Please make paintings more colorful.

Most of new paintings are so unappealing because of sepia/desaturated colors.

So instead of blue mountains of Snowcloack we got this

And instead of green forest of Urths Gift we got this

Some pictures like Seedbed are a complete mess

There are like only 10 pictures I'd seriously consider putting on my wall, and the rest are not very attractive at all.

It seems wrong to me that the ones you work hardest to get (those unlocked by the ARR Sightseeing Log) are visually the least appealing. Some of them are so dark you can't really see what they are and the reddish sepia tone renders everything dull and washed out. Most of the sightseeing log paintings don't do any justice to the scenes they depict.

Agreed. They are all so dark D:
Also, would love to have the option to upload my wedding picture for a portrait. Not like it's our special day or anything, not worth Unending Journey recording...
Sarcasm aside, and it would belong to another thread about "why can't we have at least a small version of our wedding video in the Unending Journey?", at least let us have our wedding portrait within the painting options ;_;

To still answer that questiion: The Unending Journey doesnt record anything, its just placing your character - and ONLY your character - in that cutscene again. The wedding would look very sad with only you getting married to no one and with no guests... so thats why its not in it, there is basically no point (and like actually saving it for every character would take up waaaay to much spaces - right now the game only has to check if you can watch that cutscene or not and then play it, so for your character its basically only "unlocked/not unlocked" that has to be saved)

50 shades of brown...

I made about 15 Grade 2 Picture Frames and put a few up for sale. They weren't priced that high, but they weren't selling. I previewed the available pictures for them and then understood. The pictures are so ugly no one wants them. :(

Agreed 100%.
I was very disappointed when I saw that the Sightseeing Log paintings were uglier than the standard ones.

Agree with OP. These pictures need more vibrant colors, or even just their natural colors should've been standard.

Have to agree with op here.

I much prefer vibrant and realistic representations if possible one day, including framing our own personal screenshots please!!! (which would be my personal preference) :)

What question are you answering? I know it doesn't record anything and that it's about default cutscenes that are replaying with your current character in them. Also I understand why we don't have the full video of our wedding since we need all our other friends in it. I mentioned sarcasm, and I probably used the word "recording" wrongly. Still, was being sarcastic and comparing to real life stating it is indeed an important day in our lives and therefore deserving a little bit more than a cake, like um... a portrait maybe? Or! A SMALL section of the wedding cutscene, like the part where we are floating to kiss! And again, this would belong to another thread since this one is about portraits.
But yeah, thank you I guess for your... answer?

So yeah, please make that thread to make it possible to tell you that individualisied paintings and actual saving of cutscenes are a waste of resssource since they had to save all of that for each and every single character (that gets married). I tried to explain that to you since you dont seem to understand the issue (still requesting a cutscene to be actually saved, with another person in it - with the current system thats just not possible)

I agree that the paintings we have can use a bit more colour though! So yeah... rather use time and ressources to take care of that and not to give us individual paintings of our weddings...

Huh what I can rewatch my eternal bonding ceremony???

...I can't find it.

You don't have to keep "explaining" and/or denying things to me. I'm only expressing my wishes for portraits in this thread and made a reference which, in my eyes, didn't seem too abstract for SE to fulfill. Thank you for your effort again, and can you leave the confirming/denying wishes to the SE staff maybe?

I support this. I was so hyped about paintings, especially since I took the time months ago to complete my sightseeing log, but my enthusiasm quickly died away when I saw everything was brown-red. :(

I saw all of those views myself, I know how beautiful they can be, you guys know it even better than us because you selected them, and it's really a shame that the paintings don't do them justice.

So I was joking about how the paintings are 50 shades of brown, then I noticed recently there's a sequel to the movie call 50 shades darker. So... more colors coming soon maybe?
