📋 About This Mod
Vanilla Daggerfall contains six paintings that can be placed in buildings. As I've been overhauling the NPC houses for a forthcoming mod I decided to create some new painting models in a similar style to display in the houses to increase the variety and lessen the tedium.
There are currently twenty two painting models overall, both vanilla pixelated paintings and an optional pack of HD versions for D. R. E. A. M. players. I may or may not add to this.

To install: Use the Vortex Mod Manager or copy the .dfmod files directly into your StreamingAssets/Mods folder.
Caveat: I can't paint. At all. Even my stick-men are wonky. I didn't want to pilfer existing art directly from Google Images and I can't afford to commission anyone to paint any. So these are AI generated paintings. I used Dream by Wombo because it gave the most fitting results. In order to give some vague whiff of originality, I used my own personal photos as a basis for the generator along with basic keywords.
These pictures are not meant to be enjoyed as art, but rather a vague hint of art to briefly glance at while you are going to give Mordistair Yeoming that the ghost haunting his outhouse is dealt with and he owes you coin.
I'm not incredibly comfortable with AI generated art, so I'm happy if anyone wants to volunteer to paint me some replacements.
