[Mkguild] Metamor Keep Group Painting Complete

[christian okane]

The picture is fantastic and well worth the effort!

   I do apologize if we upset her but we were paying for product and were
not happy. I do not understand how asking for a small change was so much
trouble. Having dealt with the buying public I can tell you we were VERY
mild. But Still I apologize if we upset her. And what is her email so I can
thank her?

   And I really wouldn't mind having her do other art. But perhaps we can
have another artist do the next one.

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
