If you're doing pixel crack anyway: Astronomical Paintings

Our sky is gorgeous. Let us put it on our walls!

Would love a series of tweaked-screenshot paintings that show close-ups of the satellites and other astronomical events (the eclipses last night were particularly neat). Named to help us memorize what they are without having to go OOC to sotaastronomy.com. (Which is a great site, but I don't want to be on the web when I'm supposed to be in-world.) For extra credit, one that shows what Daedalus looked like (or what people think it looked like) before the cataclysm.

Preferably without the gilt frames, because I think the gold looks out of place in many contexts. A simple dark wood frame would be nice.

The next international astronomy days are October 5, 2019 then April 28, 2020. Perfect timing to release new paintings.

 

Great suggestion !
Surprised Port hadn't thought of that.

 

HEY!! No disparaging remarks about my pixels!

 

Would be cool to craft paintings in game that use a screensnap you took somehow.

Maybe even being able to use those images in books.

 

It would be fun to have:

1. Textiles recipe to make the canvas (perhaps cotton + wood pulp+ wax)
2. Tanning recipe to put paint on the canvas (canvas + green dye + red dye + blue dye + 4th dye) - the 4th dye would determine which painting you craft. Example: sparkling dye would produce a picture with stars in the sky. If they allow customizable images, then the image file could be added as the 4th "dye".
3. Carpentry recipe to make a wooden framed picture (4 boards + dyed canvas = hang-able painting with wood frame). Each type of wood will give a different colored wood frame.
4. Blacksmiths table to make a metal framed picture (4 ingots + dyed canvas = hang-able painting with metal frame). Each type of ingot will give a different color metal frame. Gold ingot = gold frame, white iron ingot = white metal frame, copper = copper color frame, etc.
