So while perusing the new art in this publish, one particular image caught my eye in the same way noticing a large spider can...

EasterPainting.jpg

Pretty sure this is the Easter gift this year.

It appears to be a basket with eggs and two bunnies... or a line of eggs with two bunnies and rainbow over their heads. Or its a SUPER CREEPY portrait of Willy Wonka.

It's...just...not...UO.

:facepalm:

Where does one find said image?

But you're right, I hope that doesn't make it live.

Thanks but no thanks...

You guys gotta stop. I'm trying to play UO but this stuff is just too distracting. How can one not stare at that for like 5 minutes?

No kidding, this looks like something my six year old could crank out in ten minutes.

You know that old thing where if someone complains about a headache you stab them in the leg and they forget about their headache?

Well, so much for rune books being the hot topic.

This gives me an idea to decorate a place with just the horrid stuff from UO. But the bunnies they gave out the one year with the town names on them were pretty cute.

...am I the only one who thinks it's kinda cute?

I mean... not sure I'd hang it my dignified castle. But it's kinda cute.
To me, it's just another piece of art that doesn't fit the game. Though that's pretty much all of the new art. Like the art isn't even bad... it just doesn't fit to the point that most of it sticks out like a sore thumb.

I'd just be happy if they quit making the top of everything a circle!

I don't understand why everyone's up in arms about this brilliant and stunning piece of artwork. I say again in all seriousness, it is a truly a piece that belongs in UO, a perfect artistic representation of the evolution of the game. Notice the two care-bunnies comparing their neon colored pixel crack in the spirit of cooperation. They're wondering what to do with all of it because, as you can see in the background, their basket is already full with all of the rest of the junk they've hoarded. Together they endure the eternal dilemma of the modern UO player: "what crevice may I insert these pixels into now that my three castles are full?" Truly, it is a piece that speaks to our present condition.

I can't wait to hang this sublime work in my dungeon. Bravo! :thumbsup:

the rainbow between the 2 polar bears is made from the rare poo from the blackthorns bunnies?

You do not like it? What would be better? Be very specific. What should they create for Easter in UO? I would like a plant that we do not have yet, like the open pink campions, or the white poppies. You would like what?

I am not a fan of them , okay one of them, but most of you went a little nuts on this and we haven't even gotten a good look at it yet.

Did any of you expect a val day gift?

C'mn, no matter what they bring in out, you know you'll be asking, "OK, so what's the rare version of this?" I'd rather just get a transfer token for Easter.

Its going to be funny when these Easter paintings start getting permanently stuck into the world environment and are all over the place akin to those ship paintings we already see everywhere.

It has to be placed in a torture chamber. That's how modern torture methods look like. They keep you awake, force you to look at that picture while you have to listen to Kid Rock's "All summer long".

*cries *

Stop it! I will confess! Everything!

Ok did any of you send in anything creative??
No?
How many easter baskets, flowers, roses, candy, eggs, etc can you whip out and not be told stop?
I have been at the meet ups... you can ask Larisa how many complain about the gifts!
It's not easy to please most of you.
I would love more different plants.
Heck I'd love to see more pink bunnys.
If you didn't hear Mesanna, if you have an idea she can use all ideas for consideration at least 1 year in advance. Yes I said 1 year... the art guy needs the time to make it happen once the idea is approved. Meaning he has to fit it in a spare spot he is not working on content!
This goes for EVERY holiday. The Dev make out the choices and plan them way in advance.
Come on you foreign country people...send in your country's favorite gift idea... who knows....
The rest of you give the dev a few good ideas...and don't limit it to just Easter.

I like it and I will have it one up in my houses on every server!

Sometimes I feel like i'm from a different generation that was raised to be thankful for any gift/item received in real life or in game. So even if I didn't like the gift/item I would say thanks and move on.

But I feel like a different generation comes to these boards and complains about everything added to the game or stuff they feel that they are entitled to and it drives me nuts!

If you don't like the item just simply throw it in a trash can and move on.

Ok so its a giant Easter card and it shows bunnies and eggs. What should it show at Easter? Christmas puddings?. Easter cards tend to show bunnies, eggs, spring flowers and bright colours in my experience. I find it perfectly apt for Easter.
