Happy St. Packie McReary's Day... (Patreon)

When I heard Packie go, "I ain't gonna make old bones, I know that, but I'd like to hit thirty!" followed by "[...] I doubt I'll see another six months and if it's much longer..." I considered the original slated October '07 release of the game, March is only 5 months on... I figured he had a March birthday. And no other day in March would make more sense to me than the 17th. I celebrated with cupcakes for the second year in a row.

Here's some Packie stuff.

"peeled" Packie, his off-white (maybe it was white once) shirt underneath his green polo, I'd made a long time ago before coming back to it to give it a few fit adjustments, and then, reusing it for this--

Packie, circa late Summer 1997.

As for getting this model in-game, I've encountered some difficulty in getting his hair to appear just right. i forgot to vertex color it initially but now that its properly done so, i've been having issues with the alpha not appearing as hashed as i'd like it to... That, and the lighting is just particularly bad to it in the pm_1 cutscene, making it straight black in some shots.
