There ya go! A ten-minute (crappy) "painting."
That's one of the Fortress Guards from my last big fort. The symbol on his head is an image of two Kobolds which was for some reason picked as our national symbol... It was on the coins, the walls and even the clothes...

Here we have a speardwarf and a female carpenter. I took it as canon that the female DF dwarves have beards. The speardwarf's shield has an image of two mountains, which is the symbol of The Honest Roughness of Buds, a dwarven civilization. The carpenter is holding that saw thing that all the carpenters have in DR's tileset. Her dress is decorated with an image of thin crosses.
If I'd bothered to check before hand, I probably would've gone with a sword or hammer dwarf so they both wouldn't be the same color. I guess I could've not based their color schemes off of their profession color, but what fun would that be?
Are the sketchy lines representative of my laziness and impatience, or is it a style choice? I guess we'll never know.
Post by: valcon on January 19, 2008, 01:26:00 am
Also about the lines, if it is a style choice, i dont mean to be rude, but to me it gives of a sense of uncertainty. i do it myself and have been struggling with it, but i'm learning that it can (depending on your stroke) help to draw out longer lines with a bit more stregth!
hope i don't seem too forward, but i figure critiquing is part of art!
speaking of which, thank you to all who have commented on mine, i appreciate the input and totally understand about the font, it was kinda a whacky decision ;P
Post by: Kagus on January 19, 2008, 01:31:00 am
Also, they look a bit thin. [STOUT] is a very important tag, you know... Can't have pansy dwarves goggling about.
But that's a pretty good drawing, I commend you good artist-person (can't say "sir" for fear of equal rights activists...).

The squiggly lines are not a style choice. I have the focus and follow through of your average gerbil, plus I somehow innately fail at drawing a decent line with the tablet. I'll do the next picture with real pens; they tend to go a bit better.

code:Engraved on the wall is an image of dwarves.
(http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/5161/dwarfcopyao3.jpg)
Vorpal Avuzmeng was never much of a trend follower. When all the other kids were tying their beards with sunberry seeds, he didn't give a damn. When the other dwarves became merchants, hunters, and axedwarves, he joined the swordsdwarf unit. And when the military sortied to fend of Okabatast and Onoludar, he went to sleep in the barracks.
Commentary: you know all those funny parts on the armour like that what seems to be one half of a giant pincer attached to his right arm? You know how items are always "studded with spikes of Giant Cave Lobster shell"? That's how I always imagined it to be. That dwarves were sticking bits and pieces of animals onto themselves.

Evil subrace of dwarves? Considering the fact that dwarves (and their overseers) commit some of the greatest atrocities (like slaughtering and eating kittens, killing innocents, desecrating entire regions for their own arrogant megamonuments, murdering traders on the slightest whim, blatant outright racist violence, anarchistic society, worshipping a god of blood, etc.) known to all in all the worlds... you'd wonder if there were a benign subrace of dwarves.
Anyway, I wasn't aware that what I drew looked evil, just imposing (which is what I would expect a super-ultra legendary dwarf to look like). I guess if you look at it from a certain way, it looks evil. Perhaps I'm influenced too much by extremist fantasy archetypes like Warhammer.

Here's a few old drawings I did for the DFMA:

I like to think my style has improved a bit since then..
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/Kyos/Unfinished/Dwarf.gif)
Glud - Runescape, not technically a dwarf per say, but only because of the racial restrictions.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/Kyos/Unfinished/SleepingDwarf.gif)
Glud(dy) again, - WoW, this was printed on a limited run T-shirt back when I was still attending classes in school. Never saw a dime.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/Kyos/Unfinished/Da17Dwarves.gif)
Gluddy + Murigrim + 15 other dwarves of various backgrounds.
Muri being the Guild Leader in a rather great Guild in WoW, gutted by twerps, lies, misinformation and deceit just so they could have a few more gits to run on pointless raids with. I'd tell you more. But I promised I would not let on details that would incriminate several major guilds on Emerald Dream. And possible destabilize the alliance for months. XD
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/Kyos/Fiction/DwarfHammer40k.gif)
Murigrim + Scar - 40k setting.
This was sometime after I discovered Dawn of War and subsequently discovered just how viscerally violent the 40k universe truly was. Heart almost sang during the CGI intro.
And that's all the dwarves I could dig out. I am currently working on a few more of them in line with DF, - we'll see what I come up with. [Not very likely now, thanks so bloody much]

I think I'll post an updated version of this sometimes around the end of this month. I'll have better GIMP skills so it should all look better, and I'll have time to make more different trees and stuff (I hate copy-pasting identical stuff all over an image).

Not quite dwarfy, but fits somewhat into DF, and I already drew it. (And I don't think I can actually draw anything else :S)
(I drew it with a pencil, traced it with a pen, scanned it with a scanner (at 2304982039482x23809428390428304 resolution. Approximately.) then threw it at Inkscape to trace it with lots and lots of smoothing. (Where the lines are a bit strange [like suddenly thin] is Inkscape's fault, but it's still prettier this way.)

-The Ultimate Dwarf Trap
Haha, this is actually based on a true story. I'm sure everyone has encountered this before, especially if you've played the old, 2 z-level version. But this one was when my metalsmith decided it would be an awesome idea to fetch the pants of a dead goblin who was incinerated by a zombie wyvern, while the Wyvern was still there.
To the guy who made zombie wyverns, I love you. They're like dragons, only harder to kill, can fly, and breathe supah fire. :P

(To the melody of "Oh my darling, Clementine"):
in a cavern, by a canyon
lay a dwarven diamond mine
population: fifty-seven
food supply: in decline
pull the lever, pull the lever
pull the lever engineer
pull the lever, pull the lever
have no conscious, have no fear
greedy nobles, requests endless
echo hollow thought the caves
nobles revel in their rices
all the peasants lowly slaves
end their suffering, end their suffering
end their suffering, engineer
end their suffering, end their suffering
pull the lever, have no fear
water flows now, thought the tunnels
out the mountain, down the side
while the nobles and the peasants
float together side by side
:D

It wasn't entirely my fault, my pen rebelled against me partway through it and I had to subdue it by use of the force, luckily Yoda himself had trained me well and I was able to finish the piece. Any failure on my part to correctly depict the dwarf in question is entirely the fault of said pen, thereby relinquishing me of any responsibility for the drawing in question. The defense rests.

Here is a sketch of your average goblin archer.
Sorry about the really low quality, but I usually only do erotic drawings, so I have little experience with males - and drawing something that's supposed to be ugly was kind of difficult/stressful.
Hope you like it, though :) :) :) :) :)

Ioric Kittencuddler: Thank you for your kind words. Well, I tried, but I suppose that is the nastiest I can come up with.
To understand my point, you might wish to look at what is probably my finest drawing thus far (the frame is by a friend and the background is lousy, I know), a succubus card for a friend's card game: http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a376/Deathworks/Cartovore%202/?action=view¤t=Card_Fanisha.png
My drawing style simply doesn't work too well with DF, but the idea of goblins with fully automatic crossbows got stuck so thoroughly in my head that I simply had to draw that cigar-smoking guy with his bolt belts.
Sorry for causing the trouble.

Hm, that little winged manga girl is really well drawn. What I meant about your other drawing was, it'd look really good if you were trying to draw a one eyed, pointy eared, long toothed, dwarf. To crossbow is pretty neato.

I was sketching a bunch of faces and this poor sap interested me enough to get a body. I figure this guy is the soapmaker who gets a bajillion hammerstrikes when the crystal glass mandate goes unfulfilled on the map with no sand. Or maybe he's the unskilled peasant who gets handed a pick and told to go carve out all that warm stone. Perhaps he's the schmuck who wanders into a dozen goblin bowman while trekking across the map to pick up the firefly corpse one of the damn cats killed.

Sorry about this somewhat OT post, but I wanted to reply to two comments on the pic I linked to.
LordNagash: What do you mean, "package"? I really don't understand what you could be referring to (I only know "package" as in cargo, backpacks, and so on). I am blindly guessing there, but do you mean male genitals with that term? If so, then I can only say that this is not an intended effect. She is to be completely female only, no male influences whatsoever.
Penguinofhonor: You do know that life is full of disappointments, don't you? I don't think we would do this thread a favor if we discussed the details of this issue here.

As for having to resize it, try saving it as .png instead of .jpg. For black and white pictures .png is vastly superior because it has better quality (no compression, which means no loss) and much much smaller file size, and most image hosting sites limit images by file size, not dimensions in pixels.

Try This One. Created on Vista, so there's a small chance it won't work, unfortunately. Try it and see. Aside from the island, there's loads of sedimentary stone, and an aqufifer beneath that. Odd. Nothing much else that could be considered interesting, though. Also, the lake freezes in winter, so I'd suggest building a large wall around it before the goblins come.

Also like the style of the shading, especially in the top half of the image, and the way the dwarf is framed by the edge of the cavern and the mountains in the distance. Gives the impression that the dwarf is almost carved out of ancient rock, just like the mountains he's been mining.

Admittedly, my art wasn't intended to be for DF, but I'm currently drawing an axedwarf.
I'm sorry to say it, but a large proportion of the art here (with the exception of a few awesome ones) looks rather depressing to me. By this I mean the overly simplified drawings, where hardly any effort has been put in to.

Most of it *was* created specifically for DF though. xD
Besides, Not everyone can draw, and I think it's more about the idea.
Sometimes I'm positively amazed when I see someone that has drawn a simple doodle that is very funny or clever.
I think I like that more than a 'I-can-draw-better-than-you' show-off.
Besides, it's the DF relevance that makes it nice either way. ^^

Seriously, the artistic styles don't even match at all, not to mention the 'Tsubaki, 2007' signature in the Goblin picture.

Nonanonymous: That's great, I'm just going to fix the typos though.
This thread makes me realize Armok has gone missing a long time.
Those typos were copied verbatim, FYI.
Is it wrong that that elf turned me on?
The art on here is amazing.
Well, I'd say it is wrong for anybody to leave their entire abdomen and arms completely exposed and only armoring the chest and legs. Partial clothing doesn't grant Spearman's Invulnerability.

Chubacca, a tip for the next time you're going to steal someone else's art: limit yourself to ripping off a single artist per forum, or at least per thread if you really need the attention, otherwise people will notice pretty quickly!
Seriously, the artistic styles don't even match at all, not to mention the 'Tsubaki, 2007' signature in the Goblin picture.
Gimmick Account,you know if my nick isnt the same on different forums that's dont mean that I'm not the Tsubaki.
And by the way this pictures was made by me at different year so ther dont look the same,im progressing in art.so please dont think that I'm some ugly stealer of others art,it's very insulting for me.
I can proof that it is my art,but it's the last what I'll done if you dont beliave me.

I'm sorry but this is the internet, where pretending to be someone else is easy. It's not a matter of me thinking that you're some lowlife that steals peoples artwork, but that you could so easily be and to be fair, that was your first post, names differed and the art work was of a wide variety of styles, so you can't really blame anyone who believed that you weren't the creator of that art. In short, yes, you do have to prove you did it if you don't want people thinking you didn't. Or, as Mohreb el Yasim suggested, you could just not care what we think.so where was gone the idee of anyone is inocent until contrair is not proven? i mean he puts his art here from wich he can have no gains (i assume the fact of some people saying oh it is cool is not a real gain) and then first reaction is:" curse, thief!"
i just wan't to shut out "Do not judge, and you will not be judged" (and yes these is not my words,it is a bit more ancient)

I agree to an extent, but anyone with an extensive amount of experience with the internet, or even not, is all to used to people signing up to a forum and, with their first ever post, attempting to convince people they are someone they are not. May not seem nice or whatever but its what a large amount of people do on the internet, so I believe it is everyone's prerogative to be cautious. I agree, people may have been somewhat politer about it, but really I think the caution is understandable.

in wich way is it bad/dangereux/disturbing for you if someone says he is XY and in reality he isn't? Why do you think that it worth it, to hurt someones feeling (in the case of he is really that XY), by supposing he is lieng? Even if there is the slices possibility that, for example R.A. Salvatore is on these forums, but if you say that you are him, then ok you can probably be him i won't ever have a possibility to verify but it doesn't hurt me even if you are lieng. I mean ok maximum i don't belive you but i won't say it for you becouse it is not my bisnis ... if you are Napoleon or Cesar and you belive it so, why should I say you that you aren't? are you hurting anyone by "being" Napoleon?

The people who try to insult others (for any reason, they may write long speeches to explain their actions but it doesn't make them sound less offensive for you) usually are the reason why there's not enough good art in some places like this. Some proud artist may ignore this thread because he doesn't want to get this kind of "greeting" and it's said.
Come on, guys, what happened to our great dwarf commune? Who are those nobles who drive you mad enough to attack your own kind? And skillful ones I must note. This may lead to extinction of legendaries, and you know, whole-peasant fortresses look dull.

Depends on where you get your vision of a kobold from. In DnD they are lizard-like, in past editions of DnD they were more like little dog men or something like that. I believe in folklore they were invisible and could could make themselves look like whatever they wanted to. But the most common appearance was a small, ugly human-like figure.

Currently my DT is a white cityscape from an alpha of infineverse or something.
Generally it's cityscapes or landscapes, other stuff just makes my cluttered desktop even more obnoxious.
In other news: did a few pen drawings of dwarves tonight. pretty crap and on too small a notebook to be of any use for digital enhancement...haven't drawn for a long time...rusty is too salient a term.
Argh. 30 typos and one unwanted browser menu popup tells me I'm too tired for keyboards and that one ...bottle of wine did the trick. Ooo, there's a bad SciFi flick on BBC2, I'll watch that for a while.

Still very rough, but I hope to be able to finish it and start coloring it sometime soon.

Thakns for the comment but for one thing, it's a human guard, not a dwarf. Maybe I wasn't too explicit in stating it, and my Ascii '@' is a little too subtle (look at his right armor strap). :P

And olon: were you using a tablet or a mouse? Either way, I like the contrast and the thick paint look. What program did you use?
Morr: What does it say when translated under the dwarf? I really like the muted colors combined with the manuscript look and style.
By the way, you aren't that (http://www.tgsa-comic.com/) Morr, are you?
If so, nice to meet you - I've really liked your work.

Not an animator, unfortunately ... an Engineer of all things ...
mendonca: I love your style - if by any chance Footkerchief is right, and you are an animator, a DF animated film looking like that would be epic. Even if it was just a 5-10 second short in Flash.
But maybe I should be, at least for the time it takes to do a 5-10 second animation .... ?

Just drew me a few doodles while bored in math class. Most of it's generic, but there (http://www.majhost.com/gallery/Artyr/Art/dwarf_fortress_doodles.jpg) you go.It's funny, and while it's just quick sketches you manage to catch some body language well I think, especially the elf, that one is hilarious.

The perspective is somewhat skewed, and the pencil lines deteriorated in the humidity and salt air when I drew it in Croatia, but I still think it's one of my best things.
Post by: MuonDecay on January 24, 2009, 05:42:45 am
It comes in a big can like spray paint and spares your old sketches from smudging and aging by sealing under a protective layer. I've used it to preserve my own sketches from high school (4 to 5 years old by now).

Yep, I have it in .xcf at 2048*1536. The only problem is that when I export it to .png it weighs 3.31Mb, which is well over imageshack's limit. 1024*768 .png is 1.33Mb so I could upload that if you want it for desktop background or something. I just uploaded it as .jpg because my upload speed is 64k so it takes ages to upload stuff.
Honestly it's not even for my desktop, I just want to see all the hilarious details. 1024 PNG would be great. You might have better luck with Tinypic (http://tinypic.com/) which isn't as popup-crazy.

Aagh ... I'll have to modify that. My imagination is more Lovecraftian - i imagine them as fat, slimy creatures made of lots of tentacles, dozens of eyes, rolling slowly like tar, hardly recognizable shape - something like Black Goat of woods after roadkill.

Which part of his facial structure says "African" to you, though? I don't see any of the hallmarks, myself. Honestly, though, I wasn't really paying attention to anything but getting the planes and values to look right, so something unintended may have crept in.

Zombie discrimination is one of the least discussed social ills in this country. I chair an advocacy group dedicated to fighting unfair stereotypes about the undead.

This reminds me affair about new Resident evil. Killing tons of europian zombies is all right but when you make african zombies, you are racist. Fun.

It burnt out her right eye before she could react, and broke her shield arm and leg. She tried to escape it, parrying like a madwoman with her spear as she crawled up the stairs, before she impaled it with a lucky strike and it went down from the pain. The she crushed its demon throat with her remaining hand. She started to use mauls some time later and was undefeated when the game finally crashed.

Anything of mine you can use for whatever.
Is this made with a programm or by hand with Acryl/Oil colors?
Either way it is Awesome and portrays the Goblins nicely!
The goblin is digital, made in Corel Painter (it's mostly airbrush and watercolor tools). Thx very much! :)

Actually there's almost no difference between goblins and snaga (lesser orcs). The LOTR even has "The Great Goblin" which was the name of an orc-ruler of a "goblin town" of orcs. They are the same species, however bigger orcs (like Uruk-Hai) were never called goblins.
At least because Uruk-Hai were homunkuli.

That is the best rendition of a DF elf I have seen I think. The face, the colors and everything just characterize the cannibalistic, filthy, non Tolkein elf so well. Great stuff as usual Bala, though your zombie could use a little more death and decay. And I'm curious, do you use one of those electronic pad and pen deals to draw on the computer? Also I find ninja's elf hilarious (of course its well drawn) because of the humongous teeth and mouth. I think that and the small round face makes him look more gobliny.Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Seriously, you have watched too much hentai :PI always imagined tentacle demons as big, fat sweaty guys with huge tentacles.
Funny, I always imagined them as giant floating squid-like things.
Same. But after just looking at the raws, they are humanoids after all. Canonically, at least. ;)
Aagh ... I'll have to modify that. My imagination is more Lovecraftian - i imagine them as fat, slimy creatures made of lots of tentacles, dozens of eyes, rolling slowly like tar, hardly recognizable shape - something like Black Goat of woods after roadkill.

I almost thought it was a 3d model rendered for a minute. buuuut, the thing with 3d models, seams and things looking like they were drawn seperately....yeah your drawing has them (well not seams). i am assuming you are using gimp or paintshop if you are losing layers due to not wanting to mess it up. Photoshop has alot of alt-ctr-z memory and lets you undo ALOT of things. you should try it. (before anyone screams at me i am not claiming he alternatives dont have it, i never used them (i have PS cs4)).

Yeah, it's me (ahrbee=RB=Ran Brown). And I am drawing stuff. This morning I finished off about 21 weeks of auto updates--we're moving, extremely poor and I work until 9pm every night, so when I get home, sleep in number one on my agenda. When I do draw, now, I'm generally working on prelim art for a webcomic about a hobo and an immortal skeletal Crusader who save the world with rock 'n roll, and also lightning bolts or something. It's written by a goon that I happen to be married to--I refuse to write his name on these forums for fear of being banned (or looked at strangely).
I'm going to scan them and set them up when I get home, sorry for the horrible long pause between my last update and now. Despite all my excuses, i really have no excuse since I drew about 93 updates back in november. :-\

Anyway, I'm planning on drawing a few things about DF (and dwarves), but sadly, not this month.
Till then, I can link this from my DA page: Dwarven Fighter-cleric (http://agnurlin.deviantart.com/art/Agnurlin-15119956)

Anyway, that elf(?) picture bothers me in a few ways. It's obviously unfinished (that's fine), but the head just looks like it's floating somewhere behind the armor. Also, the arms look like they bend backwards. :o
You're very good at texture/shading though.

As a result, it is inevitable that once appearances are in the game, I will be modding kobolds into adorable puppy people, with blue-or-tan fur and pointy-or-floppy ears.
And then I'll never be able to kill one again. :/

I approve of that kobold.Actually originally kobolds were pale-skinned creatures which lived in mines and could cause cave-ins, they were "miners' boogiemen". Later DnD took em and created a dragon-worshipping scaly race. Toady's kobolds in kobold quest are much closer to origin, although they have fur. Still they are ugly evil creatures which set up traps in caves and throw poisoned bugs at people.

I can draw you a for-boobed dragon germaphrodite and tell you that this is a spacemonkey:).
According to wiki folkloire http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobold their description is something between gnomes and elves (not tolkien but folkloire elves). This does not mean they may be raped by any artist/gamemaker, however there's a tendency to forget the folkloire and make something funny/sexy/scary to attract people.

I hate to be pedantic here. (Not really.) Scaly kobolds are specifically from 3rd edition D&D. Earlier editions were inconsistent on monster appearances, but kobolds were sometimes described as dog-like, and some other sources picked up on this.
I dunno why they changed the puppy people into baby dinosaurs.

Random trivia: the name gnoll first popped up on a typo for D&D troll figurines. When asked what a 'gnoll' was, the creators first made up some stuff about it being a gnome/troll/ghoul hybrid of some sort. Eventually they developed into the hyena people we know today. (Interestingly enough some african tribes have myths about hyena people, not called gnolls of course.)

Post by: Tormy on April 15, 2009, 06:56:25 am
Lear:Thanks! That's a big question; I think the most important thing to keep in mind is where the light source is in your picture and to render in shadows and highlights based on that and nothing else. It's also important to consider edge quality; form shadows have soft edges, cast shadows hard edges. To get good at it, there's really nothing like drawing from life, or so I hear.

One human town sacked a kobold civ ten times, and killed thousands of elves. Everyone had a title, priests, shopkeepers, almost everyone. And kobold prisoners made up a quarter of the population. :D

Well it's a bit hard to answer how much is "free-hand". I Did most of that with a few layers and fancy brushes in black and white, then made color magically appear with a gradient map. Theeeeen lots of different kinds of adjustementing and fixing with brush modes (mainly color dodge) and layers. It's pretty quick once you get a hang of it.

And I added the smiley face because it's unambiguously Dwarf Fortressy. And because I'm a filthy plagiarist who liked Three Panel Soul's idea (http://threepanelsoul.com/view.php?date=2008-04-21).

But they could use something to specify they are DF dwarves, not just from any generic fantasy. Dresses and vomit cover could do, or their actions in the animations.
Hmm, have you considered using an actual hair system for the beards? (it might be slow/hard to make look right thou, and it'd take away from the cartoony feel.)

Her crown and belt buckle menaces with spikes of microcline! And I suck at drawing clothes (and most else, I'm afraid - her hand looks like a foot). Anyway, for a 3-minute sketch (and 3 minutes adding some colour, since I only used red for the sketch), this is what came out:Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I'm not sure if that picture is still up, but earlier in the thread is a picture of a female dwarf with a beard. It was, however, not on her face.That dwarf woman has no beard if it was not on her chin. There is a reason why mustaches and beards are different things.

yup, there was that fellow with the really cute 'bold Pictures, then there was the one with the shovel, it wasnt really Rule 34worthy, and im not sure if thats what joo meant, but there ya go.No, I found stuff a lot more hardcore.

There is a burning man hovering in the air over a grille in the Smoldering Corpse Bar. His skin bubbles and chars, and flames pour from his tormented eyes, yet his expression is far away, almost as if he were reveling in the flames.

Markus
My alter ego in the fort and one of the 7 original dwarves. Calling himself the Great Architect, he built the Great Hall, a 3 level meeting hall supported by a dozen of columns.
(http://rpgforum.cz/temp/df/markus.png)
Rith
A popular NPC in the succesion game, Rith began as the butcher in the original seven. Along with his wife, the bone carver, they defended the fortress when it was necessary. Later he was appointed a sherrif. A tragedy struck one day, when his wife was pushed to a pool by a skeletal rhesus macaque and drowned. Rith has been a bit gloomy since.
(http://rpgforum.cz/temp/df/rith.png)
Sodel
The nemesis of all fortress managers, Sodel is the Mayor of Fullceilings. Also from the original seven, she often appears in the chronicles as a grey eminence who manipulates the workers and public oppinion according to her whims.

Yes, it is inspired from Gobbo's works, but a bit more serious. Sadly, I couldn't get the cute eyes to look right, so I just made triangles for eyes. He's armed with a serrated shovel, and a shield in the form of a barrel lid.

Judging by the fact that spoke of having a Drow civ immediately before the pic, and the name of the image is "drowsoldier.jpg", I'd guess it's a Drow. ;D
I'm also not fond of Drow. In DF, there need be only one Elf-like race, thank you very much. DF's version of Drow would probably be Elves that live in mountains that get upset when you mine, like how regular Elves hate it when you cut trees.

They basicaly are already upset about everything. they were driven inderground by the other elves, and they hate... EVERYTHING
so if you aply to them the geriatric hobbling the surface elves have, you end up with somthing very funny, but also an evil civ that uses primarily bows. so, ya lots of organ punctures.
Post by: Balathustrius on August 06, 2009, 12:49:49 am
I'll have to look up what a Drow is apparently.
Drow are dark elves, chaotic-evil subterranean worshipers of the spider goddess. They're totally cool.
I can't believe there are people who don't like them. Maybe you guys mean you don't like Drizzt? Drizzt isn't a drow; he's an aberration. Oh well, I respect your opinions... even though they're wrong.
Post by: Bloogonis on August 06, 2009, 01:36:23 am
story wise they are great fun, due to their Fuck the world mentality, but there are far more cool Underdark races then the drow, pale ones, and of course...
Deep Dwarfs!
dwarves sent into the underdark as a last stitch effort to save the dwarven race (sent by accident) they vecome pale with large dull eyes, but they are still dwarves. only now they are standoffish and untrusting.

Post by: Balathustrius on August 06, 2009, 02:13:39 am
I like Drow, as a concept. when implemented they often cause broken player characters or ridiculous emo shut ins.
story wise they are great fun, due to their Fuck the world mentality, but there are far more cool Underdark races then the drow, pale ones, and of course...
Yeah, as player-characters they can be problematic and overpowered, but as antagonists, they're second to none. I like the idea of my deepest mineshafts breaching a vast, world-spanning cavern system, and coming to realize that, along with all the nameless horrors of the depths, I'd also opened the way for invasion by a civilization far more advanced and far more vile than the puling goblins I'd been butchering for decades. First would come the scouts, slipping unnoticed into the fortress, then sorties and raiding parties. Then the priestesses and their legions, driving before them shock-troops, slaves ripped from the darkest pits of the earth, and once they had claimed my fortress for the Spider Queen, they would invade the surface itself!
Maybe I'll mod it. ;)

I think the term Endarkened here is a reference to Terry Pratchet's "Thud!" which discusses dwarfs that never venture above ground in their lifetimes. Said dwarfs do not consider those that live above-ground to be real dwarfs.In other words, for them, enlightened means the opposite of what it means to us. Those that live above ground are enlightened fools, while the endarkened wise dwarves live underground. Basically a parody of the whole "underground civilization" thing dwarves have.

Thanks. Hmm, no wetfinger drag tool, no. I don't actually know what that is (I'm almost a total photoshop newb). It's just the hard round brush with opacity set to pen pressure (and a quick custom brush to render the hair faster).
He was actually part of a bigger picture; me practicing faces and such. Here it is, if anyone wants to see the others.

I'm not the best at rendering faces, even something as simple as anime/manga style. I'm more into the mechanical aspect of things. In other words, I'm pretty good at rendering machines or bastardizations of nature. I'm impressed with the quality however. I wish I had that level of talent in that field.
You know, if I have the time, I'll try to render what I truly envision my project to look like. I mean, as far as my talent can go, it might look pretty cool. Plus, I need to add more life to my machine designs for a sense of scale and whatnot. Too many of them look like ghost ships and etc..
BTW, it's about time I draw something again anyhow. And with more adequate detail too. Enough quick scribbling of ideas.

(Orichalcum is a fictional metal from Norse mythology. we discussed adding it to the game in a thread about the weirder elements of the norse myths. the original plan was for it to be and alloy of copper, gold and alchohol, but I couldn't quite figure out the smelter reaction for that)
Post by: Neruz on August 18, 2009, 08:42:25 pm
Well, I did mod in a red metal called orichalcum (made of copper, gold and flux)
so I guess he's wearing that.

Orichalcum far predates the Norse, it originated with the Greeks, and it's most prominant mention is in Plato's dialogues about Atlantis. Literally translated it means "Mountain Copper" or "Mountain Metal" while the Romans translated it as "Aurichalcum", which means Gold Copper.
No-one is entirely sure what Orichalcum actually is, the most likely candidates are either Amber or a Gold-Copper alloy. Other theories suggest Silver-Copper, a Copper-Tin alloy (Bronze), a Copper-Zinc alloy (Brass) or perhaps even a metal that is no longer known.
Based on descriptions and the fact that the metal fell out of use until only a name was left, odds are it was probably either Amber or a Gold-Copper alloy similar to Tumbaga.

Atlantis was probably a fictional story inspired by composed events of the past and only ever sees mention in Plato's texts or in reference to Plato's texts, so it probably did not exist.
Additionally, Orichalcum in the modern term is used to refer to a Bronze alloy in Roman coins.

Did anybody draw planepacked?...Way ahead of ya. Didn't start thread yet though.
Because... somebody has to...
Maybe I should. Someday.
Gives me an idea to start a thread of rendering this mothercarper. Basically, everyone render parts of the statue with their interpretation, find out how it all would be placed/illustrated onto it, and well, illustrate this beauty.The only way to test that theory is to Atom-Smash Planepacked and see what happens.
A link (http://dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/Planepacked), for those who have not gazed upon is immense visage.
Pardon the derail for a moment, but I imagine in all it's glory, it would look like Trajan's Column. Yes, even we made Planepacked here. It's this dimension/reality's equivalent.
Pictures for reference:Spoiler: Full column (Hi-Res) (click to show/hide)Spoiler: Bottom portion (click to show/hide)Spoiler: Really up close (click to show/hide)Spoiler: Base (click to show/hide)
Back to topic...
I want my airship!!! But how can we atom smash that monster? It's the size of Armok's fist. :-\
EDIT:
...Wait. A. Second.
IT IS PLANEPACKED!!!!! IT'S THE REAL THING!!!!!
Proof, the statue part of it is on the top of the "column". We already did it some time ago. The "Dwarven Age" was considered, and it was sent back in time. It was said to have been completed in 113 AD. When was Planepacked finished? Or more importantly, when did we send it?
I figure a systematic deciphering of the beauty would get this taken care of properly, and in proper order.
Minor problem; keeping track of it all. Some idea of how to track it would be similar to Toady's bloom tracker by color as posted in the sticky above.
I figure we can have a progress meter marked as well. However, I think a double/triple post would be needed to contain all the text of Planepacked, as ordered by segment (like every 10 lines or so). Every member involved will take their part, and can volunteer to do additional parts if not already claimed.
It's mostly abstracting each component into individual pictures, then figuring out how the statue would look, as well as be decorated. Even the arrangement and design of the statue alone would be a task that can be assigned.
...Screw it; I'm up for tracking, and probably handling some of the bits and pieces.
Oh, and someone with massive talent should illustrate the final product. 3D designers are welcome to render it (the 2D rendering if finished first) in 3D. Or vice-versa if necessary.
We can consider this the forum megaproject.
ALRIGHT DWARVES, GET YOUR CHISELS READY! WE'VE GOT ALOT OF WORK TO DO!!!!
EDIT:
Additional notes before I get cracking on it will help. I'll allow maybe 15 or so minutes before I open it up, so I'm all ears before I start.
POST-EDIT EDIT:
You know... It doesn't help that this thing has 203 FRIGGIN' LINES!!! I will definitely need to triple post if necessary. Especially if I have to include coding for the update/progress colors. Ugh. :P
BTW, Working title right now is "FORUM MEGAPROJECT: Rendering Planepacked". I'm open to better title suggestions.

It has merits as a story, but its very unlike boatmurdered. Boatmurdered is a good portrait of 2D Dwarf Fortress. Nist Akath is just so heavily modded and his author took so many literary freedom it can't be see as such (not that it claims to be...)
Actually the early stuff is straight vanilla DF, with no modding of any kind. But the thing is, that gets boring. Because any dwarf that has been training for 10+ years is basically invincible in the current version.

Yeah, I thought they were balls of tentacles. But they have the standard head, legs, and arms. The tentacles are probably attached somewhere else.

Just playing around. I really liked the magma rivers of the 2d version, in the very depths of the mountain. It was a great undertaking to tunnel to them, bridging first the swift cave river and then the perilous chasm, leaving behind the tumult and light of the surface until the only sound was that of the ringing of the picks and the slow movement of the earth itself. You'd set up your foundries and forges on its banks, gazing longingly across its sluggish flow at the rich veins of ore and gems, just out of reach, and perhaps you'd even see the blue glint of adamantium...Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I don't think any of them have clothes, and it's more than silly to assume they have genitalia since they don't reproduce.
Given that tentacle demons are humanoid (I always imagined them more like blobs with tentacles everywhere) I guess that makes them like Doc Ock, with tentacles coming out of their back. I can't find the raw though...
They're the only Demon in the game with a gender, and that gender is always male. When you find them there is a white 'unidentified fluid' in the chamber. I'd say it's safe to say they're hentai penis tentacle monsters.
wasnt the thing from 'Species' a tentacle alien?

At first I them as blobs of tentacles, then as sort of lovecraftian creatures, but from reading the raws, and finding that they were humanoid, I now picture them this way: gangled, deformed and purple skinned humanoids with tentacles protruding from their bodies.

Also, a quick check of the raws reveals that the Tentacles have claws on the end of them, and that they attach to the Upper Body, so i'm guessing they'd come out from behind the shoulders or chest. Behind the shoulders would probably look better.
Also, that picture, at first glance his right arm appeared to be holding a thick flesh colored rod...

I removed that damn dick-arm from the picture...
though I should do one with clawed tentacles sticking out of its upper body, just for the sake of accuracy.
the leader Demon does not have wings.
that's why I gave him little decorative wings, that wouldn't actually do anything.
Also, the SOF can fly, and it doesn't have wings either; but I don't think the DF raw files can recognize that something made of fire would be lighter than air.

Fault, those demons are great, especially the fiery ones. I regret missing the one with the phallic arm. What program are you painting in, did you say?
Mike Mayday, I lurve your dwarves!
I went back to that last painting and revised it; I decided it was sort of dull and unfinished looking.

it takes me like three hours in MS paint to colour things though.Probably, just the fact that you can colour on a layer beneath the lines is a huge help in speeding things up.

I can colour under the lines in paint. I use the right click on the eraser tool to pick out white areas and ignore black lines. The eraser is too big for fine detail, though.
Yeah, I imagine if you had photoshop these would look even better. The multiple layers thing is a blessing.

There wouldn't be that many chunks if the head came off cleanly, but there probably would be more blood. Circulatory systems are very high pressure.Actually, without a connection to the brain, the heart stops beating, the only blood that would come out is leakage from the head or neck
-though with high blood pressure as you say, there would be a small spurt. for the sake of balance I'd say that's accurate enough gore.
Post by: Dae on September 05, 2009, 07:22:42 am
Actually, without a connection to the brain, the heart stops beating,
I'm quite sure it still does, though the beat rate cannot be regulated anymore. Just take people with a transplanted heart : no nervous connection is repaired, though the heart (fortunately) keeps beating. However, it beats usually too fast and cannot adapt its rate to the owner's needs (like when running).
Post by: Hungry on September 05, 2009, 08:40:12 am
*thinks that the DF heart would keep pumping at full until moment of decease, so the way that elf is squeezing his neck it to keep from being drowned in dwarf blood*
Actually the freshly severed human head is still mostly alive, and takes over a minute to fully die...desides it gives time for final thaughts...until you go naturally comatose, and then brain dead.
And a human heart can still pump, after losing connection to the brain, but it "looses track" due to the loss of bodys time regulation nodes in the central brain...
*Has too much anatomical knowlege*

I was actually worried about it looking that way initially, but then I realized that a clown nose would be even more terrifying than an eyebeam shooting central eye.

It's teeth makes it look too carnivorous though dark gnomes don't have any carnivore tokens and they have five fingers and toes.

A demon-god made out of a hundred trooping legs, a thousand beady staring eyes, ten thousand long screaming sineus throats, a hundred thousand gashing gnawing grinding spining maws, and a curved menacing metalic sawtoothed spikes. It is fighting a being made out of light, it's shape is fractal, its form is brilliant, it's spirit is shining, it's heart is leading, it's eyes are shining, it's tendrils are protecting, it's judgement is just, it's mouth is crying. The battle is taking place on a great plain, under three suns, one red one green one blue, across the plain are gargantuan futuristic ruins from aeons long past strewn abaut, and hugging the ruins like scared rabbits are the occasional bronze age village.

Mike... can I call you mike?Sure thing! What am I, some goddamn celebrity?
Um... When will you have the 64x64 tileset ready?Dunno!
I'm working on it. Actually only just started (I intend it to be pseudo-iso already, for future use in better, more isometric times). So right now I'm learning how to make isometric sprites. It's not going very well. (http://mayday.w.staszic.waw.pl/gobticons/meh.gif)
(http://mayday.w.staszic.waw.pl/~mayday/upload/isodwarves.png)
Also, I think I broke the 64px limit. Oops. So the tileset will prolly not be usable until the next major release (Baughn promised me to implement mipmaps. Ok, maybe he didn't promise it but they're coming).

Now abaut the request:
O_O
That is simply amazing, really good, I wasnt sure anyone were actually going to do it, and I certanly didnt think they were going to do it this well! Thanks! ^_^
I did't quite inagine "the heart is leadng" quite that literal. :p
If to want some criticism: you character desigs are utterly awesome, as are the ruins, but i Do think you need to think about the light a bit more.
- the being of light is to yellow, it looks like it was fire or even yellow fur, more than being made of living light almost. consider simply adding some blurry white on top of it. (thou, not possible in point, so that might be why.)
- the scene looks like it's lit from behind the camera, but the suns are all in the picture!
- likewise, the shy has a whiteish gradient towards some point above the suns and the suns are solid blocks of colour. Real stars more likely would be white on the disk itself, but the colour visible from the sky-covering glow around it. Also, binary and trinary systems, if the stars are in the same poisition in the sky I think it's unlikely they are also the same size.
- shadows?
- the villages are small, and hard to see. not sure if this is an actual flaw thou, but it's something top think abaut.
- the demon abnomination thingy has a very good sense of motion, the being of light is not bad, but not as good as the demon.
Post by: Fault on September 08, 2009, 05:06:57 pm
Oh, and since you're making a big fuss about depicting the three suns properly, I should tell you that while you're right about trinary star systems and their size relations, A flaw in your request is that green stars do not exist. They only come in blue, red, and yellow and white.
EDIT: Here's a character study of the light god.

Behold, a picture of a Miner Dorf.
100% Photoshop, no tracing or references. Done in 3-4 hours today. I just finished it now.
He is decorated with eyes of microcline and Menaces with spikes.
(http://lh5.ggpht.com/_P8YAWtpSSf8/SqcbDQYgk8I/AAAAAAAAAaU/OqI6SaWNY60/s800/Dorf.png)
Note: This takes place inside a single-tile wide cave hallway made of obsidian.
Added Note: The picture is quite modular, so I can modify it in many ways. Ranging from different classes to different environments. And if possible, expressions. And I did notice he lacks eyelashes, but those were burned off due to local heat sources.

But of course he's communist, comrade (unless the fortress economy has been turned on). He, and the others with him, work according to their ability to make whatever is needed. The means of production, held in common by the workers, are distributed to those who need them. Those who come in claiming to be better by birth, and making production orders, are executed for their impudence and crimes against the people. Orders are sent from a central committee, and no production can occur without them. And any implications that this only works correctly because Dwarf Fortress has plants growing too quickly and feeding too well / making too many clothes, and thus doesn't represent shortages correctly, is imperialist capitalist propaganda!
Seriously, though, he does look rather a lot like Che Guevara...

Its the other way around: communists are secretly dwarves who have infiltrated human society.
Ducim is definately cool, but am I the only one who sees an evil-duck/alien-leech-parasite type thing on his head instead of a beret/flop hat?

Yeah - I used a reference for the proportions but had to massively edit it to make it dwarfish. I thought It would come out better using references that way, but all the weighting looks ridiculous now. There's a lot of wonkiness in general. Next time I'll do a bunch of thumbnails and prepare properly.
BTW good choice not adding a mouth to the demon. Leaves a lot of suspense in the "guess which way is the dwarf going to be mauled/disemboweled/consumed" department.

Spreggos dwarves are epic, but the facial expressions all look like they've been hitting the rope reed a bit.
For some reason I picture dwarves as either extremely relaxed or extremely excited. On days not spent drawing the organs from their foes, I suspect a dwarf relaxes with stone mug of creamy ale and a good pipe.
What's in the pipe is another question...
Post by: Fault on September 09, 2009, 07:42:38 pm
It kind of relates to dwarves either being really mellow or really pissed off.

the first game I played that had kobolds in it was world of warcraft, and their depiction of them has been ingrained into my mind. I can't picture the lizardlike D'n'D kobolds, they just don't look right to me. Kobolds will always be hairy, mangy rat-goat-dog men in my view.
Same here ;)

I'm not even going to do the being of light or the background or anything... probably just him.
Actually, I don't sketch much, so thanks for inspiring me to do so! It's quite enjoyable!

Speaking of cruel and unpleasant, I've suddenly realized that my demon really does have merit.
Look at it: it's a combination of a hippo (lower jaw(s)), a carp (upper jaw) and a spider (eyes).

P.S. Also what's with "cute" kobolds meme? They stab people to death with poisoned daggers and throw venomous bugs at travellers, they live in smelly caves and build traps and dig holes to kill unaware people. They are nasty little critters exporting nuisance and receiving death.

Gee, I was starting to think that there was some secret art pack that I didn't know about, and that the appearance of kobolds was somehow set in stone by Toady himself. You know, rather than being "k."
Yeah, it's copper, since kobolds don't have steel or iron. As far as I know, there's nothing in the game to prevent kobolds from wearing armor, so if he pounded out of a bunch of copper daggers or something to make it it's free game as far as I'm concerned.

Well, since you asked...
# Core90, PROPER KOBOLDS, (Future): Of course, this means different things to different people. To us, a proper kobold is neither a chihuahua man nor a mini-draconian, but instead sort of a small mammaloreptilian humanoid with pointy ears and yellow eyes with a penchant for trickery and mischief, context-based sublanguage, poisonous critter collection, traps and kleptomaniacal hoarding.

Post by: smjjames on September 11, 2009, 08:28:49 pm
Gee, I was starting to think that there was some secret art pack that I didn't know about, and that the appearance of kobolds was somehow set in stone by Toady himself. You know, rather than being "k."
Well, since you asked...
# Core90, PROPER KOBOLDS, (Future): Of course, this means different things to different people. To us, a proper kobold is neither a chihuahua man nor a mini-draconian, but instead sort of a small mammaloreptilian humanoid with pointy ears and yellow eyes with a penchant for trickery and mischief, context-based sublanguage, poisonous critter collection, traps and kleptomaniacal hoarding.
This sounds alot like the Jawas. Although nobody knows what a jawa really look like, but they are probably rodent-like reptomammals.

I don't usually add pupils to supernatural creatures, like elves and goblins. It sets them apart from [MUNDANE] creatures. But I did make a mistake on the elf pic. On all my other ones, the sclera is coloured in, or shaded, not blank white.
I think the lack of pupils was inspired by Mike mignola's Hellboy, in which humans are usually the only characters with pupils, or from Egoraptor's Awesome Series, wherein exaggerated character design is usually accompanied by manic-looking white eyes.

It's the 'I though I told you to clean up your room!' look.
And I can totally imagine them looking like that after you cut down a bunch of trees.
Post by: Neruz on September 12, 2009, 05:34:43 am
That seems to match the DF Elves better (in my mind) than the usual Tolkien depiction, since the DF Elves are really entirely not even remotely like the standard cookie-cutter Elf (cannibalistic, enjoy trapping and slaughtering innocent animals, madly in love with trees to the point where they don't even build structures, really fast and surprisingly savage.) DF's Elves always came across as a sort of primitive raving tribal culture with a hard on for trees, as opposed to the usual 'old, wise, more awesomer than you' Tolkien Elves.

yeah. The pen-and-ink style I use doesn't allow a lot of detail to go into the face. my Elves have hair, narrower heads, and smaller eyes to differentiate them from goblins.
Your impressive noir art style forces me to conclude that you must draw an elven Dick Tracy look-alike.
He's a good detective, but the force is on him about always eating the perps before they can question them.

It's teenagers we have to worry about. Also NSFW doesn't have anything to do with children. It's about big dads at work.
As a final argument, a board for a game where you kill parents with entrails of their children and where you use kittens as alarms for a goblin thieves shouldn't have any children in the first place.
Let's avoid this discussion though. You've proved that your arguments lack determination, and I've put the spoiler on. So it's done.

Nice pic, good anatomy and detail. I think it's a bit too muscular to be a DF elf though.
I notice she has green skin. In my personal opinion, elves have green blood and photosynthesis, but in DF they have red blood, so I assume they have a human-like skin tone.
Oh man, another webcomic I`ll have to follow. As if I am not spending too much time on internet already :)

Also skin color may be greenish even if you have red blood, there's no strict correlation. DF elves may have blueish, reddish or greenish skin, any. I just think that this way they are closer to the trees :).

I always imagined Bronze Colossi as looking like they have armour on, like the moving statues from "Jason and the Argonauts". In a sense, they have armour, because they are the armour.
In any case, here's my contribution to the thread:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v44/Maccabeus/Dwarf_Fortress/calovicomale.png)
Calovi Çomale (Graspingleaves, thus why she's grasping the closest thing a cedar has to a leaf), elven animal caretaker. She doesn't have any animals with her, as I'm not sure what animals her civ would use to take care of. I suppose the reason she looks so wistful is because the cedar the thing she's holding came from met a bad end at the hands of a human or dwarf.
And yes, I'm aware her right leg looks shorter than the left. I still need to work some on proportion.

Pretty cool Bronze Colossus. Although I always imagined them as bieng more statue-like and less of a mecha.The bronze colossus is most likely to have been designed by dwarves, the story goes like this:
Seriously though, it looks like ancient dwarves might have designed that thing.
The great ancient dwarvern race, the smartest creatures that were to ever exist. After a long period of hardship they have driven the HFS underground and sealed them in. they relax and have a major baby boom. The artisans finally have creative freedom, so they decide to build a giant complex megaproject to display their intellect -a giant invincible colossus. after it is finished the entire race gathers to celebrate with alcohol made from every plant known to dwarf, they are modest drinkers, but it is a special occasion. One dwarf, a cheap drunk, stumbles into the activation lever. The colossus activates prematurely and disconnects from the magma pump before fully filled. in the confusion a splash of magma spills before the floodgate closes, landing on the booze supply. The colossus' nascent mind likens the flaming chaos to the concept of 'the pit' as the dwarfs compiled a basic cognitive memory for the colossus before the accident. every older dwarf burns to death, the young are left squabbling in the ashes, brains -damaged by the blast, future -no longer guided with wisdom, their only early memories -alcohol soaked. noticing that he is not fully powered and therefore not invincible, the colossus attempts to pull the lever to finish the process, his giant hands only succeed in breaking it. This pushes his mind over the brink, reverting to a paranoid point of view that any technologically advanced civ must be crushed before it threatens him, so he eternally roams the land in search of enlightened races, destroying their constructions so he can forge his own invincibility...
He would come back centuries later to find the dwarves overall incompetence disturbing, their basic grasp of engineering derived from the few writings that weren't destroyed in the fire. He would rather the dwarvern race be extinguished than this foul bastardization.
*phew*

My impression of the collosus would make more sense after the magic ark.
i pictured it as being created long in the past by dwarves who animated it much in the fassion of a golem (magic engavings in or on head that not anly give it life but are basically programming) and it went on a murderous rampage cause someone screwed up the engravings telling it who is friend and who is foe. or perhaps the engravings were damaged somehow.
the shape would be a huge dwarf in plate armour. the armour would have intricate engravings all over it telling the whole history of the dwarves that made it.

to handwave that i imagine the pumps like this
you have a standard corckscrew like the one with the soon to be dead goblin. then to make a pump the strap piping to it (the pipe section) along it's length (along the metal)this is more or less what i thought an achemedes screw was anyway.
edit upon closer inspection both versions would function the same way just my version doesn't requre quantum corkscrews that change depending on their use.

As far as ratmen, they would have rounder ears and tails (which kobolds don't have I think).
Post by: Spreggo on September 17, 2009, 12:18:20 pm
They are sort of flattened fangs with drool coming off them. My explanation is that they only look rodent-like superficially, having reptilian biological features but requiring fur as an adaptation to cold climates - especially since they seem to be nocturnal.

I wanted to gauge interest and see if anyone wants to start a thread for drawing and painting. We could do a dwarf-a-day or something like that, share resources, and do serious critiques. It would sort of be like what they do over at the conceptart.org forums except maybe a little less intimidating than it is over there.
We could compile references, tutorials, demonstrations and practical advice in the first post of the thread. I think we could keep each other motivated and build on each other's energy. Plus, DF provides an infinite supply of subject material.
I went to art-school, where I didn't learn how to draw or paint (wrong major), but I did gain a lot of practical experience in balancing group critique with individual artistic style. I think, that with a little effort, everyone involved could gain a lot from the consistent practice it might provide.
So, let me know if you are interested!

Yeah it would go in there, it would be a long term thread like this one, but more focused on the art-making aspect and less on the awesome factor. I want to get several people on board if possible, since that's what it would take to get it going.

I think you can buy replacement pens for pretty cheap, I know mine has been acting up a bit too....
We could do traditional materials as a group to if we decide too go that route.
Post by: Vester on September 17, 2009, 10:52:42 pm
How would we go about with traditional materials?
You need to adjust the distance sensitivity.
I already did.
I think something's loose inside, because when I pulled off the sheath and poked at it for a while, then put it back on, it worked fine. Then I bumped it on the edge of the table and it went all wonky.
Post by: Spreggo on September 17, 2009, 10:58:37 pm
How would we go about with traditional materials?
Well we could share information (websites etc) that have information of master techniques and things. Also we could organize projects with an emphasis on a certain technique/material/theme and then share advice about the finished works.

Yep I gave it a forked tongue and a drooling problem, to build up the reptilian aspect.
I did some sketches to try and figure out what their bodies are shaped like, and I ended up giving them three toes and a backwards facing dinosaur toe on the back of their heel. That seems to be the reptilian method of providing balance and some gripping ability (raptors/birds) to the feet.

I'm writing up the first post, but its going to be basically an introduction and then the rest is compiled from the thread itself. So whatever resources anyone submits, or projects we come up with will be added to the original post. If the way I organize it stupid/irrelevant/despotic then we can just change it.

So, enjoy this quickly drawn sketch of the joke.
I find it funny how there's almost no way to find the gender of a creature but by looking at that small symbol (m/f) in their profile.
It's even more hillarious when your best champion who you consider to be a badass thug gives birth right on a battlefield... It was a girl!
This one is called "Racial misunderstanding". Dwarves and elves have troubles telling the difference between genders, this dispute may even lead to a violence!

Anyway, those have to be the funniest "Samus is a girl" moments to encounter. I had that happen before. It's hard to tell them apart with their names; no distinction between either gender.
I never knew Olin was bot male and female names.
And a funny thought came to mind: The Dorf Triplets from Newhurt

My only two criticisms is the GAY written at the bottom(I can see a vague joke, but the bizarreness of the appearance can pull it off much less awkwardly), and the elves look too masculine. They both have rather wide shoulders and thin hips. You are going to want to accent those and make them more feminine. Think Raiden from MGS2. Child. Bearing. Hips.Both criticisms are accepted, and the groundhog there saying "gay" is definitely not a clever joke. I just decided to do it in the last moments :D.

nice dwarf, sindayven.
it really looks like it's engraved in stone... what program did you use to do that?
A simple trick I used in Adobe Photoshop. I made a layer with a stroke effect that matched the background texture, and then gave it a bevel that matched the stroke's size. I set my brush to adjust fill rate to pressure and "chiselled" away at the stone surface with my tablet pen.
Also, I've decided to retroactively make that sconce a bit less of an eyesore, as per the feedback.

I find the captioning humorous because I'm sure no-one who kills giant spiders with a war hammer would ever, EVER, say "Desperate to fell the beast, I struck at its cephalothorax..." even to the most literate audience.
I'm sure no-one who kills giant spiders with a warhammer even remembers that it's called that. Blame DF for being ridiculously accurate about anatomy (well, except for where a spider's heart is, but that's a minor point), I suppose. I know Urist here would probably just say, "Eh, I was just squishing a bug". ;D

It needs some fire and smoke spewing out of it. Looks more like a borehole or something to me.
I have to disagree. This pit just look like there is blinding light in the bottom, which looks fine to me.
Yet, I would love to some HFS-metal nearby. I don't really know why, but I always thought said HFS-metal had a particular glow under the glowing pit light. Although I wouldn't be able to describe it.
Maybe glowing brightly while darkening the air around would look interesting.

In worlds that have both Mithril and Adamantium though, then Mithril usually gets the shimmering white metal color and Adamantium gets something more exotic; a sort of bright teal like in DF seems to be common, other common colors i've seen are a deep purple-black or red-black and occasionally a silver-orange.

Traditionally Mithril\Adamantium are 'silvery', usually considered very shiny white metals (not unlike Titanium.)
In worlds that have both Mithril and Adamantium though, then Mithril usually gets the shimmering white metal color and Adamantium gets something more exotic; a sort of bright teal like in DF seems to be common, other common colors i've seen are a deep purple-black or red-black and occasionally a silver-orange.
I always think of mithril as bright, shining silver with a slight blue tinge.

Digimon.
Wait.... what?
Digimon is a Japanese anime dood.
The difference between western TV and Japanese anime is:
Western shows fall almost always into three categories; Comedy, Drama, and "Reality".
Cartoons in the west either fall into; Comedy, or Childrens shows.
In Japan, anime is a valid and accepted media used for a broad range of subjects and maturity levels.
Calling someone who appreciates anime a total geek is the same thing as calling someone who likes western cartoons a complete moron.

I don't see how a system of representing forms can preclude any content/message that the artist might want it to carry.
Here's an anecdote that describes what I think these arguments are actually about:
When I was in art school, the students who were anime/cartooning focused always had a lot of trouble, particularly in life/figure drawing classes. They had deified their system to such a degree, that they thought that learning to do realistic, unsimplified representation was inferior and a waste of time.
They didn't and don't ever improve; their characters stayed poorly rendered even by the same standards they subscribed to. The reason is that you have to learn a form before you can learn to simplify it. I don't know of any truly successful cartoonist/anime artists who can't draw a convincing human figure, or cannot draw from life.
But as a rule, they took critique poorly, and were generally content with sitting around feeling like their style of art was being persecuted. What they didn't realize was that the serious cartoon/anime students had already realized that the bickering was a waste of time, and were now busy improving their craft through practice and study.
I guess the moral of the story is that you're just going to stagnate when you have an attitude of exclusion and self-righteousness.

I like Christian and Islamic mythology myself. SO GRIMDARK.Actually, the "devil" appeared after christian values and ideas were introduced. Before that the horned head would depict a male power and fertility and pentagram was a protective sign. It was a clever move to call these objects "demonic" and pagan priests "heretics" and "satanists" to fight paganism. And after the paganism threat became smaller, it's obvious that the "devil" became too weak to be considered dangerous.

Sorry to continue the derail, but yeah. The founder of Satanism chose the icon specifically because it was offensive to modern sensibilities. From what I've read, "true Satanism" is more akin to pure hedonism than anything else (I guess like the Saducees from Palestine)

Hehe, remember Azrael, angel of death? An eye on his wings for everything that has been, is, and will be - and upon the death of one thing, the eye corresponding closes.

Also, there's something that appeals to me of the Jewish version of Satan - not the nasty, evil, bad enemy of God, but instead a trickster working for God going around and testing people.
Overall, though, there's plenty in every form of mythology around the world to make for very interesting stories, in all peoples on all continents. Just so long as you get the real, unedited-for-content and un-Europeanised version.

Old Testament Angels are awesome. They also looked nothing like the traditional renaissance Angels; there was a very good reason why the first things an Angel usually said was "Don't fear!" or "Don't be afraid!".I still have trouble believing that Jesus's mother would be a virgin afterwords.

Is there a tutorial for this sort of thing that you could link to?nice dwarf, sindayven.
it really looks like it's engraved in stone... what program did you use to do that?
A simple trick I used in Adobe Photoshop. I made a layer with a stroke effect that matched the background texture, and then gave it a bevel that matched the stroke's size. I set my brush to adjust fill rate to pressure and "chiselled" away at the stone surface with my tablet pen.
Also, I've decided to retroactively make that sconce a bit less of an eyesore, as per the feedback.

I'm afraid I wouldn't know where to look. I just kind of stumbled upon the effect while playing around in photoshop.
Post by: Deon on October 17, 2009, 12:52:05 am
Also you can google a hell lot of Photoshop tutorials, they are mostly awkward, using cheap techniques and tricks to achieve a specific effect quickly while not teaching you how to do the thing in general, but at least it works.

But thanks anyway. ( And I know about the devart thing, but since I didn't remember the tags anyways, I though I might as well just link to devart.)

Anyways, the start of a catsplosion, the imp is attacking the elven caravan, one of the mules is on fire and one of the elves is getting roasted, another is falling into a chasm or whatever. There is also a dead dwarf, I think, may just be the smoke Dunno what the green things are.
Post by: Gothmog on October 23, 2009, 12:06:32 pm
I think the fire imp is actually in origional color. Are those green things a's or q's? Although I don't know of any critters with a Q as their ascii symbol, outside of possibly mods.

Yeah that's about right. There is no dwarf on the right side (they just stand there and laugh at the elves) and the green things... that was supposed to be cloth but I apparently forgot how cloth look.
Fixed that. It looks even more horrible now ;D

I suppose they might not be gripping the hammer quite tightly enough. It's not a major problem, though, as I wouldn't have noticed it most likely if it hadn't been pointed out.

Has anyone tried to render the... giant purple shrimp thing Toady described as the last good Titan he met? I kind of tried but I fail at drawing... shrimps... and hair. And dwarves, apparently.
So here it is, giant purple and kind shrimpthing next to a good ocean with some dwarf..like humanoids.

Maybe I shouldn't have taken a pic of a cooked shrimp as reference. It's true what they say, you learn something every day. And sometimes it's about shrimps :D
That thing is terrifying, though. It's like... I'm staring at it and it stares back into me. I guess drowning yourself in the ocean is the sane option when a dragon-sized shrimp appears in your fortress and asks for a group-hug. :P

This happened in my latest fort. The dwarf killed several skeletons before he drowned. I would arm my army with weapons, but I need to dig some more before I get the metal works running, and my miners have been killed or incapacitated by the many skeletons. And I need water from the river for the wounded. Which is why I sent dwarves to kill the skeletons in it. Sigh.

Seriously? This is a game where Dwarves ignore that they're on fire, think charging at the Fire Imp in the Magma pool is a valid tactic, and rush into the middle of a goblin siege to grab a sock. Fishing in an area where Giant Eagles fly around is the least of their stupidities.

Still, blue elves are a bit alien for DF IMO. If they were Dark Elves/Deep Elves/Drow, then a deep blue skin could make sense. I still imagine DF elves as having similar skin tone ranges as humans, although tending on the tanned side.

The particulary awesome thing about that is that the Elves in DF, being Feral, Cannibalistic Tree-Loving Warmongers, are actually pretty similar to the sort of tribal culture shown in Avatar.
All things considered, if you chop the tails off the Avatar aliens, they'd make pretty nice DF Elves; pointy ears, somewhat feral and animalistic, tribal, in commune with nature etc. It's original and different, and i fully support it.
I'm sick of Elves being tall, fair and better than you, it'd be nice to see some more animalistic elves that actually make sense, considering the origin stories that the Elves are deriven from, and the way they act in DF.
Thumbs up for Blue Elves.

I don't know, aside form the way they act, I always pictured DF elves as looking exactly like the standard strereotype of elves. And the boatmurdered comic is supposed to introduce new people to the DF universe.. I don't know if such new people would recognize naked blue people as elves.

The people coloured Avatar aliens actually look pretty good, the patterns look like some sort of elaborate ritual tattooing, which is neat.
Actually, they made me think about Robin Hobb's Specks. Specks are people that have marks on their body, sort of in the same way cats have "stains" on their fur. As far as I've read (and please don't spoil), they live in a forest they adore, wander naked through the trees with incredible agility and discretion, often not being seen by non-Specks. To my knowledge, they don't use bows or anything, but if it's not for this, they look quite much like Elves and non-blue Avatar aliens.

Balathustrius: So, if elves are evil, green things that live in dark forests and worship strange, alien nature gods, what does that leave for the goblins? :P
I think immortality, once the implications of being able to spend six thousand years becoming really good at your chosen profession are properly implemented, will be enough to set them apart from the humans. Along with whatever cultural things end up making the most sense. It's not like every race HAS to be new and innovative, as long as there's adventuring to do in the world. You could do a deep and rich fantasy world with just humans if you wanted to.

Well, I didn't say the elves would necessarily be evil. Goblins can still cover that, being the twisted, demon-worshiping, technologically advanced race of kidnappers that they are.
One thing I really did like about Tolkien was his take on goblins; that they are debased, mutilated elves. It was such a powerful, disturbing concept that Tolkien himself became uncomfortable with it and actually tried to retcon it out later, unsuccessfully.

Well, sure, but I guess to me, if you have a race of regular ol' humans, and a race of perfect, immortal humans-with-pointed-ears, what reason is there to play the regular ones? If the only differentiation between your fantasy races is that one has eternity to become good at their chosen profession, while the other dies, it just strikes me as a little dull.

It was such a powerful, disturbing concept that Tolkien himself became uncomfortable with it and actually tried to retcon it out later, unsuccessfully.Tolkien had some serious trouble resolving irredeemably evil goblins with his Catholicism. I think he had several theories going, but I don't know any of the others. This might actually work in DF, considering both goblins and elves are immortal.
Well, sure, but I guess to me, if you have a race of regular ol' humans, and a race of perfect, immortal humans-with-pointed-ears, what reason is there to play the regular ones? If the only differentiation between your fantasy races is that one has eternity to become good at their chosen profession, while the other dies, it just strikes me as a little dull.Yeah, but all differences don't have to be physical. I think there are ways to make people look exotic without giving them weird skin colors and messing with their biology. If you have a race of immortal half-trees, a race of mermen, a race of people made of fire and a race of dragons, and the only cultural differences between them are different name files, it'll still be pretty dull.
Consider Morrowind. There's a bunch of different species, each with their own inherent powers, and there are some very drastic physical differences with them. But, since the borders have been open for quite a while, they're spread pretty evenly across the island. You see less Argonians in the more xenophobic regions, but that's pretty much it. Instead, you have a whole bunch of very distinct architectural styles: there's Imperial castles, Dwemer steampunk ruins, Telvanni mushroom houses, Daedric ruins with the creepy geometry, Vivec's pyramids, flat-roofed Hlaalu buildings, Redoran insect shell buildings, little wooden shacks and ashlander tents. Once you get the cultures feeling different, it doesn't matter whether the people are starfish aliens, energy beings or completely mundane humans.
So, yeah. My point is that you can make the places feel different by making the cultures different. DF actually has quite a bit of this going on already, it's just not properly implemented outside Worldgen. The goblins have a interesting might-makes-right ethical system, where you are allowed to murder anyone you want provided you can get away with it. The elves are in touch with nature, get in wars all the time because the other races keep violating their weird but extremely rigid laws, and will probably have magic or something when that gets implemented. The kobolds are sneaky kleptomaniacs stuck in the Bronze Age with no religion or properly structured language. And it'll probably get more diverse as time goes on. I think one of the far, far future dev pages mentions something like random culture generators.

So, yeah. My point is that you can make the places feel different by making the cultures different.
Morrowind is a great example of fantasy culture done well; I agree, and I agree that cultural differences are extremely important. But even in Morrowind, I'd still say that all the races were essentially humans; tall, golden skinned humans, lizard humans, furry humans with tails, green humans with tusks, etc. There's nothing particularly wrong with that; I just think that its a trope that's overdone and a little stale. It reeks of the ubiquitous Tolkien influence that's dominated fantasy since the 70s. Imo, fantasy is more fantastic when humanity is our only point of reference and the imaginary beings are alien and impossible to relate to; contrast, not mere variety, is where it's at. Humans have different cultures already, elves and goblins and abhumans should be more different from humans than Chinese are from Peruvians.
It's just my preference. Here's some pictures.

So Goblins could be the evil little genocidal bastards, as long as they are somewhat isolated (culturally, not necessarily geographically). If they aren't, then some should be good and some should be bad. So really I think it is all about culture. Without the culture, it's implied that they're all like that just by being born.

The Dwarrow should be the Dwarves that just don't live in a proper mountain biomes. They build their settlements out in the hills, plains, forests, swamps and deserts, Humie cities, whatever. Crusty, shitkicking, rebellious, rural farmer types. They are at home wherever a pickaxe can turn the earth and are satisfied with the fruits of the labor their calloused hands produce from the soil or bedrock... Their labor and their work assures their prosperity no matter where they strike the earth. (So wondering gypsy/ viking nomad types, yeah, just that they carve out proper bedrooms and stockpiles wherever they decicde to settle for the next few decades.)
Deurgar: they could be something like the "Deep Dwarves" or "Dark Dwarves" that are popular round here and have completely adapted to a very hostile enviroment deep underground. They worship demons and gods of wealth and military cunning. Pasty skinned, cave-adapted, dark beards and soul-less cataracts on their eyes that have typically seen nothing but "darkvision/ infrared" all of their lives. Perhaps they are the forgotten ancestors of teams sent into the seemingly bottomless pits sent to bring gold and wealth to their mountainhomes but were never to be heard from again. With this mission in mind, the dwarves dug into the riches of the underworld and produced, but with no contact with the world besides the hellish residents of their current abode they adopted a militarist and smash-first-eat-later culture not unknown in traditional dorfen circles, In the lightless, evil enviroment these dwarves have trained their senses and minds to deal with horrors and sensory deprivation completely alien to other dwarves.
Demiurg: These are a subtype of enlightened and exceptional dwarves, mysteriously drawn from those dwarves in fey moods, or some say possessed by forces unknown. that live in the most isolated and hostile of lands. Perched high on the most isolated of mountain peaks or far within the interior of the barren glacier wastelands of the poles. They are a small faction of scattered dwarves, said to be sorcerers and possibly immortal dwarves. They speak in obscure or ancient toungues and weild magic without a second thought, they might wear the uniforms of the soldiers from ancient armies and the expeditions perished in their harsh environes or wear the artifacts of long-forgotten kings.... (These Dwarves might somehow draw mass migration into their hostile hellholes to create a settlement... for reasons unknown to all but them)
Or something. The Demiurg you outlined makes me think of the Afghan sorcerer or guide in the movie "The Objective" in that they live in the middle of nowhere in some cave, in terrifying/evil/ inhospitable biomes... not even a Dwarrow would consider settling in. Intentionally isolated and holding some contempt for the world they have traveled so far to escape so many decades ago.

Yeah, "Dwarrow" sounds like it could be an originally derogatory term, but the folks adapted it for themselves. It maybe means "Hill Dweller" to seperate the stupid lyemakers and milkers the real fort cast out, So they settled out in the hills at first, then the plains, swamps, forests, tundra, wherever there was room for a dorf to dig out a place in the bedrock for a settlement for his comrades.

Tuatha
Sylvan
Trowe
svart
there's proabably more I;m not remembering right now
Post by: HAMMERMILL on November 19, 2009, 07:05:28 pm
Sylvan: I dunno. Name sounds "elfy" though
Trowe: These should be the Dwarf Fortress elves we all know and love. I imagine these guys are like the 'Liberal Crime Squad' transplanted into a fantasy realm. They are very much in touch with nature, to the point of extremism. They can speak to and form alliances with the animalmen, and even lesser animals and as such do not draw distinctions between sentient, civilized, or simple creatures, nor do they see any reason why they should, all creatures being equal in the eyes of nature. A human soldier they shoot down with an arrow in war is just as likely to be cooked over a spit as a wild deer bagged on a hunting trip. They are protective of nature, they consider the death a tree, with its long life span to be a signifcant loss, while animals with shorter lifespans to be porportionally less valuable. Since they are immortal, they look down just about everyone else and consider their culture the only one that makes sense or aligns with nature. They trade with other races and are generally friendly, if not overly condensending, like hippies, but can become aggressive and single-minded about transgressions against their ideals, like hippies. To them, if humans stick to their barren wasteland grasslands and dwarves to their mud and rocks, they are perfectly content.
Svart: Name makes me think of those Gaul, Celt or Germanic tribes from back in the day. Stark-naked and painted blue from head to toe screaming like mad-men weilding a two-handed sword. At a bit of a loss thinking up of multiple types of elves that are distinct enough to not just be lumped into one of the above.
Then again these are just rough ideas.

I like the grey goblin better, if he has red eyes, maybe they should glow a bit, to imply they are seeing through "darkvision/ infrared" rather then plain optical sight.
Alternatively, give them brown or tan skin. I think they will still look very Goblinish while still looking realistic, but grey skin is both cool looking and realistic. Alot of animals with fur have grey skin, after all.
Nothing has green skin.

Brown ones are too close to human skin, and could be seen as rascist. Same with black orcs.
Green skin works if they're a reptilian race (which I hate seeing goblins depicted as) or if it's a more fantastical magical setting.

That actually just blew my mind and I have somehow never considered that before.
Still, humanoids with green skin looks weird. Also, most toads and stuff have grey skin.
Yeah in a realistic setting I'd use grey goblins. Or white ones. They look all corpsey that way.

Hmm... I think brownish skin could work on a Goblin without looking like real-world ethnic groups that shares no other physical features. Realistic-skin tones should'nt be racist if you are working with a non-real race. Play around with the colors and see what works? If not, grey works fine then. I'd make it a little darker in tone though, not so pale so it doesn't look "undead". Like the grey skin on a "Grey" alien or Kinda leathery looking, like a shaved cow.

(If you're annoyed by the lack of quote boxes it's because my little chatbox flips out whenever I include a quote so I'm trying to avoid doing so.)
Anyway I'm getting too far into this. Personally, I like the arcadey retro style feel of green colored goblins, and bringing up realism in a fantasy game is pointless when you're throwing fireballs with one hand and fighting off a pack of elves with the other.

In my mind they usually have kinda short, messy hair and skin that is a little ruddy. So, basically, they look like people who have just traveled two months through the wilderness to come to your fortress to sell crap. And they don't usually look very happy about it.
The goblins have green-gray skin(Haha!) and wear damaged iron armor with frayed clothes.
Post by: HAMMERMILL on November 19, 2009, 10:40:56 pm
Also, I'm thinking ein might be on to something.... dull grey DOES make goblins look and seem a bit too hardcore. I'd like to see what a greenish-brown goblin looks like.
Green looks too cartoonish. Light grey looks too much like zombie-dead type nonsense.
My personal view of goblins... is that they are highly militaristic, organized and evil and they all wear military uniforms with esoteric and largely unknown little decorations pinned on the outside in no random order, as a point of pride in their society. Not so much the rag-tag look as like typically portrayed. They take trophies and make leather earrings out of humans and rings out of the femur bones of dwarfs, so a uniform covered in medals made of the folks they killed could be interesting!
I'd like to see Fault's avatar with greenish-brown skin and see what it looks like.
Alternatively, we could also think up of the different types of Goblins and make their own backgrounds.
Goblins, Hobgoblins, Maglubiyet, Bargrivyek, Khurgorbaeyag, ect...
Also, yeah, I see humans as dirty, smelly, leather-wearing europeans with sewage caked on their boots and all that. Stereotypical fantasy-era humans, although the more esoteric, balaclava-wearing middle-eastern sorts with scimitars and camels makes sense to me as well.

I think maybe combining most of the rugged, harsher-living humans of the world (frost-bitten russians, sun-burnt saracens, disease-ridden peasants) we can find a form of humanity suitably grim enough for the DF world.
Well, Toady One said something to the effect of "Humans should just be exactly like humans" in game so I think dirty Germanic yeomen and balaclava-clad arabs, muscular scandavian folks with battle-axes and warriors with wooden armor and thin curved steel swords should all be possible, with any number of fantasy-realm possibilities in addition.

Thats good artwork, man, in any case.
I like to think of the Dwarrow wearing Huckleberry Finn type overalls, no hat, or a straw hat, no highfalutin cloak and gnawing on a length of Longland Grass with some menacing pick-axe or axe slung over the shoulder.
The Demiurg dorf looks perfect. I almost want to re-draw him wearing an ancient and eleborate breastplate on top of his mundane clothes with that same "Hey hows life, friend?" expression.
I have this idea that the Demiurg in their isolated nowhere should like to wear a foriegn item or something very out of place with their clothing. Like Osama Bin Laden with his US Army cammo jacket, or a hobo with a 900$ wristwatch, something to suggest something mysterious about their origins or background.

Svart: Name makes me think of those Gaul, Celt or Germanic tribes from back in the day. Stark-naked and painted blue from head to toe screaming like mad-men weilding a two-handed sword. At a bit of a loss thinking up of multiple types of elves that are distinct enough to not just be lumped into one of the above.A bit belated, but:
"Svartalv" (Or Svartalf) is swedish (danish/norwegian too i think, though spelling varies there) for Dark Elf.

Yea, Svartalfar was used for the 'dark elves' in that mythic mod (not the name, the theme) from Civ 4, I forget the name atm, but I saw a thread for it on these forums. Forget what the name of the other elven group was. The elves were divided into two factions, the summer court (bieng the light elves, or wood elves) and the winter court (bieng the dark elves, they weren't drow, just more of the sneaky backstabby type of elf).Svartalfar and Ljosalfar. And the mod is Fall From Heaven 2, I've started a thread on it so it could be mine.
Man I love this mod (and playing RP multiplayer games in it).

Our closest example being Human skin. It has very interesting properties, it is semi translucent, a sort of waxy light-spread mechanism. The blood acts as a backlayer of red, the front a sort of tint of white. One of the most important mechanics is how it looks at different angles and the cue of the varying densities. Pigments can make a significant difference too. Even down to the diets, famous saying "We are what we eat", it reflects back onto how healthy our skin is, although interestingly enough there are others things as well, other creatures might attempt to 'fake it' to cope with deficiencies to have better survival/mating opportunities.
What I am trying to say is that skin isn't just a simple solid colour laid over the flesh and bone. There can be just so many mechanics and properties involved. Also we can introduce even unique effects not seen before in nature. Carpaints. Carpaints are interesting, flakes suspended inside a translucent surface ontop of a solid layer, to give amazing effects. Look at a surface straight on, it is dark red. Look towards the edge, it becomes a bright blue, an amazing and contradicting experience. You can even have flakes that glitter at specific angles of incidence.
It is far from being limited to skin btw. I think it would be.. very cool if the goblins had patterns, spots and marks to reflect on personalities, behaviours and such. The spots might accumulate near joints and such. Oh and hair/fur too are interesting, in RL, dogs will naturally go for natural oils, such as from fish, it makes their coats shiny (this might be similiar to carpaint flakes because oils might only grow on the hairs for a short period (Say a short period of successful predation), the shiny bits in the hairs might be only visible at certain angles due to coverage of other hairs). In DF we could reflect this back on predators, a named beast could have a shiny coating and marks to reflect on its' kills.
Biomes, having a tendency to affect creatures over long periods, especially with Spheres. An arid desert could have more effects than just culturally, but also physically in appearance. For example an Oasis lake being the only source of water is tainted with certain natural blue minerals and magical red elements. Creatures drinking from the Oasis might slowly and only slightly turn with a hint of midnight blue with dark red flakes in sunlight, but at night with a glowing cue of vicious red along the edge of the creatures.

I would have liked to color it, but given that I'm only on the level of a scribbler when it comes to artistic endeavors of the visual sort, I haven't really found any coloring style or method that goes very well with my messy lines. It doesn't help that I did this in an ancient version of OpenCanvas that has an interesting issue where every layer is transparent to the point that you can't layer colors over each other, so there is no way to do background coloring except for carefully staying inside every line and erasing constantly.
Next one I'll be trying out GIMPshop (never got along with GIMP, but maybe the more conventional layout will be enough to make it tolerable), so hopefully color next time.
As for the dwarf, dunno. I like to imagine that all the dwarves in my fortress have absurdly long ponytails for no particularly defined reason. Not that you can really tell what that scribble behind him is. Also whenever something is studded with bone I can't help but imagine them putting teeth all over it. Including on mugs, in places where they may injure the user.

Disregard the Kroot gobbo thing as it should be just kroot.
The ideal goblins for me would be a kroot-ish goblin or a hybrid, since It would distinguish itself from kobolds (or perhaps the other way around).
And yeah, I like the skin color of the ones I have drawn, since it seems like the normal depiction of a goblin is on the brink of craaaazy green, instead of a light greyish tint or the like, which would look much better.

You know you're right, Deon. There's only so much lack of quality that I can excuse as "style".
Here's why: The dirty and overly pixellated lines on most of my coloured work comes from my not very top of the line scanner, and the fact that for most of my artistic carreer I've been using MS PAINT instead of more high-end programs like flash or photoshop.

I'd like to use a tablet in conjunction with something like GIMP. It'd be a change from using a pencil and paper.Absolutely. I suck at art and everything related to it, I got some of my worst grades in art class back when I still was in.. grammar school (if that tells you anything).
On paper it's like... I use my cluster of 10 sausagelike fingers to draw a line or something.. fail at it.. can't correct it, rage and abandon the "picture".
Now that I have a tablet (mostly for writing - I'm, in fact, doing some math practice right now) it's mostly like.. draw a line... looks bad.. UNDO... draw again.. looks bad.. UNDO.. draw again.. until it looks good. Setting one of my tablet's hotkeys to "undo" was the first thing I did, and I can't say I regret it ;D

Invariably, you'll usually create better looking works if you just run with the flow and fix up mistakes later. Start big, slowly work smaller and smaller until you're on details.
One of the common factors you'll see in professional artists using tablets is they often start with huge blocky lumps of colour and just keep drawing, erasing only when absolutely necessary.

I'd rather like to as well. Seeing as when I finally did try GIMPshop (when starting the goblin picture), it crashed immediately upon creating a new document every time. So... that was kind of a catastrophic failure.
I also hardly ever erase/undo while drawing. Because whenever I draw on paper, I use pen only, so I got used to just making mistakes into another scribble in a multitude of scribbles or starting over. I only use erasing for when I decide to change the position of a limb so it's going overtop of lines I already drew before or something.

Well, I like your goblins a lot, with the awesome silliness and all (especially the fish engraved on the sword : p ) it's fairly stereotypical, and cool.
I tend to picture them in other ways, as a more tribal-ish society, where they don't really have nice weaponry or armor as they tend to die in large numbers, and any type of quality armor is not going to help much.
so generally I picture them as humanoid creatures around half the size of a human, and kinda like my previous doodles.
I imagine that they just hammer a piece of metal until it's flat enough, and just strap it on their shoulders and chest areas. In the same way with weapons, as they are in large numbers, they tend to just gang up on the victim resulting in a large one-sided clusterfuck. They don't need finely crafted weapons for that ,as a piece of sharpened, flat piece of copper tied to a wooden handle with string would do just as well( also why they don't have large weapons) as with daggers and such can just stab all they like, quickly and efficiently.
/rant.

Tuatha could be the elves that have long ago aligned with the humans or dwarves from old conquests. Like the elves in conqured retreats that live in wooden buildings and use metal weapons and armor. They are still immortal and generally quite intelligent, but they lack the physical prowess for hard labor in the mines or forges, they seek employment as guards, soldiers and clerical work. They should be the equalivent of the "high elves" or generic stereotype fantasy elf. Thuatha could be an insult akin to "traitor" or "tree-killer" or something in the Elven toungue that these wood-chopping, city building, civilized elves adapted to themselves out of spite for their nature-worshipping hippy ancestors. They should'nt form their own nations, peferring to live in the midst of other races.

This elf's family has lived among humans for three generations after they fled from a sylvan civilization.
He wears warm, autumn-themed colours to contrast with the greens and yellows of traditional elves.
Also, that chestpiece is actual leather, as opposed to the "wood-cloth" worn by Sylvan and Trowe, seen below.

yeah. ;D
The way I see elven biology, their appearance and biochemistry is greatly affected by their surrounding environment and community.
Elves who only see other elves are tall and green-blooded.
elves Living among humans are less lithe and more sturdy, and are red-blooded and can even grow facial hair (this could also be due to interbreeding).
elves who live among dwarves (such as Cacame) I tend to draw more bulky and stout, also not as tall. I don't draw him with a beard though, which he really ought to have...
Elves babysnatched by goblins might grow up into a sort of dark elf archetype.

Maybe projects like stonesense show that a 3D UI is what we should be working on and toady justs focuses on the GAME
An isometric UI may not appeal to everyone though.

Were I a game designer, and my game had monsters like those in it, and people drew that message from them and said it on the game's forum . . . BAN. But that game's forum would have different guidelines, so I doubt Toady would do the same. Strictly speaking that's within guidelines.
Wait, you're saying you'd actually ban me? That's an actual message out of the game; I'm pure and innocent in this!
It's not hentai or anything; if someone associates it with that, well, they have a dirty mind. ;D

But that game's forum would have different guidelines, so I doubt Toady would do the same. Strictly speaking that's within guidelines.Unlike all the other demons, which are genderless, Tentacle Demons are always male. And they secrete white "unknown substance". And some dwarves like them for their corrupt intentions. And engravings of them committing depraved acts really do turn up quite frequently. What did you THINK the game was implying?

In Deon's pic the nudity was cultural, there was no sexual connotation.
In balathastrius' pic there's sexual connotation all over the place.

I envision DF Elves as being kind of like the Wolfriders from ElfQuest. Very much a feral group, although the ElfQuest elves are much less uppity about killing things.This is one of those things that would turn DF elves from being wussy Hippies to being BADASS AWESOME in an instant. One can only assume that indeed there must be ElfQuest Style elves in DF for it can be the ONLY explanation someone like "Cacme"
That said someone needs to draw a comparison of DF Elves in "wussy Hippies" style and then in "Elfquest" style

Fault, I am under the impression your Elf has anormally short legs. Or long arms. Perhaps it was a choice, as they're supposed to live in trees, to give them a more "monekyish" profile, but I doubt it.
Also, that's one pissed-off looking Elf.
Post by: Fault on November 28, 2009, 06:12:11 pm
ABNORMALLY SHORT LEGS
Ugh! The same problem happened with the Tuatha I did before. I think It's from drawing too many dwarves and goblins, who do have short legs in proportion to their bodies.
I'll try to remedy that in my next elf drawin'...

the Trowe are often mistaken for Sylvan Elves because of their appearance. But wheareas the Sylvans are simplistic and peaceful, the Trowe have a very disciplined and militaristic culture, and have little tolerance for other races who do not meet their standards. What the Trowe lack in technology (they still use sharpened wood weapons) they make up for in numbers. They are known in battle to outnumber the enemy seven to one, and still manage to lose.

I should do one in a more hippie, flower-child style.
Also I'm surprised no one has pointed out that the Sylvan's symbol is a pot leaf.
Also, Upon closer inspection of the SVART pic, I remembered that I had not drawn it with short legs, its just that he is wearing the loin cloth kinda low around the waist. (see the lines upward from the belt, those are like the beginning of the hip-thigh area.) this lends more credence to the whole monkey-posture theory proposed earlier.
though compared to the other elves, the tuatha looks way shorter than it should even by human standards.

although, I'm a little worried about hosting a comic on that site. I've looked over the subject matter of most of the popular publications, and let's just say that the readership does not sound like the kind of crowd I'd like to be lumped in with. :-\
A lot of the comics are either poorly drawn manga, cheap flash production, or sprite-works...
quality seems quite difficult to find on Smackjeeves... I am, of course, judging these works from an artistic perspective. There could be some fairly good storytelling behind all the cliched images, but I don't think I'm willing to look past them.

The Tuatha guy STILL looks like he belongs at the ski lodge, with a mug of beer and a snowboard, more than in a forest.

The kobold's look nice to me. I don't get what you mean by "Too humanoid" since they have bony elongated faces, claws, and fewer toes.
Probably too 'furry' like and no savagery, I picture them as somewhat savage (not so much beast savage as primitive savage)
Also I'm surprised no one has pointed out that the Sylvan's symbol is a pot leaf.Probably because it was to be expected. What really surprised me is that Trowe are Canadians.
Yea, since elves are considered to be hippies, which fits the Sylvan. The Tuatha looks either like a chipped bronze arrowhead or a leaf which has had a bite taken out of it.The Svart symbol looks runic or something, probably fitting as they are suppoused to be the 'wild' elves which live in the depths of the forest, or something.
The Tuatha seem the shortest, but since they are a mix of human and elven stock (supposedly), they are just a bit stockier.
Nice split between the 'civilized' elves and the 'wild' elves.
Post by: Foa on November 29, 2009, 02:24:06 pm
And the Tuath are cool, the Elf exetremists... Trowe will be fun, the Sylvan are fine, they are too pansy to hurt me, and the Svart, I'll welcome you like the kobolds, but you'll be chained, and they won't.
Post by: Bralbaard on November 29, 2009, 03:38:10 pm
Probably not how Toady envisioned them, and not in agreement with lore on goblins in general, it is just how I imagine DF goblins must look.
One of the reasons why I like the ascii graphics of DF is that it basically leaves everything up to the imagination of the player, the screen just shows letters, but it easily translates to dark dungeons, massive battles, and miasma.
Anyhow here's the Goblin: They are not the types of creatures that you want to steal and adopt your children.

MarksAnything are pretty good. Hell, just put a pole outside a fortress, tie a crossbow to it with the ability to fire autonomously, somehow rig the pole to spin around, attach a large drum of arrows to the crossbow, and BAM, perfect defense system.

Nor did I (I only just read that TvTropes link). I tried to stay away from drawing the typical goblin fantasy stereotype, and get blamed for drawing another.

Trees are animate though.

Also, there are two ways an elf gets stoned: smoking pot and visiting the dwarves.

An elf can't have a stick up his ass if he's mellow, but he can if he thinks the rocks swear at him.
Would also make sense why they don't live underground or like being there.

This coupled with the penchant for elves to take on aspects of the Civ they live with, as well as the dominant genetic trait of [stout] (Beards are recessive traits) I would believe the average Dwalf would look like a sickly beardless(or thinly bearded) dwarf. of course as a rule, there are exceptions to every rule, so the ocurance of a Dwalf such as Deons, could be possible.

Be careful about your assumptions- in another universe, Elves could tear across the land with their feared artillery pieces and bear riders, and live in grand wooden forts in the deepest forests and highest mountains, trading their exquisite textiles and notoriously strong, finely brewed Sunshine and wines. While Dwarves cower in caves, to which they wouldn't lay a scratch for their lives, protesting the damage the Elves make when they dig to the earth for gems and metals- but they never win a fight, because they mostly throw rocks and everyone knows they have a weak consitution.

also here's a troll:
I try to get away from the 'monster' aspect of trolls, especially the whole D&D must-burn-them-with-fire-to-kill-them mantra. Monster in the sense that they are some kind of hellspawn - I see them more as hated because they are considered a nuisance, tricky, untrustworthy, a subrace.
I consider trolls a minor giant, humanoid, but not just a giant ugly human. They have a minor culture with their own language, but nothing civilized to the point of empires/leaders/etc. I picture them more like gypsies, with bastardized leathers and clothes, cheap baubles, simple weapons, and either living here and there in whatever shelter they can find, or on the roam. John Bauer's pics (though a bit too Disney-esque for my taste) are more of what I make them like in my worlds.
In my worlds, giants are a class that not only includes 'giants' as very large human-like creatures, but also ettins and cyclopes as subclasses. It also includes trolls, as a smaller giant, more of the likes of a dwarf/gnome. Then there are the truly bad (not just maligned), ogres, which as a smaller giant, tend to be more of the likes of a goblin.

Could've exported the heightmaps, then created a render based on those maps, texturing it with the exported game map.
Yup. Applied the heightmap to a subdivided plane, used Blender's "noise" function, then applied the normal game map. Also a secondary plane at ocean level with just the game map.

The rest was done in Blender.
I created a plane and subdivided it to a desired resolution (maaaaaany vertices).
Then I applied the heightmap texture and pressed the "noise" button (one of the F9 Edit Buttons). This displaced the vertices according to the heightmap data.
Then I replaced the heightmap with the general map and also applied it to another plane which was placed at sea level.
The rest is some basic lighting (just one spotlight and ambient occlusion turned on).

it's supposed to be a quick introduction of the two main human characters, Josef the Merchant and William the Historian. Josef does not exactly know how to be politically correct around dwarves.
William is wise and pragmatic, a seeker of knowledge. He has recently inherited a strange book with a map showing the location of a legendary treasure.
Josef is naive and adventurous. he is also somewhat greedy/self-centered, though he has a good heart. He is technically william's Cousin, as their grandmothers were sisters.

The title I chose has more to do with what will occur when the story gets going. It will move away from dwarfdom and into the wider world beyond after a chapter or so.
do you think it'd be ethical to give it a dwarf-sounding name while the story is still centered around them, and change the name when the story advances away to other things?

@Fault: Ethical? I don't see any ethical implications. Confusing though for your readers, perhaps. You might go for a transition format with different titles- have it be 'chapter' or 'book' or 'part' 2. As a general hint though, nobody remembers the title anyway, it's just a matter of who it might attract to the comic. Changing the title probably wouldn't mean much to anyone who's reading the whole thing.
...also, not to sound like the guy who says 'Move it a little to the left... no, no right... wait, left...' but "Welcome to Effigies" just looks/sounds weird. Maybe The Effigies? Although that certainly makes it sound like it's centered on dwarves. But like I said, don't fret too much. The title doesn't have to mean much later into the story.
Post by: Fault on December 09, 2009, 06:39:26 pm
but you do need a good title to attract people to the story. Either that or a nice banner (but I can't upload a good banner... there's kilobyte restrictions...)
but speaking of good titles, they don't really seem to matter on smackjeeves. all of the most popular comics there have terrible or misleading titles.
"Welcome to Effigies" just looks/sounds weird.

Heh, I almost feel like making a smackjeeves account just to tinker with how I can make the page look nice. Maybe a background implying the comic image to be 'engraved' on a wall? Your style certainly lends itself to it.
On that note, and not just to fault, maybe it would be a fun project to try and draw (read: shoop) some stuff that looks like it was actually carved in natural rock, cleverly using ore veins and hash-scratching for color.
Hrm... I have an essay to write. I probably shouldn't be here. ;D
Edit: ...ignoring my own advice, looking through smackjeeves suggests that you most certainly can remove the obnoxious 'Welcome to'.

I'd say they're really only named dwarves- but they're closer to an existing cliche of mole people. Illusion of creativity. Not that they weren't creative, but they're also not as far from established concepts as the 'misnomer' would lead you to think.
If by 'established concepts' you mean 'Tolkien' then yes.

Does Tolkien ever mention female dwarves?Apparently they're naturally outnumbered by like 20 to 1, so dwarven females are prized possesions of warlords and nobility.
And they don't have beards.
Post by: Fault on December 11, 2009, 02:33:44 pm
or at least the movie of LOTR said they did...

yeah he said they do.I got the books minus the SIlmarillion, although I've read half of it.
or at least the movie of LOTR said they did...
Now you mention it, it doesn't state in the books that dwarf females don't have beards, and Return of the Kings appendixes got al kinds of crazy stuff like the family tree of Gimli and the different calendars, but nothing on the races themselves...
I read about the rarity of dwarf females in the Silmarillion, but I don't know about the beards...
I'll check around the webs :p
EDIT:
According to http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Dwarves females aren't mentioned much, but I really do remember reading about the rarity of females in the Silmarillion... Might've been my imagination...

Anyways, yea, female dwarves are barely represented in fantasty. How about the movie Willow? Although they may have been closer to Hobbits than Dwarves (same stature, but they live in a forest (Not ewoks, believe me, lol), not all of them had beards and I have no idea about liquor).
They could pass for Dwarrow or something though.
EDIT: Just wikied it and it was made by George Lucas himself. No wonder they seem alot like Ewoks.
Edit: At first it says that they were a half-ling like race while later in the credits it says that the main character was a dwarf (likely a young one whose beard hadn't started to really grow yet). So.....
Edit: Looking further at wiki, it looks like they would be pretty dwarven, even if they are a rural (dwarrow) community and the fact that they use magic.

If you refer to fantasy as a whole, then dwarves are barely represented at all, as the amount of 'science fantasy' far outweighs the amount of 'medieval fantasy'. If you include old ledgends and myths as well as current media then dwarves are represented even less.

He could have it kinda clenched in his side-teeth (molars?) or have the cheek pulled back a bit..
but it would have made more sense to put more centered on his mouth. I guess I just wanted to draw a lot of teeth.

The humans, of course, need to have pupils. goblins and elves, not so much. Not sure about half-elves though.
Olin and Urist are both mountain dwarves, and they have a special third eyelid that keeps out dust, so for the most part their pupils are not visible. Hill dwarves (dwarrow) lack this feature, as they spend less time below ground. they have large and shiny eyes with little white visible.

They are in voice and appearance, and in garb if they must go on a journey, so like to the dwarf-men that the eyes and ears of other peoples cannot tell them apart.

DF is not Middle-Earth, there're no carnivore treehugging elves in Tolkien and dwarves do not live in dirty caves, wearing rotting socks and vomition on each other, while the Carp eats everyone. Also Toady One commented the women beard out in the next release, thus no luck. All hail and worship Toady I say :D.
P.S. Balathustrius, you're one of the greatest saviours of this thread.
They're partially out. The tag is still there, but only the brackets have been removed. So it's very easy for people to have bearded Dwarf-women. Toady Doesn't like them to have beards, but acknowledges the fact that beards are totally awesome.

I focused most of the detail on the rider,and because of this the lower body of the elephant is kinda sketchy and underdetailed (that could also be because I only took about 10 minutes to draw this...)

Also your elephants (and most animals) are creepy. I tried to go for a "sacramental" look (that probably explains the non-usable armor, because it's decorative); you go for a "freighten the hell out of enemies" look ;D.
Also, you get the points for following me with the ring in an ear and in a nose. It's like the same elephant in different (parallel?) universes :D.
Now you have to color it! It's too awesome to leave as it is, and we both know that it's too cheap to leave good sketches uncolored :P.
P.S. You forgot to draw a cat :D. We all know that those beasts adopt the best warriors.

To give some facts why I think so: if you look on a pic with me (in the post with my crossbow dwarf), that girl has bigger shapes (kinda hard to see because of my back :D) and she's 16. And she's asian which are considered "flat" by russians (sorry for possible insult for some audience, I am not a racist).
She has huge knuckles though, something you rarely see on girls :).
P.S. OK I think I get it now. We probably live in different parts of the planet where people have different proportions, thus something I consider "a bit bigger than normal" you consider "abnormal". It's all settled now, I've got it.

Yeah, I actually know girls who are past twenty who still approximate your idea of a "13-year old". Although the semblance is helped by the fact that the elephant rider is drawn, and so a lot of details are necessarily left out by the style.

*ADRESSING ARTISTIC CRITIQUE*
it looks like an actual female warrior
You saw what I was going for, Josh. I tend to shy away from exaggerated armour and weapons (the likes of which are seen in older Dn'D editions or World of Warcraft) and go for a more practical design. I do utilize some ornamentations (like the studs on the arm guards or the ribbon on the axe) but I try to keep them to a minimum.
your elephants (and most animals) are creepy
I have tried to move away from that, actually. The elephant in the picture was intended to look gruff and battlescarred, not undead. It's probably because I didn't use a reference to draw it that it came out so unnatural-looking. that's not to say that an elephant shouldn't look menacing, just that it should be menacing in a more believable and realistic way.
Also, what other creepy animals have I posted here? I don't remember posting a lot of animal drawings here, mostly just humanoid races.
she doesn't have knockers the size of her head. Duh.
she may have come out a bit too flat, actually. Perhaps its the restrictive armour, or perhaps she's an amazon, and has had her breasts removed (some of them actually did that...). But nevertheless, on the subject of female warriors in history, it has been brought up many times that breasts tend to get in the way during combat.
If you consider it by complexion, she looks like she's 13.
how can you tell her complexion when the picture hasn't been coloured yet? ???
Post by: Neruz on December 26, 2009, 06:51:15 am
Wouldn't women that have extremely active lifestyles be flatchested, because of some biology reason that I can't remember off the top of my head? You'd think a warrior would fall into that.
Breasts are mostly fat, generally athletic people don't have much fat, which is why athletic women tend to not have large breasts, breasts also bounce around which apparantly hurts like hell, which is why alot of female athletes bind their breasts up.

Only one breast, and it was so they could fire a bow.

Also, the real reason why I thought she's a teenager:
While her body is slim, her face is kinda rounded/wide. Usually grown-up women who are slim has more elongate facial features and often visible cheekbones/dimples.

Also, Deon, your claim about constitution does make sense. I'm used to drawing humanoid figures stading straight-up, and facing the viewer (so to speak). The figure of the elephant rider is in a more dynamic, foreshortened position, something I'm not as used to, which may have made her body look disproportionate or otherwise younger than it should.
Oh, and about her face... I wasn't really trying to draw that part realistically. It was a more idealized version of a female warrior, who, in reality, would probably end up looking like a grizzled, battlescarred man after fighting wars her whole life.

Fault's empty eyes are pretty undead though, making them entirely black is better than entirely white/yellow. Black eyes are common in nature, entirely white eyes are creepy, and are only seen on blind or dead creatures.

To pass the time thinking of what images to do, I added details to the images I had already drawn. most of these details were scribbly lines. these lines are especially apparent on Olin in panel one and the King in panel five.

His ruling style is very much suited for the wartorn world he grew up in, but has little place in the current world, which is in a time of peace. He knows that his beliefs are as ancient and unstable as he is. as such he has fallen into a deep depression, rarely leaving his dimly lit throne room.
His beliefs are similar to that of Urist, the red-bearded dwarf who acts like a stereotype. However, the King knows that his ways are outdated, and has such become sullen and introverted. Urist, on the other hand, refuses to accept that the time of bravery has long since passed, and is hostile to the world around him because of this. He does not fit in, but does not want to change either.

Also, Deon, there's really nothing wrong with impractical armour from a market standpoint. A lot of really successful fantasy franchises (warcraft, final fantasy, Warhammer...) have ridiculously impractical armour. I think some of us artsy types are just trying a bit too hard to get someone else to "DRAW THE SAME WAY WE DO". We should appreciate diversity. Even if its impractical, it sure is real shiny.

It looks like the breast plate tends to sit a bit away from the skin, so the area over the breasts doesn't need to be raised much. Most of the examples have only one raised area containing both breasts (I assume because the center part of a separation would hit against the middle of the chest painfully in combat). One example has only a slight separation. The only example on that page with full separation of the breasts (and full sculpting) is the roman-based one, which it says is based on armor from a movie and not any real life design.
edit: I found one more on the page with separated breasts but she wrote there that it was for a fair and not fighting.

It does; there's a thick layer of padding between the metal and your body. Plus, you know, women tend not to go into battle with their breasts flopping around loosely.

Kinda sketchy, but I've made it in 15-20 min. Also it's related to the new lots of animal-men. I am really scared of giant cave spider men riding giant cave spiders.
P.S. Fault, awesome dwarf. Just your style :). What is the "herm" though? I know that there's a town called like this, but it's my only guess (well, not really, but I hope it's not another thing I thought about).

It does look pretty freaky which takes away from the otherwise sexy breasts. I'm not saying the breasts are a bad thing, its a compliment.... seriously.

QuoteThe only reason i even posted about the armor functionality Deon is because you yourself said the design was supposed to be functional
Neruz, you should consider irony when starting to dig "realism".QuoteI've made this "functional" design.Do you see the speech marks? It was a joke about functionality. You should really read carefully before trying to show your point of view, making a discussion out of it.
It's difficult for people to tell when you're being sarcastic. Haven't you noticed the pattern yet? In this particular example, the quotation marks weren't sufficient to indicate that "functional" was ironic, since you (like many others who speak English as a secondary language) use quotation marks to indicate all kinds of uncertainty -- you'd even done this in the previous sentence, with 'draw too "open" female armor.' Irony is often hard to detect in text, even in a conversation between native speakers, so don't get fussy if people can't detect yours.

FootkerchiefOK, I think I am going to send some giant cave spidermen after you right now :).
Also, aren't quotation marks used to indicate not meaning? Like if I said: "You're "nice" because of your habit to discuss something I don't want now", it should mean "you're not nice", right?

four jaws and one mouth?I meant four chaps. They move in different directions, like for insects (think of Predator from the movie for example), so 2 upper ones are separate from the skull and the lower one is separated into 2, there're 4. When they open the skin stretches, it's supposed to be very elastic. Do you remember guys from the Blade 2 movie? Something like this, but there's no "scar" on the chin.
I could draw it, but I tried to google pic "four chaps" without a "secure search" checked and I am too stressed to draw something for a few minutes...

Heh, of cause it's just design. As you see, she's a demon and she has no nipples nor visible reproductive organs because she doesn't have to feed babies or reproduce in a "normal" way. Thus the look is just how the demon wants to appear/how it was created. And since it's name is Mistress and the main goal is Killing, you have to guess by yourself why does she look so.

There is less armour on the parts of his body which require more flexibility,such as his legs and upper arms. He has a suit of studded leather covering his chest and waist. His shins and forearms are covered by leather gauntlets and boots. His belt has several pockets for keeping items, and also has a leather strap that carries the sheathe for his sword, which hangs behind him to the left. he wears a traveling cloak, because 1: it looks cool, and 2: for protection from cold.

I just know that that's how I'm going to imagine all tentacle demons now. It makes them a whole lot more ..wrong that they look so innocent.
I'm also imagining them looking like that in attract prey mode, but when they are ready or whatever, they become really demonic with sharp teeth, claws on both hands and tentacles.
It also seems to be missing one tentacle on the left side (from the readers POV).
I also notice that you fixed the wierd line coming from the mouth last night, I think it actually looks better now.

still though, unsettling subject matter. I don't think the raw files state that demons have a child-stage. They are born fully formed from the pits. but its shiny, so i'm willing to overlook the possible innacuracy.

Or you know... fully formed demons look like human (elf/dwarf) children because it's extremely unsettling and that's what they're supposed to be (or want to be). If we go by the RAWs the demonchild is actually twice as tall as a dwarf. That's about as horrible as they get.

The cross slash is the mouth and the two bulb things on the sides are silk glands.
This is what I envisioned the mouth to be like from Deons earlier description, may be a little too cthulhu-esque though. The thing in the upper left shows the spinnerette gland in a side view.

I just realized how non-threatening the top one looks, until it opens up its mouth and bares its fangs.
Also, I can draw on the comp a bit better than this when I take my time. Used Paint.NET here.

Here's what I was doing, not particularly DF related, but the original idea was, and the goblins look like how I would visualize goblin thieves/sneaky types in DF, I guess if the people at the entrance of the cave were shorter it would qualify.

Yea I noticed those mushrooms. Theres also the pipe fungi in the foreground, the conical capped ones and the long stalked ones. What the scattered fuzzy clumps are in the foreground that look like clumps of grass but aren't, I am not sure. They could pass for some sort of mineral formation, or maybe they are cave urchins.

im also of the more fingers = smarter/more delicate. less fingers = me smash mentality... until you reach only 1 finger or 2 (including a thumb except in cases of mitten hands) as being either ancient bad or sudo-natural which may or may not be intelligent.
Edit: actualy if the hand has more then 7 fingers it would probably also go with the ancient bad or sudo-natural bracket. eventually you get to a point of having more fingers then is necessary. falling under the big bad/sudo trait of having evolved in a way that is detrimental or wholly unnecessary meaning the writer has decided things are going to go poorly for the heroes.

Also, the eagle is speedily swooping up and away from the dwarf.Sorry to say, but that's true.
The eagle should fly down on dwarf, and by the position of its wings it should come from the top left corner. It looks like it was kicked in the arse and is flying passively in this pic :).

(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/fallenone.jpg)
This image stems from my idea that trolls are related to Nephilim, the sons of fallen angels in judeo-christian mythology. This got me to thinking about what exactly one of these creatures would look like, as in what creature, if "bred" with a human, would create something as bizzare as a troll. It shares some of the trolls' distinguishing features, such as sharp teeth, lanky arms and shorter legs, as well as the number of fingers and toes.
eventually I got the idea that the wings are the only part of the creature that is technically the angel's "body", and that the humanoid form is more like a organic puppet that the wings have affixed themselves to, like an "avatar" so to speak. The wings are a form of parasite, and have possessed a living being and changed it into something to better suit their needs.
Then I thought, "why stop at organic posession?" and thought it'd be a cool image to have an angel that had built its body out of something stronger, like metal and stone. This design is based on the idea that the angel had "posessed" the rubble from the a destroyed church, like some kind of architecture-golem with wings attached.

OK. To strangemood: How I do it in photoshop (I don't think that it's the most efficient way, but at least it works):
1) You make a lineart, it means you basically put lines on top of the sketch and then remove the underlying sketch. If you want them clean, use vector lines. But I am lazy so I just draw them by hand:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
2) Put basic colors. Put them on separate layers and use vector mask to define their edges. This way it's easier to put shadows and details on each material.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
3) Color the lines to make the color transitions better.

4) Put shadows and textures on each layer.

The brazier on his head makes me think of the way tongues were depicted in renaissance art.
Maybe that's why: because those who were touched by the divine actually had flames over their heads.
I never liked the way halos looked in christian iconography; I think having a little ball of flame above their heads conveys the same idea, while generally looking more badass than floating gold rings.
By comparison to some descriptions of angels, those are positively tame and comforting to look at.
I know, originally I was thinking of going with one of those designs (FLAMING THREE-HEADED OX WITH EYES ALL OVER ITS BODY... etc...) but then I thought that I didn't really need to copy the exact appearance from scriptures or whatever. I thought I'd take the idea of their appearance (i.e.majestic and brilliant but terrifying to behold) and apply that to the stereotypical view of angels as a winged humanoid.
The first one is so... fleshless. I like it.
actually the idea I was working with was that the angel has little understanding of way organic bodies work, beyond what is immediately visible. It does have skin, but it is more like grey leather stretched over a flimsy metallic skeleton than actual living tissue. also, the majority of the body is supposed to be hollow (no mucscles) and filled ichor, the golden blood of the gods (from greek mythology).
QuoteAnima-like bandagesThese things add a lot to the character and show that the thing should appear to be "scary". I think it comes from mummies and leprotic characters.
ha ha, actually the bandages are there because I haven't decided whether or not it should have eyes yet! I don't know if I wanna make it like, for example, the angel of death in hellboy 2 (eyes everywhere except the face) or have something like eyes made of fire (which is closer to the biblical description)
Spoiler: LET'S FIGURE THIS OUT (click to show/hide)
also, I think the word your looking for is "leprous" not "leprotic".
oh and Vester, what do you mean by "anima-like?" that word has spiritual connotations, I think its latin for "soul" or something. Of course you could just be saying it looks like some anime character....

what, are those just like, laying around all over the place?Right. But not now, now they are almost all scavenged.
They are used in geology (my case) and other expeditions (but they have cannon dismantled) because they are very cost-efficient vehicles and can pass almost anywhere. Most WWII armours were dumped into marshes (because it was the fastest way to dispose of them) so resources were simply wasted, but some were scavenged and are still used by private drivers who work as "taxi drivers" in impassable regions of Russia. Our guy was a old fart who taught me how to drive a tank, so he was a cool guy :D.
You didn't see "roads" there. It took ~6 hours for a big-wheeled truck to cover 7 kilometers from our camp to the nearest military outpost, while the tank covered it in an hour.

Also we've found a plane bomb once. Demolitions brigade took it with them though. And my friend's grandpa has a hand grenade in his garage we've found when we were 13.
The war covered big territories, and often noone cares to remove the mess after wars.

I never liked the way halos looked in christian iconography; I think having a little ball of flame above their heads conveys the same idea, while generally looking more badass than floating gold rings.Icons do not have rings, their halos are more... aura-like. Like this:

Does the joke have to do with the japanese writing?Not really, as I use that as a sort of signature. I was lucky enough to stumble upon it by accident on a random site. It's just kanji for the dish called "tofu" which, if people haven't noticed is my name ; P
The joke is(very poor I know,not even a real joke) that toady has yet to implement doctors in the game(next release, I'm pretty sure), and since the character in the drawing ended up looking kind of sick, I just wrote that there and...well I'm sure you get the rest.
I have awfully,painful humor...I think it runs in the family.

The blob is part of the support apparaturs to hold the candlestick. It's on the top of the hat.
If he doesn't seem to be holding the pick it's just because of the scribbly lines around the fingers that I didin't clean up.

I think the chainmail just has an oddly shaped plate attached to the front.
Seems to defeat the purpose of chainmail being more mobile without adding any defensive capabilities.
Also, the gauntlet just looks like a bunch of loose plates.

*facepalm* again :D
- The helmet is drawn without a visor. That "hole" is usually covered
- That's not a plate, it's a cloth or leather which has some weird "anatomy"-like shape and is just laid over the chainmail, I was just lazy to color it properly (or it's dyed :P)
- Those plates are the gauntlet, and it's not worn without a leather glove, so they are simply attached to a glove. The leather part is not drawn (in the same way as DF doesn't recognise any material besides the "base" one.
This armor is practical, you just fail to imagine it in a useful way :). Come on, you play ASCII game and you make up things from letters, you can easily try and imagine missing parts of the suit, don't be a snoot.

I'm basing them off how I imagine my current fort, which is fairly awesome (my first success story! Oh, and yes I'm a newb. Started last week).
As for the pipe. It's actually a standard, pretty awesome classy pipe style that I was shown. I guess it would sound a bit like "A superior quality obsidian pipe. It is masterfully decorated with rings of gold and copper. It is engraved with the picture of dwarf surrounded by dwarves, the dwarf is recieiving a money shot."

I will add details and color it later, now I don't have enough time so I am not sure when I finish her.
Plump Queen eats a plump helmet.
In case you wonder, she holds a tube with scrolls, I will engrave "mandates" on the tube later.

Travelling, on a beach square, away from the ocean. The game does its search for enemies to throw at you and finds a sea monster. And then you were fighting the sea monster on the beach? I'm guessing that's a bug. ;D

I just thought that we are mostly grown-up people here (at least we should be, the game is too vigilant for kids) and those who commented a lot on my attempts to draw women were just kidding.

But really, I could be more mature, I guess, but I think it needed saying. Your queen pic does look excessively sexual, what with the leather boots, the cleavage, the nipple-rings, and what appears to be jewel-encrusted panties.
I guess I just don't see female dwarves as dressing up like that. They should be a bit rougher around the edges, more manly. maybe I'm just narrow-minded, I don't know.
Why can't we just have a dark dwarf eating fried chicken? Why does it need to be sexual?

I won't talk about anathomy because there's none :). The drawing is good but the shading is wrong: you see that the light source is on the right when you look on legs/body, but when you look on the pauldrons it's on the left. Also there's no shadow from arms/weapon, and you forgot about speculars. Other than that, go ahead, amuze us with your new art, and a practice is the key! ;)

Wonderful drawing. Saw a bunch of your works over on /tg/ last night. Good stuff I must say!
that was some good times. It's nice to know I have a lot of fans in the DF community.
I know that that's probably a monocle or something, but part of me sees that as having a HUD that only he can see
I originally had him in goggles like my mechanic wears... but then I couldn't show the scar on his right eye, so I left him with only one goggle.

A brave kobold, facing down a fearsome dwarven warrior.
I don't think the size difference between dwarves and kobolds is really THAT big, but I drew this from the kobold point of view, meaning that artistic exaggeration merely highlights the heroism. This is also why the dwarf looks so, well, evil.

I love that dwarf Soadreqm. my current Dwarven fortress has Kobolds as their civ symbol. at first I thought it was because they were respectful of them, I've learned since then. I have a wall that is three tiles of masterful Kobold engravings followed by my Expedition leader founding the fortress and book-ended by dwarves laboring (founding the fortress). That image also fits perfectly with my Miner spotting the first kobold at my fort. sadly the little guy got eaten by my war dog. he made a spiffy crown and totem though. His skin probably became a shield.

Once again, not specifically Dwarf Fortress related, but a dwarf nonetheless. A character by my own design named Anadar Darkmountain.
There are a few things about his proportions, the lighting and the angle that I'm not too happy with, but it seemed like too much work to fix for little payoff.

but it seemed like too much work to fix for little payoffI think the same every time I make such mistakes, so I wholeheartingly agree :P.
Awesome lineart and good coloring! I like this style very much.
Definitely the armor shading sucks rock nuts and outer glow is a cheap photoshop move (which I use too :P) but the hair texture and the whole lineart are very cool (and you can protect the lack or proper "shading" as a specific style, I'd buy it because the pic is really cool).
P.S. ALso I've noticed that you used a chainmail texture and didn't warp it to follow the shapes. Well, there's a "Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo" anime where they use the same "artistic feature", so I guess it's ok too ;).

Yeah, consistent shading is something that I'm still pretty inexperienced at. And I only do that glowing edge thing so that the outer black lines are visible against the background (I don't really like white backgrounds all that much). I should proably look into a better way of presenting my art. Also, I did try drawing in the chainmail at first, but it looked pretty bad, so I scrapped it in favour of the quick, lazy texture.
Also, that queen frightens me, somewhat. I really like the shading, though. There's great depth to it.

Someone came up with an idea for a Gurren Lagann / Dwarf Fortress crossover.
I don't know how it would work, maybe as a full conversion mod or something, but I had to draw this:
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/dwarvenlagann-1.png)
if you think about it, the two settings have a lot of common elements: digging tools, social evolution, people being on fire... a mod that combines the two would be interesting, maybe it could show the opression of the spiral king from the perspective of dwarves, or something like that.

I don't think the second story'd be possible, dwarves haven't discovered space flight yet.
YET.
This is clearly not in compliance with the theme of the show, which, as you'll clearly remember was "KICK REASON TO THE CURB AND GO BEYOND THE IMPOSSIBLE!".
My daydream, summarized, went like thus:
The last dwarven stronghold, consisting of an entire volcanic mountain, is being encroached on by the murderous and barbaric orcs that are dead determined to wipe every other race off the face of the planet. The dwarven stronghold, understaffed and underprepared to actually fend off the monstrous orcish hordes, has devised a clever plan:
Distill the most potent alcohol in the world, the 250 proof (125% alcohol) Godly Gut Rot, store mass amounts of it at the base of the mountain, and then ignite it all at once, thus blasting the entire mountain into outerspace! The mountain, carrying a payload of deadly magma, throws itself into orbit around the planet, with the intention of reaching the Orcish capital, dropping the payload of magma on it from orbit, and then reentering the atmosphere and crashing into the ocean as all the orcish ships head to the capital to help, thus creating a tidal wave that annihilates them all in one fell swoop.
However, things never go as planned when... meh, this is so insane, I'm bound to be called crazy.

I don't see how that resembles the plot of the second half of the series...
but it's still as epic as any TTGL-based story should be! KEEP WRITING, EVERYONE HERE THINKS THE STORY MAKES PEFECT SENSE
Of course it does!
Alright, so underneath dwarven stronghold was a huge nest of HFS, which was unleashed during the blastoff. After decimating the encroaching orcs, the tenacious demon leader declares that NO DWARF will ever upset his home and get away with it, and thus utilizes their personal store of adamantine and gargantuan stockpile of man-slaves to quickly build a giant demon-shaped steam-powerd space battleship fueled by SoF's. Thus, they blast off into outerspace in pursuit of the dwarven mountain-ship.
The superior technology of the demons quickly catches up with the dwarves, where then irreparably damage the dwarves mega alcohol thrusters, fly underneath, attached cables and then proceed to drag the mountainship back down to the planet prematurely, where it will harmlessly collided into some uninhabited mountain ranges. With the mountain-ship without any weapons, unable to move, and completly lacking any other form of power, it looks like it's the dwarven races last few minutes before being obliterated.
However, what the demons don't count on is a single brave dwarf kissing his beloved goodbye, throwings as much of the remaining alcohol he can onto a wagon, wrapping the entire rig in masterwork leather and cloth, grabbing an artifact spear, and then catapulting himself out of the mountain-ships hatch, throws himself into a martial trance, and simultaneously stab-explodes the exterior of the demon's ship, puncturing it's collossal water tanks, causing it to spurt thousands of gallons of water upwards towards the mountain-ship. The mountain ship hastily opens it's hatch and collects all the water it can, and then the remaining dwarves, with the water it's collected, makes a difficult decision and powers up the Hyper Steam-Magma Drive, sacrificing the magma payload for a chance at survival.
With the Hyper Steam-Magma Drive, the Mountainhome is able to overpower the demon ship, manage it's way back up, out of the atmosphere and back into orbit. The demon ship, not happy about this AT ALL, speeds up and meets the ship, and the tenacious demon leader has the ship transform into a giant 100-story tall adamantine demon robot.
The dwarves, however, have used their ingenuity to manage to quickly jury-rig a response to this. With the Hyper Steam-Magma Drive in place, it's a trivial matter to transform the mountainhome into Chouginga Dwarven Lagann, a giant dwarf made from the entire mountain, armored with it's many jewels and wielding a giant hammer.
You strike the heavens with the hammer to end all hammers, it is mangled!
Chouginga Dwarven Lagann then proceeds to bash the demon ship to pieces. The dwarves journey around the world continues, but now without a magma payload. Upon arriving at the Orcish capital, the dwarves settle on the only sensible course of action, which is to hurtle Chouginga Dwarven Lagann at them at full speed like a meteor, and drop kick Orcs with the force of a billion dwarves.
This action rockets so much dust and ash up into the air that the sun is completely blocked out. However, the surviving dwarves live inside a new fortress buiit in the crater, content in the darkness and eating plump helmets, while everything else in the world withers and dies due to lack of sunlight. With that, the Orcs and demons (and the elves, through the collateral damage) are completely defeated, and the dwarven race lives to see another day.

You've done nothing wrong, obviously, but damn. "CHOUGINGA GURREN LAGANN" sounds a lot cooler to my ears than "SOOPER GALACKSY GOOREN LOGON" that I've been seeing\hearing from quote-unquote weeaboos.

Until this thread, seeing ya'll talk, I didn't realize that "GURREN LAGANN" was supposed to have a translation. I took it for a proper noun since it's just rendered in roma-ji\katakana in the anime and everywhere else.

Dwarven Lagann: Lagann with a beard and a mining pick
Dwarven Gurren: A Bronze colossus modified with a cockpit
Dwarven Gurren Lagann: Said lagann jacked into said bronze colossus

The bright cyan metal used in Dwarf Fortress is ADAMANTINE, the silvery mithril-like metal used in mythos of various games, comics, and literary sources is ADAMANTIUM. Personally I think your bright cyan wargolem would look awesome and I hereby mandate the construction of a ☼Adamantine War Golem☼
Post by: Neruz on February 17, 2010, 11:12:48 pm
In Dwarf Fortress it's a light teal coloured metal that is incredibly light that is approximatey 6 times 'better' than Iron that can only be found around mysterious glowing pits that serve as portals for horrific Demons to emerge.
In the Marvel universe, it's a silvery metal that is completely indestructable by all known means that was made accidentally by some dude and is used here and there for important things like Superhero's equipment (and in one case, skeleton).

HRRMMMMM.
it gets even more complicated if you factor in things like adamantane (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adamantane)...
Post by: Neruz on February 17, 2010, 11:30:45 pm
Yes, it's scientifically correct to use -ium for metals and -ine for non-metals. Outside of scientific instutitions and away from people with their heads up their own asses, people use whatever name sounds good. Amusingly, Adamant works with both the -ine and -ium suffix, which is pretty rare, usually one of the suffixses sounds silly. There's the -ite suffix as well, which sometimes works really well and sometimes sounds incredibly stupid, but i believe the -ite suffix is usually used for ores\rocks.
Nothing surprising about Adamantane, Adamant has historically been linked with Diamond, as Diamonds are really, really hard.

The point i'm trying to make to Fault is that the English language is a horrible mess that breaks it's own rules more often than it actually adheres to those rules, so stating language rules is fine and dandy when you're dealing with scientists, but is incredibly anal when you're dealing with anyone else.

Cacame Awemedinade sat in his throne room one bleak and stormy morning, Pondering his current affairs. The sound of thunder disquised the distant rumbling of an earthquake. Cacame's contemplation was interrupted by the sudden intrusion of the fortress Baroness, who appeared frantic and nervous.
"What brings to my chambers so early, baroness?"
"there's something outside..." she gasped. "something you'll probably want to see."
"very well." He said, rising from the throne with his hammer at his side.
The baroness led cacame to a watchtower, where he looked up at the dreary grey sky before him. In an instant the dulldrum was shattered by a massive object streaking across the heavens. The sky was lit up by an enormous stone ship, glittering with jewels and glowing with magma. The vessel was so great, it must have had been carved from an entire mountain. It flew overhead like a comet, leaving a trail of steam and smoke.
The very sight of it sent the Baroness into panic, but did nothing to Cacame's stoic composure. However, what followed instantly sent cacame into a smoldering fury. Another ship was making its way through the skies. It was a burning hunk of serrated metal, swarming with demons and spirits of fire. Cacame began his way down the watch tower, his eyes wild with rage.
The great king made his way through the courtyard to the foot of his great colossus. Slinging his hammer to his belt, he began ascending the colossus with only his bare hands. Dwarves gathered around, staring in awe. Some fled the scene in terror, for they could not imagine what Cacame was planning. Once the King reached the top, he brought his hammer down on the forehead of the colossus, smashing through its marble face and revealing the glowing magma inside.
Cacame climbed into the statue, and the magma began boiling from his presence. The eyes of the colossus burned brighter than ever, and, with a terrifying rumble, the statue lurched to life. The marble face cracked as it's mouth tore open, letting out a roaring warcry and spewing gouts of magma and smoke. The statue expelled a massive torrent of magma, which it's hands began to shape into an obsidian hammer. The colossus' feet ripped themselves from the earth, and it began to stride away from the fortress.
The Colossus marched for many miles, it's golden cape dragging behind it and flattening the landscape. Eventually it reached a vantage point - a massive mountain peak - where it could see the two ships so high in the sky. It appeared that they had both taken humanoid form - one a mountainous avatar of dwarven strength and fortitude, the other a grim skeleton burning with hatred. The colossus' size may have been great, but these powerful titans towered over mountains.
The colossus raised its obsidian hammer and stuck the mountaintop, splitting it down the middle. A crack formed, leading all the way down into the bowels of the earth. The colossus cast itself into the crack, and the very roots of the mountain began to shudder. The rage of cacame, conducted through the colossus, channelled all the magma beneath the earth into one massive volcano. It became a smoking cauldron of magma as wide as an ocean - and from this burning void rose a shape so large it was as if a continent was tearing itself from the ground.
It was the dreadnought. The living mountain, an embodiment of Cacame's Endless Anger, his Infinite Rage. Its black body so tall it blocked out the sun, its burning eyes so bright that they blinded all who gazed upon them. Weilding a hammer so huge that it touched both the heavens and the earth, The Divine Colossus King Cacame Leapt into the sky to face its adversaries.
"THEY DARE EXCLUDE ME FROM THEIR QUARREL?"
"ME, CACAME AWEMEDINADE, THE IMMORTAL ONSLAUGHT?"
"JUST WHO THE HELL DO THEY THINK I AM?!"
"ME, CACAME AWEMEDINADE, THE IMMORTAL ONSLAUGHT?"

I think Cacame can just control magma by BEING ANGRY. He became one with the magma and was able to move the colossus (Mittens filled the colossus with magma, right?) by moving the magma within it. note how I mentioned that the colossus was constantly breaking whenever he tried to move it? it was a fragile shell for the true form of cacame. Which would have to be made of obsidian.

Only to the left if you use the "ghost's" point of view. He faces the viewer, and you can make out a shoulder, a hand, and barely some legs. If it really wasn't intended, this picture turned out great.

I say this is more like the picture on the left.
Straying viciously and unabatedly off topic, it's my theory that finding patterns where there really are none s supported by evolutionary logic- if you hear a wind in the grass and think it's a predator, you're embarrassed. If you hear a predator in the grass and think it's the wind, you're dead.

Not a lot of study has been placed into the phenomena as of yet. A 2009 study, shows that face recognition is an early cognitive function, but it didnt go into possibly evolutionary path for it. Carl Sagan is of the similar thought to you, Sensei.
Post by: Stove on February 27, 2010, 09:03:02 pm
I wonder what it says about my psychological state that I had so much difficulty spotting the "ghost" in the picture. Normally I experience pareidolia almost constantly when I look at anything with any degree of visual noise. Faces everywhere!

And I'm also a pirate and a viking, both of which can easily defeat a ninja, no matter what anyone says!
Interestingly, the psychology of pattern perception/magical thinking gave me some pretty interesting ideas about how magic should work in Dwarf Fortress. I planned to write up a big long post in the Suggestion forum, and then I discovered in one of the podcasts that many of the ideas I came up with were things Toady had already planned.

It's related to the way the brain works; you need to remember that the amount of information coming in through your 5 senses is far too much for the brain to have any hope of processing all of it. So the brain cheats, it only actually processes the important bits, and then it actually makes up the rest. 99.9% of the time it gets it right, because the brain is really good at making stuff up, sometimes it gets it wrong, and that leads to things like seeing faces out of the corner of your eyes, or thinking you heard something.
Of course, when it all goes wrong, you have hallucinations.
The only real reproducable example of this is the blind spot, an area of your vision that the eye cannot actually see because the retina gets in the way, your brain is constantly making up the contents of the blind spot, and if you know where it is and how to use it, you can have great fun with it. I used to amuse myself in long classes by using it to erase my teacher's head, as the brain would look at the 'border' of the blind spot, determine that the border was mostly the white space of the whiteboard, and so fill the blind spot with white space, erasing the teacher's head.

How did you arrest your eye well enough to make that work? I can't seem to hold my blind spot still for longer than a second.
I started doing this again reading these forums. It's really easy to do it for you left eye. Just read the forums with only your left eye. As you read along, suddenly the poster's avatar will vanish, replaced by the grey background of the forum. I noticed Captain Mayday's "&" vanishing while reading Nist Akath last year and I can't stop myself from trying to make other avatarts vanish. :P

Elves are too good to have pupils.
Goblins eyes glow.
Dwarves have a grey membrane over their eyes (like a second eyelid) that keeps out dust. As such, their pupils are rarely visible.

Carp, elephants, bronze colossi, titans and dragons. And there's no cage anywhere. Notice how you are never safe from The Carp.

Back would make more sense, having them on the front like that would cause horrible spine injuries (large breasts already do this, large breasts and large sacks of water would be terrible.)They live in caves under deserts and yeah they use heavy wrappings to travel around.

Also, i feel it is worth mentioning that with that skin colour, they'd need to wear more persian\indian style covering (basically wrapped from head to toe in light fabric) to avoid sunburn.

A quick check reveals that Camels do indeed store fat, not water, in their humps. Their humps let them go for weeks without food, the reason they need small amounts of water is because their internal body temperature can increase to about 40 - 41C with no ill effect, and they don't need to sweat to cool their body down until it reaches that temperature, unlike Humans, who at that core body temperature are in deep shit. Combine that with their thick fur which helps protect their skin from the direct radiant heat of the sun (and sunburn) and you has a camel.
So yeah.
You didn't do any science at all for that race did you, you just wanted an excuse to draw a girl with four boobs :P

I know that camels store fat not water, however I thought that they still collect water there somehow (in fat layers).
Apparantly not, Camels survive without water by just not sweating. Which is how pretty much all desert creatures work.

Anyways, at the start of the flashback there was something like rural maldives? Whatever ruural Moldavie meant.
Post by: Areyar on March 04, 2010, 06:37:26 pm
The bulldozer dwarf knocks over Wesleys house, who is annoyed about that and asks politely "What is this?!" , the other replies with I knocked over your house, W replies with ...yes, but why?!
I am a bit impulsive, bye!
and the dozerdwarf goes away, but is chased mercilesly and caught.
Begging for mercy, he begins to tell the story of his life. Triggering a bewildering flashback:
Indeed he is the product of a russian dozer and a simple maldavian heroinfarmer dwarf, unfortunately farming was collectified and all the other dwarves touched his wife, he then died from looking at abstract art. His mom opened a bistro on another planet, but went bankrupt because it is uninhabited. That is why he knocked the house over.
and all is forgiven.

The cartoon is part of an actualities program, so probably tied to a current topic or event.
In this case probably a medical study linking terrorism with childhood trauma or something.
Anyhow, the part where daddy dies from a bad rendition of abstract art made me think of DF. Probably glossed over the part where he throws a tantrum about the art and lkills all the other farmers. :)

The whole thing made absolutely no sense, at all, and I don't see how its related to DF.

Exactly. Please more DF-related stuff to inspire me to draw something serious. If you haven't noticed yet, I do it because there's so small amount of people posting anything about DF, that it does not inspire me at all, and I doubt there was a single cool DF joke in the last 20 or so pages.

As long as we're pointing out inconsistencies, notice that one leg is bent at a right angle, the other leg is straight, but the feet are adjacent
Perspective and angled hips. His right hip is angled forward and he's leaning forward, meaning the perspective puts his feet near each other.
The big question is why he's in that position; given the stance he's taking, he should have his right leg elevated and his left foot on the ground, at the moment he's hopping forward on his right leg.

I'm going to use DF combat mechanics. Dwarves losing limbs and flying across the chessboard.
Splatters of blood covering the tiles and the walls and stuff. Also messages. It should be pretty fun.
For now it's just going to be a virtual chessboard, though. No online, no AI.

If I fixed the edges and put some burns here and there, smudged the lines and stuff it could turn out okay.

Post by: shadow_archmagi on March 09, 2010, 07:07:45 am
That is, it could be like
"Everything that is pretty small is size one. This is like, roaches and bugs and stuff. Then the really big roaches are size two...
Then anything about the size of a large dog is the fifth size, and then after dogs are small people, that's the sixth size"
So the only thing seperating any two sizes is how many benchmarks toado felt was appropriate.

I has an elaborate set i got for christmas from my grandparents, the pieces are all made out of wrought metals (pawns are copper, ships are bronze, knights are a kind of black iron, rooks are polished steel, queen is pewter inlaid with silver, king is gold inlaid with platinum) which has ships in it. It's actually kind of fun having these boats floating around instead of priests. Although it does get a little confusing at first as you sit there going "black bishop t- where's my black bishop?"This is a *traditional chess set*. All craftmanship is of the highest quality. It is decorated with copper pawns. It is decorated with bronze ships. It is decorated with iron knights. It is decorated with steel rooks. It is decorated with pewter queens. It is decorated with gold kings with inlaid platinum. On it is an image of a chess player and a chess player. the chess player is making a plaintive gesture. The image relates to the defeat of Acanthus117 by Neruz in 2010.

Fun fact: the Bishop piece in Chess was altered awhile back by the Christian (i think, might have been Catholic, or someone else) Church. Ever wondered why the Bishop moves diagonally and how that makes absolutely no sense? Well as it turns out, the piece used to be a 'Ship', and the Ships moved diagonally because Ships have to tack into the wind.
Always used to bug me (why do priests move diagonally!) until i found that out.
I once read a book about the history of chess, and the piece next to the king and queen with diagonal movement was usually a vizier/minister or an elephant. If you look at Chinese Chess you'll see this: one side has diagonal moving elephants, the other ministers. The arabic versions of the game also had that feature. Wikipedia bears me out as well, if you investigate their secondary sources.
Although the idea of ships sounds cool, usually the ship was the replacement for the rook/chariot.

Interesting, Wikipedia only seems to follow Chess's history back to around the first century AD though, and iirc the stuff about ships was from an earlier period.
Ovbiously i could be wrong, but even if i am i don't really care, because having the Bishops be Ships makes sense.

Spoiler: Teaser! (click to show/hide)
Anyway, it's coming along quite nicely!
The dwarves wander around randomly within their squares.
Next, to implement drag-and-drop. Then combat and blood splatter.
Originally I was going to do a tile-based thing like in DF, but
I decided it would be WAY cooler to do pixel-by-pixel randomized splatter.
I'm going to implement smears when dwarves walk (or are thrown) through splatters.
Also, pawns will be drafted when they fight, and will be able to level up to weapon-users and even weapon-lords.
Knights will be able to level up as well. And units will pick up weapons that other units drop, changing their title.
None of this will have any effect on the mechanics of the game, just on the mechanics of the combat stuff.
Axes and swords lead to more blood and parts. Crossbows will fire before they move. Hammers throw stuff.
It's gonna be awesome.
I've got some projects to do tomorrow, though, so it might be a while before I can show it off.

I usually don't finish projects, so I will need you guys urging me on if I'm even gonna get that far.
I wasn't really planning on using a damage model. I was just going to fiddle with numbers until the
soundness of the whoopings and the volume of the bloody messes were to my liking. Something like
silver = 0, copper = 1, bronze = 2, iron = 3, steel = 4, and quality works pretty much the same way.
If you want me to use a damage model, I'll definitely consider it. Give me the math, and I'll work it in.
Anyway, now I've got it printing out the units' names and professions when you click on them! Fun stuff!
...
EDIT: I should probably be working on my project for tomorrow, but this is way more fun.

On another note: The bishop in chess was originally a ship iirc.
Did this just come up again??? After I conclusively disproved this as scurrilous rumor?
Also, the in-progress chessboard looks spiffy.

This is based on one of the player characters from my RPG, Raith Darkwaters the Goblin Warrior.
I wanted to draw him because of his character's ridiculous inventory and fashion choices (boar tusks implanted in mouth, greaser hair and trenchcoat on a goblin..)
his character also has zero charisma due to disfigurement caused by an Orc punching him in the face.

They fly some distance, and eventually stop and just hang there in the air.
They don't land, and so they don't die. Which totally locks up the game...
If anybody wants to take a look, I think this is where I'm having trouble:
Code: [Select]
if((x>destX-2 && x<destX+2)
&&(y>destY-2 && y<destY+2)){I want this if() statement to trigger when the dwarf (x, y) is within two pixels of (destX, destY).
Shouldn't that code work?
EDIT:
Oh, wait, nevermind.
WITHIN two pixels, so I should use <3 and >3.
Okay, now the only problem is that they don't land when they hit the walls. I think I can figure that one out.

Spoiler: River Tam Beats Up Everyone (click to show/hide)
We now have full drag-and-drop combat action, splatters and smears, color-coded boundary boxes
(which go away during battles and get brighter and easier to see when you hold down the mouse button),
and leveling-up (with appropriate speed and power boosts). For a while there was a capability of sliding
along the walls if you hit them and your momentum wasn't expended yet, but they were glitching out when
they got to the end of their momentum and they didn't fall. So for now, you just stop when you hit a wall.
It is now fully functional! Tomorrow I will figure out how to make it into an executable .jar file so I can share it.
Then it's on to the fun stuff:
Weapons (with materials and qualities determining effectiveness)
Class-ups (recruit -> hammerdwarf -> hammerlord -> champion, for example)
And messages printing to the bottom of the screen. All the dwarves already have professions and random names.
So it'll be really easy to get stuff like "King Urist Shinyanvil has been struck down!" or whatever. Should be fun.
Anyway, I'm not quite done with it yet, but it's a finished project! I'll upload version 1.0 tomorrow sometime.

They were kind of distracting before.
I still want to do something with my smearing algorithm.
Right now, smearing just produces more red, smearable pixels.
Leave a guy in a square with a little blood, and eventually it'll be completely covered.
If I can't fix it tomorrow, I'll give you guys a version with the crazy smearing.
But hopefully I'll be able to work all the kinks out before I hand it over.
Acanthus/Karnewarrior: Your eagerness is well-merited. I will never play boring chess again. ^^

And as for the percentage thing, I've kinda been trying to avoid storing blood as objects of any kind.
Right now they're just drawn straight onto the background as red pixels. That might be my only option though...
Anyway, I'll look at it again tomorrow. G'night, Bay 12.
Post by: Ironhand on March 12, 2010, 10:58:35 pm
I could use a very specific Green-Blue value to designate an unsmearable tile.
Something small enough (say 1) that you wouldn't actually notice a difference.
But tiles with color (200, 0, 0) would be smearable and those with (200, 1, 1) would not.
Huh. That's actually pretty smooth, if it works. I think I'll give it a shot.
Thanks, Neruz.
Tomorrow, though.
Goodnight for real, Bay 12.

I actually made it go up to 30 G 30 B, so the dry, smeared blood looks a bit browner than the fresh stuff.

Also, random team colors are assigned. Eventually, you'll be able to choose your team color.
But I haven't built any sort of UI apart from the actual chessboard yet, so that'll all be V1.1.

as for the beard, it's supposed to resemble a billy-goat's chin-hair rather than a proper dwarven beard.

I thought he looked piratey.. the barbed tail comes from when a reader saw an uncoloured page of effigies and thought that a kobold's spear was actually its tail. I kinda just ran with it, it makes them look unique.

Basically there were:
Goblins
Orcs
Uruks
Goblins were smaller orcs which lived under misty mountains. Orcs were common evil beings, somehow initially turned into orcs from elves. Uruks (Uruk-Hai, "orc folk") were orc-humans, either halfbred (orcs and humans) or turned from humans in the same way as orcs were turned from elves, there's no definite opinion.
Uruk-Hai called Orcs "Snaga", which means "slaves".
Post by: Neruz on March 31, 2010, 08:13:19 pm
iirc; 'Orcs' were actually a specific breed of Goblin that Sauron had been cultivating; the Black Orcs of Mordor i think it was. But then there was another kind of Orc that came from that forest place that i can't remember the name of.

What i meant was it looks like he's not actually wearing a helmet; his collar has just been extended up over his face. It brings to mind a both hilarious and frightening image, since the fact that he's fine wearing an eyehole-less tube for a helmet proves that he doesn't need to see.

The first one complains about the second sitting in his bedroom. The second complains about the first being in his office. (Assign fun)
(Just found something funny. Had a glassmaker arrive on the border of the screen in a new game. THe first thing she does is going in a fey mood, then go berserk. Then an elven caravan shows up. I am facepalming and laughing, then I realize that the elves are going right to my home. I quickly put together a band of militia (eight in number) and throw them against her. They quickly go and put him down, and fight for sometime, and then a dog joins the fight. This all results in over 80 pages of fight report.)

I always pictured them like diminutive super-deformed rodents, bumbling around and gnawing on your food supplies.
also, considering their biology consists of hair, skin, and fat, it makes more sense that they'd be an uncomplicated, blob-like creature rather than a form that would require skeletal support.

The way I picture cave fish is inspired by this passage from THE HOBBIT:
Quote from: Riddles in the Dark
He could not
swim; and he thought, too, of nasty slimy things, with big bulging blind eyes, wriggling in the water. There are strange things living in the pools and lakes in the hearts of mountains: fish whose fathers swam in, goodness only knows how many years ago, and never swam out again, while their eyes grew bigger and bigger and bigger from trying to see in the blackness.
Of course, seeing as how in the raws they actually have NO EYES (which makes sense scientifically, but is less evocative in a fantasy world...) my picture is COMPLETELY innacurate.

This is a BLOOD MAN, one of the crazy new animals from down in the deep caverns. Seeing as how blood men are basically humanoid-shaped bags of blood, I put a lot of effort into making him look contorted and obscene. The veins and the scabs are all there for the creepy-factor. I wanted him to have teeth, but the raw files say that he doesn't.

Actually, don't they already exist as Shardminds, as of PHB3? In all their artwork, they'rereddarkish pink.
Actually you're right. Cept i don't think DF's Amethyst Golems are psychic, and Shardminds can be whatever colour they like.
fourth edition has gloom golems, so I don't see why there can't be golems of other emotions.
In flamboyancy an emotion?
No, but i'm sure with MAGIC! it could be done anyway.

Amethyst is so not an element.Don't nitpick the words :). These are just gem-golems which are everywhere in different games. Obviously they are all various incarnations of the earth sphere, and thus earth elementals.

the hugs/kisses elemental is (according to the previous description) a nice guy. which is whole other levels of creepy.
BTW I deleted all trace of this pic from my computer.. it only exists on the internet now...
Hey, Fault, H.P. Lovecraft called. He's suing you for copyright infringement.Dude, Cthulhu mythos is public domain! I've drawn stuff from it before...
in my opinion, this is worse. It's all in the uncanny valley - cthulhu isn't as creepy because he's usually green. This thing looks creepier bacause it's flesh-coloured. It hits closer to home.

it's saliva (I stated that when I posted the pic), so it should have some semblance of transparency - but effects like that are hard to make in MS paint. blueish-white was the closest I could get.
maybe I should change it to blood, or something less creepy.

But that's the best part! It's creepier because it completely defies logic regarding its appearance. That and it's an eldritch horror.

I've seen various demons in the legends, koala demon, zebra demons, geckos and lizards seem pretty common for me, saw a bear one, a few water demons such as rain feinds and flood demons, demons of various colors. Just boost up the number of demon types in the advanced worldgen options and you'll see a huge variety of demons. There was this mole demon which led a huge goblin civ in one world.
Fault, how about a mole demon which led countless battles (ok not countless, but that one led pratically every battle for 300 years, of which there were many) as the law-giver of a goblin civ, and I recall from the description of the demon that it shot webs. Probably the reason why it killed everybody that tried to kill it. Besides bieng a mole twisted into humanoid form and shooting webs, I don't remember any other details about it.

Where do webs come out of a mole? Do you know which mole hole throws a flow of webbing?
I thought it was maybe shooting web from it's hands. Of course though, it could be shooting from its nose (snot web, lol) or its mouth.
Actually, if it was shooting from the mouth, wouldn't it be called spittle instead?

I just basically took an ideally proportioned* face and tried to apply the description as a modifier - since it only points out what makes the creature stand out.
I like it. Is it hard to draw something like that from a few, overly specific, lines?
Of course, I messed up on a few points, like the hugemongous braincase she ended up with. Here's the in-game description, for comparison;
Her hair is extremely long. She is tall and incredibly skinny. Her teeth are widely-spaced. Her deeply sunken red eyes are slit. Her somewhat narrow head is somewhat short. Her short nose is extremely narrow. Her nose bridge is concave. Her somewhat tall ears are flattened. She has a round chin. Her eyebrows are somewhat long**. Her hair is dark scarlet. Her skin is fern green.
@Mephansteras: Thanks! Anyone is welcome to it if they want it.
Actually, I'd be happy to make something similar for somebody else's adventurer.
*for a goblin, I mean. :p
** I took this to mean that they went far out on the side of her head, rather than they were long-haired.

I'm working on migrating my mod over to the new version, and I'm trying to decide exactly what the Sand Raiders are going to look like. Before I just sort of invisioned them always wrapped up in robes and head scarfs and whatnot, so I didn't have a clear idea of what they looked like underneath all that. So far I've decided that they have black to greyish skin and black or dark blue hair. But I need to differentiate them from humans a bit more.
So, please draw me your interpretation of Sand Raiders! They're mostly human sized, males are stronger than females but not as agile. They wear robes and other desert appropriate apparel and tend to use spears, scimitars, and bows and wear iron chain armor.

So...yeah, Dwarves, Elves, and Goblins are all a good bit smaller than humans. But not so much that they'd seem to be children, I don't think.

I don't know, if 70000 is twelve-years-old, 60000 sounds about right for a ten-year old. And yes, right now, goblins, dwarves and elves are the same size and can wear the same clothing.
Yeah...but they stop growing at 12 as far as the game is considered, so it's a bit wonky. Assuming an average human were 6' tall, an average goblin would be 5' 1" tall. So, short, but no worse then a lot of asians I know IRL.
Odd conversation...
Post by: NinjaE8825 on April 14, 2010, 04:47:21 pm
If we assume an average of 5 foot 3 inches for men, the goblin male ends up on average 4 feet 6 inches.
Assuming they're sexually dimorphic like humans, the women would be even tinier.

So, short, but no worse then a lot of asians I know IRL.I always considered one DF size-unit as 25 cm. So a human's 175 cm, or about 5' 9". This also made dwarves (in 40d) 150 cm, or 5'. It was pretty consistent with other creatures and is fairly easy to work with. As for the new size tags, I like to follow the wiki's statement. That the size is (roughly) the weight in grammes. This also corresponds to the classic view of human-sized, but fragile elves. They're the same size, but lighter and more slender.
Odd conversation...
Also, the new size-tag could also allow for more realistic growth patterns. Add another one at age 18 or at whichever point it's fully grown and alter the one at 12 years. Or add a couple tags to have it be even more realistically.

Right now, when something goes in magma, its fat and skin melt off and they get burned, but this doesn't kill them. You should draw what a dwarf looks like after he's been left to burn in 5/7 magma for a week and comes out, made only of muscle, bone and organs, and on fire. And pissed.

Ngerxung Liedevils the Slave of Seducers was a wolf brute. She was the only one of her kind. A great feathered wolf twisted into humanoid form. It murmurs horrible curses. Its vermilion feathers are long and sparse. Beware its poisonous sting. Ngerxung was associated with jealousy.
I looked her up because I saw the name when I was looking up other stuff and thought "Slave of seducers" was an interesting title. And a feathered wolf monster is kind of interesting sounding, although it's fairly tame compared to some other stuff. She apparently became the leader of a goblin civilization with a wave of popular support. Over the next 1000 years, she murdered 33 goblins. Presumably out of jealousy.

This is just a magma golem of some sort and a dwarven adventurer standing to face it. Charred skeletons around the cavern that it has killed.

This is more of just a picture I did for fun and to practice anatomy. But it was inspired by the ant men of DF. Plus I just love ants, they're so cool.

An idea for a comic I might do (for fun and drawing practice, obviously not to sell) where two people meet in a tavern. Again heavily inspired by DF.

it's not drawing them that I have a problem with.. it's drawing them a second time and maknig sure they look the same.dang that what gets me with drawing eyes.
Sorry for such big images and there being so many of them. This is a bit of a build up of drawings I've done overtime, mainly from excitement before the new build had come out. -cut to save room-still that wagon looks flat next to the downward stairwell but the detail on it looks great, and I love environment and the little details you add to them like twigs and the rocks.

I made a human adventurer just to check what size elf clothing was in relation to humans (it's small instead of narrow now). He managed to kill an acolyte of the fugitive elf civ that was hanging out near the subjugated forest retreat. Then i retired him in that forest retreat. The cool thing is, the human civ he was from all wear awesome bronze masks.
Then i made a dwarf adventurer to check the size of elf clothes in relation to him. So he traipses down to that forest retreat to compare with the human-civved elves there (they fit dwarves now). Then he recruited my retired human swordsman there and went to the nearby dark fortress which for some reason i thought his civ was at war with (it wasn't). So to relieve the boredom i rounded up all the child prisoners (mostly dwarves and 2/3 humans) and recruited them and then asked the resident coal devil master (a kangaroo twisted into human form made of coke. Beware its poisonous vapor!) for a quest. He asked me to kill the only Hydra in the world.
I then had the cool idea to pretend that killing the Hydra was the price the demon asked for me to free all the children without fear of reprisal. Since he was a demon, we made sure to bring the children with us so he wouldn't go back on his word. The Hydra actually went down really quick, we chopped off 5 of its heads and it bled to death before it got anywhere near any of the children. Then after poking around in the cave (the cavern it connected to was completely cut off by water) we went to the capital of the human civ and retired there.
There were actually quite a few more children in our group than are depicted in this group portrait, but i figured 15 was enough. I imagine that after this the two adventurers will build an orphanage/academy for whatever kids can't go back to their families. ;D

Its actually hardcoded and not in the raws (or rather they are hardcoded raws, I think) and there are already zebra demons and maybe horse demons. Plus if you look at the string dump on the wiki, the demon types include plenty of animals already in DF. So it would just be a wording change.

I have a general request that I'd like to get several artistic impressions of.
I'm working on migrating my mod over to the new version, and I'm trying to decide exactly what the Sand Raiders are going to look like. Before I just sort of invisioned them always wrapped up in robes and head scarfs and whatnot, so I didn't have a clear idea of what they looked like underneath all that. So far I've decided that they have black to greyish skin and black or dark blue hair. But I need to differentiate them from humans a bit more.
So, please draw me your interpretation of Sand Raiders! They're mostly human sized, males are stronger than females but not as agile. They wear robes and other desert appropriate apparel and tend to use spears, scimitars, and bows and wear iron chain armor.
Reposting this request to see if anyone is interested in drawing them.

Thanks Ungelateman, I really want to get better at illustrating, I tried for an hour today to draw an acceptable pic of a dwarf escaping from a flooded tunnel to illustrate the end of this: http://lodestones.wordpress.com/2010/04/29/the-sacrifice/
But in the end it looked like a marshmallow with a wet beard trapped in a cofeecup, I deleted it.
I really like the simple, yet badass quality of your dwarves, what program do you use? I'm still struggling to find an acceptable, quick medium to illustrate my blog with, so far its just copy paste from screenshots.

Hehe, well you didn't know about it because I just started it last week, I wrote the stories, I'll try to keep it updated twice a week. I'm looking for constructive criticism and am more than open to collaboration. I just started playing DF a few weeks ago, so I'm brand new to the forums.
Nothing too dramatic has happened so far, but today it got interesting; the apostate dwarf kubuk was just sent in to battle a dwarf who went insane, I found this line of the battle report particularly hillarious;
" The Apostate strikes the peon in the upper body with her (horse leather left mitten) but the attack is deflected by the Peon's (pig tail fiber cloak)"
I'm absolutely loving the DF combat system! it makes for some hilarious stories. 8)

I drew another goblin, although with a different design aesthetic in mind. Rather than make him look like a cowardly, savage wretch, this goblin is designed for brutal efficiency and determination. His people are fearless and powerful, with a culture centered around an individual's status as a warrior.
His name is Kracknob.

Man, I don't normally bring up something that far back in a thread, but I feel I have to say something on this one, namely because it's going to force me to figure out how the blazes castes work and if vermin can breed.
See, the thing is, that wambling bugger looks entirely too much like a rabite. DF also has a delightful material that's more or less black
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I'm not too sure how the dwarves are going to react to a milkable creature that probably weighs more than half the population (Pet and trainable, ohyes.), but it'll be interesting to find out.
So thanks, Fault, even if you didn't intend the Mana homage. Much carnage will likely ensue... in a few days, anyway. Sleep first, heh.

I've bought some stuff, including a new sketchbook. So I deflowered the first page with a dwarven merchant! (I've got a seeeeecreeeet plan that I hope to do). You can't see it, but imagine there's a cattle attached to that brace.
I don't usually use coloring pencils, but hey, they came for free with something xD
Also, I get the NC reference with the duck tits, but those are monkeys! (Then again, a famous monkey is called Donkey... so maybe her name could be Duck :-\)

The one with a bear trap. He seems front heavy art-wise. So having a plume or something going backward or whatever could help balance the thing out.
-edit: I guess he needs a frown/eyebrows of sort, too, to fit the rest of the guies.

The three give me the feeling of goblins that grew up outside of actual goblin society, probably around humans. Ogo Nolnuklat and his two stupid bruisers brothers Ogom and Dotom. while Goblins such as those encountered in DF proper and most other fantasy setting without a balancing factor for the monstrous races would be more of the Me smash you now and eat your bones, or Me sneak you to giant hole and it smash you and me eat your bones.
This is by no means against your art style or skill, it is simply that they don't fit in my mind as goblins, looking more like a riddles and games sort of sinister as apposed the sharp point object sinister.
Post by: Vester on May 06, 2010, 03:04:40 am
I guess that's the main reason for the Orc mod back in 40d. Why make goblins, who are characteristically sneaky and back-stabby, more powerful when you can mod in a race for whom it makes more sense?

That thing is creepy. I wonder how do you make this awesome "grainy" texture, do you paint it over or apply a filter over your color?
Also cool solution about 8-legged quadruped; it's creative :).
what's your medium? (also, I like your picture)
Thanks for all the responses, it encourages me to do more work. ^^
The medium is digital - Photoshop and a Wacom.
The texture was part painting, part textures, part filters and part layer composition. >.> I locked transparency and used a smooth brush to put in the first layers of shading, then a rough brush in several different shades to add interest. Then I made a layer with a rock texture on top of that, then I turned the top layer to Linear Burn, then I messed with filters on the base layer, then I squished them, then I attacked it with the brush, smudge, dodge and burn tools. And then I think I duplicated the layer and set the new one to overlay, and lowered its opacity.
...I think. There were probably more steps than that in there, when it's something new I tend to just push it until it feels... well, not right, but not so wrong >.>. I actually have a version without all the gloom around the feet, but it wouldn't blend into the background properly that way, and I figured if it was in a cavern it wouldn't be seen very brightly anyway.

Ironblood didn't use an axe because he had to.
He used an axe to be kind.
<pic>
And right now,
he wasn't being
kind
This perplexed my friend, who was then told a short version of Ironbloods nude battle vs the hydra, and then the massacre of the baron. He quickly asserted that if Ironblood had thrown him through six feet of stone instead of using the wall to deconstruct the baron, that would have been much more awsome.
I pointed out that Ironblood didn't give a flying f***, and we laughed all the way to my bike.
And thats my story. I wish my scanner wasn't broken, it was a good pic.

if there's no demon to conquer them, they could have kings or warlords or maybe even presidents, the possibilities are limitless
also, within the effigies setting, the function of demons is served by trolls. They occupy a place of honour in goblin society, and only the goblin priests may speak to them (the goal of which is usually to convince the troll to aid them in waging war)

His appearance was also intended to help him relate to the goblin soldiers (the king's purpose is to lead armies). He has no crown because the usual soldier wears no helm. That and, aside from excessive decoration, his regalia is functionally identical to a soldier's uniform.
He commands through charisma and presence alone - he needs no crown to elevate his position.

Post by: Techhead on May 06, 2010, 11:02:22 pm
yeah I figured they needed a weakness. I'm not providing an in-story reason for their iron "allergy", though. It will intentionally go unexplained.If you really wanted an explanation, though, you could call it a species-wide mutation in the hemoglobin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobin) gene. The mutation would cause red blood cells to catalyze metallic iron and turn it into free iron in the bloodstream. This would then cause immediate cell death in the wound and iron overload (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_overload) throughout the rest of the body.
Iron weaponry should leave really nasty wounds on goblins... like big, smoking burning scars filled with coagulated blood.
If you don't want an explanation, then that's okay too.
P.S. I actually did research on this. It's still fantasy pseudoscience, though.

At first, I, too, thought he needed a crown, but was struck by how odd that would seem. Totally agree that his baldness adds flavor.
He looks...dressed up. Is he going to a parade? Armor pounded to look like skulls? How about some real skull decorations? To be the badass-leader-that-doesn't-need-a-crown-but-omits-an-air-of-command he needs more trinkets from his kills - a bit more of a mishmash of useful but conquered civ armor, perhaps an elven dagger in his boot (or attached to the front of his boot to kick lessers with), a jeweled broad belt taken from a dwarven duke, a few chains of esses from the human lords that he felled.
Big fan of your work - but yuk him up some.

I can imagine that the Forgotten Beast was like "Ha ha! Looks like it's delicious pony time for me!"
And then the pony was like "No. Now is serious kicking time."
And then the Forgotten Beast was like "WTF!! NOOOOooooooo..... "

Also, I'm not using any sources or anything, so my proportions might be off.

Quick! Fault! Give The goblin king a canon name so that he becomes a fad!His name in Effigies is going to be "Rook" (like the chess piece). I chose it because it has an air of royalty (rooks being castles and all) while still sounding blunt and violent.

If you're still bored after the other pictures I'd still like an interpretation of my Sand Raiders.
I meant to have a go at this the first time you asked, here's my interpretation.
Not particularly imaginative, they have dark skin obviously because they live in the desert, plus they have no ears (because they live in the desert, all that sand, maybe they cup there hands if they want to hear something far away) and the women wear muslin face masks because

Look again, it looks like she has no breasts and all. All I see are round muscles called "pectoralis".And their women are flat because of those damn desert winds. I see :P.Deon, I understand your thing and all, but that is in no way resembling flat.
Maybe her clothes "constrain" them, but I doubt so. You would want your breasts to be free in such heat, so she would have at least SOMETHING hanging. I've been to deserts a lot of times, and my wife always compained about sweat there and couldn't wear a bra. So I don't see your point :).
P.S. Here's a pic desribing a difference between a no-breast/small-breast:

It doesn't deny the fact that they are between A and C :).

I am now imagining an elaborate network of large water jars buried underground, forming a relay system that allows long treks across the wider parts of the desert. And a whole social class of people whose job it is to keep them filled, ferrying large water caravans across the sands, perhaps carried on some biologically questionable giant desert crabs. Yeah, definitely want to see giant desert crabs.

Also I have a friend of mine, she has an athletic build and her "friends" are almost as big as those four (I mean two for one). And she's a nice girl, not a monster. Yeah she shoots for money, but still she's a nice person.

I believe the issue was more with four-breasts, which raises an interesting question about your friends that I would like pictures of.As I said, "her "friends" are almost as big as those four", and by this I meant breasts, they are surgically enchanced which I do not approve but it's none of my business. About pics, I may find some in her profile on vkontakte.ru (it's like a russian facebook) but I have to ask her before i show them, it's just impolite otherwise.
Also yeah, it's not a big deal. Let's better discuss sting-penises Fault likes to discuss :3.
P.S. I have a better idea. LET'S DRAW SOMETHING.

Given the bugginess of the present version, surely its absurdities could furnish all manner of inspiration for the typically awkward and somewhat nonsensical
(but nonetheless utterly hilarious) comics that are usually made about Dwarf Fortress.

They can be domesticated, and although slow, can carry heavy loads without tiring. They are also very low-maintenance; quartz crabs are omnivorous and can subsist on very little food and virtually no water.
I am also considering a secondary energy source of symbiotic thermophilic bacteria, although that might just maybe push things from implausible to completely absurd. :)

Looking at her head proportions she's obviously a girl still.

You'll have to ask Mephansteras for the official answer, but in my alternate dimension, where the Sand People girl's have small (no?) breasts and low, big hips, it's just a cultural thing.
Sexual selection has made them that way, as the king of the Sand People decreed along time ago that low, big hips are where it's at.
(? bear with me here I'm making it up as I go along).
Also the sexual dimorphism in the males probably points to something or other that means the big guys live long enough to procreate. Maybe the ones that haven't fought are shunned by the females - small guys die in battle, therefore 'big' genes tend to make it to the next generation.

I agree. And I totally think Soadreqm should run with the symbiotic thermophilic bacteria, that's a great idea. Absurdity be damned!

There's not a lot of awesome background-painters here.
Hmm... sounds like I should pause after this next dwarf image I'm working on and go back to landscapes for a bit to see what I can knock up. Been a while since I've dabbled in ye old landscape art - back at uni to be precise XD Not that they'll be as awesome as the ones I've seen here, but one can only try!

Dabbled? Haha. Nice joke. :)
*blink* It may just be because it's 3am, but I'm not sure what joke you're referring to. I just used the word dabbled because back at uni we were required to do a broad range of different things, and most of it wasn't landscape (I was rather upset when the "Let's go out to the country and paint!" holiday class was cancelled, that would have been wonderful to experience)
The atmosphere of the landscapes I've seen here have been beautiful - the colour choices and sheer presence of them have made me quite envious and inspired me to try some myself ^^ (after my current pic is finished, just completed laying down the flats).

That demon appears to have no feet and shoulderblades in the front. Still cool, although I liked the idea of a race whose only facial feature is their gaping maws.yeah I'm not so proud of that pic, it'd been laying around a while and I thought I should at least do something with it.
The idea with his facial features was that under his monstrous armour the demon appears innocent and pure while still comitting horrible and violent acts. Like a juxtaposition, so to speak. Gotta fix those front-shoulders though...
Homage to Conan punching out the camel?Possibly... also a bit inspired by VINLAND SAGA (manga about vikings) where one guy stops a charging horse by PUNCHING IT IN THE CHEST

I'm still waiting for someone to draw a stangler. I'm suprised nobody has.
I think people have already attempted to draw stanglers. It's just that the strangler sneaks up behind them and kills them before they can post the pictures.

OH. MY. GOD.
Man, we need some legends for this straight away.
Maybe dwarves discovered the fossilised bones of a titan in their hills, older and larger than anything before witnessed, and a mechanic in a macabre mood grabbed a pick, a metric shit-ton of iron and the keys to the magma levers, and did... well, this.

Looks simply awesome, (and now on to the critique) although at first I thought it was a kind of golem in the middle of steam and smoke. It lacks some background to give a sense of scale. It could use some details such as stomping on a tiny elf or dwarves looking out from the arches on its shoulder. I originally had imagined it being made of the mountain itself, so it would have some trees hanging around, perhaps some undertree mushrooms too, to look like the insane dwarves just grabbed a big chunk of the mountain and put legs on it... :P
Nevertheless awesome, although as it is now I'd call it a dwarven golem, not a walking fortress :D

It would be impossible to get everyone's permission to do that, but it might be cool to start a DF fan club on DA if there isn't one already.

Kelbin: I like the ASCII art. Those little bugs are adorable.
Lokii: The kobold from a few pages back is nice. The patchy skin looks kind of weird, though. Like it was a plush toy or something.

Beard of crystals, because one of hair isn`t solid enough for dwarven awesomeness?
He is just sloppy when he drinks, and he's in a freezing biome, so his beard crystallized.

We see the mysterious otherartist is fulfilling the role of the watcher and the watched, playing with our expectations as artists and avid consumers of digital content. As the artist says, "it's really good art."
Their art - whose - in that fan art competition? The they is projected outwards, onto the other, and the drones of the internet seem to hover closer with every word. Look at those lines of space! Look at the boundaries of the text and the whimsical flatness of tone!
This is interactive art as fully noninteractive, a nonpresence, a social critique on space and what it truly means to have your work criticised by the faceless robots of the internet.
I am hoping that they could win from the contest.

This is just an alpha but it aims for a week-long sessions. Basically there will be a world started in the beginning at each week and you will be able to make houses, towns and trade all around a semi-large world (not too big but not too small). Then it will somehow end, because too long MMORPG projects tend to become boring and end with massive clanwars and griefing. Oh also newcommers have to grind a lot to be something.
Here you will be able to start anew each week and play whoever you want. You will still be better if you play more, but you can hang out as a commoner as well without being slain by 60 lvls in +10 items around each corner.
Also we think about starting as a child. Well, there're a lot of cool ideas around.
P.S. I hope I will be able to drag more people in DF with this :). I was able to invite about 10 people total during the last half of a year into the great Toady's world... I hope this one makes it better ;). We need to advertise DF in more ways, and creative ways are the best IMHO.
P.S.

You play as a dwarf, it's like adventure mode with graphics and fortress mode abilities (digging, crafting, hunting and stuff).sounds awesome.
This is just an alpha but it aims for a week-long sessions. Basically there will be a world started in the beginning at each week and you will be able to make houses, towns and trade all around a semi-large world (not too big but not too small). Then it will somehow end, because too long MMORPG projects tend to become boring and end with massive clanwars and griefing. Oh also newcommers have to grind a lot to be something.
Here you will be able to start anew each week and play whoever you want. You will still be better if you play more, but you can hang out as a commoner as well without being slain by 60 lvls in +10 items around each corner.
Also we think about starting as a child. Well, there're a lot of cool ideas around.
P.S. I hope I will be able to drag more people in DF with this :). I was able to invite about 10 people total during the last half of a year into the great Toady's world... I hope this one makes it better ;). We need to advertise DF in more ways, and creative ways are the best IMHO.
P.S.

I roamed around in adventure mode, and noticed a human town with almost all people as priests... They all were worshipping a goddess of blight and death. I've decided to draw their high priestess.I like the style. The unnatural pose and the strange lumps on her shoulders really do bring out the blight aspect. The face looks pretty mundane, although that's kind of disturbing all by itself. Like she's wearing someone else's face over her own or something. The hands could use some work.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And the constant joking about the breasts is starting to get a bit old. You people could at least try to be a bit more creative about it. Bring out new aspects rather than just repeat the old mantra of "Deon draws boobies lol".

Admittedly, it's a higher kill count, but there's a difference.
Your adventurer? You controlled them.
Tholtig Cryptbrain the Waning Diamonds? She killed those two thousand, nine hundred, and sixty-five beings by herself with no player intervention. She didn't have the ability to pinch people's skulls off or throw caterpillars with lethal force. And she almost matched you in kills.

I just remembered reading somewhere that Tholtig had the highest kill count of any dwarf in any mode. Tobul was a dwarf and I fugured I pulled off something.
They were all axe murders, I've never really been into the whole exploitation thing (and I think wrestling is boring), there might have been a few falling deaths here or there but in the end it was all Tobul and the axe.

That legendary dwarf got all her kills defending her home and honor from elves, a big plus in itself, and a cyclops(?) without human intervention. A "natural" occurance in that world...unguided by the great Toad (yet blessed by the RNG gods?)
Don't get us wrong...kudos to you & your powerful homicidal dwarf for killing thousands of sentient & some probably rare one of a kind creatures. Oh, Did she ever name her axe? or is that a fortress mode only thing?

Yeah naming the axe is a fortress mode thing. The engraving of longland grass on it is called Gospo Ronik "The crowds of scalding" so that's what I've been calling it.
Yeah, I can see the diffeence between an epic struggle to defend one's homeland and some whacko listening to the slayer discography cutting down hundreds for no reason other than liking the blood splattering everywhere.

you guys noticed our sad friend edited his post with better english? also, he now has a spammy signature, like a true spambotI checked out the service my trusted friend was promoting, and guess what? Their modus operandi seems to be placing ads in forum posts, signatures, blog comments and the like, to boost your rating in search engines. Starting at $399 a month, you too can get people saying how "this forum is a must for people like [them]" and linking you in their signatures. That's right, it is advertising the very website that sent the spambots. I am accepting this as proof that bernacj21 has achieved sentience and is trying to alert us to poor treatment he is subjected to at his workplace.

now yes I modded in a race of breeding bronze colossus to play around in, but that just what I did nothing else.
this fort had some strange things happen to it like a friendly fisherwoman coming to town. seeing a assassination of a demon turtle by a band of goblin thugs and said fisherwoman fish out our turtle supply after wiping out a band of raiding goblins.
but this... this takes the cake, when a goblin child whom raws never hold a tag like that ever burns the cap the outpost liaison was using to beat it to death.
then the goblins ambush us... oh man I think I had a high dose of modded super fun that day. mostly due to signing up 3 men to guard the fort. I also think they had web spinning abilities too.

Dwarf - elf relationships
As our little elvish caravan arrives we are greeted by a little creature - a dwarf. His pickaxe is covered in blood, he is only wearing one sock, one glove and an apron thats all. He is covered in spatter of blood and vomit. The retractable bridge over magma river is made from wood. How it doesn't burn? We wonder. Dwarf engineering?
Huge trade depot's hall is sunken in darkness and drops of lava in the ceiling don't mean anything good. The floor is covered with ash and what? Do we see donkey corpse? WAIT IS THAT BURNED ELVEN CARAVAN?
-Greetings tree hugging hi--- eerm elves, let's trade, when you enter we will retract the bridge, so we'll be safe from invaders. Don't worry everything is alright with the ceiling, are you interested in our booze or rock crafts? oh come here faster or magma will cool o--- or that goblin ambush attacks us.

Well, if ĺ is pronounced according to the Finnish/Swedish ĺ, then it's the same vowel sound as the o in "ore", or even in "oar". It can be short (making the name sound a bit like "box") or long (making it sound a bit like "balks"), you get to decide.

I'm afraid Cruxador may be right on this account, for the most part Bĺx was just another goblin child snatcher. If you actually treat any of the sapient entities as individuals then it becomes apparent that we're horrible horrible people. However they're not, so it's cool.

wrong:P sin city is pure black and pure white, with the ocasional colour. sometimes miller uses red, but i've seen yellow and blue also. blood is usually white.

I feel very uneasy with the head proportions (in comparison to the body) for some reason... It almost looks like a power armor :). At the same time this weirdness makes this picture quite unique and adds a style. I like it very much.

The picture details the battle of broken wands where an army of humans fought against a wizard in the year 1033.
The three knights strike triumphant. They are surrounded by undead.
The demon is bleeding. The fallen lie on the ground in a heap.

when a turtle shoots webs, do some threads stick to his shell?
will you get shells that are intrinsically adorned with hanging rings of turtle silk?
will the game crash when said shells are used to decorate?

And either way, they're still fay. In my mind, having round ears is a human trait, and outside the struggling human cities, the flickering beacons of civilization, is an inhospitable fairyland of elves and gnomes and dragons and dwarves. Yeah, dwarves have cities too, but they're different kind of cities. Thus; dwarves with pointy ears.

Point. Tolkien could talk for pages about trees and insert songs about something that happened a thousand years earlier, but he was still pretty vague with some of his descriptions. Well, the film version, at least, gave dwarves pointed ears.
No they didn't! (http://www.theonering.com/images/medialibrary/013.jpg) The Elves and Hobbits did in the films, which was based on some things (http://tolkien.slimy.com/essays/Ears.html) Tolkien wrote outside of The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. It has always been a debated point, though.

That is, in fact, not a dwarf. It is a baby that was carried by a human invader during a siege, and when the dwarves wanted to kill it, they saw it had a tiny booze bottle with him. The queen instantly adopted him, and always told him he was just a very big dwarf.

Do dwarves have a tendency to go prematurely bald?I think it's the head hair to beard ratio thing...with gravity's help, dwarves with awesome beards tend to redirect all nutrients into it leaving the "upper mountain devoid of trees" so to speak. They say only the most bad-ass dwarves can grow long head and beard hair equally without the help of goblin and elf blood and puke.

Well, here's my attempt at doing something based around DF in 3d. It was done in Blender, with some touchup in GIMP. The base human model isn't mine, I just changed its proportions and added a beard. So it ended up looking very humanlike. Warning: big image.He has an expression that he is revealed to reach the caverns, or is shocked and feared.Spoiler (click to show/hide)

'Least my dwarves seem to think so. They keep making engravings about the legendary meals our kitchens keep putting out.
You managed to make those plump helmets look really appetizing. For some reason I imagine them tasting like common mushrooms that have been injected with tomato juice.Oof, and then imagine what the wine would taste like. :d
I think the fact that they're purple makes me think of juicy fruit flavors, but still with mushroom texture. Which would be really strange.

Ino Shipboats the Deep Ghost of Oars was a forgotten beast. A huge feathered snail. It has wings and it undulates rhythmically. Its yellow-green feathers are downy. Beware its noxious secretions! Ino was associated with water, death and caverns.
And just in case you think it's cute, feel free to picture it eating your dwarves like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWwebIIAQR4). Alternatively, as a snail it probably has a radula (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radula), which is something like a tongue covered in sharp teeth. It could probably lick off all your flesh in a few passes. ;)

Great! Another masterpiece from our beloved Balathustrius :D.
You clearly improved your style. The only issue on the goblin you posted (the latest one) is the chainmail. It looks flat. You was probably just a bit lazy about it, so it's okay. It looks like a flat texture, not a 3d object. Other pieces of the goblin are really great, and I really like the amount of details and the face.
I think you can now be qualified as a book cover artist.

Quote from: Vox Nihili
Our past problems are nothing. They have come to this place, those that haunt dreams. The half-dwarves, the living-dead demons of another place. The lowly but fierce spawn of the Ever-Fallen Holistic Detective. They come bearing no weapons, for their useless regrown claws of hands could never hold anything meaningful. They come without clothes or armor. But imagine the fear that they must have struck in our look-out. Imagine seeing the 16 or so creatures, with their mottled gray, hairless, naked, twisted flesh. Their massive, slobbering maws where once was a mouth, taking up the entire space where a normal dwarf's face would be. Their eyes and nose, pushed bizarrely to the sides of their freakish head. But their mouth, oh Atith their mouth. They have no chin nor true beard, though long, spindly hairs grow both within and outside of the gaping hole in their head. Teeth line the gullet, growing first deep in the throat and covering the entire inside of the mouth, with several exposed through what remains of the monster's lips.
It is said that when the god Nemo fought the fell god-beast Holistic Detective, Nemo struck off both her hands, then slashed her face open along the mouth with his obsidian blade. Holistic Detective then used her now horribly enlarged mouth to tear Nemo in half, then descended to Hell, taking her rightful place at the head of the demons there. Now, her horrific descendants plague the land, conquering fortresses and towns alike, breeding madly like animals and consuming any who oppose them.
Later descriptions tell of a gaping hole in their chest that apparently serves as a second mouth (I believe their ribs served as teeth)

I may not be overly impressed by the dwarves/goblins in the picture (I think the main problems lie in composition, scaling and perspective).
But the way you draw and color the surrounding landscape is utterly AMAZING. Absolutely love the trees, sand and rocks!
Very fantasy-ish and idyllic!

an important idea for his outfit is that it has no pockets - all of his possessions are either hung from chains or stuffed in amongst the many belts he has wrapped around his person (I think this aesthetic helps to emphasize the thief-like nature of the race)

I know you explained it, but I can't help feel it's a little ridiculous. What's it take him to put all those on in the morning? Half an hour? Also he menaces with spikes. I know goblins like spikes, but I guess they really hate hugs also. Unless that thing on his chest is also for gardening. Maybe they have a martial art based around pulling weeds while break dancing.

Elves hunt bare-handed?maybe I just wanted to draw someone punching out a deer. Is that so wrong?
He's an elven monk. Normal elves limit their fighting to sentient races and shooting wounded animals to save them the suffering. He tries to forge his body into the perfect weapon for fighting sentient races(dwarves), and in the process creates severely injured animals for his filthy tree cousins to put out of their misery. They can't become good archers if they never get any practice.this is actually an almost perfect explanation of the character...

Yeah it's take longer to draw maille than to actually make it. I don't blame you for using a pattern.
The pattern should look like this. For your information.

It'd definitely make it harder for piercing attacks to reach vitals. Wear some padding below and survivability increases a lot.
That and, maille would also be riveted not butted like the picture I posted. It's just to show the pattern.
But maille is made to protect against slashing, not stabbing.

Genoraven, if you mean that the links themselves are incorrectly oriented, I didn't know that. I still have that sitting around; maybe I'll stop being efficient and fix it.
Yeah it's take longer to draw maille than to actually make it. I don't blame you for using a pattern.
The pattern should look like this. For your information.
While basically agreed, that's only one pattern. A great source for a wide variety of chainmail patterns (historical and fantastic) is The Ring Lord's sample page (http://theringlord.com/cart/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=75&cat=Chainmail+Weaves+Samples). Note that many of these have deliberately been stretched out to show the structure; in use a lot of the patterns would have the rings overlapping more.
In general, part of the shock-absorbing property of standard chainmail is in the draping. If you're using standard European 4-in-1, there's one axis it "stretches" in far more than the other; if you're wearing it already "stretched" under its own weight, you're loosing some of the protection and much of the flex that makes it more comfortable. It does cover more area with less metal, and if you're purely looking for slice/abrasion resistance it's ok, but for anyone who actually expects to be attacked with a sword (etc.) the proper direction is very important.

Some simple rags, and stolen items from kills would be an interesting addition to the troll.
part of their aesthetic is that they're supposed to appear rather alien compared to the other civilized races. Trolls are actually very cunning, and have a perceived sense of superiority. Using clothes, armour or items would make them less self-sufficient, and lower them to the level of the "inferior" races. The troll is only supposed to rely on himself, he should not need material possessions to help him survive.
on a side note, I'm thinking of changing his colour scheme to something like white and grey, to make him look less natural and more artificial, to really emphasize the difference between trolls and the more mundane creatures.

According to the 31.12 raws, their fur is always white and gray, and they have black eyes and skin.
With the change from brown to white both brings you closer to vanilla and enhances the alien aspect.

Officially, it's behind his notepad/paper/whatever. He's holding a pen against the paper so he can start writing down the new trade agreement as soon as the mayor starts talking. I couldn't quite figure out how to make that, though.
Alternatively, he lost that arm last time he came to the fortress.

When you put it like that (with "hidden" geometry), it all makes sense. I may be jumping over my head in my expertise, but there might instead be a problem with composition. Through the balance of light and dark you shifted the central point to the left, and that's where the eye looks for the vanishing point. Well, in all honesty, it should be there. To make it work with current composition, you'd have, first, to shift shadows somewhat, to indicate that there's a hill to justify the light gaps in the fence together with the horizon line the way it is. Then, you need to put something on the veranda to balance the weight of the two sides of the picture.

I was going to say that I still didn't get my hands on my tablet, it needs some fixing (my parrot chewed on its cord so it doesn't want to connect to PC), that's why there're no pictures from me for such a long time, but this plot is on my list now.Huh. How did you know I was posting to answer to that? Do you read my mind?!Can they be female wrestlers? and a female goblin?Something tells me Deon is on it.
I was typing my message but I had to remake it because forums notified me of your reply.
Three options :
1) I sensed a great disturbance in the force, as if a million voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.
2) This is Dwarf Fortress. Your job was displayed as "replying to Fan art competition thread".
3) In soviet Russia, the internet reads you.
Anyway, what were you going to say ?

Post by: takaratiki on October 15, 2010, 12:21:12 pm
So, Luzatuzol (Rubbedoiled) is my subject. It's a pretty site in ascii, all three rock formations, obsidian and marble, a mammoth volcano, a stream, and nestled in between, an unexpected 11z spire. Sweet. I'll be sketching the site through time, trying out ways to represent the terrain as the Dwarves inevitably modify it to their (and my) whims. The sketch is just a 10-minute scribble which I hope to improve on by following it up with more in-depth sketches, crayons, and an oil treatment if I have the time. As the architecture grows, I also would like to sketch up some street/mine scenes. My figure drawing is pretty pitiful, again, this is mostly an exercise. Constructive technique criticism always welcome.

It's supposed to be the Captain of the Guard beating the shit out of the Militia Commander. (In my experience, when the Captain of the Guard beats someone, they don't fight back at all.)

This is a figurine of a dwarf in white mudstone. The dwarf is laboring. The dwarf is holding a white mudstone. This artwork relates to the creation of the dwarf figurine in white mudstone in the late Spring of 2010 (southern hemisphere! :P)

So how long did the caption of the guard spend time in prison for beating someone? Was it a tantrum spiral or was he berserk?
Aren't Guard captains exempt from punishment? The one's I've seen beat up, even kill dwarves, never were called to justice for what they did. They ARE justice.

EDIT: In case you're confused, there's nothing sexual happening here.
It definitely seems ,to me at least, as if the Captain of the Guard raped him (1 hour later, rapist grin, the black dwarf lying curled into a fetal position, probably crying and chanting "This didn't happen to me. This didn't happen to me...")

You could just make a mold and cast a metal figurine. That should survive without much packing. I don't know exactly how it's done but Dwarf Fortress has taught us that all you need is a rock boulder, a metal bar and some charcoal (or magma).also, an anvil.

Hmm. I suppose it's the fetal position that really does it. I was too lazy to draw his face again, and that seemed like the easiest way to do it.
Also, his head should've been on the floor, so it wouldn't look like he was still awake.
Oh well. :P

He was just administering justice. The militia commander had failed to make some native aluminum items eight years ago.

I am pretty suremost peopleI know what Hidden fun stuff is by now.
there will always be a new infulx of players, who it would be nice not to spoil things for. This was a slightly different dynamic when it was difficult to find HFS, but still, it is courtesy to use spoilers. Replacing the noun with clowns does nothing for doing that, as many aspects of what it is is revealed with this method. By just using HFS and spoilers there aren't any aspects of what it is being revealed, other than that there may be something you haven't discovered.

Cackling can refer to the noises made by a hen or goose, but it is more commonly used in an idiomatic sense, to refer to manic laughter.

Timmy is an honorary dwarf after the party broke his nose, then handed him a beard. He has only recently learned the dwarven language, much less dwarven society.

I believe they are called cutebolds sirCutebolds are bolds of a specific anatomy, with the big black eyes and squarish snouts, often as broad in the front as the back, and floppy ears like a puppy dog. Whether they have fur or not is generally not considered a part of the style, because artistically, it's not depicted.
"Cutebold" does also imply a certain behavior set, but of course that's of little relevance here.

Post by: Spreggo on November 30, 2010, 12:10:01 pm
i suppose that being furry, they're also hot blooded, right?
Good question, I think my variation is still cold blooded. They probably bask near sources of heat, perhaps in nooks and crannies around forges and other heat producing things of civilization. They build insulated nests with whatever they can steal, and huddle in groups to retain heat. The fur is an adaptation to help them retain what heat they can produce or 'absorb.'
My kobolds are smart enough to steal fire, although they lack the patience to start it on their own, and are rather poor at learning or teaching methods to others. In this way they are dependent on fire producing species, especially in cold climates. I imagine they dislike being near fire because it is too bright and often burns their flammable nests to ashes, but they might heat rocks and cycle them into their nests.

My Kobolds only have fur as an adaptation, but are still internally reptilian. They have large pointy ears and are murderous and plotting (although somewhat clumsy in execution).These are great but your kobolds look more like ratmen to me.

Transhuman is our upcoming project.
Our costume designer has many of her sketches up under the Transhuman/Illustration tab, so you can get an idea of the style that we're going for with the characters. If anyone is interested PM me.
EDIT: I should let you all know that this is a micro-budget film, so money is pretty scarce, the biggest thing we can offer is an opportunity to showcase your work, and the possibility of deferred compensation if the film earns enough to turn a profit.

yes, most reptiles are homeodont, meaning that all the teeth in a reptile's mouth have the same shape, even if they vary in size.
Post by: Nivim on December 01, 2010, 05:35:01 am
Well, that would mean the tree had been cut down, if it was the kind you could stand on. I think a couple of tree branches would work better, with him showing complete nonchalance to being 20 meters up in the air. In that pose, it doesn't really look like he's getting ready for battle, but instead standing at partial attention; possibly for someone thinking about entering the forest, or for someone of higher right passing through.Just give him a rock or something to stand on.A tree stump would work better for an elf.
Hmmm. Steps would work well, too.
Although, I can just barely recall that the kind of elf shown there is a variant from Fault's DF world, and the forest probably isn't the best setting for it.

Quote from: Gabriel Pope
DFHack won't get rid of splatters on objects, only the mess on the ground. Showers are a good way to turn splatters on objects into splatters on the ground, though, which you can then clean up to squeeze out some extra FPS.

Anyway, you could do some studio style lighting by putting a background curving from the floor to the wall behind, 2 spot lights from the lower left and lower right, and another larger spot light from the top. It will look better than the simple lighting Japa suggested.
Post by: Rose on December 29, 2010, 01:29:19 pm
there's the one where the darkest parts of the image are made lighter, so nothing's actually fully dark, and there's ambient occlusion, where open spaces are light, and little crevices are dark.

"The dog is large in size. It has brown fur. It has a long snout and big ears."
I doubt everyone would imagine that dog the same way, though everyone's mental image of the dog would be similar enough for it to be distinguishable - Balathustrius's goblin looks like a pretty generic goblin to me. DF goblins also sound like pretty generic goblins from their descriptions,
so it's really just up to the user's imagination.

Comrade - I'm just painting these in Photoshop with the brush tool. Blending colors and controlling edges are tricky, especially in PS; I think it's mostly a matter of practice. If you're using Photoshop and a tablet, setting the opacity jitter to pen pressure can be helpful, as can playing with the the flow settings. And of course some brushes lend themselves better to blending than others. I like the standard chalk brushes the best. And two other general tips for blending and edges: work zoomed-out as much as you can, don't get caught up in details. Big shapes first. And use the biggest brush possible for any given job. These are pretty basic guidelines to all painting, but they'll fix a huge number of issues in and of themselves.

The sky is dark and gloomly, and wouldn't look out of place in a shot of Modor. In the forground is a piece of jagged rock. At the top stands a dwarf. This dwarf is covered is platemail, and wielding an axe in one hand. He has only one boot on, his other foot being covered with the most snazziest sock you've ever seen.
Slightly below and to the side lounge two dwarven (for lack of a better word) hoes. Being dwarves, they're armoured in leather, with chainmail bikinis. Scattered around this rock are various items, like pieces of cheese, socks and kittens.
At the very bottom of the drawing are various horrible monsters, like carp, elephants and elves. They all are crawling up the rock to get at the dwarves. The caption for this drawing is "Drawf Fortress: Hell yeah" or something along those lines.
If anybody can draw this, I would be thankful. (Feel free to use your artistic licence a bit.)

THe second dwarf-picture reminds me more of an well aged human hero when a dorf. You know that kind that pulls a "Obi wan" in the near future.
The booze I'm fine with, it's the " little fat fuckers" part i'm not so fine with : P
so, enjoy my style of human-ish dwarves.

I like the character design. Between the rope reed smoking hippies and the scantily clad amazons, mysterious ninja warriors are a nice change. Would some critique be okay?
I think the shading is a bit over the top. Like, you're shading each armor segment individually, with sharp black shadows all over, but there's no clear sense of a light source. To illustrate what I mean, I quickly and violently attacked your work with the dodge/burn tool. The highlights sail off in an arc.

Since, you know, they're both forest-dwelling cannibal elves. The wood-use inversion (Bosmer cannot kill plantlife without violating the Wood Pact, but may use wooden goods produced by others, DF elves sell wood goods but refuse to buy them) detracts from the comparison a lot, but the focus on not fucking plants up is a shared element, still. They are skilled at stealth (compared to DF elves sieging with ambushes) and have beast tongue/command creature abilities (parallel to DF elves having lots of exotic animals to trade). Even Y'ffre parallels to some extent to the generic forest spirits of DF elves.
The details are not totally identical, but they are thematically the same.

He has held back countless sieges single-handedly, but the horrors of war have caught up with him, crushing what spirit and hope he had left. As he wanders off into the gloomy barrens of the Claspedskull wilderness, his two war dogs are at his side, loyal until death."

This is a phantom spider silk short skirt. All craftdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is decorated with phantom spider silk and encircled with bands of cave spider silk, red pyrope and cow bone. It is made from phantom silk cloth. This object is adorned with hanging rings of faint yellow diamonds and menaces with spikes of pyrite and crystal glass. On the item is an image of diamonds in phantom spider silk. On the item is an image of a chain in pig iron. On the item is an image of The Slivers of Rust* the native gold mechanisms in sylvite."
*nothing terribly fancy, it's made of gold and wood and features a wave and a war hammer.

What was the aesthetic you were trying for, here?it's embarrassing how little this looks like what the idea was... long story short, I have become enamoured with the aesthetic used in the works of Sam Bosma, Kali Ciesemier, Emily Carroll, Hiimdaisy.... there are a lot of artists who have this intriguing look, actually.
I like the way they use colour and outline - there's tons of detail, and yet it never appears convoluted - some stuff is outlined, some stuff isn't, and it never looks inconsistent - and there's always such a profound completeness to the image. You can never tell where the artist started and where they finished, every element fits together as if the piece just sprang fully formed from the paper.
I love this look and I can not for the life of me wrap my head around the process. It was stupid to just slap colour underneath a watercolour and think it'd be anywhere close to it... I just gotta keep experimenting I guess.

Ah, I see what you mean. The closest I can get to that would be to figure out some large, monocolor zones (with clean edges, of course) and then put some very minimal bits of color on with about 10% transparency, to get things like detail and shading. Doing more of that would look more like Bosma, less would look more like Ciesemier. The most important bit is the contours, the coloring is just a sort of an afterthought.What was the aesthetic you were trying for, here?it's embarrassing how little this looks like what the idea was... long story short, I have become enamoured with the aesthetic used in the works of Sam Bosma, Kali Ciesemier, Emily Carroll, Hiimdaisy.... there are a lot of artists who have this intriguing look, actually.

Armok: Cheers bro
Buttery_Mess: Wow, thanks. That troll is excellent, btw. It looks like a dwarf caught him moving through the darkness with a flash camera; it makes a cool effect. And the anatomy and foreshortening on his left arm is really nice. If I had one suggestion, it would be to maybe start from the middle of the value range and work outward; it looks like you started on a black background and painted him in with lighter values, which gives it that cool flash-photo sort of effect, but it also means that all your values have to go a long way to get back to light, with the end result that your painting retains a sort of heaviness unless you work hard to expunge it. It's especially evident in the deep black shadows on his face and ear. Starting in the middle grays and working towards lights and darks only gradually makes it much easier to control your values.
Another tip that's really helped me a lot is to make a palette of values and use that when selecting which value to paint. 2 lights, 3 midtones, and 2 darks is a good range, I think. The benefit of this is that you learn to organize and unify your values on your painting instead of just choosing what looks right on a moment-to-moment basis, and this gives you a cohesive value scheme, which is probably the #1 key to realistic painting. (or maybe #2 after good drawing)
Hopefully I'm not irritating you with this unsolicited advice. :)
Comrade: Ha, thank you. I envy a lot of people's drawing skills, too.

experimentation with digital colouring... before now I hadn't really tried a detailed or varied figure with this kind of colouring style, and it's clear that I still need more practice with it.
I guess this is closer to how Goblins actually look in DF than the ones I usually draw. It's got the pink hair and everything.
and the fur trim is inspired by Goblins shearing the wool off of trolls in the recent DF update...

Is it a SHITTON of dodge/burn I see, or are my eyes failing me?ah, no, SAI doesn't even have that tool I think. I created a second layer above the base colour, and used a low-opacity brush on a darker shade of the base colour for the shading, using an eraser to add more definiton to the shadow shapes. The highlights were a similar process, just using a lighter shade of the base colour with a slightly higher opacity and more flow.
the results end up pretty similar though, part of the reason I don't want to work with this style very much.
Proper DF dwarves are naked or armored, nothing in between.he really should have a multi-layer stack of cloaks, robes, and cowls, as well as a dress, a skirt, and a pair of trousers if he wants to follow proper DF dress code.
am i the only one getting a MSPA vibe?All the ruffs and fur trim were definitely "inspired" by the grand highblood's outfit.

nice, but his fist should be flipped, his fingers should be facing other way.Also, unless you're freaking Superman, punches don't usually send blood spraying from people's faces.
Unless he's stabbing the baby. Which would also explain the awkward hand angle.

Also, i threw together a tiny steel/adamantine clad axe lord.
(http://i.imgur.com/Rk8Nm.png)
I quite like how he turned out, despite how badly it started. Also, regarding adamantine, i've always felt like it should be sort of an addition to steel. I mean, being supremely sharp is fine and all, but swinging a sharp feather (density is one fifth of water so it would float like a cork) at people isn't going to do all that much. Maybe give them a really mean cut or something. An adamantine edge on a steel axe, on the other hand, would both hit with a significant punch and with an atomically-sharpened edge. Surely, dorfs would be capable of engineering such a weapon.
Also, if you look really closely, you'll see that the shield merely has a layer of adamantine. But honestly, isn't that enough? :U

the legs were short and the torso was too long. its a dwarf after all, so i shrinked the torso and adjusted the arm to accommodate to the torso's new length
i hope you take this as a form of flattery, i liked it a lot, if i didn't i wouldn't have bothered to retouch it, but if it bothers you that i uploaded it here i can take it down
Post by: Shook on March 26, 2011, 07:44:49 am
@freeformschooler: Thanks! Also, could be. I already think it stands out quite a lot, but on the shield, yeah. It's almost impossible to see where the steel ends and adamantine begins. Lemme see if i can't revise it a little...

Yes. Actually, it is supposed to be an "Epic" sword contest. I interpret "Epic" as meaning "ridiculous."

the twisted one looks a bit weird, though, perhaps it's because it's slightly bent? it looks a bit flimsy, perhaps the blades are too thin or the twist is too wide for that blade's width

Well, that's, uh, actually the look I was going for. I love that style of painting; that sort of Leyendecker-esque simplification and caricaturization. So the 'plastic' look is intentional.
I meant I liked the b&w sketches because they have a little bit more personality. Sketches almost always do, though.

Nice stuff!
I must say that I prefer either 4 or 6. One of the things I've never really understood about how people tend to draw dragons, especially animal dragons that don't have magic to change shape is that they are friggin huge and to support the metabolism to allow them to actually move around reasonably, they are going to hunt out territory quickly, and eventually everything left is going to learn to hide in caves or move really, really fast.
To survive, dragons would almost certainly have to evolve mouthparts and feeding habits a lot like woodpeckers. Except they would dig out soil and chip out stone with their "beaks" and use their tongue to grab out those tasty bipeds or bears or whatever happens to have hidden down in the particular cave they are digging out.
So a elongated snout with a rockbreaking tip, a really long tongue, and a powerful set of front shoulders and a strong neck.

I think making the face wider worked. I added more dwarfs, too. It took some googling in order for me to get a sense of what their clothes and tools should look like. It's been a pretty fruitful exercise, so far. There are some human figures and a goblin,(drawn at more than triple the resolution of this image) in there for size reference, as well as a head height chart.
Before I add highlights and shadows, I want to decide on a background. Even if I don't add it to the picture, it will give me a sense of where the light sources are, and the light color and intensity. I do sort of wonder what kind of lighting is appropriate for dwarf fortresses, though. Do they even need light? If not, I might use "fake" ambient light, but it would likely make everything too blue looking. Fire, on the other hand, would be too orange. If they use lamps or lanterns, it creates a good opportunity for some interesting mood lighting. It might add depth to their technology and culture as well, because they would likely use either stained glass, lamp shades, or special fuels that burn in various colors.Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Good looking dwarves, the males are spot on I think, the females though - maybe a little squareness to the face, a bit more shoulder width, and thicker necks all around where visible? A female Dwarf in good shape with big bazoombas should have one serious hourglass shape :)
Took me a minute to decide what looks wrong about yellow-dress with her posture. It seems to me to be either the hip swivel and foot position not matching, or the knee bend compared to back straightness. Maybe some combination of both. There's nothing really wrong, but it looks like it's a really uncomfortable stance. The zombie dwarf on the right has the same problem, but it doesn't look wrong because the positioning of the hands and facial expression just scream "living dead" or "vegetable"

and then, goblins. i think of goblins as elves that made deals with demons, or became twisted inside by something, and set out to do the opposite of the elves, and that is to destroy all kinds of shit.
also i'm aware that the ears are currently coming out of the backs of their necks, rather than a sensible location. I DONT KNOW, MAYBE THATS WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE

The way you drew their hair makes it look like they have only one side of it an just shaved the other side off. Which is funny as hell.That is a thing that people do in real life too.
a new take on moss only grows on the south side of the tree? The hair only grows on the right side of the elf?The moss could only grow on the south side of the elf. But since elves are ambulatory, that would mean that the hair would have to grow super fast, and whenever the elf turned all the hair would fall out and start growing again on the other side.

They're part of the formatting copied from the image host's selection of codes for posting on forums. The format that proved to be the least uglifying also included those, and I was too lazy to remove them I guess. As far as I can tell, postimage.org is pretty benign and mostly useful, although if you try to upload .TIFFs be prepared to be confused and annoyed.

The posture of the one on the left seems a little off to me. When I blocked out the figure, the pose looked fine, but after adding the skirt, she looks kind of off balance, or something. It could be that I draped the skirt incorrectly. I might need to look up a pose, for reference.I think I know the problem here. She does look like she has her knees bent slightly to be in a strange very slight squatting position, which is as awkward as it sounds. The dress by her right ankle needs to drape down a bit more from the butt, much like the clothes on the others are doing. I am digging the squatter fatter style you are giving them, reminds me of the Greek ideal body of being heavily muscled with a decent layer of fat over it.

A brief search on the interwebs shows a "biblically conservative non-fiction publisher" by that name topping the searches. Granted, a lot of cleaving is mentioned in the bible, but it's not quite what I expect you meant ;D

Definitely one of those dreams where I dream primary in ASCII and dwarf fortress is the high definition vehicle with various 3d effects scrolling across the 2d map.

I remember in the draw-your-adventure thread there was a kobold warrior who resembled the cloaked figures in Fault's undertunnels. Maybe they are kobolds who have hid their appearance and sneaked into the base of the dark tower to steal the goblins' treasure?you mean Ninja's Kobolds aka the Adventuring kind that look more humanoid than the other kobolds even Fault's version.
sadly Fault kobolds are between the Cutebold and the normal versions with the puppy dog eyes and the reptile skin.

.O.!!! Isn't he the main character?
I'm glad to see so much new stuff in here. I don't have anything new, but here is that goblin:Spoiler (click to show/hide)
She is posing in order to depict as much of her armor as possible. The idea isn't really complete yet. I'm having trouble working out how the ears will fit in a helmet, and whether it's worth trading coverage for ventilation. Based on what I've read, and experienced, armor doesn't really slow people down. It does interfere with perception (helmets and gloves/gauntlets) and heat dissipation, though. I was trying to work out a compromise. I'm guessing that the more chaotic the fight is, the more coverage you will need. When you can see attacks coming, they can be avoided, but if your senses are overwhelmed, armor will likely be the only defense. I haven't decided if I want to do long noses, or not.
Also, my monitor settings seem to be kind of wonky. Sometimes the brightness, contrast, and color are very different from other times. The picture is much brighter, and less blue than I remember.
I remain unrepentantly attracted to her. I thus demand more. I am now modifying my image of goblins to all look like her, delightfully androgynous males and those females. Which is lovely. They're also violent, brutal and psychotic, which is a little less attractive.

She is posing in order to depict as much of her armor as possible. The idea isn't really complete yet. I'm having trouble working out how the ears will fit in a helmet, and whether it's worth trading coverage for ventilation. Based on what I've read, and experienced, armor doesn't really slow people down. It does interfere with perception (helmets and gloves/gauntlets) and heat dissipation, though. I was trying to work out a compromise. I'm guessing that the more chaotic the fight is, the more coverage you will need. When you can see attacks coming, they can be avoided, but if your senses are overwhelmed, armor will likely be the only defense. I haven't decided if I want to do long noses, or not.
Also, my monitor settings seem to be kind of wonky. Sometimes the brightness, contrast, and color are very different from other times. The picture is much brighter, and less blue than I remember.
I just like the grungy expression of the goblin under its ragged hair. Goblins often siege your fort wearing extraneous amounts of clothing and armor, even masks and caps under their helms, with mittens under their gauntlets. It's really more artistic license or gaminess than realism, especially when the upcoming military and trade arcs in DF are likely to mean that later goblin sieges will have less armor or clothing on their troops anyways.

mittens and caps under their armor
now I can't stop picturing that every badass goblin soldier has comfy winter wear on underneath their plate mail

look at that goblin and notice one simple flaw.
she can't be all that conferrable in high heels.

also she a nice candidate for the Goblin rescue squad.
It's okay, like many goblins, she's a masochist. If it doesn't hurt, then it doesn't count.

I remain unrepentantly attracted to her. I thus demand more. I am now modifying my image of goblins to all look like her, delightfully androgynous males and those females. Which is lovely. They're also violent, brutal and psychotic, which is a little less attractive.This exactly kind (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Yandere) IS attractive to some people. Disturbing and hilarious.

Erush Notchedgear is Cringing. Toguro Crumbledcackled the afflicted Flier is laughing. The artwork Relates to the smashing of the stone dwarf Erush Notchedgear's left testicle by the lizard monster Toguro Crumbledcackled the Afflicted Flier in the early winter of 43 during The Duel of the stone dwarf Erush Notchedgear and the lizard monster Toguro Crumbledcackled the Afflicted Flier.

df goblins are black or gray skinned, though, with *fabulous* hair colours
Various shades of green are on the skin list, and the hair isn't all that wild: mostly colors of purple, red, and anything in between. I've always imagined them kinda like more practically armored versions of how Ogdibus envisioned them (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=1604.msg2309223#msg2309223): very human-like, and even potentially attractive, save for the odd skin and hair colors, glowing red eyes, pointy ears, and razor-sharp teeth.

Here's a couple that I really like:
1) Armored dwarf.

and
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
2) Unarmored Dwarf
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
and
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The only thing that I disagree with in all four of these images, from my own personal in-my-head picture of dwarves is that a dwarf standing upright should be able to touch their fingertips to the ground.
In order to actually be able to fight reasonably well with weapons, you must have a wide range of motion and full coverage of the body frontage with your arms and hands. With shoulders and torsos as big as what dwarves have, to give themselves good frontal coverage and enough reach to be decent in combat, they need very long arms compared to their bodies.
Having extremely long arms and very short legs also allows dwarves to move around without much difficulty even with a missing leg. Basically a "crutch" for them would just be a gauntlet to protect their knuckles.
At times I really wish I could draw, I'd love to put my in-my-head image of dwarves on paper :)
Additionally, with really long and powerful arms and very short legs, dwarves could actually move very, very quickly across the ground using their arms and legs together much the same way that a gorilla moves. If you have ever seen a gorilla move quickly across the ground, it's pretty impressive looking :)

Hehe I wouldn't want to tell Urist that.
Tell me that a sortof human looking biped about 5 feet tall, with a torso twice as wide as a human, and arms as big as human legs wouldn't be damn impressive and intimidating, especially after you watch it carrying an elephant back from a hunting trip. Sure the legs are only about two feet long, but really, would you want to fight that?

You wouldn't need to fight, just run past them, using your long, human legs to easily outpace them and get to your objective.
:) Crossbows. Failing that, rocks, thrown by really long, powerful arms capable of carrying elephants.
I dug up some photos of gorillas walking upright just to see what it looked like.

I can really see dwarves built a lot along those lines, except shorter and broader, with less body hair but big, huge beards :)
*edit* and not only that, but with arms long enough, a dwarf could run like a quadruped, and likely be faster than a human. Gorillas are NOT slow on the ground when they want to move.

However, yes, the basic shape, but less diseased looking and shorter. I figure about five feet tall, 400 lbs+ or so.
*edit* Hrm, Ambam (walking gorilla) is 6 ft tall when upright and 475 lbs. Probably want dwarves to be 5 ft tall and 500+ lbs on average. they wouldn't be much wider than gorillas if they weighed less and were only about a foot shorter.

I can definately follow Farmerbob's line of though here. If we do away with all the fantasy MAGIC crap and consider the evolution of Dwarves it becomes a lot more fun imho.
Hrm, Cromagnons killed off all the Neanderthals - except the ones that moved underground, grew beards, and got cave-adapted. Those Neanderthals were naturally selected to get shorter and shorter because tall ones kept braining themselves against the tops of tunnels, and dying due to smoke inhalation and lung scarring in tunnels near forges (they also discovered that if they built really tall tunnels, they would be able to breathe better, which explains why dragons and titans can move in dwarf tunnels). Cromagnons got fire aboveground, Neanderthals were smart enough to realize how useful it might be, and soon found it belowground...
*heh* This is a bit entertaining thinking about alternate evolution :)

You realize Frogger consisted of a frog attempting to cross a highway with best traffic/gridlock ratio ever, right? Nothing to do with scorpions, logs only on flat beds.
I thought that there were boards where the frog crossed a desert road next to a river, with scorpions. Been, err, a few years since I played it. Plenty of logs though :)

Somewhat old, and although featured in it's project page, here's in case nobody saw it yet:
Spoiler: Readying of the Dwarven Airship Bloodaxe (click to show/hide)
At least, that's what I'm hoping it would look like when it's finished (it's still in it's planning/concept stage; still waiting for the next DF version release before I actually commit to working on it fully), but with a better sense of perspective. Notice the emblem on the ship is an axe this time.
Oh right, I drew it on a rather bumpy airplane ride home after visiting my folks up in NY. Thought it would be a rather appropriate topic for sketching while in flight.
It's been awhile since I seriously drew anything, so my skills are a tad rusty (including coloring in Photoshop). I might need some time to refine my sketching skills again, and a few good topics to draw before I can get back to my former drawing glory. Design and art are 2 different beasts I have to tame.

I kind of see why, but only kind of... But I'll take that as a compliment!
I couldn't keep away for too long! I had to make another one. This time, more refined and different. I got an idea from something I had in my most recent fortress. I had made some sort of "secret", forbidden monastery full of apprentices wearing what's pictured below. They all have training spears, and have been down there for years, just training. Don't know why I made it, but It seemed cool in concept. Anyways, here:

Kastrol and Tofu, very nice work!
But there is a rather significant flaw I notice.
Nobody ever stands like that while chopping wood. Neither the foreground nor background figures. You don't swing sideways on a flat plane, because you can't get any force that way. You don't swing straight vertically, because you're trying to chop a tree down, not split it in half. And also your head's a bit in the way for a proper swing. You also don't have your hands in the same place on the axe's haft, because you get neither power nor control like that, and you don't hand the head behind your back because then you just have to lift the head up again on each swing, and work that much harder for no reason.
The correct and normal way to swing an axe is to have it over your right shoulder (assuming right handed) with your left hand far down on the haft and the right hand like, maybe halfway up. Then you swing down diagonally at the target, with your upper hand sliding down to meet your left hand during the swing.
The pose shown by the foreground goblin is sometimes portrayed in axe users in combat. In that situation, it's intended as a follow through motion, which obviously wouldn't apply to wood cutting. I don't think it actually applies to fighting in that manner either, since flesh is fairly tough stuff, but any illustration where people are using an axe as a weapon is usually pretty inaccurate anyway.
The background goblin, I don't even know. It's just a silly pose that there's no reason for a person to ever be in. I think I've seen it in Erfworld, where it at least fits since everything is cartoonish and silly, but even then it doesn't make much sense.

But there is a rather significant flaw I notice.
I figured that the goblin was minding his own business, and chopping the tree however he wants (goblins do have potentially very different bone/muscle structures than humans/dwarfs). He then hears a fart from the nearby shrubbery and swirls around to face it, catching Fault in his act of observation.

don't eat or drink.
they have the [BONECARN] tag in their raws, which implies [CARNIVORE]. Carnivorous nations can't survive worldgen without [NO_EAT], for some reason (at least that's what the wiki says) so it may just be a precaution until that issue is fixed.
Or maybe they don't need to eat, but can still choose to? Besides I've always liked the image of them just eating bones, getting nourishment from something that'd harm most other races if eaten. Which is why I included a goblin noble chomping on a bone like a little cigar

When I saw this post :

Since I enjoyed drawing it a lot, I decided to come up with something on my own. I started by drawing this :
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Until, "Cheveux has been interrupted : Started reading Clan of the Cave Spider - Community Cavern Fortress (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=91183.0)", and I had to try and draw the character I was dwarfed as. He's the weapon crafter, making swords out of bones.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
When I was done with this one, I decided to go back to the unfinished one. After a couple of hours, it's still not done, but I only need to fix the legs and add some engraving on the blank ring in his mustache.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Now, since in really just a dabbling engraver, I need some criticism to help me improve. Anything that seems off, tell me.

Do you have a website? A gallery? What tools do you use? What's your creative process like? Are you a professional artist by trade?
The combination of jagged pixel art, crude scribblings, and rough - but, nonetheless, skillful - brushstrokes combined with photographs and animation takes the concept of mixed digital media to a new level. I'm a diehard fan of representational art, but there's something about your work, maybe the nostalgia of the pixel art, that makes me wish I had a digital photo frame so I could hang this stuff on the wall.

It'd be nice if we had a website that hosts all the fan art we've collected, or at least a thread that links to uploaded art. I thought about starting one, but then I realised there was quite a bit of fan art that I didn't think was very good and I wasn't sure if I should bother linking them. That didn't seem fair to me and I thought it shouldn't be my decision. Does anyone else like this idea?
and about quality: just by looking at the reactions of the drawings I think I could make a good selection and most of the stuff is good anyhow.
I'll start by saving all the pictures and sorting them by author.
EDIT: unless someone else beated me at this, ofc.

It would be easiest to do if each of us picked a certain number of pages, and then compiled a list of all the live links to images. Once we have that, we can think of what to do from there. I call 1-50 if anyone else is up for this plan.1-50 with how many posts per page? This would be easiest at 50/page.
Post by: Buttery_Mess on September 11, 2011, 02:26:51 am
EDIT: Alright, so there's 140 pages at fifty posts per page. If seven people do twenty such pages each, we can collate the list of links in a seperate thread; or do it via messages, which would then keep the forum tidier. Armok started this thread, perhaps he would be willing to modify his initial post to include the list? Or perhaps would could just stick the link list on the wiki?
By the way, this thread is pretty popular. I was surprised to see my rendition of a troll pop up when I googled dwarf fortress troll in google images.

hi, im REALLY new, but i love the art on here, specially the picture of the dragon in the cave really early on. im wanting to get into drawing myself and fantasy is my sort of thing so im wondering how i should start off?
The first post of +The Engravers Guild+ (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=42086.0) thread has some tutorials and such, but the only thing you really need is practice. Just draw some stuff, and if it turns out shit (it will), draw some more stuff.

The best way is to just start drawing. Draw all the time, practice is key. And remember, those who are really good create masterful works, but not everything they create is masterful. (Just like my Highmaster stonecrafter.)

Okay so I took the links of every piece of dwarf fort fan art I could find that weren't dead links (and bear in mind I have a dodge 3G connection to the net) but I didn't use the img /img thing for clarity and time saving and in case we wanted to compile the links in the wiki. I think it best not to re-up the images without copyright holder's permission, but linking to publicly posted images in their original location is legally fine, I think.Whoah, thanks. My first "works" were utterly terrifying, lol.
I have collated the links thusly;Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Also, I have produced an image of a dwarf woman sitting cross-legged sculpting a figure out of fire clay to be baked in a kiln. It's not my best work but I think it's okay. I should really get photoshop and/or a decent tablet.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
What's up with "1.2.2.3/bmi" before proper tinypic addresses?
Also I forgot about this, hehe. Thanks.

Kobolds were never evil. They're just trying to survive in a world where all the other races are larger than them and have superior technology as well as these weird ideas of "ownership" that kobolds can't quite grasp.I that's essentailly canon.
We need more cutebolds.

These kobolds just draw themselves. Is there some fancy taxonomic term for that thing where one of your toes points in the opposite direction from all the others? Because according to my headcanon, kobolds totally have that.
I was browsing this thread after quite a while of not reading it and I happened upon this post to which I knew an answer so sorry for the small post necro. :P Well I couldn't actually find a name for what your kobold has there (2 toes forwards one toe reversed) but I did find a name for what some birds have, being 3 toes forwards and one toe back and that is "Anisodactyly" and one of 2 toes forwards and 2 toes reversed which is "Zygodactyly". Anyways I'm loving all the artwork that people are putting up here, it's good to see that artists still live on the DF forums. Keep up the good work!

Also, am I the only person around here that visualize DF dwarfs as Russians (especially 12-15 century Russians)? There's a lot of similarities between them: alcohol dependence, beards, hatred for elves/Europeans, etc.
Edit: Yoink, actually, that thing is a fur hat. There are no such things in DF, however, but it certainly suits.

Awesome picture as usual, Fault, awesome as usual. I like the comic book-like art style.
However, I have to say that the perspective looks strange (unless that elf is standing on the edge of the cliff, with the camera facing him from the above. Or standing on a very steep hillside.).

That is pretty good. I like the idea of the human civ ruling the sky and dwarves the underworld, but somehow elves don't seem to fit at all to me, when humans and dwarves rule the ground as well. They're outcasts in my mind, like kobolds, but even less honorable. No love for sentient beings and all.
If I remember humans we're the sky because of their ambition, meaning they also try to claim the earth as their own as well. Goblins are the same way ambition-wise which is whey those two are the most warlike. Kobolds don't have ambition besides food and shinies so they just move in in the earth between the elves and dwaves (that is, caves and little dirt homes) but don't really have a place for themselves.
IIRC of course, it's mostly pretty hazy, now.

I try not to post Effigies stuff unless it's really close to the dwarf fortress model.
Like.. I make a lot of deviations from the dwarf fortress depictions for other races, but... come on! It's a dwarf. He's in a fortress. The only thing not accurate to the model is that I don't think Dwarves can engrave images of magma burning down forests yet!
oh, and.. I guess Kings can't have strange moods. So the engravings on the throne of him presenting an artifact to the dwarves wouldn't happen in DF.

ANYWAY been playing lots lately, and I can't wait the new update! I'm also preparing a medieval RPG session for my friends using the SilCORE system, and overall am really in a dorfy mood. So I started some drawin'. Been a while since I did any for the fun of it. Here's the WIP so far. Inspired by my ex-expedition-leader-woman and her hunter-legendary-crossbowman-militarycommander-husband.
Also, "bring-your-daughterbaby-to-war day" is very dorfy.

I wish more people would illustrate some of the beasties in DF. I've illustrated a couple, paying careful attention to not only the descriptor in the raw, but the colours in the creature description when they appear on the map.
I really like this idea!
Dwarf Fortress needs some kind of "Creature Compendium" when we can put various interpretations and fan-art of the creatures.

Hehe. I opened it up in view image in new tab. I'd like to think that's the look on a dwarf's face when I tell them to wrestle a magma man. He knows that he will do it, though he might tantrum a few times in between due to my having ordered the other 6 to do it first.
In other words, very nice work.

Try to avoid putting the horizon line in the center. It tends to look better if it's closer to either the top or bottom. You can actually do that in this picture by cropping it, so that some of the bottom is cut off. The only thing down there is some grass, so you won't lose much.
Rule of composition #44: Focus and/or a majority of composition lines placed in the centre tend to result in a boring picture.

Nice (and cute too), but your picture would benefit from a proper focal point. Right now, everything has roughly the same importance (the eye is drawn to everywhere in the picture) which makes it slightly uncomfortable to look at as well as lacking a proper subject. Right now, my eye focuses the most on that thick black dividing line a little shy of the one-third mark from the left of the picture, which I don't think is the place you want viewers to focus on.
Simulating camera focus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_focus) on your desired subject whilst removing detail and saturation from things behind and in front of it usually works. I suggest you make that black line to the left less loud as well.

Many thanks for posting a link to the Rule of Thirds. I read it and learned something. :)
As for Fault's picture, I believe it lacks a general focus because it's ultimately going to be sequential art. The finished product will have speech bubbles occupying the majority of that empty space which will then draw the eyes into the two conversing dwarves. Think of the viewer as a passing dwarf, not entirely interested about anything going on in the current picture until he catches the conversation. This leads him into the next panel which should focus on the two dwarves talking to each other.
It's probably not the best excuse, but you have to remember that when you're working with comics, flow is as important, if not more important than focus. ;)
I could be wrong though.

Note the two werewolf heads motif on her quiver, it is the symbol of my fortress.
She is eighty-nine years old, born on the 6th of Galena in the year 165.
She is corpulent. Her very long straight hair is neatly combed. Her eyebrows are quite long. Her dark tan skin is wrinkled. Her head is somewhat short. Her rust eyes are somewhat narrow. Her lips are thin. Her hair is goldenrod with flecks of gray.
She is almost never sick and slow to tire.

Though your Photoshopping skills are quite, quite decent, I have several issues with this picture:
- You do not have a proper light source. The shadows are placed in arbitrary locations, making the picture look less than stunning.
- No shadow on ground. No ground.
- The nose is... Phallic. I'm sorry, but that's about the best I can describe it. Perhaps some practice with references is in order.
- The drapery on the chainmail shirt especially is unconvincing and stiff.
- There are several issues with space, positioning and perspective such that you create unconvincing angles and positions for several components in the picture, as well as some very queer joint and body part positions.
- Anatomy is lacking.
I think you'd benefit from time away from the computer and stylus when you sketch or practice.

Thanks for the critique! You managed to nail down most of the issues I have with this picture myself. Also, the legs are very underdetailed in comparison to the rest of the figure. Did I mention I'm not especially happy with it? ;)
I'm practicing both with pencil on paper and a Wacom tablet in Photoshop. The problem is, I'm better at Photoshop than I'm at drawing, as you have noticed. Perhaps I should shift the ratio in favor of pencil sketching.

IMO, you should shift it in favour of observational drawing and, yes, pencil sketching. You probably don't need half the things you're using, so it's probably a good idea to clear those away.

And personally, I like it, Ferozstein! The only real flaw I could find (apart from, perhaps, the hands) is that the lovely lady in the picture isn't exactly what I would describe as corpulent, but I guess when a dwarf's saved your fort by leading the valiant defenders enough times, you're inclined to draw a more flattering picture of them. ;D

NOOOOOOOOOOO.
The pattern on the maille is wrong. More specifically the orientation is wrong. It should be rotated 90 degrees. and it's not JUST an ascetic thing; the maille will be less effective in that situation. (I was going to take a couple pics to show but the camera broke =( )
With the way you have it the maille will stretch out wioch will make it less effective. Any attack will have to defeat less rings in order to hurt the wearer.
Other than that, it's fantastic.

Thanks a lot for your approval, but no, it isn't :P As was already pointed out, while I agree the picture does look good at first glance, it has a ton of irritating issues that really glare if you know how it SHOULD look. Case in point: you're right about the chainmail. I don't know how I missed it, I have a suit of mail myself and used to wear it occassionally. One of the chainmail's quirks is that it "stretches", but only in one direction, which is vertically (in normal circumstances). This one has the rings aligned so that it stretches horizontally, which would make it extremely stiff and difficult to bend in (even more so because of the already stiff leather armor underneath it). Great catch, thanks. It will not happen again :P

I can just imagine him leading ambush squads into battle, all the while scheming(like he is now, in the picture!) as to how to kill off his rival squad leaders, leaving him an easy path to rise through gobbo society... :D

here's some dwarves treking through the wilderness.
(http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/3067/ravinewalkabout.png)
Looks a little rough.
I'd tone down the brightness on the blue light to the left, and put some more effort on the rightmost dwarf - he looks like he's floating or tacked-on.
Post by: Fault on January 28, 2012, 06:17:07 am
just I've been strapped for drawing time as of late.. tacking the rightmost dwarf onto the edge of the image isn't doing him any favours composition-wise either.

I usually touch up panels and reduce them to 50% original size when I compile pages. I'll take that into account.
just I've been strapped for drawing time as of late.. tacking the rightmost dwarf onto the edge of the image isn't doing him any favours composition-wise either.
I mean rough as in "the brushstrokes are visible even when they shouldn't be and it's distracting". That should be fixed in the original, IMO.
If you're serious about the composition, I'd say the entire image is rather cramped. But since it'll just be a panel, it probably won't be worth the effort.
- he looks like he's floating or tacked-on.
.O. Your right, I get a pretty good sense of volume unitl I look at that guy's foot. Maybe he just needs a shadow. It seems to work for the one next to him. Adding a little bit of reflected green light from the ground might help, too.
He does have a shadow, which is entirely behind him. Inconsistent considering the lighting of other characters.
What he doesn't have is a foot.

I don't even remember if the part extending from his silhouette was supposed to be like his leg with a foot at the bottom, or if it's the top of his foot viewed from above, neither of which make sense with his angle.
drawing characters mid-stride is something I need more practice with. thanks for the advice.

a sin. Can't you just enjoy all the art that's being posted here, or am I just being an
idiot right now?
I did something Dwarf Fortress related again. Reason being that the thing I anticipate
the most is the inclusion of Inns, since I'm more interested in the social interactions
that are possible in the game. It'll be cool to see dwarves holding grudges over the
outcome of cardgames, and drinking together, singing or whatever. Maybe most of it
will have to be imaginary. Anyways, hope you like it.

As for the other discussion of Fault's high-quality art, I don't see why in-depth critiquing is going on here rather than the Engraver's Guild thread, where people post to request such feedback... Of course, if Fault's cool with it it's not really a problem, I guess.

Do I really need to answer that twice on the same page, within three posts?
have explained further; I didn't misunderstand what you said there, that you wanted to
give critique and whatnot. Great, critique is good. It's just that it seems less like critique,
and more like you're tearing Fault a new asshole. And by "you", I don't mean you,
Ogdibus, I mean the ..ugh, just, it's been about an entire page only about that one panel
that he made. Also: see the post right below mine, kind of what I think too.
I don't want to seem rude or anything, it's not my intention. It just seemed kind of weird to me.
Anyways, sorry for the misunderstanding, again, I'm tired.

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to look painted. As for the foot, it's there. The angle isn't right. It's doing a sort of fish-eye lens thing, while the rest of the picture isn't. That's why it looks like a peg leg. It would be more obvious if they had buckles or laces on thier boots.
Oh, a painterly look is fine, it's just that in a few places (tree, neighbouring leaves, bottom right shrub, bottom of picture) it looks like it's been left unfinished instead of being intended that way.
Why are you guys moaning over Fault's painting? It's perfectly fine; every painting has
mistakes(just look at the stuff I post, oh boy). And being painterly is not in any way
a sin. Can't you just enjoy all the art that's being posted here, or am I just being an
idiot right now?
It's just my attempt at critique.
It can seem harsh, but I don't make it any more so than necessary - part of the reason it can seem that way is that I don't add many complements, because I figure the artist will get enough of those already and that he'll feel secure enough about his work. If you think it's too harsh anyways, I'll make sure to try to quieten down in the future.
Oh, moan bloody moan you two.
Ouch. My heart, it bleeds.

Maybe we can get Armok to make a ruling or do a pole to decide if we should critique here. Knowing what to expect from eachother help keep the intentions of the posters clear. If someone was bothered and said something, then there are likely more people that were bothered, but said nothing.Personally, I would prefer to see it kept in the Engraver's guild. In my ever so humble opinion, this should be a thread for people to post for fun, without fear of comment. ( unless criticism is requested, of course)
I just worry, slightly, that people who would want to post a picture, may be slightly more reticent when they see criticism being levelled (and I appreciate that all the criticism is by and large very constructive, but sometimes people just want be told how cool their stuff is ...)
Tofu, I love it !
Post by: Buttery_Mess on January 29, 2012, 05:39:28 am
I actually hate an environment where people will compliment something whatever it is. People should be free to say when something's shit when they don't like it. At the other end of the scale, constructive criticism angers me because whereas there may be a skill to art, the skill lies in your ability to express yourself, not to express what other people want. I get annoyed by criticism because the person giving the critique gives the impression that they are more skilled. The problem is that clearly Fault is very skilled indeed, which tells me that, whether or not the person providing the critique is skilled, Fault is already aware of what mistakes he's made when he's created something. I know I am when I create something.
Look, none of this is a problem for anyone else. These are my feelings. I think it wouldn't annoy me if people criticised in this thread by saying something like, "I like it, but I'd like it more if..." rather than just listing flaws; not that someone elses work necessarily has flaws, because it may have been deliberate on the part of the creator, or maybe they couldn't put the effort in.
I mean, look at . . . . . . . . .'s work. It's impossible to criticise that because it's so wierd and abstracted. You accept it, because you assume the intent of the artist was well executed. Merely because Fault's work, for instance, isn't wierd and abstracted, doesn't mean it doesn't deserve acceptance. Before you criticise, it's important to at least say whether you like it overall.
I'm 100% certain that . . . . . . . . . is autistic. It's not a bad thing, but I simply cannot imagine his art coming from anyone who doesn't have an autistic spectrum disorder.
Besides, I always imagine that DF is like cracks for autists. The fact that I love it makes me wonder sometimes if I'm an Aspie.

Actually, it doesn't work that way. Or rather, most of the time it doesn't. Personal expression is one thing, but the laws of composition and proportions are more or less universal (unless you explicitly and deliberately decide to break them). Also, even very skilled illustrators often miss some fault in their work, and that's exactly where constructive criticism is for and where it comes in.
Post by: Guardian G.I. on January 29, 2012, 10:06:57 am
What will happen, if this thread transforms into a separate unofficial branch of the Engravers Guild? The criticism will deter everyone except serious artists from posting anything, and the overall art quality will improve. However, the amount of serious artists on Bay 12 has declined over the years (and, there weren't many of them in the first place), so if we start critiquing everyone and everything here, we will probably kill the thread.
Maybe it would be better, if critiques would be given only to people who specifically ask for it.

Regarding the Engraver's Guild, this is the first time I've heard of that thread. I looked through last 15 pages of this forum, and couldn't find it. Would it really be better to necro that old thread just for posting crits than critiquing art here on the spot?

Tofu you've done it again, that's amazing. I especially like the limning around the central figures!
it's just that in a few places (tree, neighbouring leaves, bottom right shrub, bottom of picture) it looks like it's been left unfinished instead of being intended that way
that reminds me, last couple panels I posted had most of the image very very sharp and without the painterly brushstrokes. I got complaints advising that the entire image should not be at the same level of focus, because it makes it hard for the viewer to know what to pay attention to, and messes with perspective.
so now, in this, I used a softer, blurrier aesthetic for the background and bottom figures, to bring out the figure with a speaking role (the topmost dwarf has a speech bubble in the final panel) and.. now people are saying the whole picture should be at the same level of focus and detail?
eh well. I guess I haven't found the right balance between these two elements yet!

Some autists have difficulty surviving on their own and you might consider them mentally disabled, but there are plenty of people in the world who aren't autistic or are even considered mentally disabled who do far worse than the average autist. As far as I can tell, most autists are just different in a sufficiently similar way that they can be identified as a group. To say that they're abnormal is absurd to me, because if there's one thing that I'm certain of it's that there's no such thing as 'normal'.
It's not an insult to suggest that someone is autistic. It's far more insulting to suggest that suggesting someone is autistic is an insult.

Tablet. Paint tool SAI. Brush tool with varying degrees of blend and a "spread" shape texture applied to it. Highlights were added without the blending or texture variations.
Thankyou Fault, for bringing the thread back on topic again with more of your awesome art! :D

To say that they're abnormal is absurd to me, because if there's one thing that I'm certain of it's that there's no such thing as 'normal'.There's no one "normal" that can be applied to everybody, but in all aspects of a person there's a range of normalcy. People with autism spectrum disorders, at least ones sever enough to merit a diagnosis, are outside the normal range in a specific way. That's not necessarily a bad thing, although it can be very inconvenient at times. But it's nonetheless a true thing and an adequate descriptor.

It's not an insult to suggest that someone is autistic. It's far more insulting to suggest that suggesting someone is autistic is an insult.It's not an insult to say someone's autistic if it's true. But it's still not appropriate to go deeming someone's autistic on the internet, as it is to go attributing any quality to someone. You could just as easily have said "I'm 100% certain that . . . . . . . . . is black" or "I'm 100% certain that . . . . . . . . . is a woman" or "I'm 100% certain that . . . . . . . . . is gay". There's nothing wrong with being any of those things, but nonetheless calling somebody those things is offensive, both to the person in question and to other members of the demographic you're bringing up.

I had a go at just scanning in a sketch I'd coloured in with pencils. Since I didn't have enough pencils, the colours are all wrong and the shading is poop. I had to outline with biro and I also tried to shade it with biro. I think it turned out rather poo as a result. I can't decide what looks less rubbish, scanned pencil or biro sketches, or my feeble attempts at using my mouse to draw things in paint shop pro shareware. Or, even worse, a combination of the two.
I'm quite happy with my skills, but I feel like there's some method I haven't tried yet that will make my work look less shit. I'm sure either a tablet or photoshop is the answer, but I'm not enthusiastic about either. I'd have a crack at watercolours, but I'm concerned about not being able to scan in the work. Huff hummm....

I went out and bought some more pencils. Still doesn't look right to me. This is what a dwarf woman I drew looks like after I resampled the image to something smaller, and applied the erode effect, and the median effect, and increased the saturation in Paint Shop Pro. I also cleared some cruft from around the edges with the white paintbrush tool. Coloured pencils just aren't a precision tool! Still the overall effect is alright.

I had another crack with coloured pencils. I like this one. I upped the saturation and contrast a bit, but otherwise haven't manipulated the image. I think I've conveyed motion pretty well; I can't look at this picture without mentally hearing the schwlip! of decapitation followed by the p pe pup p p of splatter hitting the floor followed by the pranngg! of the she-goblin behind getting clocked in the jaw with his shield.

I try to draw dwarf armour very plain, because in DF, dwarves don't really decorate armour. Hopefully when the new version's out, we'll have the option to etch patterns into weapons and armour and engrave gems into weapons. The only problem is that that will interefere with gameplay elements, how the dwarves select equipment... Anyway, the point is that what I really like to draw is what's really going on in DF. For example, did you know that trolls are fully clothed, whilst cyclopes walk around stark bollock naked? I don't have the courage to illustrate that... yet.

Wow dude, I really, really like it! :D Well, apart from goblins being the losing side, 'course... :P
But no, really, although it is a little hard to make out finer details at first due to the 'softness' of coloured pencils, my eye was straight away drawn to the dwarf and the arc of his axe, and after that I figured out what was going on.
You've really captured the motion of combat, you can almost smell the trancing dwarf through the picture. :) I did at first mistake the shadows on the dwarf's pants for a leopard-skin pattern or something, though.

Thanks Yoink, I'm glad you like it. Hmm not got the hang of these pencils yet. Trouble with coloured pencils is that the difference in colours isn't subtle enough. That's why trouser shadow isn't quite right. Different materials have different coloured shadows (some shadows are 'greyed out', also, albedo makes a big difference.)

The jaw drew my attention, immediately followed by the left calf, followed by the left boot.
The jaw width seems off compared to the width of other facial features, and the shading along the left side of the face seem a bit off too.
The calf and boot don't seem to quite match. I believe the foot of the boot is way too big for the calf/legs. The top of the boot can gap out like it does just fine, but that poor girl has sled runners for feet. Her foot appears to be roughly the same size as her entire thigh :o
Still FAR better than anything I could possibly manage though!

Farmerbob, I like big boots, I cannot lie. It comes from my love of Final Fantasy VII. The leg is a little odd-looking, I know, the pencil line wobbled. I don't think dwarf women look right without strong jaws, it's intentional.

When I looked at it again, I see that the shadow of the left side of the face blended a bit too well with the point of the jaw, which made me see a jaw much bigger than what it appears you wanted to draw.
Big calf boots are pretty cool looking, but do you intend to make the feet that big?

Guess that's what she gets for trying to be a hero and solo it. She did manage to beat it up nicely at least. I'm going to miss her, she turned out to be a surprisingly deep character I think. I was moved enough by her passing to sink quite few hours into memorializing her end.

Thanks!
As much as I don't mind mod stuff, I worry that if pony pictures are known to be okay here, there could suddenly be a huge flood of ponies that drown out the dwarves.
A valid concern, which was why I hesitated to post it. I searched the thread first and saw that there was at least one other picture, so it seemed like a safe risk...
The good news is that I don't have anything else pony related to post. :) The bad news is that I haven't even played vanilla DF in months, so nothing dorfy to post either. :(
I do not understand the fascination with ponies.
If I'm perfectly honest neither do I.
But...
Rule #17: We do not talk about ponies. Too many derails already.
I think this is probably good advice. I posted a pic of a dying pony, and already we've got posts risking a discussion about why ponies suck or are awesome. I don't want to derail the thread into that, so let's move right along...

Best thing is to have pony lovers/haters/confused/curious ignore each other in non-pony-related threads. So the pony itself isn't that bad (it's actually drawn quite well), and probably on topic if you used the ponymod, but discussing the merits of the brony scene in general is not on topic.

It works wonders if you're going to make a color scheme out of a normal picture.
Thanks for the compliment, hahah, I'm not sure if I'm "god tier" yet. If you've ever
had a look at some of the other people on CA.org you'd understand. It really
humbles every artist at some point.
Tofu, that first one is fantastic. What software do you use for that? That's the sort of painting technique I've been trying to learn, but I can never seem to figure it out. I hate to blame the software or brushes, I know it's me, but nothing I've ever tried has been able to recreate that sort of look.Thanks, bro, for the compliment.
I just use Photoshop ...cs4 I think? Yeah, that one. Well, brushes don't really
matter much. Custom brushes are great if you already know how to paint
reasonably well, but if you start using them before that then I'm afraid you're
only fucking things up for yourself. I've seen plenty of painters go down that
route and having a hard time coming back.
But yeah, if you have a tablet(if not, just buy a cheap wacom one) then sign
up for something like a cghub or Conceptart account to make a sketchbook.
Keep studying anatomy and do still life paintings and other kinds of studies
and ask for honest critique. In a couple years you'll get there.

I made several "photo filter" layers and used the "color" overlay mode.
Simply that. While it's not ALWAYS the most useful one, when just casually
coloring something it's the best since it doesn't mess up the values of the painting.

Actually, of all three, I actually like the third one best. Captures a bit of madness/savagery in the different sized eyes.
The semi-curved back while leaping makes it pretty obvious that this humanoid is not entirely comfortable standing upright.
Is this intended to be a gremlin, or a goblin, some sort of were in early transformation to beast, or something else entirely?
Regardless of what it is intended to be, I like it. Most of your stuff is less savage, more controlled (but still really good)

it's a troglodyte. I know their raws say they have pale pink skin (and pink eyes) but I've always liked drawing dwarf fortress creatures as having the general colour of their character tile ((http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/trogsprite.png))

Ah yes :) I figured chances were good that I was missing the actual creature, but regardless, you capture the anger/madness/savage nature very well there.

They were all from forts where I actively culled the population of anyone who was weak(red attributes).
In those forts I was able to get to know the few dwarves who passed my screening.
In these drawings I was trying to express all their physical characteristics.
I'm thinking in the next dwarves I draw I'll put some emotion in their faces.

Your troll is interesting, but where are his horns? Trolls have horns as well as tusks. I kind of imagine that trolls have meatier legs than that.
I checked what was going on during a siege once, and trolls are fully clothed, whilst cyclopes wander around stark bollock naked. I've not tried drawing a clothed troll yet.
I think DF goblins are basically elf-like in appearance and stature, apart from certain features like green skin and scruffy facial hair.

Also, Daemoria, those goblins are... Well, I like your art skills, but to be honest they don't look much like gobboes to me. The troll's pretty cool, although he doesn't really appear to have much hair to be shorn. Perhaps goblin troll ranchers could mark ownership of their trolls through those piercings?

I heard beak dogs are basically just raptors though
Post by: daemoria on March 11, 2012, 12:41:39 pm
in regards to beakdog not looking like a raptor, which i knew the DF one origionaly does look like a dinosaur, but i figured i'd change it up and bring them back closer to a dog, just with a crazy skull/beak thing going on. personal preference there really
good point with the troll and hair, i forgot about that, I'll definately add some nice shag. The horns have been removed because only the upper class goblins have horns, they don't want trolls gaining more respect. I'll see what i can do with a more meaty leg, i am not frozen on just the peglegs. :]
goblins not looking like goblins, well I knew that one would be brought up. The males should look a bit more evil/traditionaly goblin like, but in my mind the goblins and elves derive from the same species, but with a couple hundred years of divergent evolution/magic corruption.
I'll keep working on these with your comments in mind tho, nothing on that picture is final, and will probably not be for a while.

Scruffy? In my headcanon, goblins have this ridiculous technicolor anime hair that is constantly waving a bit, even in the complete absence of wind.
(http://i41.tinypic.com/2dgte0z.png)
Not that goblin appearance is set in stone or anything. While there is quite a bit of descriptive text in the game, at the end of the day, a goblin still looks like a 'g', and you're expected, nay, required to fill the gaps with your imagination.
daemoria, I like your take on them. Looks exotic. :)

Like all trolls I've ever looked at in the game, she is incredibly obese, and as per the description is unshorn and has long white hair all over her body and horns and tusks. Her skin is black. Her eyes are black.

And Daemoria, I love those sketches, with your 'sci-fi' sort of take on a Dwarven Fortress. The second one is a real masterpiece, after looking at it for a while I started imagining the lit window by the dwarf to actually show sunlight, and then you're looking 'down' the fortress... Sci-fi forts laugh at gravity! :D

Nice karzul, mind giving me a few tips on shading? its an area im so-so at but you did a nice job.
Of course! I did the image in the GIMP 2 program, and it has a "burn" tool that I used for the shading.
And always do the borders of the shade according to the texture of what you are shading.

I use Gimp myself, takes a while but it gives better results than paint :P

The dwarves themselves seem a bit like the dwarves from the Dragon Age setting, very handsome and proper, unlike the dwarves from Dwarf Fortress, who are all blood and vomit encrusted psychopaths. :)Thanks, as I said it's not finished, but thank you nonetheless. Yeah, as I've said before; what I'm most excited about, and already is most excited by, is how dwarves interact with each other and how all of that pans out. You get all these insane stories of guilt and romance and craftsdwarfship that makes my gaming heart go wild. It's all incredible. That's also why I enjoy the combat, because not only is it satisfying, but imagine how people adjust their lives afterwards, how it all plays into their social makeup. Most of this is outside the game, but it's still sort of implied, and I love that. The "introducing the wife" was partly intentional, and I thought it was fitting to the theme I went for. Cool that you noticed it. Anyways, those reasons are also why I don't like the stereotypical maniacal psychopath dwarves, because that's all they end up as: stereotypes. The dwarves in the game already have personalities and looks that far outweigh that of those stereotypes. That's why I paint them with such differing looks, facial hair and so on. I remember reading "the legacy", a part of a series of fantasy books by R.A. Salvatore, where dwarves all have full on beards, even the women. While I could enjoy such a cartoony stereotype in something else, this book, this universe and how everything worked there just ended up making me feel serious discomfort. I guess I'm a weird one that way. I have yet to finish that book. I should.
what do you actually see wrong with it?A lot of things. Most of it is simply because I didn't finish it, as you can clearly see with how I haven't even started rendering some of the feet, the hands are half-arsed placeholders and some of the lighting is off. Something I also take issue with is how incredibly dumb the composition ends up being, and the only visual pleasure you'll derive from it is simply in rendering and/or the marginal storytelling. I'd like it to be more dynamic. The problem I had with making it is that I started out the "wrong way". I realize that there is really no actual wrong way for you to take while you paint, but the way I used made things harder for me. Things weren't as easy to change later on, and that's sort of why the composition is out of whack as well. That, and I don't have the proper spacial relationship in value that I wanted, no "foreground, middleground, background" going on and so forth.
Ey Tofu, that picture is quite amazing.Thanks, always appreciated, hehe. I love thinking about those parties. I can't wait for Inns and music and shit like that. Those'll end up being the best things ever.

For a project in class we were to take Gui Bonsieppe's presentation of Some Virtues of Design and pick something to pair it with and make a book out of it. Make the entire book. But I decided this would be the time to do something Dwarf Fortress related and decided to pair it with boatmurdered. I paired selections and such from Boatmurdered along with a fitting section, Lightness, Intelectuality, Public Domain, Otherness, Visuality, and Theory. I could upload the PDF if you guys want, but for now here's some shots. It's about ~65 pages.
Whoa, nice. I for one would love to see the whole thing if you can be bothered.

You're not usually supposed to do that, at least in the instance of the project. Trust me, it was done for typography.

All penmanship is of the highest quality. On this item is an image of a dwarf and an elf. The dwarf is offering the elf a Xx(troll fur sock)xX. The elf is looking terrified. This artwork relates to Sus' habit of offering the crap left behind by goblin sieges for sale.

Convert it to 16 colours and then build it in DF pixel by pixel out of pieces of road made of stone blocks (appropriately coloured) and upload that. No?
Seriously though, Dropbox is an excellent tool for this. Uploading files is easy these days.

This is an illustration of the various DF races, how I imagine them. There's some nod to artistic license; every race normally wears an unrealistically large number of clothing items, such as always wearing gloves and mittens, everyone wears a hat, etc. I've tried to get the relative sizes about right.
This was a doodle I made on the bridge in pencil on the back of some SAT-C printer paper, because we have a lot of it, and it mostly goes straight in the bin. That's why you see faint streams of characters in the background. *Shrugs* more DFy, I guess.

How long does it take you to compose one of those pieces of art, Tofu? Can't really tell from the videos. Which are awesome.
This painting took about 3 hours, which is normal time for me. I try to keep it around 2-3 hours so I keep my speed and the "energy"
of the painting at a relative high level. So, that video is 3 hours compressed into 4 and a half minutes. I want to be able to make things
quick, and in as few strokes as possible....but that isn't exactly workin' out. I still make a lot of useless, shitty strokes that only make
me cringe hahaha. All self-deprecating humor aside, thank you : )

Also, yeah, All I wanted down in the left was a black- ish shape, but I didn't want it to be completely flat.
The centre one is terrible as well though.
Your swashbuckling kobold adventurer is awesome.
Did a couple compositional sketches to show how I think I could've done better on the last one. They're ok, I guess.
I also did a...uhh... a sort of design-ish thing for a courtyard? a simple one, but one that is a little cool to me.

I have returned!I love how your gobs look, Tofu; that ambush scene is one of my new all-time faves! I can't wait for more of your art, because you are one of those creative geniuses that makes me feel truly inspired by fan art, of all things.Thanks, man. That means a lot to me : )
Edit: The glowing red eyes in the forest are freaking choice.
well, right.
Not the best I've done, but it's good for 15 minutes! I'm way too lazy....
Still, I'm open for requests if you have any.

I don't have anything to bring right now, as I had sort of a terrible day. I fucked up my wrist (thank god it's not carpal tunnel syndrome, I'd kill myself), and the wound on my arm hurt a lot for some raisins. But, as soon as I get the chance tomorrow I'll get back to painting a king cobra man, as requested : )
For those of you who want to see a what I'd consider a slug man, beautifully rendered by someone I admire very much, I'd check out :

Wow, Sigurd has a great take on a slug man! I think he's got some pretty great stuff! You're still the greatest in my eyes, though. You churn out art in minutes that'd take proles like me a lifetime to create... That's impressive. There's only one Tofu on these forums, that's for sure. ;)

Hey guys. Thank you for the compliments, I really enjoy knowing that you like my work, even if I'm not happy with it myself.
So, I got around to making another little thing Dwarf Fortress related. I hope you like it, and sort of get what's going on,
because I seriously messed up the composition on this one, hahaha.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I really like this Tofu, but if you are seeing it the same way I am then I think I might know what's bugging you about it.
Three things mainly. And I only mention these things because you yourself seem to be unsatisfied with it. It's far better than anything I might even think about creating. If you find my criticism to be silly, then I trust your judgement FAR more than I do mine on matters of art!
1) The dwarves are central, but they are much less detailed than the goblins at the edges, and muted by shadow. My eyes are drawn to the bright center top and the detailed lower left almost as much as they are drawn to the center dwarves.
2) The Symmetry of the two trees closest to the road on either side. Not necessarily a bad thing, but when I see symmetry like that in a nature landscape I try to see if there is a reason for it based on the content of the rest of the landscape. Maybe have one of the trees be lightning struck, half-fallen or otherwise damaged? Keep the content but reduce the symmetry?
3) The far left bottom corner goblin looks to me like as if it should be in full view of the dwarves, and it's not clear that the dwarves have or have not seen it. I can't tell if this goblin is trying to be "bait" for the ambush, or if it's just stupid, or if the dwarves are drunk or simply not paying attention.

Sigurd is probably one of my favourite, if not my absolute favourite, digital painter. His strokes are unreal.
*stuff*
I mostly agree with you. The painting itself started as an experiment, a test of what I could do. I have a very, very short background in environmental concept art, especially compared to character designs and so on. So environments...I just don't have the feel for them. I manage ok, but issues like these do pop up. Many things I can do to improve it, pretty easily.
Thanks for the comment/compliments/criticisms , I'm aware of the problems, and it's because of those that I practice so I might avoid them in the future : )

And that horseshoe crab man took you 15 minutes? That's just unfair, it takes me longer to draw a four-panel stickman comic. I need to practice more. :PHahahaha, well, no, I haven't painted one before. Love your reaction though; my thanks : )
I totally forgot about my new portfolio piece, which I've actually been thinking about for the
better part of a couple months. I've always wanted a huge desert fort, but I've never gone
through with it. So I painted this painting from the inspiration I got:

Riiiightio. I'm back. And I'm back with one piece of stuff:Yes. Very nice. If you're looking for critique, the neck-join looks a little abrupt, but overall it's a very solid piece. I picked King Cobra over other snake-men because I wanted to see how you would handle the hood. Also, there were no true Cobras (Naja) in the game's raws. I also like how you made him very muscular and intimidating, which reflects the King Cobra's large size (3-4 meters).

I think the head came out very true to life :D :D :D. Am I wrong though, or does it look like the back of the hood connects to the front of the chest, making the position of the neck awkward?

Tried to make him intimidating, yes, which worked ok. You're totally right about the neck though. That's a mistake on my part. I thought of how I wanted it to join, and I thought of it wrong, didn't really notice the mistake until after I'd posted it. That's the funny thing about artwork like this: there's a lot you don't notice at first, because you're so stuck in your own work. Sometimes a little "aging" for perspective is worth it : )

It's close to an alternative look at the Dwarf Fortress universe. A style that I think most
DF players identify with in a stronger fashion than with my stuff : )
I so want this for christmas... or something.

That's some really nice work, Plutonium Ape. It can't be easy to draw things with polygons alone.Plutonium DOES have some really awesome art, that's for sure. I really like how sharp the Tholtig work turned out; I can tell it's not quite the same as the art from your game, at least in contrast. The only thing I have to say in line of a critique is, well, wasn't Tholtig a woman? Or am I wrong? I just know that female Dwarves in DF don't have beards, at least in their character profiles.

That's some really nice work, Plutonium Ape. It can't be easy to draw things with polygons alone.
It's actually really quick and fun! It goes to show that the eye does most of the work ;D
I'm more or less getting into curves again, but I wanted to try this approach until I got comfortable with it
It's different from what I normally do as in I took more time for this piece and worked out the details more than usual
But I blame Tofu because we did an art trade and I couldn't just splurt out some polygons for obvious reasons :o
Chinstrap for the helmet, of course!Made of hundreds of strands of adamantite!
I was informed that Tholtig was before castes so she probably had a beard.
But I figured that if she had none, she would at least have a ceremonial adamantine beard as the last monarch of her line
Cacame will probably be next, but I don't know when I'll get to him
I feel like the rule of beard should apply to him, too
But thanks for your kind words! You guys are my favorite (and probably only) audience :P

He'll wait for the seige to be over before running out to nab socks. He hunts rabbits and deer instead of crocodiles and grizzly bears. He is The Smartest Dwarf in the World.

Love this one. Great lightning and mood and so on. But I'm getting really confused about how big you imagine those trees actually to be.
On the first look I thought the passage under the roots was about the 10x the size of a dwarf (like the ones in the foreground), but then I noticed the second boat near the root of the left tree, and realized that they are way bigger than I thought them to be, and that the red stuff under the tree is actually some kind of city (or isn't it?). So the trees must be huuuuge!
Btw concept art is back up, but we still can't see your older work, you know anything about that?

She is a vampire (Assuming sharpened fangs,
Laneia Niroecena Vinenaiwethi Eyi
A medium-sized creature dedicated to the ruthless protection of nature.
She is incredibly muscular. Her hair is extremely long. Her splayed out ears have nearly fused lobes. Her slightly sunken dark blue eyes are narrow. Her ears are short. Her head is somewhat short. Her hair is orange. Her skin is pale pink. Her upper body bears a tiny straight scar. Her lower body bears the marks of old wounds, including a tiny straight scar. Her left lower arm bears a tiny straight scar. Her right hand bears a very short curving scar. Her right cheek bears a straight scar. Her nose is somewhat short. Her upper body's fat is gone. Her head's fat is gone. (And with that, I'd assume most of the skin on those two areas as well.)
Can't wait to see, if someone has interest!
(Ironically, it might be worth mentioning that she is still entirely fully functional. If the only good elf is a dead elf, I'm sure she applies at this point, though!)

I've taken the liberty of uniting the two (along with the lyrics and translation for the song) for general convenience. Check it out at your discretion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1gF0uhHsqk&feature=plcp (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1gF0uhHsqk&feature=plcp)(http://conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1608292&d=1350342479)Just wanted to say, every time I see this picture I hear poonyen's Tankard Basher in my head: http://soundcloud.com/simonswerwer/the-tankard-basher-1
And THEN I get far, far too excited about inn and tavern updates. That is one beautiful picture.

That dwarf doodle, Lee72, is also damn nice. Full of personality
The video with my painting and the music was..not expected. Loved it though. I actually found out
about it through tumblr, rather than here. Love that song...weird that I haven't heard of it before....
I've been thinking for a while about doing something. I don't have a job for the moment being, and
I've never donated to toady before. I promised, years ago, that I'd give the entirety of my first paycheck
to make up for it. A little unrealistic, but I'll get to that at some point. Seriously, I'll at least give as
much as I can from my first paycheck.
of commission, donation...thing, where every other dollar would be donated to the great toad and his
brother or something. Would that even be feasible?
I don't know, really. Never done anything like this before.
Or, maybe this sounds like me being very money hungry, hahahaha.
EDIT: After a couple of minutes of thinking; forget it. It doesn't feel right.
It feels more like advertising than anything else.
Either way that's recieved, I'll try to have a weekly submission here.
just a sketch for now...I'm going to create something with a little more substance for next time.

seriously man, do it. we all know it's in good faith, you're not robbing toady of donations, in fact, if you do as you proposed(and you don't really have to) and pay some sort of rights to the toad, you're probably giving him another source of revenue. besides, it's your work and its more than good enough to monetize it, and you certainly deserve compensation for it

I know that every artist has different strengths, and you're definitely right on with confidence & relaxation, but I'd really love to see something from you with an aggressive, angry dwarf, because your dwarven physique style seems as if it will lend itself to some impressive anger/rage images.
Perhaps you could draw us what the goblins see about two seconds before the end?
I'll be happy with the relaxed, confident poses though, you certainly do those plenty of justice!

A Cave Dragon's skin has become spread so thin, and has seen so little sunlight in it's millennia-long lifetime that it has become clear, it's vestigial wings have become even more limp and useless than those of the other Dragons that they now drag across the ground as it moves, in a serpentine fashion through the tube-like tunnels that permeate the eternal night world below the lowest mines of man or dwarf. They are not defenceless however, as their teeth have grown longer, like hooks to grip on the slimy, nameless things that share their deep home and become their prey.

and 20 minutes or so. I'll upload it to youtube at some point.
And, in case I haven't mentioned it before; I've started up with my commissions, of which you will

It doesn't look as 'clean' as the vector graphic stuff, PA, but still the same style... but surely it's harder to draw this way? As you can see I'm having terrible troubling figuring out how to use a tablet.
I totally feel you. First day of using one of those, had to forget everything I knew about brushes and opacity
To be honest I just wanted to switch to Inkscape the whole time, thinking that it would get the job done more easily :P
Give PA a few weeks with a tablet and I'm sure his new stuff will look as well as or better defined than the vectors. I'm loving it so far. Is that a Deep Dwarf or a vampire or what?
It's a husk. Can't you see the perfectly drawn fog around him?
And thanks, I'll do my best ,) The next step will probably be more slug men, they are in demand, apparently.
Loving everyones' work!

Sure, man, I'll do it. Just send me an email, and we'll work things out : )
And don't worry about the profit, man. I have food and a roof over my head,
and this "toad-tax" is not going to last forever, at least not in a 50% sense.
Right now though, I just want to be able to make some money, and donate some,
since I think I owe the Adams brothers money in spades, haha.
But, sure, if you want me to keep it, I won't complain!
PlutoniamApe drew Wandros, the City of Gold seeking Dwarf from my Threetoe Story rewards :DI had no idea, but that sounds pretty cool : )
I totally feel you. First day of using one of those, had to forget everything I knew about brushes and opacity
To be honest I just wanted to switch to Inkscape the whole time, thinking that it would get the job done more easily :P
If you're having trouble with photoshop and/or your tablet, check out some of
Feng Zhu's videos on youtube, as well as Sickbrush.
The best resource of them all is of course http://www.ctrlpaint.com/
So easy to use, and so easy to learn from that site.
good luck!
It's a husk. Can't you see the perfectly drawn fog around him?
And thanks, I'll do my best ,) The next step will probably be more slug men, they are in demand, apparently.
Slug men would be damn awesome!
Thanks, guys/gals : )

Almost every picture is... SO DF, I don't know how to describe it better. It really shows the mood of the game.
If Tarn Adams ever needed a box art for this game, you should have been an artist.
Your drawings also are very unique. Most of your characters have distorted or weird proportions, almost like children's drawing (not small children, more like those in early school), however the details and effects add a totally different depth to the pictures and make them feel just right. It's amazing.

A sketch I did in pencil whilst I was on watch, which I touched up in GIMP to add a splash of colour and a bit of shade. It's a more or less accurate view of the throne room in my current fort. Obviously the engravings aren't as bizarre or asymmetrical as the real thing, and you can't place braziers yet (damn it!) but that's what the throne room looks like. The throne is made of solid gold, as are the doors behind it.
Super difficult to upload things; I have only the thinnest sliver of 'net out here at sea.

My point is to try and draw everything exactly as it's described using the 'k' and 'v' and 't' commands. That way it's basically a pen and paper "screenshot."
My big mistake with the metalcrafter was that I was tired and I put the smelting furnace across from him instead of diagonal from him.
Post by: DWC on May 03, 2013, 10:46:58 am
I sometimes sketch out rooms/ parts of the fortress when I have some difficulty imagining what they'd look like in 3 dimensions or irl.
I'm still not sure what up/down staircases look like, or two bedrooms sharing 1 door in the intersection of the wall. I suppose the stairs could be a narrow spiral staircase, but not sure how the landings would work... and the door, I dunno, it seems like some Lovecraftian alien geometry that causes insanity to look at because mortal minds cannot comprehend it.
Post by: Hamsmagoo on May 03, 2013, 12:26:59 pm
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
You have to think relative to the point of view. So, a down staircase would simply be access to the layer underneath. An up staircase would simply be a path to the layer above. To depict an up/down staircase, accurately, you would have to show a path down AND path up, in the same tile.
So, a spiral staircase would work, IF you have it coming up from a hole in the ground and rising into a hole in the ceiling. However, a spiral staircase could be only up, if there's a solid floor underneath. The direction that the stairs lead are the bigger indicator than the aesthetic style.
EDIT: also, I'm not sure what exactly you're describing with the door, but if you can send a screenshot, I'll try and draw it
Post by: Spitfire on May 03, 2013, 12:36:56 pm
Real stairs can't depict this level of movement freedom. That's why I always imagine DF-stairs to actually be ladders. Fits that an unconcious creature will tumble to the very bottom.
Real stairs are more related to DF-ramps.
Post by: Hamsmagoo on May 03, 2013, 12:41:15 pm
Ramps would just be drawn as ramps. I wouldn't put steps on a ramp.
And I think real life stairs work exactly the same way. I mean, you can approach that staircase I drew from eight different angles. Then, once you climb or descend, you can depart from one of eight different directions. There may not be a floor tile to accommodate all eight, all the time. Like when you build stairs against a wall. But there's nothing about stairs in this game that defies physics, in my opinion. It's just about visualizing what the little symbols are doing.

Compared to Dwarf Fortress, Eve is pretty simple. Compared to other MMO's, it's not. I played a few years of EVE. Trying to explain the old scanning system was nuts, for example. Or how the faction system actually worked as opposed to how newbies normally thought it worked. Or how to build POS'es. Or proper fitting of PVE ships compared to PVP ships. Or how resistances work.

Post by: KharBevNor on November 07, 2013, 08:22:32 am
I've posted these in a separate thread down in the creative projects forum, but I thought I'd pop them in here as well, where people are more likely to see them. The inspiration for this work came when someone posted Edward Gorey's classic morbid alphabet The Gashlycrumb Tinies (http://takalak.narod.ru/gorey/) to reddit's /r/dwarffortress under the title, 'a dwarf child's alphabet'. I thought that the idea could stand some dwarfifying, and, after a few versions, limited by the fact that the game's options for Dwarf names indicate the Dwarven alphabet to be of twenty letters (With no H, J, P, Q, W, X or Y, but including a Th). After coming up with the rhyme, it quickly became obvious that I would have to illustrate it, and I set to work. As I completed more and more images, I became more convinced of the appropriateness of the treatment, rendering it as something more than parody. After all, Gorey's original work subverts the normally carefree world of childhood represented by the abecedarium (ABC book) by introducing parental paranoias about the dangers that face their offspring. The Dwarf Fortress version casts the Dwarves as children and the player as the parents, a relationship which I, at least relate to, though which might discomfort some of the more Machiavellian players of the great game.

Both K33n and Tofu's last pieces are definitely digital. You'd be surprised at what you can achieve with even the most basic tablets; I get fairly good results with my Bamboo, which is absolutely entry level, just working in Photoshop.So there is hope with me and GIMP and/or Photoshop! Yay!

Both K33n and Tofu's last pieces are definitely digital. You'd be surprised at what you can achieve with even the most basic tablets; I get fairly good results with my Bamboo, which is absolutely entry level, just working in Photoshop.
I've posted these in a separate thread down in the creative projects forum, but I thought I'd pop them in here as well, where people are more likely to see them. The inspiration for this work came when someone posted Edward Gorey's classic morbid alphabet The Gashlycrumb Tinies (http://takalak.narod.ru/gorey/) to reddit's /r/dwarffortress under the title, 'a dwarf child's alphabet'. I thought that the idea could stand some dwarfifying, and, after a few versions, limited by the fact that the game's options for Dwarf names indicate the Dwarven alphabet to be of twenty letters (With no H, J, P, Q, W, X or Y, but including a Th). After coming up with the rhyme, it quickly became obvious that I would have to illustrate it, and I set to work. As I completed more and more images, I became more convinced of the appropriateness of the treatment, rendering it as something more than parody. After all, Gorey's original work subverts the normally carefree world of childhood represented by the abecedarium (ABC book) by introducing parental paranoias about the dangers that face their offspring. The Dwarf Fortress version casts the Dwarves as children and the player as the parents, a relationship which I, at least relate to, though which might discomfort some of the more Machiavellian players of the great game. Anyway, here's the pictures as an imgur album (http://imgur.com/a/HHo78), or, in the cut:Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I'm getting a feeling of possession or elemental power here. The cloud over the head makes it seem more elemental, but could also be an indication of possession since this is a visual medium?
Is this fellow supposed to be a husk, a possessed dwarf, a dwarf in a fell mood?
I'm thinking fell mood, it just feels darker, but not raw or chaotic enough to be a husk?

I think it's safe to say that you need to work on it a bit, but if that's just raw talent, and you've only just started trying to actively learn to draw better, and you stick to it, you are going to be putting out some really good stuff in the near future.

To be honest i put most of the effort effort into the first one... i just got impatient with the second one i think... i guess i will have to make a better version of it in the future since almost everything there (aside of the dwarven Icarus and even he could use extra work) was a placeholder (hills, tree/sling, dorfs in the background) or a quick doodle just to have it done (goblin/elf).

As for the sketch... racoons steal the strangest of things don't they? A kobold nabbing a steel axe is understandable because they just roll like this but raccoons going off with anvils and battle axes? Shouldn't they just steal food and the like?
Post by: Farmerbob on January 12, 2014, 08:58:43 pm
Putting a mass limit of the stolen thing based on the mass of the stealer might be a good idea though.
Post by: ShadowHammer on January 12, 2014, 11:37:48 pm
Well, in real life, raccoons have been noted to mess around with and steal some pretty odd things. Same with a lot of the smarter birds. Crows are notorious for stealing shiny things, for example, and the speaking birds will definitely steal stuff they can't possibly use.What? You mean that monkeys can't run away with a 50 kilo solid gold statue in real life?

I'm getting a very British Early Colonial Era Dwarf feel from the first. No doubt the griffin/dragon thing helps.
With ears like that, I bet that elf can hear everything the dwarves say about him, which certainly explains the apparent grumpiness.
The second dwarf? Looks like he's saying "get the hell out of my bedroom" to someone he doesn't consider to be a threat. I'm not going to comment on his shorts being armored.

Most of it is padding. Also, in DF elves are as short as dwarfs are.
Nah, they have the same volume, but if the old raws are to be believed they are narrow rather than short. Same goes for goblins.

Maybe, maybe not. The armour is all interchangeable between them - including helmets, gauntlets and boots. This leads me to conclude that they are short like dwarfs.

Most of it is padding. Also, in DF elves are as short as dwarfs are.
Nah, they have the same volume, but if the old raws are to be believed they are narrow rather than short. Same goes for goblins.
Maybe, maybe not. The armour is all interchangeable between them - including helmets, gauntlets and boots. This leads me to conclude that they are short like dwarfs.
That is the case now. Used to be that goblins had gear tagged as small, like human gear is tagged large. I think elves also wore small tagged gear. Can't remember for sure offhand.

Namely, all of them have EXACTLY the same proportions, because all of them use the exact same HUMANOID_RELSIZES relative body part sizes. They are simply differently scaled version of the exact same body type on average.
Which is not really internally consistent with the armor types, because the game allows some dwarves to actually be LARGER than humans. Humans, on average are, 15% bigger or so. Yet individual humans can be as small as 75% as tall as normal, and dwarves can be as big as 125% as large as their normal... and... 1.25x60,000 >>> 0.75*70,000.
So... somehow, despite being the exact same body shape, and large dwarves being much larger than small humans, the small human can still only wear large armor, and the large dwarf can only wear small armor. In other words, it pretty much objectively makes absolutely no sense at the moment.
Trying to interpret it in a meaningful way for artwork is a losing battle. Just do whatever feels reasonable.

Note that nothing guarantees that the aspect ratio of any given body part need be as I drew them here. So they could actually have slightly different body types. But you can't deviate by all that much without getting physically unrealistic spindly arms, etc. and while maintaining body mass equality and any sort of realistic sharing of armor. Not nearly as much as you would want to when drawing what you might expect elves vs. dwarves to look like for instance.
It is pretty much locked in here that goblins and elves are merely dwarves without beards and differently colored skin / maybe some pointy ears / maybe 10% different proportions here and there, that's about it.
I guess you could potentially claim that humans have a dramatically different aspect ratio despite nearly equal area, but that is difficult to reconcile with ANY historical conception of these races (elves goblins and dwarves all being one body type and humans being another? No...). And regardless, "large" would not be the appropriate adjective for the armor. Perhaps "broad" or "narrow" or whatever armor, but not "large"

By the way, I made up the following image, according to precise measurements of relative body part sizes from the RAWs. The number of pixels is exactly right assuming body size is area seen from the front (as would be used for combat striking, for instance).

It looks like you were thinking in two dimensions when you designed this. That's fine for a Gumby-shaped humanoid, but keep in mind that the thickness of parts along the unshown Z-axis varies considerably. In particular, taking this into account would make the arms (and legs, to a lesser extent) much less stubby. It also gives you more wiggle room to make dwarves short and burly and to make elves tall and thin, while still keeping the total volume where it's supposed to be relative to humans.

What's more, I'm sure those same likelihoods are used for attacks from the side, prone attacks, etc, where the cross-sectional area model doesn't make sense.There is no such thing as the "side" of a creature in dwarf fortress. ;) You're confusing things by bringing in Earth physics. Creatures in DF have no directionality, they are presumably some sort of multidimensional tessellations that somehow present their frontsides to everybody viewing them at once (sort of like items on the groun in multiplayer minecraft, I suppose). Everything in game suggests this: observation of ambushers is equal in all directions at all times, there is no "backstabbing," there is no penalty to moving in any direction based on past history, etc.
In any case, though, even if we were to allow that they do have sides and backs, that wouldn't neatly explain anything. If so, then the RELSIZES are just wrongly applied, simple as that. Whether they refer to area or volume, BOTH would be wrong in that case when applied from the side. At least area makes sense in some cases, though (front and back attacks), whereas volume never makes much sense as a contributor to hit likelihood.

I'm sorry, but you are wrong. In combat, creatures are considered to be facing in a particular direction, and attacks from the side or from behind are not only possible but are given bonuses to hit. That's pretty much the only time facing is considered by the game, to my knowledge.

But it is still the case that using any one set of relative sizes is incorrect no matter what -- whether they refer to area or to volume -- when applied to both side and frontal calculations.
Nor does adding some scalar multiplier bonus solve it, because the differences between front and side are quite non-linear, and a linear adjustment would be insufficient.
If you wanted to be as accurate as possible while still keeping memory and processing footprint as close as possible to the current footprint, then you should do something like this:
* Come up with some rough blobby 3d models of each creature. Some may use templates if differences aren't important.
* calculate projections from 5 angles: front, back, side(s), front diagonal(s), back diagonal(s), back, and make a table of cross sectional areas for each.
* Save those tables in RAWs. The 3d models can then be ignored and need not be packaged with the game.
* The game draws from whichever table is relevant for the current combat event as needed.
In the meantime, I would still maintain that interpreting them as cross sectional areas AT LEAST makes sense for one direction. Whereas interpreting them as volumes makes sense for no directions. Unless the game during combat always takes a cube root and then squares it to determine target size, which I very much doubt / hope it doesn't.

In the second one, I had a feeling of cold. Lots of cold, with a potential for safety in what looks looks like a fortress. I was able to imagine the misery and hope of the immigrant that I'm guessing is the source of this point of view as they cross a mountain range to reach their destination.

It incorporates tropes and conventions from all works of fantasy and adventure, not just Legend of Zelda, but it most heavily borrows from role-playing games, Dungeons & Dragons in particular. It's not a parody; it's a celebration. It truly revels in and typifies the genre; in fact probably more than any other TV show, because it rejects many of the conventions of narrative. Storylines often trail off with no clear message or theme established; heroes often leave with no positive moral reinforcement and problems are often left unresolved, or worsened. In this way it reflects the rolling narrative of tabletop role-playing games, or indeed real life.
I like Adventure Time :)

Wizardry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wizardry) back in 1981 was the first massively popular computer game that I recall that prominently featured the "sword through the title" motif.

If I had to make a guess, I'd say the first uses were likely based around the Excalibur legend. Someone surely considered a sword through the title as a clever take on the sword in the stone. But yes, hard to research something like that.

This excellent stuff, as usual, Tofu!
His expression looks more adult, steady and serious, I think. Or something changed slightly in the stance. You definitely got rid of the effete quality in his appearance I picked up before, even though I can't tell exactly how.
While the muscles are clearly there, the proportions of chest width and arm length don't strike me as being very dwarven (for an adult, anyway). Now that might just be me and my personal opinion of what a dwarf should look like, but I'll mention a few things that seem off *to me*
The first thing I see is that his arms are a bit too short. They do appear to be a little longer than average for a human, but I have always imagined dwarves as having arms that allow them to grip their calves when standing. Not knuckle-dragging if they have good posture, but with age, poor posture, and/or a little spinal curvature, knuckle dragging might happen. This might also be resolved by making the legs a bit stubbier, thighs and calves both?
The second thing is that the torso isn't wide enough. I see dwarves in my head as being barrel-chested. My shoulders are wide for a human's, and when I look in the mirror, my head, at the same angle his is, is a lot more narrow in comparison to my shoulders. This either means that your dwarf has a very big head (possible) or his shoulders are proportionately narrower than mine (maybe he's a skinny dwarf?) His arms also hang down, with little separation from his waist or legs, much like a well-muscled human would, instead of gapping due to very wide shoulders as I would expect.
The third thing is also shoulder related. To me, your dwarf seems to have too-round shoulders. Based on the apparent muscularity of the arms and the lack of excessive belly fat, this dwarf is no stranger to manual labor, or they have a very active metabolism. The shoulders seem to slant too much downward after the point where the neck muscles connect. Either that, or the neck is too long. Or a combination of both.
These are my opinions about what a dwarf should look like though. Mileage may vary :)

I haven't looked at the rules lately but that kind of nudity probably won't do you any favors. Just a heads up.
Alright, I've successfully modded my dwarves to be able to make leather thongs, sandals and capes. If I get around to playing the next few days I'll report back.

Engraved on the wall is a finely designed image of dwarves and dwarves by DS Blake. The dwarves are fighting with the dwarves. The dwarves are striking down the dwarves.
The artwork relates to the destruction of the Dwarf Fortress Inkychannels by mass insanity in the year 294.

The thing that commonly dread adventurers are smaller than the things adventurers pick up and use on bronze colossi.
3 bogeymen equal to 1 dwarf baby
you need 60 of them to stack up to a fully grown dwarf.

Thunt does some damn good work, and this page is a page with two dwarves fighting.
**Note. The dwarf whose face you can see recently experienced an encounter where his beard became remarkably resistant to damage. He uses it to shield himself in one of the frames, which might look strange if you don't know what/how/why. I suggest reading through the whole series. Worth the time. His improvement as an artist over time is remarkable.

Or if they can, like in my own novels 'verse, the elves and dwarves have a good trading relationship of mostly fish for crafts. Although my dwarves don't trust anyone since even the elves have pirates.

So :
I just have had a vampire, and decided to get rid of him. She killed 5843 before coming here.And...of course, as soon as she arrived, she became my new mayor.
To get rid of unwanted dwarves, I create a burrow on a retractable bridge (3x3), and sent them 10 levels below in the same 3x3 room, without a door,...and I add her to the the next dead-soon procession.
I noticed that she didn't die. Many don't, and they die after days and weeks of suffering, of pain, of thirst, of madness. Some even become mad or depressive just by seeing so many dead bodies/skeletons. Some spat at the mayor, I'm not sure but I think he killed some of them and was seen. There are corpses everywhere, and I don't memorize forlorn ghosts (as they don't move).
After quite a time, I looked at him. Not a single wound. And all these thoughts...but...but...?
"How great it is to be surrounded by family!"
I founded this particularly strange, as her personnality is not at all overjoyful.

"The Terror of Vomit", an exceptional crayon drawing of Ngopex Rushan Mothi the Forgotten Beast.
This item is an exceptionally designed image of the Forgotten Beast Ngopex Rushan Mothi and a dwarf in crayon by "Toady One" Adams. Ngopex Rushan Mothi is striking a menacing pose. The dwarf looks terrified. This artwork relates to the Rampage of the Forgotten Beast Ngopex Rushan Mothi in The Princess of Night in 136.

This is a tall silver helm. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is encrusted with tapered baguette cut clear garnets, studded with silver and encircled with bands of round chalk cabochons and octagon cut clear garnets. This object menaces with spikes of clear garnet.

I'm really really digging ninedots' recent, less abstract work.If you look at his old posts, he isn't really less abstract than he used to be, he's done a lot of quite representational stuff the whole time he's been here. What he's doing differently is that he's painting more. Until somewhat recently, most of his stuff was line drawing, with solid color fields for empty space. Now he's doing more that's painted, with edges rather than lines, and colors that have been painted on with a knife (or, I think, some digital equivalent that I'm not familiar with) filling the spaces that would have been blank before.
I like both styles in different ways, but the more painterly one seems more marketable.

Good God, what do you people use to draw these Masterpieces?!? I mean, people say I'm good at drawing, but that's partially because most of my friends stay with stick-figures!! Teach me your ways!
Thank you kindly, fellow forum member.
I use photoshop to paint these, with a set of brushes I've cobbled together over the years. If your demand for tutoring wasn't in jest then you can just send me a pm and I can give you a few pointers, mate. Ain't no thang.

@Kestrel- Awesome! Saw this on deviantart, and it inspired me to crack open my copy of dwarf fortress again, and see I could make my poor dwarves do before their inevitable deaths.
@Tofu- Well, damn... That looks like some production art for a AAA Dwarf Fortress game or movie. Keep that stuff up!

I'm not entirely sure if this fits in here, since it's not technically fan art of dwarf fortress, but at least it was inspired by toady's work on the artifact release that triggered this. I looked through some of the interesting items in the lotr wiki, thinking of the possibilities. I guess rings of power aren't that far out of the question in the future, or at least something akin to that.+100

Here is the description (edited for drawing reference):
Mudo Bonesnight the Faint Burial was a troll of evil. A scaly humanoid. It has a long, straight tail and it lumbers along steadily from place to place. Its clear scales are large and close-set. And for the gender, Mudo is male.
There probably was no "I will draw your night troll" thread, so I came here.
Sorry if this is stupid.

Really now? I chose Asin because me and my friend were deciding our dwarven names (We're weird) using the Wiki's language and my friend said my name would be Asin (according to the wiki, it means lunch.) Later, when I was making an account here, the name popped into my mind and that's how I got Asin as my username.

A goblin character I made.
Stulu Maliceage.
A goblin with slate gray skin, a short head, a narrow chin, a long and slightly hooked nose, and splayed out ears. His hair is dark scarlet, very long and slightly greasy. His red eyes are slightly wide-set.
(He's a shopkeeper character I use in a roleplay thing. Yes, I roleplay. Don't judge me.)

His very long sideburns are braided.
His very long moustache is neatly combed.
His very long beard is braided.
His medium length hair is neatly combed.
His lips are very thick.
His nose bridge is convex.
His short upturned nose is extremely narrow.
His small-lobed ears are short.
His aqua eyes are slightly wide-set.
His head is somewhat short.
His hair is flax.
His skin is peach.

Thunenlolok gold coin of the year 273. On the front is a finely-designed image of a pig leather artifact, and on the rear a well-designed image of a dwarf.
Minting one stack of gold coins every year (spring) is fun, since the design changes each year.

In general I'd assume the artifact is just famous enough that people know what it is?

Several years ago I put together a 'dwarf randomiser', an html page with a button which randomly generated an image of a dwarf with a name and a little back-story. The images were deplorably flat vectors, but I'm thinking I could use hand drawn elements like the above, although I baulk at the amount of work it would take to draw/scan/tidy/colour/code!!
I'll try to do some more drawings and see where it leads. Any requests? :-)

Here's a copy and paste of what I posted.

Here is an "pen and ink" style map I made, using the legends viewer biome table as a source.
I tried to imagine it's something a dwarf cartographer could have drawn, given access to coloured ink. Lol.
Here is the original biome map

Here is my own version, using the biome map as a base.

Oh, and here's a bonus map with a similar aesthetic, also based off the biome map from legends.

Post by: Rumrusher on October 24, 2020, 03:54:33 pm
so here's fanart of this small hairy bogeyman that over 8 to 9ish years of research finally got around to making them civil through vanilla means.
Currently they are in a fort that pretty much is filled with dead bodies and while the other folks keep losing their mind from the corpses stokercity seems to be keeping it together.
it probably didn't help it's mostly their fault as the two years of them being in the fort they kept killing every citizen I didn't exile to someplace else, and everyone that I couldn't exile or kick out.
the fort currently after stokercity calm down was also dealing with a zombie horse(one of merchant horses got killed by stokercity who got reanimated in a panic by a local adventurer necromancer,) who kept killing the other folks that stokercity didn't murder first.
it took about 50 of the 99 gremlins dying and stokercity turning into a giant bear and biting the horse's head off to finally get around to safely attempting at repairing the fort... which is what I figure until I realize I got around so many corpses that it turn the fort into a stress spiral just looking at the pile since the migrants stop showing up and I lost the expedition leader.... to stokercity right before they became a full member of the civ I pretty much got by implanting the fort with adventurers who go mad from the pile of corpses and not properly set up the food industry.
hopefully after carrying away the corpses I could get to work on fixing the site up... or migrate the bogeyman out of there.
oh yeah another tidbit about Stokercity since they aren't losing their mind to pressure of living in this bad fort, they also got a chance to dip into medical profession to fix up the constantly fighting adv citizens.

i dunno imagining this bogeyman just doing dances at a tavern they work at seems adorable and on the plus side they double as a zoo given they now can polymorph.

Doodled this comic of the current state of night trolls in my vanilla forts in which they become citizens and quite peaceful.
since now this is possible I can probably go back and remember all the DF community Night troll designs doing fort mode jobs now.
edit: going back and fixing broken links

I finally got around to trying out the drawing tablet I bought last year, and drew a toad man riding a giant fire snail. The lighting and shadows are all over the place (or even missing, I dunno) but I'm overall happy with how it turned out, all the other things I attempted to draw I either got frustrated with and deleted or never got past the rough outline phase.

Already posted it on reddit so I'll just quote the explanation I made over there.
Quote
This is a digital "tapestry" I made. Meaning I first drew a pixel image and then wrote a script to make it look more like something material, an actual woven object. Now that I think of it the vertical format makes it look more like a carpet, so maybe that's the word I should have used... that doesn't have the same schwung to it, though.
As for the contents, it tells a story from DF talk #24, in which Toady generated a world using the mythgen demo, and discussed it with Rainseeker and Capntastic. Namely, it tells the story of the dwarves, and how they came to be. Below is an abridged version of the DF Talk exposition, containing only the things depicted in the tapestry.
The great being Fathis shed both its arms, one forming the sun, another the ocean. Fathis also shed much of his hair, and this created the great Thobius. Thobius was however not long for this world, and his blood of his corpse became the Different Place. From the sun came the Evil Test, and from the ocean came the Sephetia demons. In the Different Place, Kobikytai of the Sephitia demons disturbed the Evil Test and the dwarves were born. The dwarves then emerged from the different world, onto the world.
Maybe a quarter of the work went into the texture, and I'm quite proud of how it turned out, so I recommend looking at it in full size :)

How do I get my dwarves to make tapestries in fort mode, and how do I get them to hang them on the walls?

What was the issue, by the way? Can't find it anywhere.

What was the issue, by the way? Can't find it anywhere.Since dwarven civilizations couldn't ever make clothes for the lower body "under" layer (https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Armor#Lower_Body), if they did get some, like from dead invaders, they probably couldn't replace them, and would end up wearing them until the rotted off, causing negative thoughts. They'll be able to make some next week. I wonder if they'll also be able to make under layer headgear.

I think in the 6+ months since the last time I post, most of the DF related fanart I drew was mod focused.
So here's a at least in 47.05 confirmed doable by vanilla means doodle of a civil bogeyman, hanging out with a fairy.
