    I wanted to share a portrait of Cordelayne I had commissioned recently by Denis Loubet. Having been a fan of his artwork since I was a kid, this personalized piece for me was a dream come true! I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do! :)

    Got to ask, how does this work? you send a pic with bio details, and you go back and forth on portraits? or is this a one take portrait? which would be magical!

    Sort of, Denis is an absolute gem of a guy and super responsive. After seeing the work he did for @Baron Drocis Fondorlatos and @Sir Frank I had to have my own portrait done, so I reached out to him via Patreon, where I am a supporter of his. After agreeing on terms, we spoke (via email) about Cordelayne's personality, did I want an action shot or portrait, and I sent him game images of Cord. We went back and forth a bit and he nailed it after the first sketch. If i hadn't liked the sketch he would have completely revised it. All in all I cannot express how wonderful the experience was for me. I got to interact with an artist I love and get my own SotA personalized portrait. Very humbling and wonderful!

    @Cordelayne Thanks for sharing. This is a gorgeous work of art. Also I give my vote for us to have this lovely picture in the game too. ***Raises Hand for Picture of Cordelayne in the game*** Having a nice selections of picture in the game is awesome. Walking into someones house and seeing their portrait gallery that is not quite like anyone's you've seen so far would be so terrific. It's like we can write in books and get some interesting different books, now to extend that to pictures and portraits or at least ability to make some doodle marks on sheets of paper, well we can in a way as I've gotten a couple of Christmas cards done this way lately.

    @Cordelayne Gotta say.. I'm totally going to get him to do one or two for me at some point. I'm sure he must have a huge backlog though.

    About how long would say it took from the time you first contacted him until he could start work on your piece?

    Wow, another stunning portrait by Loubet. Congrats. Someone tell Caravaggio's Wolf in Ardoris. :)

    From the day I contacted him in October to yesterday, the whole process was just over two months. Not that long at all! :)

    If you're serious about it, I would reach out to him directly via his email on his website. He's super responsive and this way you can gauge a possible timeline and price.

    Oh wow. Cool picture. I am on Denis' backlog for 7 months now waiting for him to contact me when he has an opening. I think he forgot about me. I will email him.
