    I've always quite fancied the idea of being able to write your own in game books and displaying them in your house.

    Though I can only imagine what some of the community here would be writing! ;)
    Sweetrolls for all!

    this is a good idea. Though I would prefer a music creator before painting ;). Some of my fondest memories in games prior are writing music. Painting is hard to police as you can have people paint....inappropriate things.

    I can't paint in real life, it would be terribly embarassing if my characters were better painters than me.

    I'm actually embarrassed to admit, I can't really shoot fireballs in real life. *sob*

    I guess I could work on that six pack but I digress ... while I would absolutely love the idea of the OP I fear that the implementation at least would take forever.

    How about a contest? We send our contribution of a certain size and format to ZOS and they draw some winners. The prize of the winners would be to have their picture in game for everyone to enjoy.

    Heheh. My vampire is the most narcissistic character you can ever find, and she would totally cover the walls of her house with paintings of herself.

    I support this.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    How would this work though? I feel like people can't be able to draw whatever unless you want people having pictures of cars and superheroes on their walls in an elder scrolls game.

    Let them paint and increase the Lusty Argonian Maid "fanart" by 100%

    Not like the 34th law of the Internet has enough material to work with.

    They would only be able to paint things that are in the game... like landscapes, objects, portraits of other characters, etc. That's the way it works in the Sims. You basically screenshot what you want to paint and then your Sim stands at an easel and paints it. It's actually pretty cool. So no opportunity to paint anything more "naughty" than another character in their ugly underwear. I think we can all live with that! LOL

    I'll never forget taking my first boat trip in archeage, sailing the high seas. We were in the middle of nowhere in the ocean and saw a ship in the distance, his sail majestically waving with the breeze. Then we saw it.....the giant head of Nicholas Cage on the sail. >.>

    I've seen this happen in many games that allow in game art and picture making. There are some great artists out there and it raises copywrite and trademark issues to the point if you made a picture resembling certain companies logos or characters you would be banned. Then there are those thst abuse it making swasikas various body parts etc. Still a lot of fun when not inappropriate.

    There is subtle beauty to a Modryn Oreyn style painting. If they add this the first painting I will hang is a Modryn Oreyn Replica.

    Indeed, we MUST be able to purchase this masterpiece!

    Of course not. I mean, where is the oven???
