Incredibly disappointed with the paintings

[Altena]

Item limit needs to be doubled(at bare minimum) long before ANY more furniture is added.

Lol I wouldn't go thattttt far to say they shouldn't release any new furnishings until then..... That's like penalising us for no reason :P

I think Small houses are fine, and Medium aren't too horrible... But large - for the space we get, it's very difficult to fill it without artificially making our rooms smaller with partitions etc or skimping on any kind of detail.. But yes we definitely need more slots..

Okay, double checked and it's only that a lot of them are the ugly sepia, but a lot of them are normal colors as well.

He's a pretty bad painter if that's all we're getting :/

I'm disappointed that the 'Joyful Painter' looks utterly depressed and has nothing to say

And that's why he's sad because he knows he's a hack.

Four or five paintings per category are actual colored paintings, categorized as landscapes, quite beautiful too. But the vast majority of them, the ones unlocked by doing the Sightseeing Logs, are just rusty red and ugly, like a badly developed photograph. There's not much of a point in having the option to unlock all those beautiful vistas (and again, if you've done your sightseeing log properly you know its potential) just to have an ugly monochromatic rendition of them.

Just compare this painting with its vista. Or this one and this vista. Or this one and this one. Or this ridiculous rendition of this.

So much wasted potential, I can't believe they couldn't spare an intern to fly around in developer mode and take a few screenshots.

I actually really like the Sightseeing log pictures and wouldn't necessarily want differing screenshots. The angle and all is often very nice
I just..honestly expected them to take that red/brown filter off..like, I'm actually shocked they didn't .-.

When we eventually get HW pictures, are they gonna have that grey/yellow filter on them too?
Please remove the filter, SE ;-;
It works okay for a few of them, but most are really just kind of ruined that way :|

I feel they missed an opportunity here. The Joyful Painter should have an afro!


He's obviously supposed to be an reference to Bob Ross.

Both do landscapes.

50 shades of brown

Just to highlight the difference. Here is a two second photoshop crop. I didn't make any adjustments to the picture or add any effects save resizing your screenies.

It's kinda weird that he's put a sepia tone to everything, as that's less of a painting thing and more closely tied to photography. Could it be that the painter is so joyful because he's actually just selling mass-produced photographs and making a killing doing so?
