    It's always good to give the right First Impression when guests enter your home! @Baron Drocis Fondorlatos

    I hope that you have a fireplace upstairs, because ascending those stairs will chill you.
    I also suggest that you find a tailor and invest in some small clothes, unless upstairs is a fetish party which may make a fireplace even more important.

    Haha! Yes, a fireplace is a good idea!

    LOL @Andartianna I'll endeavour not to stand at the entrance lest I divert attention from the main star!

    Wait - is that a Player's portrait? Is it a custom painting? How does one do that?

    Apparently commission a Denis Loubet.
    Give it to Portalarium.
    Not sure who else has done it successfully.

    It's called The Curmudgeon, a COTO painting you can purchase from Ardoris. It is also the forum portrait used by Baron Drocis Fondorlatos.

    I have no idea why Portalarium decided to use his profile portrait as a COTO purchasable painting, but I just think it's funny as hell! That's the reason why it's sitting there where my visitors are first greeted by it!

    Cheers,

    And it's a piece done by Denis Loubet

    Denis is the artist that produced the Cover Art for Shroud of the Avatar, all the Ultima covers, and many many more pieces of iconic game art over the last several decades. He has a Patreon site, and his Draw My Character endeavor if you would like to support him (As I do) and commission him for your own character portrait(s) (As I have many times. Several of the pieces I've commissioned are in the scroll on the main page of Draw My Character. :) )

    I would definitely love to see more Denis Loubet artworks being imported into this game. The one he drew for Rufus was pretty epic as well.

    I would be willing to pay denis for a few shots and donate them to the game.... If we got enough of us, and portalarium was okay with it, we could create quite the movement!

    I love Denis Loubet's artwork, but I'd like to see some of the artwork done by @Leostorm in the game, too. His player portraits are in a completely different style, but they are marvelous. I haven't seen Leo around lately :-(
