A new portrait

Of Scottie of course.

 

Sounds valid.
I hereby endorse this product abd/or service.

 

I understand you guys are busy, so here's a rough draft for ya. Needs a bit of polishing though.

 

I love this idea! @Scottie needs to have an in-game portrait. One that when you click on it, it sings back to you in elvish!

Seriously though, if Scottie were amenable I would be happy to reach out to Denis Loubet and see if he would be willing to do it for (ahem) a discount.

@Sir Frank what do you think?

 

I vote for a singing Scotty Bobblehead doll! Tap the head and he starts singing in Elvish.

 

i would love to have scottie as an npc like a wandering bard on the overland map also when you visit inns so you can sit down for an ale and have him share tales of adventure!,now that would be awesome
just like volo

 

I would contribute to the cost and do whatever arm-twisting I could with Denis.

 

Awesome, I was hoping you would say that! If Scottie is interested I would be happy to start an email convo w/ Denis and help pay to get this moving!

 

In the meantime, can someone use the U9 cover art, replace the avatar's face with scottie's. photoshop the game box in mid air, and we can call it... 'The unboxing: There can only be one"

Seriously, I think everyone on the team deserves an artwork of some form in game as well. At the very least a group painting.

 

Run a kickstarter?

 

We can get @Vallin Tregres to do something for in game gold.

Wish @Leostorm can come back soon. He has done some really nice artworks.

 

I bring professionalism to a new level.

 

These suggestions are both thrilling and hilarious in many cases!!! ^_^

From a standpoint of seriously answering as to whether I would be interested I can only say what I said in a recent message to me on Facebook, which is;

"Wow! Not only would I approve, but the very idea of that represents a distinct and humbling honor that leaves me, beyond this point, fairly speechless... "

That being said,...let me make a speech! Hah!

Denis has been my friend for many years, and I've never broached the subject with him of arranging some personal portrait... It always felt like it might be a very personal intrusion upon his time when he often seemed to have so much on his plate... But the idea of getting together the money for it in such a manner,...well, again, it humbles me delightfully that it would even be a topic of discussion, even if the reality never comes to pass... But considering what I've already seen this amazing community accomplish, I would be a fool to assume it implausible...

Regardless of the outcome, however...thank you all SO MUCH for this consideration...

Scottie ^_^

 

Scottie has approved and Denis has agreed to take this on.
Rild will be setting up a Kickstarter to fund this portrait.

If there are artists among the community that might wish to do portraits of other players or developers, we'd like to hear from you.
It will be paid work.

 

yey!

 

I am going to start a funding campaign for this. I would like to hear your thoughts on Kickstarter, and what reward you would expect vs GoFundMe.

I would like to launch the campaign by the weekend, and run for 30 days.

 

Honestly, I'll probably help even if there are no rewards, just to get a portrait ingame. However, if Port would we willing to give a copy of the picture to those who back, it'll save me a CotO. If the artist would be willing to send digital copies to backers, that'd be nice too. But overall, I wouldn't push for any real rewards. I'm just happy to see what we come up with for Scottie.

 

We've launched!
