2 or 5 is Stygian Dragon


17 is Exodus if you ask me and 24 seems to be a Dark Father. :)


Maybe a question for the A&A : Can the person (Eric Polak.) who made the art tell us who everyone is? :)

After they sell all the current prints, it would be nice if they could do a "knockoff" that the rest of us could afford...

Just sayin....:mad:

It's time to release the final three pieces for our Anniversary puzzle. This should allow you to finish the artwork and get a nice impression of the complete piece.


If you like what our Artist has created, head to the Bioware store. The artwork is available as a lithograph over there. Check it out!

Also available in the store to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Ultima Online is a new tshirt. Take a look.
I will have one of these in a picture frame and one to wear. Dunno about the art though, the design looks really nice. I would like to see a BPA free thermos with the print that is on the shirt on the thermos or even a mug.

You could be right. :)

You know who that skeleton in the hood could be? Juo'Nar? He was the one that attacked Trinsic with the undead.

$65 is what you would expect to pay for a Limited Edition large print from a top of the line well known artist (Brom, Elmore). 300 is a little high in a LE set.

The pricing and numbering are a little out of whack, but not too badly. I would say $45 would be a more accurate price point for something like this.

No, a cloth map would have been a no brainer. It is easily the most requested real life, physical UO related thing.
I think it would be awesome for EA to offer both...the cloth map and the lapel pin.

I know I treasure mine, and it would be great if players who came after these items were available could get them as well!

According to Ultima Codex, 7 is a shadowlord
Well, Ultima Codex is wrong. And if they aren't, then its worth noting for the dev team its generally not a good idea to make up a face for a creature that traditionally has none. Didn't the action figure of Doctor Claw from Inspector Gadget teach people anything?

it's worth noting that it's generally not a good idea to take an iconic UO-specific character, whom everybody has seen many times over the last 10 or 11 years and who even have statues of her, and make her a blonde.

Anybody who can take an iconic figure and make her a blonde after over 10 years of history, including comic book art, actual, physical game boxes, her in-game representation, and even the little Dawn statue I have in my tower, is capable of saying to themselves "since Shadowlords wear a hood and have red eyes, I'm going to give them a reptilian-looking face".

At least with the Shadowlords, we don't know what they look like so you can take some artistic liberaties. But Dawn? Yeah, we know exactly what she looks like.

And if it's not Dawn, but instead "Lady British" then everybody should be really offended.

Wasn't the original Dawn blond?
Depends on what you mean by original and by blond - she had lighter hair in some of the early client art, but still more light brown (or really dark/dirty blond ;-) ) but in the LBR box art, the comic book art, the LBR launchsite, and in what we were used to in the game for the last several years, she was definitely dark haired. I'm looking at the LBR box now.

This is some of the launch art that matches the statue most of us have

Still not sure what possessed them to make her a full blond, that was just kind of wrong given how some were attached to her character and story. Worse than putting a face on the Shadowlords.

Now turning Minax into a scantily-clad maid, I'm all on board with :banana:

I do like the lithograph though, just not at $65.
