today!!!) and I can't do what he wants in 3 hours and not rush it. Besides, I usually dont just sit down and sketch up a ship with details. Imagine Lobo trying to draw his proto miranda from scratch in 2 hours withh all those details. And I start doing some ship, then get on EAS and get an idea, then start some of that, you get the idea.<br />All in all, I need a good way of telling him I dont want to do this as a job but just as a freelance guy doing this for fun.
