Report #1490
Skillset: Arts Skill: SuperiorPaintings
 Org: Ebonguard Status: Completed Nov 2016
Furies' Decision:
A solution of a similar nature to those suggested will be implemented.
Problem: Right now, the only way to create custom paintings is to "cheat" the
system by reworking an aether room to look like a painting and then paint a
landscape. It would be nice to actually be able to just make a custom painting
without feeling that it is quite as awkward from an IC-standpoint.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Add a new option to Arts, SuperiorPaintings. This
 will allow you to work with a blank painting. You
 can edit its description, and edit its extended
 description. The extended description will put you
 in the editor (like a manse room). Finally, add a
 "complete" command that will "lock" the painting into
 its final form (this will allow you to work with your
 painting until it is to your satisfaction until it
 looks just the way you want it, and then it can't be
 changed any more). Until it is finished, have the
 word "(DRAFT)" at the beginning of the extended
 description, to make it obvious it's still in
 progress.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Add an easel in Artisan. A person would need to be
 in a room with an easel in order to draw a superior
 painting (but since it is furniture, one could
 actually place these in organizations, or have an
 arts room, etc).
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3: There is an artifact that allows writing when not at
 a desk. Allow this artifact to also be used for
 superior paintings when not at an easel.

Support for all, just make sure it's not abuseable when not masochistic to avoid
combat.

These all sound good to me.

Support the addition of all three solutions

Support all solutions.
---[Salome on 10/10 @ 19:02 writes]:
Support all solutions, and add them all. Allow the easel to be transportable as
per an artifact, like a clipboard.

Support for all three solutions. Would prefer having solution 2+3.
