Thank you very much, great artwork face-smile.png

I especially love the portrait of Murilius: the look in his face captures his personality as I envisioned him perfectly!

I'm a little unsure if Hauke's portrait fits him very well, I characterised him as more of an old sage wise-man and administrator, usually calm and peaceable; in the portrait, he appears rather fierce, active, intense. In itself the painting looks very good and may well show him when he was thirty years younger.
Would you be interested in doing another portrait of him in the way I described? If yes we can still reuse this portrait as well for a village alderman in the planned seventh scenario, certainly no need to discard a perfectly good painting face-smile.png

The portraits of Reebaud, Maukor, and Linthesilea fit their respective characters very well face-smile.png

Best regards,
Benedikt
(just to clarify: I'm the same person you've also contacted by e-mail initially face-smile.png )

The second batch was uploaded on my codeberg. Only the loading screen is left for the Frisian campaign. I'm thinking of a scene from everyday life.
