We have some more items in the same vein in the pipe, notably a simple painting for walls, but feel free to suggest more.
im sure lots of artists and group players had been desperately waiting for something like this and i applaud. i love it myself too although id have to wait to do this for a long while till i could actually do something with it.
that said, however, if you are really concerned about some more income to help you out, i really think you should give us a way to gift a bought item to friends account through shop site, not only by ingame means.
i mean, i do understand well that you guys really want to avoid making this game p2w type, and do not want to make your cash items to be the currency in game but since the game world is so huge and it could take hours to get to your friends place, it is too risky for most of us to hold a cash item in inventory to travel to your friends place for hours. if you would allow us some kind of "gift" system, im pretty sure more people would feel definitely safer, such as, for example, transferring the bought item from shop to your friends accounts hearth-fire by typing in friends account name and maybe a kin secret word or whatever for confirmation (to avoid mistype). it would also be nice if we could somehow buy like 30 sketchbook pages as bulk, and gift one page each to a forum post for the posters contribution (like client modder, artist, or whoever made a great post), just like how reddit gold gift works.
