[Mkguild] Metamor Keep Group Painting Complete

[C. Matthias]

Fellow Keepers, our first Metamor Keep Group Painting is now 
Complete!  Ermine has graciously included two sizes:

small: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2i83hd6djngbk24/metamor_keep3.jpg?dl=0
large: https://www.dropbox.com/s/avol7el1r0zeob4/metamor_keep_large1.jpg?dl=0

As can be seen, this is very appropriate for a banner.

Everyone should take the time to send Ermine a personal email 
thanking her for all of the extra effort she put into this.  Her 
email is ermineart at gmail.com

Also, we were very unprofessional towards Ermine at a few points in 
this process.  Yes, this is a group effort and we did a great job 
raising the money and all, but when it came to settling on details 
and asking for changes we really pushed Ermine far beyond what she 
had expected for the price we paid.  Asking for the extra background 
details at the end upset her and we should have known better.  I 
blame myself for misunderstanding her email (Ermine was really asking 
if people's clothing colors were right, or anything small that could 
be easily changed, not more background stuff), but seriously, we need 
to get our act together before we try to get another group picture going.

And by getting our act together I mean we actually agree on details 
for both characters, scene, and background up front.  This nonsense 
where people toss out ideas after the picture is already done will 
not happen again.  I would love to commission Ermine again as she 
does fantastic work.  And if you do too you had best send her a 
personal email and thank her for going not just one extra mile but 
three for us.

But, we have our first picture now so please everyone savor it!

May He bless you and keep you in His grace and love,

Charles Matthias
