    I would definitely reach back out! :)

    I was emailing with him last night/this morning and relayed that I posted the picture here and some folks might be reaching out to him.

    @Cordelayne

    Absolutely fantastic work by Dennis there, congratulations.

    Also I think it would be appropriate to add the link to Dennis patreon page in the OP.
    https://www.patreon.com/denisloubet

    Furthermore if you want to make it available to Port then reach out to them using the support email so that you can sort out the details.

    What a great portrait!

    I had been thinking about having Mr. Loubet create a portrait for my character as well and I was quizzing @Berek whether we could get our portraits added to the game. As Royal Founders and Early Founders it would seem appropriate to have our portraits somewhere in game.

    I'm glad you are enjoying your new portrait. :)

    Well I'm just a Benefactor, so... ;)

    I think it's cool that Portalarium puts our art in the game at all. Whether it's portraits Denis has done for folks or @Leostorm 's great pieces, the more the better in my opinion! :)

    Excellent painting. Still waiting to see community created artwork make it's way into the game. It was done in the past, had been discussed as a possibility for the future, then... faded into obscurity. Examples such as this are much better than generic public domain images used in some of the existing in-game paintings. Frames exist, not sure why it's any more difficult to map the textures.

    @Cordelayne

    That's fantastic! Well done by you and Denis!

    Yet now I have some interesting questions -- provide some role-play thoughts if you like, as if you were sitting in front of Denis and he was painting you, and tell us of your day with him -- 'Tis thy challenge.

    [​IMG]

    1. The expression on your face ... what were you thinking about at the time? I notice the furrowed brow, the slight grin, the stare (at something?). What were you thinking about?
    2. Hands on your belt, relaxed, not on hilt. Are you a battle commander and thinker or a warrior always ready to defend or attack?
    3. Armour, you are well protected, yet where is your helm? Was it damaged in battle? It would have covered your face in the painting?
    4. Are you indoors and in protected areas? Perhaps at Denis' castle and you just dined with him? What did you do at Denis' castle?
    5. The images on your breastplate... they spire out while connecting in the center circle, almost like branches on a tree. Is that symbolic?
    Very impressive indeed.

    May your image be part of eternity in this realm and beyond.

    @Winfield I think we need one of you fishing next! :)

    1) I told Denis that Cordelayne was a "roguish" fighter who as Billy Joel once sang, "Is quick with a joke or a light up your smoke!"
    2) Not really a commander, more of seasoned warrior who has seen his share of battle.
    3) Heh, so this is actually how Cordelayne looks in game. He wears Obsidian plate armor with a black cloth hood and Obsidian cloak.
    4) Lol I like the idea that Denis and I just got done with a good meal, with some good ale and, good friends and of course great conversation!
    5) Not symbolic, Denis actually took the Epic Plate design that he found online and used it as the basis of the Obisidian plate you see here.

    :D

    I can tell it is a tad cold in the room the character is standing, he looks happy. Denis' art is something to behold. Truly a masterpiece!

    I actually reached out to Port, and @DarkStarr said to send them a high rez .jpg .png, which I did about a week ago. Hopefully it will get included! :)
