Ok, not a very orderly competition whit set rules, more like an encouragement to show of some DF art.<P>Really DF has lots of fan art in the form of stories, some of these stories are the best I've ever read. :) <BR>However this thread is about pictures.<P>I am quite sure there are many amazing painters, drawers(?), photoshop-ers, or whatever other thing might result in a picture.<BR>I am not one of those, so I won't submit anything myself. :) <P>Lastly if someone want to post some other art form fan art they are encouraged to do so, but it's not the main focus.
-
Sounds good.
-
I just made a page of DF sketches today, actually. I'll touch them up a bit and if they're any good I'll submit them.
-
I present to you -
Urist Stickdwarf (who lost his feet to a carp)

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...

I'll have to generate something new specifically for this thread, but here's an image I did a while back detailing the felling of my mayor, whose name I forget, by TouchedFlooded the frogman. This was the only frogman who ever came out of the cave river in that fort, as far as I know. He managed to kill something like three or four dwarves, plus a pet or two. I hated him with a passion, and I when they made a totem from his skull I never traded it away. It's a shame skull totems don't have the creature's name attached to them.

Is there a deadline? I'm thinking of entering, but since I don't have a scanner I'll have to draw in GIMP, and that'll take ages.

There is no deadline, no restrictions as to method, and really no concrete rules at all! :D

Superb pieces of work guys. Excellent work. When I compare them to my own sorry stick men doodled in margins, I become sad.

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.
-
I love 'em Joro, very faithful to DF =)
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
-
I think the women are just supposed to have stubble... The full, grand beards are reserved for the men.
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...).
-
Just today I was pondering the possibility of producing DF-themed warhammer models, complete with profession-appropriate colour schemes...
-
Speaking of DF themed Warhammer, I've had a squad of unpainted dwarves sitting around for ages... Unfortunately all my miniatures and paints are on the other side of the state. Ah well.
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.
-
Second Submission!
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.

</STRONG>
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.

I hate to do this, but I haven't really managed to come up with any concrete stuff as far as an engraving piece, but I thought it would be cool to post the sketches I've come up with in the process, and a little tribute to Dwarf Fortress for inspiring me to draw and giving me visions =)
Some Goblins and Crossbows
Some DF inspired sketches
CUTE FORT DWARVES ATTACK

These I drew back when I was playing WoW, but dwarves as dwarves, Eh?
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]

Thanks. Lava was actually the easiest part. All I needed was dodge/burn. The really hard part is drawing flames, and I failed miserably there. If I had found a way to draw better flames, there'd be small flames coming out of lava here and there, and it'd look even better.
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). I'll make it bigger, too, in case someone wants it as desktop background.
BTW, your butcher was awesome. Was he drawn by hand and coloured on computer? Because I could never draw something like that with a mouse.
-
Everything I've posted here was done all on the computer with my tablet. I'm terrible at drawing with a mouse and my scanner is pretty crappy, so I love my tablet.
-
The flames look just fine to me, quite well done actually. I'm absolutely horrible at GIMP. The most I've ever done with it has been resizing, adding text, and mucking around with various filters.
And Armok, it's "subtle", not "subtitle". Sorry about it anyways (to Moose).

I was going to make some crack about people submitting foreign films, but I couldn't bring myself to do it.

The whole subtitle thing had me confused. I thought he was displeased because I talked about my picture OOC :S

?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

Further adventures of elves! Scenario kinda-sorta stolen from Nist Akath, with the tree cutting agreements in the barren tundra.Sorry for the sketchiness, but I had a dire urge to do DF fanarts and not a lot of time to do it in.

(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

Ah! I see now. Pixaldwarf's work above is in 24x24. I can see why that would be a pain in the ass.
-
Blargh! I give up, I simply dont have the skills to do this effectively. I do think its possible though, we can set all rock tiles to use the same graphic so we only need to use one tile on the tile sheet. This is useful since so many rock tiles use different characters, and since we dont want to make the letter 'v' look like a chunk of rock.

Here's another one I just made; I've been pretty non-creative lately so this one's pretty rough, but I find the concept of the dwarves slaving at the magma forges to be an evocative image in the DF world; if I were a better artist I'dve been able to capture that better, but this child-like drawing will have to do:

I find his lack of beard disturbing.

That's it. I knew he looked a little weird, and it was the missing beard.

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.
-
It's not just the lack of beard, there's something indescribably... wrong... with him. I don't know what it is, something about the expression on his face.

Hi!
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 :) :) :) :) :)

Minor and unimportant nitpick- an archer would have bow'n'arrows, not a crossbow and bolts. Crossbows are probably too complex for the goblin brain.

I chose the automatic crossbow with bolt belts as descriptive of their insane firing rate. I guess it didn't really show well, but that crossbow gets belt-loaded like a machine gun.
Just something I wanted to clarify.

It's still a crossbow being used by an archer. Archers use bows, crossbowmen use crossbows.
And goblins do indeed have crossbows, as well as standard bows.

Knowing the various types of demons, I definetly dont want to sit in that chair! Pretty cool though.

Hi!
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 believe that would be one of those menacing spikes. And I agree that it looks great. It's style reminds me of those 3-panel newspaper comics.

That's great, even the dwarf has a menacing spike coming out of his head, as opposed to one going into his head. This must mean he is not a noble.

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.

Hi!
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.

Not real legos. I used the Lego Factory program.

Holy carp, Balathustrius, that's very impressive.
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.

Not an altogether "dwarfly" dwarf, looks more like an axedwarf child...
I'm usually pretty bad at drawing "organic lifeforms", so I consider this one of my better drawings.
edit: yee gods, I should remember to use the "actual pixels" zoom mode before saving a scan...

I made an MSpaint drawing of the engraving that my dwarf made of himself engraving a circle. I found it funny that he finds immodesty distasteful.

He's just a hypocrite.
That or he REALLY liked that circle.

Now you're gonna get 100+ engravings of him which praise each other >.< .

You're a genius Deon! my next fortress will definately have at least one of those bridges. Hmmm, maybe it could be used to get rid of cats too.

I really, really like this one. The proportions of the face are just right, somehow-- I like the giant nose; it looks majestically dwarven rather than just ridiculous.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.

Theres something about that metallic hand...

The thing is worth 151,800 turtles. It's completely useless, since it's made of rose gold AND it lacks a matching left gauntlet. I can't complain, though, since I now have two legendary armorers in this fort.
Made this!

hmm, I made a revised version of the dwarf fortress 2 image I mentioned from the thread someone made a while ago, should upload that. only real problem was that I thought the sniper was on the heavy's right and not on his left :(

I wonder what program made that gauntlet...

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. ^^

Try to get a notebook, man. Or at least paper without lines - if you plan on putting any effort into a drawing, you shouldn't waste it on poor material.

Hey, I didn't mean it that negatively. :P As a matter of fact, I really like a lot of the drawings here. It's just that (and that may be just me) badly drawn drawing kind-of depress me (especially since it's a competition).

Why yes it is.

Good stuff, Deon and Armok. Although your latest female butcher looks a tad like the girl from The Ring.. :P

I still don't get it why do you use the spoiler tag ! It's not like it has any usefulness. If you want to display a picture, why hide it first ?
-
I expect the 'spoiler' is so the thread will load faster, and be easier to scroll through.
-
Well, I don't know if it works differently in IE or Opera, but in Firefox it loads images that are in spoiler tags anyway. The only gain seems to be it's easier to move about the thread.

It's from an internet meme/image macro, the pictures are from the (authentic) early medieval Bayeux tapestry, but photoshopped.

That makes it no less excellent. I commend you, sir, for the extraordinary skill with which the image was selected and edited. Bravo.

The two mushrooms are supposed to be a pair of Tower-caps, the civ symbol. I was trying something a little different with the coloring, so maybe the next one will be less monochromatic.

Well, first I did this: Necroclearings, the red spinel amulet from the classic Boatmurdered.

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.

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.

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)

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.

I'm sorry but this is the internet, where pretending to be someone else is easy.

i don't consider myself to not have experiance of internet neither,but in your logic there is just one point what i can't get:
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?
-
Maybe not, but that isn't the point in this case. You have to remember that people thought someone elses art was being ripped off here, and I know that if someone pretended that my art was theirs then I'd be very angry. Not only that, but it's illegal to pretend that someone elses art is your own. There is harm done, its called a copyright violation, and can be very serious. Granted, it may be foolish, it may be a small amount of harm, but its still there. I'd be angry if someone stole my art even if they took it on a forum and, for one post, said it was theirs. even if no-one saw it.
-
true maybe i see so because i am not an artist, but i would feel more said/sorry about a people taking my art to feel himself appreciated. i would be angry in the case if he would sell my art if i didn't wanted of cours, but just for the appreciation? a people how needs it so much, that he is capable to lie for it ... i don't think i could be angry of him, he should have many problems in RL anyway...
but i never really felt to need other peoples opignons, just some few i really care but the most of the people i just don't bother with ... so i know i have a strange vision of things.
-
People,problem is solved.
Everyone have own opinion on things so it's always be some disagrees about it.
Let's forget it(and dont flood here) and begin post some cool art ;)
-
Chubacca, you have a very nice, clean line (I don't know a better word to express it), and also your colouring and shadows look very good. Your characters also look like they have personality, I like the eyes especially. Oftenn fantasy pin-ups like these are very well drawn, but have sort of blank faces - these faces have warmth and personality, and humour, I really enjoy looking at these. Very nice work! Constructive critisism: I'm not an expert, but I think you could work on the postures of these characters: their bodies look a bit contorted, it looks like standing like that would be uncomfortable. Also (just as a thought or experiment) try to think of a story to tell with a picture - they already have a lot of character, so that might take them to a next level. Again, very good work!

Guys stop talking about watermarks here. It's DF forum! I want more pics to increase my happiness and I'm about to throw tantrum so hurry!
P.S. I have a crappy dining room.

Doublepost for my pleasure! I'm too irritated with this thread that I reject editing.
P.S. Now I think that it was not so good idea to post my art here.Just wanted to show it to you all and just add a few pics later,but now this looks like you think that I'm liar...sad.
The most stupid in this situation is - that it is my art and I know it,and now I must prove it to you...
Don't you EVER listen to jerks which try to insult your great art while admiring crapshit. I may sound rough but it's you giving them present for showing it and not opposite.
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.

It's only distorting your post, and even with my low speed connection there's no such thing as a lag spike when I'm viewing a loading 1000 × 800 pixels picture.

From experiance if its big enough it can distort the entire thread. It's common practice to spoiler tag large images anyway, for this reason. Does it actually matter?

Cuz everybody else also recognized it but thought it was obvious and not worthy of mention?
Anyways i'm just using a piece of Starcraft concept art (more like 'official fanart' really) as my background.

I like visceral pictures that say more than words. :)
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.

Started drawing one of my favorite humans in my current fort. He's currently wearing leather/chain/splint mail. And 2 types of hats, a tricorner and a fedora. He's the slowest unit in the game currently, well would be, if he was not healing from taking out 2 goblin ambush parties by himself.
Still very rough, but I hope to be able to finish it and start coloring it sometime soon.
-
That drawing is excellent. The slightly stylistic face is really wonderful, even if he doesn't have a beard. The whole thing is so great, in fact, that there is only one tiny problem with it, and is so tiny that it isn't even worth mentioning.
"But Reasonableman, why did you mention it?"
Well, children, I enjoy pretending that I am somehow qualified to critique art.
EDIT: I will shortly post a little disembodied dwarf head that I doodled on my DS, for funsies.

I should get a title of "necromancer of art" for bringing this old thread up again and again.
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
-
I noticed the non-dwarfiness, but beardlessness isn't the tiny problem. I just figured I'd try to appeal to the dwarf-loving inhabitants of this forum with an endearing quibble to the effect that you should've drawn a dwarf instead.
I will never tell you what the problem is.
This comment will fester in the back of your mind and slowly drive you insane.

That's a really impressive sense of motion. Are you an animator?

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.
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.

Probably won't finish this because I can't get the colors right. That and I kind of screwed up the layers since I wasn't sure what I was painting. Oh well
-
That's a really impressive sense of motion. Are you an animator?
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 .... ?
Thanks for the compliments chaps ... it makes me feel all warm inside ...
-
Impressive stuff I've seen so far. I drew a three panel DF comic, by hand, a month or so back. Haven't got it ready to scan, though.
-
I must say, I really like Morr's style. It makes me think of ancient Chinese watercolor paintings, but dwarfy.
-
Sorry I don't have a scanner ... limited by flash photography unfortunately ...

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.
-
Spray-on fixatives are a lifesaver for sketches.
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).
(come to think of it, I think I've heard that you can use hairspray in a pinch, or to pinch a penny)
-
Isn't hairspray highly flammable? And if so, is the stuff for sketches (a lot) less so?
-
Some hair sprays are extremely flammable, yes. Most aerosol sprays are flammable, though, if only because a flammable gas is used to pressurize them. (though I know hairspray can be flammable after it's dried-on, too. It makes for some amusing hair accidents) I'd assume that the fixative is either acrylic or some sort of resin, so it may or may not be flammable. When dry it's likely to be less flammable than the paper you're spraying with it, though.
Of course, if your sketches are that close to an open flame that such a thing matters, I think you have other problems to worry about.
-
I keep all of them in the airing cupboard now.
I actually transferred all my books into there as it's warm and dry.
My house is bloody freezing. My fault for being british, I suppose.
-
I would love to see more player sketches of their own forts (posted to the DF Map Archive (http://mkv25.net/dfma/index.php) for confirmation) or other people's forts. I always wonder what my forts would look like in reality, with proper wild grass and plant life and rough edges all the way along, but my imagination is limited somewhat.

Ah well.

Holy cow... just one thing, you still have the original right? Could you post a PNG rather than a JPG, in high res if you have it? The JPG compression (check out the mountain) isn't doing it justice.
-
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.

Okay, that was awesome.

Yeah man, Tinypic is where it's at. I haven't had any problems since I started using it.

Oh crap, I just realized I forgot one very important detail (I sketched it but forgot to colour it): a blind marksdwarf lookout. Without him the walls look a bit empty. Maybe I'll throw him in when I redo the shadows, and add two more details I thought of after I submitted this image. There isn't a rule against submitting the same image twice, right?
-
I held off trying anything for a long time, since I usually have a lot of trouble drawing humanoids...:/ My specialty tends to be monsters. I guess you could call this a compromise. XD
It's just a sketch because colour takes too long. :/

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.

Lots of really awesome art in this thread :)

Surely that tentacle demon's striking resemblance to Dr. Zoidberg cannot be undeliberate?

I'd imagine the tentacle daemons to be a fleshy cylinder, with the tentacles attached to the sides, possibly with a large, sharp toothed mouth. That reminds me of one of Lloth's minions. What are they called... Yochlols.

Your zombie looks very fresh and healthy. Also, a very negroid-looking facial structure.
OH GODS... Implied racism!!!! Alarms and klaxons!

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.
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.
-
Racism isn't as fun as specism. Black and white should live in perfect harmony and gang up on green.

Racial harmony is like Dungeons and Dragons Miniatures. I'm not sure how but, just take my word for it.

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.

This is my old elven Adventurer, Cóce Epeveíle Amatah Felah (I think. Her world was lost. D:), who originally came from the far south, but she was banished after she accidentally killed one of her companions (double-check who you're attacking!). She travelled north and signed on with the humans, and slew lots of evil beasts, before she attacked a dark fortress and came face to face with its dark master, the demon Nguslu somethingorother.
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.

Very nice, but doesn't it look more like a goblin than an elf?

How do you imagine an elf outcast without an eye who killed a demon? I guess she could be "changed" :).

Thats a "O", not a "g"!

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.

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.

Oh, and your dwarf looks OK. It looks a little like every bit was drawn (or at least colored) separately, and pasted together, but otherwise it's very nice. The gold idol glitters like a very glittery gold idol.

yeah, that was my first try so I was really afraid to mess it so I've made as much photoshop layers as I could xD

Also, deon. Your picture was pretty awsome imo. nice lighting effects and preshading. 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)).
ehh, sorry that looks like a wall of text >_>. to lazy to change so here...

Yeah but I try to learn to do shading without dodge/burn so every piece of armor has ~1000 clicks with different colored brushes. So if I want to fix something specific I'd have to undo the helload of work without it being on separate layers.
Oh, we're going a bit offtopic here ;).
But then it wouldn't be funny if it was tasteful
Bad quality and bad sense of humor are not the only funny things in the world :).
-
Deon, there might be some cheap-ass way to make it look better. Like combining everything once you're done and giving it some gaussian blur. Or placing some kind of muck layer above everything else, giving the image a unified color scheme. Or just prodding at the seams with the smudge tool. There might even be a special filter for just that.

I've been drawing a lot of dwarfs lately. Trying to break in a new style, and my new graphix pad, never used one before. I was inspired by this thread.
(http://fc86.deviantart.com/fs42/f/2009/077/4/6/Dwarf_With_a_Bucket_by_UnsubRedun.png)
Immediately after I drew this:

(I don't draw beards on my dwarfettes!)
It's been a day or so, and I just recently threw this one together, mostly for Avatar and Icon purposes, though.
(http://fc22.deviantart.com/fs42/f/2009/078/2/9/Surprised_Dwarf_by_UnsubRedun.png)
My devart will be updated every day or so, if I can, with some more Dwarf-related shenanigans, if you like my art.
-
Okay, compromise, you can have stick-figure dwarven porno as an alternative to quality fine-art dwarven porno.
-
Stop discussing crap already.
UnsubRedun: I like your style. The last dwarf is really surprized :D.
Soadreqm: No more blur, it already looks blurry. I just should make a good outline for all parts, I will make it later I guess (with better background).
-
Lots of great pictures since my last viewing. I especially liked the girl with the braids. That was visionary - I can imagine that would be very attractive to a male dwarf. (Especially with the hammer, heh.)

It's a little known fact, but carp hunt in packs.

Sup, goon?
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. :-\
Also, Morr: That's awesome! The elk antlers on his helm are a nice touch. =)
-
Wow, Morr, great drawing! I wish I could draw like you guys. I always loved your drawings too, ahrbee.

Awesome again, Morr.
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).

Are you sure? I don't know, if someone told me that their husband's name on an online forum was, all in caps, HORSE RAPER, *I* would look at them funny.
EDIT: Hahah, and now this is the first post on the page, so it'll be the first thing everyone sees when the page loads. :P

wait? that's you?
one thing I wanted to ask you: why haven't there been more sunderclasp pages for ages? I assumed you either only made 6 and I misread somewhere, or that you had been eaten by carp.
-
Sunderclasp resumes as of Monday--as of this morning I have 42 one-panel strips to scan and upload, completely inked and coloured. I thought I'd have it up by tonight, but instead I am calling it a night after throwing up for a couple of hours after eating at Denny's. =/ Monday, I promise.
-
oh, scanning them into the computer is the bottleneck then, I always do everything directly onto the computer so the possibility simply didn't spring to mind.
-
I do a little computer art, but for the most part, everything I do is on paper, inked and then coloured with copic markers. It takes a bit longer, but the results are worth it.
-
I wish I took my own art seriously enough to dish out money for Copic markers.
On a side note, my painting is done, but it will be a bit before I can get it digital.
-
Wow, Morr, great drawing! I wish I could draw like you guys. I always loved your drawings too, ahrbee.
I just wanted to say something like this. Some of you guys have excellent drawing skills. :o
-
Yeah, Copic markers are expensive. I sometimes feel that if I hadn't bought over $900 worth of them over the past couple years that I might be in a better state financially right now. They're an expensive hobby. :S
Anyhow, thanks, guys. It's good to know that the skills I honed for years by otherwise ignoring my studies are making people mildly amused. ;)
-
It sucks that all the good materials cost so much. All I have are some water-colored pencils (which are actually quite good), some normal-colored pencils, and four graphite pencils each for a different level of shading or sketching.

Drew another dwarf. This one's name is 'Brick' Flamebeards. I usually pick an "avatar" dwarf once I get a good number, one that has a personality that I like. He keeps his eyes on the other dwarfs.

I decided to try drawing a dwarf from my community fort. He wears bone and shell armor for the most part, but he does have a metal shield, helm, and boots. I threw in some hints as to the quality of each item.

I think the weakest points on there are the legs, hands, mace, and helmet.

Would anyone have any recommendations on what type of pen to use to ink over the lines in my previous picture? I think I could get a better quality image if the lines were darker.

I prefer to use a simple ballpoint pen, and fiddle with contrast and balance in photoshop/painter/whatever. Never tried GIMP, but I hear it's a free alternative.

I like the shading, but... doesn't frogs have a bigger lower jaw? :P Also, teeth on frogs - not so rad, imo. Don't take me wrong, though, I like the shading and the general style, especially the boots on the drow.
Wish I could use PS or openCanvas better, I'm stuck with both to get what I want, and that kinda kills oC's whole replay mode for me.
-
I was sorta thinking that "frog demon" is only a loosely descriptive appellation. They don't really look like frogs, they just look more like frogs than they do anything else.
Maybe they actually do look like giant, fire-immune frogs, though. But then, would they really be demons? Or just giant frogs?
These are questions not easily answered. ;)

Frog demons are just a mockery by the evil powers of the divine image of The Toad.

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.

yeah, I've been regretting posting that. The head sucks and now all I can think about are those stupid galoshes. ;D Oh well. The texturing/rendering was mostly the point of the exercise in any case, so I'm glad that's not utterly terrible. Thanks for the crit and the compliment.
-
The problem with elf is that his armor looks to the left while arms should be on a torso which is turned to the right.
The head needs to be lower or the neck shouldn't have that "bend" backwards. If you ignore this, it's a pretty cool image.

that is how ive always assumed kobolds to be like, sorta mousy, rather than scaly, lizardthingies.
still wish i could draw.
Love, jakkarra

They are not scaly, kobolds are furry :). And have no tails. If you want to see how kobolds look, try the Kobold Quest game by Toady.
-
i know they arent scaly, but most games seem to portray them as such nowadays.
i wouldent actually mind using them as my Default Playable race, as long as they have a full tilestet thing
Anyone got a full Kobold tileset? that is compatible with mayday, hopefully. :D

will my 'bolds work like dorfs? but with kobold names and such? or will i have to do any modding? :P
Also, does it have ALL the tiles required?

P.S will i have any problems with this?

Look through the thread to see what the mod does.

yeaaaaah, i was lookign at it after i last posted, i found the mayday patch.
hehe, i want simply to basically replace the dorfs with 'bolds and the language files and sech with a kobold one (which im looking for) im not really that fond of dwarves, but i Really like the 'bold, but they apparantly have really low tech in DF, which is kinda annowing.
Love, jakkarra
-
Kobolds don't have a language file. Instead they have the UTTERANCES tag which gives rise to their rather unique names.
-
I approve of that kobold.
The first game I ever encountered "kobolds" in was, oddly enough, Ragnarok Online, in which kobolds look like this: (link) (http://www.roempire.com/database/?page=monsters&act=view&mid=1133) (link) (http://www.roempire.com/database/?page=monsters&act=view&mid=1282)
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 know they use utterances, i was asking if anyone knew of a modded language file for them?
-

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 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.

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.

This is what I think of as kobolds. Maybe it's because it's the only 3d representation I've seen of them.
-
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.
Yes, yes, folklore and all that. I am quite aware.

Actually, that'd only be a forcible Eskimo kiss.

I always thought kobolds as miniature rat people. Who cares about the lesser races anyway? They exist to be downtrodded and slaughtered.

Oh my, furchans... Furry tendency screwed even kobolds.

Meh, Our Elves Are Different (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OurElvesAreBetter?from=Main.OurElvesAreDifferent), too.
Preferences differ, I like the 3rd ed's scaly kobolds more than the elder ed's doggy kobolds. 3rd ed kobolds menace with draconic spikes.

Hm, that kobold looks awfully similar to Ian McConville's gnolls.
-
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.
Scarier?

If Brian Froud is on the cards, then I always imagined Kobolds as looking like this:
(http://www.faeries.net/www/films/laby/images/lbent4.jpg)
Which kind of hits both the dog and lizard camps I suppose.

Kobolds have to be adorable as far as I'm concerned. You can keep your pointy-eared demon children.
Though my definition of adorable is fairly broad, really. That picture Ursca posted counts.
-
I think it fits. It is cute but not to cute.
-
Kobolds have been everything from diminuative humans with pointy ears, to dog-people, to lizard-people, to rat-people... I think it's safe to say there is NO definitive form for a kobold, so it really is whatever you like.
-
id say i prefer the cutesy puppy-people variety.
the ones done by gobbo are sooooo cute!
Love jakkarra
EDIT, this whole post sounds wrong.
-
Bernhard Hennen a fantasy writter from Germany does a good take on it. Everything anthropomorphic below 1.50 that isnt a dwarf is in the family of "Kobolds".
Considering that the French animalman like Lutin (mostly Fox - Lutin is the French word for Kobold), the irish Leprechaun and some other are all considered as Kobolds i would say that classification is one of the best.
-
My little kobold caused all this controversy?

Yeah, I always counted them as sort of dog-raccoon-rat humanoids. A scaly Kobold is a Goblin with bad skin.
Besides, look at the behavior - rummaging through your stuff, stealing shiny trinkets... totally raccoon.
I kill Goblins, but I try and trap Kobolds for the zoo.

i seriously shoulda broke out the Monster manual before i posted

sorry about that

P.S that was the most koboldy colour i could find... the others were worse, we need some more colours on this forum' text thing....
again, sorry about that.

Why doesn't DF have Gnolls? They would live near the Elves in the wooded areas and give them competition.
-
vanilla dosent because toady hasnt (bothered/wanted to) do it. yet....
However, i do beleive that there are a few mods that contain Gnolls, search for em.
Also, dont put em near elves, they'll all die out (the elves i mean) unless the elves pull some awesome trick out of there hat.
Love, jakkarra

the Forums have any color you want ;) just use RGB in the Color tags
Anyway please dont do the DnD crap on DF.

whats wrong with DnD? its perfectly fun.

I will not participate in a flame war, btw.

-
My mental image of kobolds comes from Baldur's Gate mostly. Small human-dog-hybrids that shoot flaming arrows at Imoen. Wouldn't last a single round in a fair fight, which means they have little to no motivation to fight fair.
Attempts to reconcile them with the cute huge-eyed puppy kobolds of 4chan have been, as of yet, unsuccessful.

I have the D&D monster manual, kobolds are lizard-dog-people, and gnolls are hyena people.
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.)
I'd have to say that the gnoll is the only one of the few D&D original creatures that meshes well with ones based on real mythology. They do WEIRD things with their races/creatures. They also do a good job of screwing up ones based on real mythology/whatever too. Troglodytes as lizards? Eh? The word pretty much means cavemen, as in the leopard skin wearing, club toting variety. As an aside, i think the original D&D kobolds were the dog-like ones and more recently they turned them draconian.

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.
DeadlyLintRoller: Thank you! Do you think this thread is generating hype? I dunno; I would think the only people who are here are people who already know about DF. Maybe we should paint some banner ads or something for DF.
Raz: Thanks for the kind words. I keep meaning to do some proper painting, instead of just sketches all the time. Too impatient, I guess. :)

Very nice. ;) I like the way you paint the muscles on the forearms (also on that elf). The armour looks great too, not too high fantasy.
Altough I do think the proportions are a bit weird, especially on the legs. This guy is way too short and feeble for a goblin methinks. :P
-
I think it can generate hype. Every major game title has concept art etc.,
I remember staring at Metzen's drawings for Starcraft. it really helps to give you a feel for a game.
Homeworld is another game that has a lot of cool art which I've always appreciated.

Doubt it. The Baldur's Gate / Icewind Dale sprites are, well, sprites. That's goblin is two dimensional, with about eight or so directions it can face. And Civ 4 has 3D models.

I'm sure it's originally from Icewind Dale/Baldurs Gate II, but it could have been put into one of the civ-3 mods.

The creepy part? Everyone in the civ all wore iron masks.

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.

Possibility 1: It is a cavern that has just been flooded, and the air needs time to heat before it cooks the occupants.
Possibility 2: Who says that's a dwarf standing by the magma? It could be a magma man or some other beasty.
Possibility 3: User has temperatures turned off. The dwarf is considering going for a swim, safe in knowing lava does not support carp or sea lampreys.

Possibility 4: Dwarves are immune to convection from magma.

Yep, it was done freehand with tablet + OpenCanvas in ~1-2 hours.
I'd gotten it in my head to draw a cave swallowman recently, because they're so...different. That and hybrids are one of my favourite things to draw, though he didn't end up too humanoid.
I'm really happy with how it turned out, though.
-
Also, you could design cooling systems so that warm air rises through the cavern roof and cool air is pulled down through inhabited areas. The walls should hopefully keep radiant heat out. The windows would have constant air circulation flowing out through them.
All in all, its THEORETICALLY possible.
The dude standing by the lava is obliviously a wizard.

Correction: "Life in a word is Cave-swalloman."
Depending where this cave is the cooling could be done by water that runs throught the pillars and the building. Pumped back upwards it could heat glacier/tundra fort enought for farming.

Blewing it up was lucky. It looks GREAT and pixelating gives it more DF look.

Heh, that's one of the reasons I chose Nearest Neighbour instead of the default enlargement setting. It reminded me of the way early 90's games looked with their low resolutions on large screens.
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).

Ehheh, Have an animation class. So I made some dwarves and a cat. Supposed to get animation done by tuesday, which probably will not happen.
-
Hey, those are quite good "dwarven models"...Good job, Morr! :)
-
Very well done!
Especialy great is the russian one.
-
Ah, the guy who makes Blastwave turned Dwarf.
And no, I won't ask you to make Gone With The Catsplosion.
Anyway, looking great!
-
but, those arent dwarves......
they are so, CLEAN and whats with the clothes? dwarves dont wear clothes, apart from socks and capes.....
still, very nicely made, how long did that take you? and, what program are you using?
and again, those look great :D
love, jakkarra

Sometimes they wear dresses.

Sometimes they wear dresses.
But then the second winter eats them.
-
Yes, making nearly naked dwarves covered in vomit and blood did cross my mind, but decided to go with this slightly cartoonish style instead.
how long did that take you? and, what program are you using?
Started a few weeks ago. Probably a few days of work on the dwarves. Cat took the longest because of various screwups. It's all done in 3ds max with CAT rigs.
-
Those are awesome!
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.)
-
.

I'm afraid I've not drawn anything in, oh, two or three years. I'm extremely rusty, and I was never any good to begin with :D Anyway, I threw together a quick sketch (I do want to start drawing again) - mostly to poke at dwarven anatomy. Behold, the Queen! 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:
(http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/9339/dfsketch.jpg)
Only use a cheap $60 program, but it works for what I'm usually drawing (that is, on the computer). Not that I do very often, but I need to justify the tablet every once in a while :/
Where is her Beard?

DF female dwarves doesn't have beards.

If I remember corectly, they do ...

You remember incorrectly. The new raws bring this up specifically:
Now we'll declare the specific castes.
[CASTE:FEMALE]
The gender tag lets it know how breeding works.
[FEMALE]
[MULTIPLE_LITTER_RARE]
To add beards, put square brackets around the following:
BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:FACIAL_HAIR_TISSUE_LAYERS
[CASTE:MALE]
[MALE]
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:FACIAL_HAIR_TISSUE_LAYERS]
(Emphasis added)
-
Ahah! But the raws are there, they just aren't active.
Hm. I guess that means humans should have a tag for tails that isn't in brackets.
-
Ahah! But the raws are there, they just aren't active.
Exactly - Toady One doesn't have female dwarves with beards, and that's not how he sees them. He did, however, add in the line so that people that want female dwarves with beards can have them without too many problems. I'm sure I saw a post on it somewhere as well.

So THAT'S how they fish! I always wondered how they did it without poles, I suppose massive traces of food would be found in the beards after the dwarves ate, that would be some good bait.

and dwarves fish with their beards.
Dwarves have always fished with their beards.

So if female dwarfs don't have beards, doesn't that mean that only make dwarfs can fish? Seems to be an inconsistency in the raws.

All female dwarves have beards. It's a fact.

is this going to turn into Schrodinger's Beard?

These people are obviously new to the internet.

Morr, would you ever release those dwarf models into the public domain? Or did you not make them? I'm sure other people in the DF community could have a lot of fun with some 3D actors.
-
speaking of 3d models, when i gets my XSI mod tool back working, and finish working on the models for my game, im going to work on some weapons and armour and stuff for the (possible, if unlikely) move to three-dimensional gaming (its likely that this will be when Pcs have a lot more CPU space and such).
i am aware that there is a good chance this will never happen at all, its just a little personal project...

Rule 34 of the day: Dwarven beards. Next!
Actually, you can keep whatever is next to yourself.

Then I found it.

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.
theres no rule 34 on MAGMA though. HAH!

That dwarf woman has no beard if it was not on her chin. There is a reason why mustaches and beards are different things.

As with every bit of DF fanart, I always have to point out the inaccuracies.
The one here being the dwarves building the wall are on the wrong side of it.
-
Au contrare, they are on the side with the fire. That is side dwarves will build from.
-
I would argue that dwarves will never wall themselves off from their drinks, but touché anyway.
-
Dwarves always build from the side you don't want them to.

I decided to try to learn how to paint digitally using photoshop, so I used one of my sketches I had lying around and this is what came out.

It's what I imagine the orcs from Rysith's mod might look like. The eyes are covered as a way for orcs to prove their bravery and skill in war, relying only on smell, hearing and viciousness to maul their opponents.
I kinda like how it turned out.

^ It looks like an undead to me, but the image itself is quite good. :)

looks like a troglodyte to me

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.

I fail to see the porn of that.
Also, text-based porn doesn't count.
-
i doubt that uniman is suggesting that someone actually posts a pic of said magma-erotica, but that seems to be the only way to disprove my hypothesis.
and before you inquire or assume, No, just no...

-
Eh, that's close enough to satisfy my "I'm right"-sense. Although to tell the truth, I just wanted an excuse to quote something from Planescape: Torment. I suppose I could try to look up the bit where someone gets pushed into actual magma. I'm at the mercy of the internet, having lost one of the CDs several years past.
-
Unfortunately for us, Google image searches of "Ignis rule 34" only come up with some... female creature with oversized bosoms.
-
Oh, just do an image search for "Ignus (http://images.google.fi/images?&q=ignus)". You'll get at least one picture of a man enveloped in flames and clearly enjoying it. REALLY enjoying it.
-
Here is my crappy sketch :) I hope it really is Dwarfish.

After this happened, some crazy magma and imps related accident happen so i was left with 3 dwarfes. But hopefully i got migrants in summer, although I am on island in center of ocean :).

I've drawn a couple of pictures for our small succesion game on a Czech forum. These are some important characters from our fortress. The drawings were supposed to be quick sketches at first, but after the first one, I spent more and more time on the following ones.
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.
(http://rpgforum.cz/temp/df/sodel.png)
-
Wow, Jiri Petru, those are great portraits. Great summaries of their personalities too. The mayor looks like an great subject to my most recent Noble's Catapult experiment.
-
I said I'd draw something, so... I present a Two-Legged Rhino Lizard!
(http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd23/GenericOverusedName/2016.png)
I really should pay more attention in class. Oh well. I'm working on shading and coloring this digitally, so expect an update (probably after AP testing, though)
(The text says "Much Better". I had drawn a less-awesome one on the previous page)
-
I, too, said I would make some art, and so here it is:
http://secularcleric.deviantart.com/art/Dwarven-Skeleton-122130515
I'd present it here, but there are two reasons why not to: firstly, I don't know how ::), and secondly the picture requires size to read the notes.
Also, my journal authenticates that this is indeed me. Just in case we ever hit that snag hit earlier in this thread. :D
-
Jiri, those are very good.
Generic, That is the best two legged rhino lizard I have ever seen.
-

No, it looks pretty good - the only criticism is that it looks like a velociraptor-sized animal rather than vermin-sized. To me anyway.

It looks to me like a Triceratops-Rex.

That's how i visualise my dwarves. ALL my dwarves, even the females. It's pretty game-accurate clothing wise too.
Now to all you wusses who want your female dwarves to NOT have beards, ponder this: HALF of your dwarves in fortress mode are liable to be female. In every job. Do you really want a dwarf fortress where some/most of your biggest badasses don't have beards?
-
Thanks all, it was indeed intended to be the quintessential dwarf of either gender - bearded of course and hairy, amazingly muscular, wearing a dress, a pair of socks, and a cap made from kitten leather, and spattered with blood and mud and vomit.
Still, there's one detail missing:

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.

Goldfish?

it's made out of copper, and no doubt the dwarves would easily be able to get into it, it is fairly thin. a warhammer in the hands of a child should be enough to puncture it.

Yes, but he's not referring to the Armok in DF, but it comes form a specific thread I stated my approval of and refers to me Armok the forumite, or so I asume. And I never stated he didnt have any right to do it anyway, just that it was minorlly impolite, and wasted effort as I wont be using it.

Well I don't know if this counts, but I recently made some fan art for Morul (the most interesting dwarf in the world). The link is in my sig.

I made a DF-themed claymation and accompanying storyboard a couple months ago. My Media teacher has the actual claymation, though, and the storyboards are absolutely tiny pictures. I'll try blowing them up.

I think the term both of you meant is "abdomen." Who cares though, your antman is awesome. That method of coloring produces a very unique (in a good way) look.
-
In regards to what I meant - yes and no, curently it has a humanlike abdomen, and no thorax I always had pictured them with a thorax though
(http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/willow/ant-info0.gif)
That Being said, I did not mean to draw any attention away from the obvious well drawn antman. just to query weather this should be taken as what DF antmen look like.

According to the dev-log, future versions of DF will have world-spanning caves. I heartily approve of this.
Maybe someday we'll see a Drow civ! I can dream...

I'm not exactly sure what that's supposed to be, but it's awesome nonetheless.

Can't say I'm a fan of the Drow, but then again... I won't be playing AS them. Heh heh... more things to poke holes into...
-
I'm not exactly sure what that's supposed to be, but it's awesome nonetheless.
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.
-
I'll have to look up what a Drow is apparently.
-
Then you dont know much about drow.
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.
-
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.
-
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...
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.
-
World spanning caves?
That will probably lead to a Gears of War mod.
I'm definitely looking forward to an underworld.

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. ;)

Areyar, your statement is endarkening, please enlighten me to what these endarkend ones are.
Google has no reference to them. and they arn't from D&D that I know or any other fantasy genre material that I have read.
-
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.
-
I'll just stick this in here

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.

I thought it would be funnier for him to be in tighty-whities. (Also, those briefs are made out of kitten leather). Besides, I can't imagine a single elf strong enough to wear dwarfy clothes. ;D
I forgot the ear hooks?! FFFFFFFFUUUUUU-

-
While that is an awesome picture, how the feckdamn did it come from trying to make a monocle?
-
I was mucking around with circles, realized I couldn't draw them. So then I tried a top hat.
Then it ended up as a shield and I said "Screw it, let's have a dwarf fighting a dragon."
-
Except you can't see his ears thanks to the weird mongolian head-shawl thing. What's the proper name for it anyhow?
Umm.. that's his hair. I guess I was too lazy to draw ears.
He also has no right arm.. just a floating hand.
and his legs don't connect to his torso properly.
in short, my image has many flaws.
-
Oh yeah... his hand is floating...
-
His waist doesn't look wrong, to me it looks like he's getting up/sitting down.
But the hand IS floating.

You know, the fact that no one noticed means that they were blinded by its awesome. ;D

It helps that I'm not an expert, or even slightly familiar with drawing whatsoever.
-
I like the way you draw :D.
Your dragon has no eyes though... Underground blind dragon which uses smell? :D
Also, it's a common and nice way to kill a dragon: get your sword stuck, then twist it like mad.
P.S> Oh, I see, it has eyes... I thought it's a nostril, my bad, sorry ;D.

What the dragon doesn't have is wings, since vanilla DF dragons can't fly, apparently.

Yeah, I know it so I didn't mention it.

Here's another Chasm creature..
The wiki says these guys aren't dangerous, but they keep ganging up and killing my dwarves' children...

The troglodyte!

[awesome picture]
The troglodyte!
Wooo epicness! :o
Bloody bone is a nice touch.
Out of curiosity, what do you use to draw?
EDIT: Also, what do you use to color?
-
well, I drew that with a black BIC pen, and scanned it into good ol' MS PAINT, wherein I set to black and white (to remove any smudges), and then coloured in it.
I do have photoshop, but I haven't quite figured out how to use it yet...
-
Holy wow, you colored it in MS Paint?
Also: you use the British spelling of colour. Are you British? ;D
I draw in photoshop exclusively right now, since my scanner broke and I haven't gotten around to getting a new one (damn things are expensive). Problem is my tablet is a bit wonky so things take me hours to get done.
-
While that is an awesome picture, how the feckdamn did it come from trying to make a monocle?
Yes, that is an awesome not-a-monocle.

That is a great depiction. Does the wiki really say they're not dangerous? God, I hate troglodytes. The Dwarf Heaven map is infested with them.
Here's a happy dwarf.
(http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/digitalwaylander/happydwarf.jpg)
Knowing dwarves, he's probably attending another fucking party.
-
He looks so... mirthful. He's enjoying himself with a barrel of beer and some friends. There's so much expression in there. It makes me smile.
:)
See? It made me smile! He may, of course, be pulling the End the World lever.
Also: since this is obviously no longer a fanart competition (besides, Balathustrius wins hands down if it is) shouldn't it be renamed to something like the Fan Art thread? Just wondering. ;D
-
whoa, balathastrius, nice work on the beard, it really flows
also, I spell it colour with a u because I'm from canada.
oh and, just to get this out there, it is my personal opinion that troglodytes are the bastard offspring of dwarves and goblins, banished to the pits to hide the shame of their existence.
-
In my imagination they(Troggs) are a sort of ghoulish, barely intelligent, lizard creature.... alike to a troll as a mule is like a warhorse.
That mirthfull dwarf looks like it is molded from clay, very nicely done.
You use the 'wetfinger drag' tool much?

I checked the raws, and as it turns out, Frog Demons ARE FRIGGIN' GIGANTIC. Let's just... um... assume that the demon has been modded to be size 32. Or something.

he only has one bracelet?
usually when I see them they're covered in dwarf leather decorations and elf bone piercings..

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.

That is quite good, esp the frog demon. Good sense of anatomy. I would say you have definite talent; keep drawing!

Really? Usually when I see them I'm all "OH GOD IT BURNS" (I've never seen one in fort mode).
Actually I think I had a demon in one of my worlds with only two kills to his name, one of which was a goblin. I'm assuming he's the one I drew. ;)

You deserve kind words, because you have given our eyes something nice to look at. :D
Also, that face study is incredible, especially that guy with the triple-segmented jaws and pipe into his head.
And: thanks. I need to work on actually getting a sense of lighting and perspective, though. :-\
-
Demons don't have decorations when they come out of the pit, as they are new to the world.
-
Holy crap! Amazing work with the face study.
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.

I still feel overjoyed everytime someone mentions how rage they get at Dwarf Heaven. I'm a bastard just for genning it.
-
I call it 'grass is never green' syndrome. If they spend a lot of time somewhere or with something, they will complain about whatever problems it has, just as much as they would a more serious problem somewhere else, even if in the presence of the latter such problems they would never complain about the former.

Urist McEverydwarf has been unhappy lately. He has "accidentally" killed a noble recently. He has lost a fort recently. He has endured a goblin siege lately. He has failed to sleep due to Dwarf Fortress recently. He has seen Elven King art recently. He has seen the Fan Art thread recently. He has seen masterful art recently. He has not seen new art from Vester recently. He has not seen new art from Balathustrius recently.
Urist McEverydwarf has made a new mandate.

This is an engraving of Cacame Awemedinade the Elf and Longshanks the Tower of Abbeys the Oak Tree. Cacame Awemedinade is spitting in the face of everything Elven. Longshanks the Tower of Abbeys is making a planitive gesture.

That's right. He's so badass he chops trees with a blunt weapon.

...
If there was a long-running DF webcomic, King Awemedinade would definitely either have to be a main character or an oft-recurring gag character.

Wow! Lots of awesome art since my last post! :D
Vester, Fault, Balathustrius: you rule!
As for making a comic, it sounds like an epic idea, I'd be glad to help!
Maybe some colouring? It seems like an open niche and I'm quite good at it. I do not want any long term obligations however, but standalone jobs I am glad to help with as long as there are no deadlines what so ever.

Wow, those ¤images¤ are brilliant, made of pure win! :D
-
Bleargh that's amazing.
I like the adamantine plate. It never occurred to me that it was such a pleasing colour.
-
The dwarves look like twins. Amazing art by the way.
-
I drew this a couple of days ago.. it's kinda similar to mordae's first drawing.
I imagine his armour being a red colour, but I don't think there's an armour metal that is red..
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/dwarfen.jpg)
-
Bronze is a reddish metal.
-
I thought so, but it's more yellowy in Dwarf fortress.
-
Maybe it's copper. Although that wouldn't make for very good armor.
...
Super-bronze?
-
Well, I did mod in a red metal called orichalcum (made of copper, gold and flux)
so I guess he's wearing that.
(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)

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.
-
Or, more probably, it was as real as Atlantis...
-
that's why I said fictional.
-
I wasn't replying to you.
-
oh well I didn't mean any offense by my comment
-
Orichalcum is mentioned outside the texts of Atlantis, and unlike Atlantis is not mentioned almost entirely by plato, odds are it did exist and was probably a Copper-Gold alloy, similar alloys have cropped up in Asia and the Latin Americas, so it's not unlikely.
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.

When dealing with history (especially ancient history), nothing is certain.

Nothing is a word too strong. Certainly there was a Roman Empire, who certainly was a republic once. Even a more obscure one, like the Assirian Empire, certainly existed...

Is that a nude elf woman? I thought he hated elves.

i do't really know, it was just supposed to be a parody of that frazetta painting of conan the barbarian.
And, you know, he was once married to an elf., so he doesn't hate all elves.
Maybe she's some elf he converted to the dwarven way.
-

That's what makes it even worse for his little pet elf.

The elf is prostrating itself before the Cacame Awemedinade. Cacame Awemedinade is striking a menacing pose.
It could refer to some specific military victory over some elves, but I'm guessing the king is just so badass that he is portrayed as constantly having women crawling at his feet.

I was thinking more along the lines of wearing their beards and hair so long they can tie it around themselves like a thong.
And then they jump off 1z cliffs to attack orcs and gobbos.
The only thing scarier than them is a nude dwarf with a fneking huge axe.
Which reminds me, not really DF, but a while ago I drew a picture of some crazy armoured girl chopping something to bits with a chainsword. There was blood and gore. I wish I could find it.

Mine had more blood and gore.
But that's a given when you're working with chainswords.
Also, no face armour.
Which is good for portraying psychopathic glee.

Knowing dwarves, he's probably attending another fucking party.
Your grasp of light and shadow is photorealistic. That actually rather looks like a photograph of a finely detailed sculpture.
Most art critics will whine about seeing a floating head, though. I used to know the reason, but perhaps just because they think it's cliché. Oh well... it's awesome, really.
-
That's sort of dumb, the critics should look at the work, and not at the absence of work! It'd be like grading someone on something they never even tried to accomplish.
-
I have had art instructors who have subscribed to the train of thought that you present as being absurd. I agree it is absurd, but apparently you can obtain teaching credentials in art even if you don't.
Of course, this instructor was merely a substitute who we had to put up with for a few months because the regular instructor was force-fed the steering column of his Mustang (he lived, but that was one hell of a hospital stay).

I don't understand Muon, "Present as being absurd"?

There's lots of great stuff in this thread, lately. I think I remember Toady saying in a past podcast that he has a folder for the DF fanart he sees; it must be getting pretty big by now. :P
Here are some sketches of dwarves, including... female dwarves! I think this is the first time I've ever drawn a dwarf girl.

I'll see your abstract and raise you one crypticly confusing engraved scene of a Dwarven Warlock, Elves, Dwarves, Goblins, Corpses, Magma, a Throne, and a Fortress.
The Dwarven Warlock is accending to the Throne, Magma is coming from fountainheads on the Throne, the writhing Corpses surround the Dwarven Warlock, the Dwarves are fighting the Goblins, the Elves are eating the Corpses, the Fortress is The Shades of Destruction. This Engraving is depicting the rise of the dark lord Urist the Malevolentmagics in 351AG.

...Way ahead of ya. Didn't start thread yet though.
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.
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.
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.

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.
The character limit is 40,000 per post right?

Here's a pen sketch of a goblin swordsman.
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/goblinlineart.jpg)
I know they usually wear full plate, but I like the way he looks without it.
-
Wooo!
Gobbos are win.
Honestly though, he looks disgruntled.
-
his face is based on a graphics tileset I made. the tiles were 10x12, so I didn't have enough room to make anything besides a circular face with angry eyebrows and pointy ears.
this is the graphic used for goblins:

honestly, i always invisioned planepacked as some sort of insane massive monolith-style giant rectangle. each image on it going around from the base up in rings. with the very top of it on the horizontal 'roof' of the thing having one really big picture of it, as seen from a dramatic angle

Archibess the Hammerer, from Nist Akath.

I saw her as younger and naive, as compared to that psycho Toralnil, so I gave her a ponytail to... er... youngify her.
-
Yes! Beardless cute dwarf girls ftw!
-
huh. I've never read nist akath all the way through..
I probably should now.
-
Neither've I, for that matter (I've read bits and pieces here and there). Does seem like something to set aside a lot of time for, though, from the looks of it. ;D

I saw this on my nobles screen and thought "oh, I can do that." Then I looked closer.
-
I never read Nist Akath all the way through because it was too damn long.
If somebody put it in an easy to read format (like Boatmurdered in the LP Archives), I could probably read it.
-
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...)
-
I know, I was just stating that if Nist Akath were put into a more readable format, I'd be able to read it.
As it is (in the forums), I have trouble reading through it.

Here's my favourite HFS, the spirit of fire.
For some reason all of my sucessful forts have encountered SOF's at some point.
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/SOF.png)
-
Oh wow. Now that's imposing. Well done!
-
thanks, jackrabbit. I've heard some people see SOF's as more of a balrog-esque big manly bastard, but from the way that act towards my dwarfs in terms of ambushing, I've always pictured them as wispy and sneaky looking.
Has anyone else had the main boss Demon burn to death cause he stood too close to an SOF? I thought they were fireimmune, but apparently SOF's burn hot enough to hurt them...
-
Love the Spirit of Fire! I imagine them as more balrog-like, personally, but a person made of fire might be more in line with what they actually are in the game.
Anyway, I drew another dwarf.
(http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs29/f/2009/238/f/8/Martial_Trance_by_Hagrimm.jpg)
-
Your dwarf has the power of rage and blood.
-
Not to be rude, but it looks more like a chubby-cheeked human than a dwarf.
-
I thought it was a (tall) ladydwarf.
That menaces with spikes of blood.
And things.
-
A tall dwarf?
-
I don't think the height difference between humans and dwarves is THAT drastic, and without the waist-long beards, you COULD mistake them for humans.
But yeah, that's maybe a bit too tall. I'm not all that satisfied with how the legs turned out. Oh, well.

Queen ;D

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.

It has horns.
-
it's a frog demon.
[*woah picture*]
It has horns.
Yeah, I always figured Frog Demons were more like Hezrous, and Demons were Balors.
-
at first I sort of pictured them looking like the frog monsters from hellboy (image link below),
http://www.sjgames.com/miniatures/hellboy/villains/img/frog1.lg.jpg (http://www.sjgames.com/miniatures/hellboy/villains/img/frog1.lg.jpg)
but I decided that that image is more suitable for the frogmen from the underground river. I thought the frog demons should be more easily recognizeable as demonic. So I stuck horns on them (it says somewhere on the wiki that they have horns)

He looks kinda like Yoda. Only in a fantasy setting instead of science fiction.
-
Well, Yoda looks a lot like most goblins, to varying degrees.
The short stature, ears, and wide head are all established goblin tropes.
... and it's well established that certain areas of George Lucas' imagination were, to be kind, inspired heavily by traditional fantasy settings.

This thread (http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=41039.msg729139#msg729139) gave me an idea to do a series of mini-comics based on DF physics. I just need a couple more ideas. Here's lesson 1 at least.

1. Fortification
2. Fortification + boulder in the way
3. Full water pressure
4. *POP*
Notice the fortification and the boulder both remain the same scale, despite extraction method.
-
it adds an element of danger when the water pressure squeezes olmmen and frogmen through the fortification.

Eughgh. looks like he got hit by a shovel.
Nice details, though.

Hello there, first time posting here.. I've been watching you all for quite some time though ;D
I've decided to let my first post be in this thread.
Here is a picture I've made in paint. I call it:
Urist McChampion, Champion cancels Spar: Drowning.
(http://www.roflsaurus.com/users/Nenghis/UristMcchampion.png)
-
The best part is, he looks like he won't do anything to save himself. :D
-
(http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/yy244/TheDJ17/DFHammer.jpg)
I always thought of the DF hammers as giant baseball bats due to their goblin flinging potential.
-
That's an interesting take on it, but that would qualify more as a type of mace, I think. Then again, I'm not an expert on the precise definition differences between bludgeoning weapons.
-
I thought of Maces as the ultra low polygon Rune Scape ones with the really sharp points but I see how you could think that.
-
The critical thing is the center of gravity, and how it is swung. You can hit someone with any side of the end of a mace. Also, the center a gravity is a little closer to you down the shaft. A hammer has a front and back as well as a top and bottom, and no weighting down the shaft.
In other words, you have yourself a mace.
-
Unless he bends physics to make it meet the criteria of a hammer. Which DF may very well do at some point. Look at how much it bends already.
-
DF is the laws of physics!!! :P
The best part is, he looks like he won't do anything to save himself. :D
Hehe yeah ;D might try and create another thing in paint again, perhaps something that has happened in my fortress.
-

Do you mind if I sig that, I just love how well it sums up Dwarf Fortress ;D

Gah!
He's staring at me! STOP STARING.
Nice job. It's the little details that make an awesome piece of work - I especially like how he has poor teeth. I assume demon overlords don't have dental.

Yeah, I thought they were balls of tentacles. But they have the standard head, legs, and arms. The tentacles are probably attached somewhere else.
(I think of Demons - the megabeast type one - as Balor-like, but I can't help but draw half naked buff ones. Ah well.)
-
I didn't know you had a thing for naked demons Vester. ::)
-
It's to practice my anatomical drawing, I swear. :D
-
I have always pictured most of the demons as being human-like in appearance, especially the ones that are typically displayed in Legends mode. I guess I just have a boring imagination.
-
I guess if you want to consider humanoid tentacle demons, you can always watch Men in Black II.
The main villain is a tentacle demon that takes a human form.
-
if you look at the raws, it says that all HFS creatures are humanoid.
Come to think of it, so is every other creature in the CREATURE_STANDARD text.

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...

My third HFS picture:
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/HFS.jpg)
Is my take on the end-boss leader demons. specifically the ones who emerge from the pits, who, unlike historical demons, do not have any of the human leather charms or goblin bone bracelets.
-
There's buff, there's ripped, and there's flayed.
That's flayed right there.
Size 16 for the win.
Also: Balathustrius somehow made a magma river convey feelings of warmth and home, as opposed to !!DEATH!!. I suppose that's how dwarves see 'em.
-
That's flayed right there.
You mean he looks like he has no skin?
He was meant to look wiry... but whatever, it's creepy, it works.

My bodybuilder friend says 'flayed' just means supremely buff, with tight skin and rips - although a skinless monstrosity would be pretty cool.

My rendition of a fire imp. He's a lot less dangerous than he thinks he is.
-
Hah that's beautiful.
He looks so malevolent.
And harmless.
-
In bodybuilding terms "Flayed" means that your muscles are so gigantic that they're almost bursting out of your skin, somone who is really Flayed actually looks like their skin has in fact been flayed off them, you can see the cords in their muscles and everything, it literally looks like they have no skin. I met a guy like that once and i've been trying to unsee it ever since.

If someone wonders why I haven't been posting here, it's because I am so utterly awed by everything here that writing an reply that did justice to it all would take hours, and I keep postponing that indefinitely, so I might as well admit I'll ever do it. So, everyone who have posted an image here, pretend this post is a giant wall of text appearing tailored pontifically to boost your ego beyond all return, and overdoing it.

That fire imp is good. I can just imagine the look on his face as he's thrown to the floor by a recruit and strangled.

Hmm, yes, tentacle demons do apparently have normal humanoid bodies in addition to the tentacles. I had always imagined something along the lines of the Chaos Elemental in Runescape (a sortof blob with a lot of tentacles).
Now I should stop imagining what they could look like. Immediately.

wasnt the thing from 'Species' a tentacle alien?
I always imagined them as hentai fiends, tentacles mirv-ing from every appendage, squirming, ready to rape any who stray in LOS.

-
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...
-
...salliciously falloid...
I think you mean "salaciously phallic"
P.S. Firefox and Safari both have built-in spell-checkers. Opera and Chrome probably have them too.
-
that's a nice fire imp, sindayven.
here's my interpretation:
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/Frimp.jpg)
From the raw files, I kinda picture them as small, yellow-skinned goblins, and since they can swim through magma, I gave them a sort of streamlined fish-like sillouette.
NOTE: the raw files don't say how many fingers and toes they have!

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.

with all the talk about demons, I decided to finish my series of HFS drawings.
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/finalversion.jpg)
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.
terminating in elves
I read that as "trying to scare dwarves by waving around tentacles with elves on them"
-
Yeah, looks about right. In game, however, they only have Combat Tentacles (not linking directly to tvtropes to avoid that meme). They only really become dangerous when you give them the grasp tag and they start stealing weapons and breaking arms.
-
adding grasp also allows them to steal clothes. a while ago there was a BIG thread on ways to make tentacle demons worse.
(WHY DO I KNOW THIS?)
-
I'm pretty sure that if tentacle demons manage to get even one article of clothing, they will proceed to bash everything to death with it.
I'm going to add [GRASP] to those tentacles now. They need to be harder to deal with. ;D
(Also, nice Tentacle Demon. Whenever I imagine them I think of Venom)
-
they proceed to bash everything to death with it.
yeah sure, that's why they steal clothing.
thanks for the comments, although I do think the perspective in my image is a bit wonky, and his right arm just looks out of place. he also doesn't appear to have a pelvis.
-
He has a tentaclevis.
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...

It didn't look out of place, it looked like a gigantic penis.

The following exchange was better. :D

Apparantly he flies through sheer force of will.

That's actually so much cooler.
(Somewhere in the wiki it says that you also need bodyparts with the [FLIER] tag to be able to fly, like wings. So either the wiki is very very wrong, or the Demon leader has the [FLIER] tag attached to his brain.]
-
Wiki is wrong, the Demon has no body part with the [FLIER] tag. He is borne aloft by the winds of his furious rage.
-
So you're saying that Demons are, essentially, superheroes.
-
Pretty much.
Perhaps they're just so evil and terrifying that the Earth itself runs away from them, thus giving them the illusion of flight.
-
The picture was good.
The following exchange was better. :D
Oh, sure, you get to say that. I didn't show up at 4 AM my time so I didn't even get to see it. :P
-
Just... wow. This thread rocks.
-
HAHA
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.
-
I must've been tired, because I looked at the original picture of Fault's demon without seeing anything amiss.
-
you kinda need a dirty mind to see it
but there WAS something wrong with his arm. The postition it was in was anatomically impossible.
-
Wait, we're talking about anatomical possibilities on a creature with quite a lot of clawed tentacles emerging from his pelvis? Eh. I probably became immune to that kind of thinking after reading the tvtropes articles on the subject (Combat Tentacles in particular, heh).
By the way, what's that thing on his head? Is it a tentacle horn?
-
it's just like a little pair of goat horns, I figured that all the demons have them ('cept the SOF, being made of fire and all). The addition of horns could be the only thing that diffrentiates frog demons from frog men (besides size).
-
Oh man I haven't doodled in ages...

Fault, Jackrabbit, Vester, Captain Mayday, thanks! I'm jazzed to be on the Captain's desktop... that reminds me how I've been meaning to go read Nist Akath again.
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.

nice dwarves, mike. I like the style. and they have arms this time!
oh and balathastrius, I draw those with a pen and then scan them in to MS paint, where i make them B/W outlines and then colour them in using the paintbrush or eraser tools.
I have a wacom tablet and photoshop, but I haven't figured out how to use them yet >:(

I could compare the effect of Bala's last image to that of a picture of a sleeping kitten.

Yeah, I thought that those didn't look like ps. You're using Paint and a mouse?? Damn, that makes my wrists hurt just thinking about it.
What sorts of problems are you having with the tablet and Photoshop? Maybe I can help?

I think DF is turning us into dwarves. Humans shouldn't find lava soothing!

I know how to use the tablet, that was a joke
It's not that I can't figure out how to use photoshop, its that I'm too lazy to try. I'll get to it EVENTUALLY

Oh, I thought you meant like technical problems. I've had some quirks with my tablet. :)
-
My tablet has a 3x4 inch interface.
That's what I get for being a cheapskate.
-
Damn, this thread sure is moving fast these days.
I really like the artwork posted thus far, and I'm glad some have enjoyed mine.
I hope that someday I can be as good as some of you artists.
-
Another quick check of the RAWs reveals that while gotes have horns, Demons of all kinds do not.
In fact, the leader Demon is identical to a human in body form, except that he levitates through sheer force of malevolant will.
-
Don't forget that he wears the bones of his fallen enemies. So he's practically naked except for an assortment of bracelets.
-
What about bone armor? and bone helmets? and bone boots?
-
Maybe bone armor, but a bone helmet would have to be fashioned out of a single smooth piece of bone. So maybe if a Demon killed a Dragon in single combat, he might get a helm.
-
And bone gloves? and bone necklaces? Bone pants? Bone leggings? BONE SOCKS?
-
A bone skirt! Bone sunglasses! Bone shoulderpads! :P
-
Bone rings! Bone Earrings! Bone Vests! Bone Teeth!
-
I believe they also wear the leather of sentient races, and also sometimes they wear spider silk.
Egngun has a nice pair of cave spider silk gloves. Quite manly.
-
Bone horns! Bone skull! Bone bones!
-

A very gay face off, considering it started with a bite.
Anyway, i really want to draw a tentacle demon but the fact they actually have legs and arms and not just tentacles make it all less awesome. I'll just stick to drawing a dwarf when i get a chance.

Oddly, SoFs seem to think they can't fly, since they refuse to cross channels, at least with me.
-
The pathing for flying and swimming critters is a bit haxy; they'll try and path to a location via the ground, if they can't do so, then they assume that it's impossible to get there and don't bother doing the flying pathing check, this leads to (among other things) floor hatches stopping any and all clowns in their tracks, and impassable channels.
Sometimes though they wise up and remember they can fly, then all hell breaks loose.

SOF's don't fly if there's a roof over them.. they will never cross your underground channels. but if they get outdoors, they flit about all over the place.

somethin's wrong with you, hunger
-
I'm being realistic, that elf has way to little blood and or chunks on him to have actually ripped that head off... just adding say bloodied sleeves, and a lateral splash across his chest would do the trick...
I have problems, and they are very appearent...
-
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.

He seems to be missing a master sword... And a little blue fairy.

Probably, just the fact that you can colour on a layer beneath the lines is a huge help in speeding things up.
The "Humen -> HFS" one is hilariously awesome.
-
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.
-
Fault, if you got skype, I'll gladly spend an hour to teach you all the tricks. With a tablet and PS you'd be churning out fantasting art in no time.
-
If I remember correctly, a mastersword through the chest gives you just enough time to make a dramatic final speech before falling to the ground. Although in this game, you'd just get up again, make another dramatic speech, and then fall once more. And so on.
-
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.
-
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).
-
Ah, organic systems...
*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 stand completely corrected, sorry guys

Woo! I'm coloring now!

great work on the wings and body, really shiny.
If I could give one suggestion, it'd be to have the middle eye higher than the right and left eyes instead of lower. It kinda looks like a big red clown nose.

i never saw it that way, maybe because i haven't played marathon in ages and thought it was awesome. the angel doesn't look out of place to me either, the middle eye doesn't bulge enough to look like a nose.

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 too bad they can only use it up close, though. I wonder what Legends will look like if I change the damage type to [COLD].

All the talk of demons propelling themselves through the air by manifest will inspired an image which I will share with you, but with words for I'm bad with a pen.
Sound and smell took over Lokum's senses. His eyes stung as he stumbled through the hallway to the Grand Stair, but he could only process the stench of the vile, choking smoke and the screaming of his fellow clansdwarves as they lost themselves to the flames.
The flames. Mere minutes ago, everything had been going according to routine. Lokum's breakfast had been suddenly cut short by a deep, reverberating wailing that boiled up from the Grand Stair. The horrible cries of Lokum's friends and relatives followed shortly thereafter, accompanying the thick, stinking and rancid smoke. The smoke brought painful tears to his eyes, blinding him.
Lokum took the corner too fast, and tripped in his haste, spilling his bucket of water over the tiled floor as he fell into the Great Hall. Lokum brought himself up by his arms, breathing the somewhat cleaner air made possible by the much higher ceilings. He reached for the bucket's handle, there might still be time to go back and get more water, after all. His hand stopped halfway, though. The water he'd spilled was mingling slowly with a slurry of black and red, steaming as it pooled in the gaps among the tiles. Puzzled, he twisted to look back to the object that had tripped him.
Lokum was unprepared to see the twisted and tortured remains of what must have been another dwarf, all black except for the thick blood oozing from the cracks in the char. Affording himself a moment, he looked around the Hall. Remains, each one burnt so as to be barely recognizable as having once been dwarves littered the floor. Blood trailed from where each body lay back to the top of the Grand Stair, as though the dwarves had run screaming while on fire and hemorrhaging badly up from the stair into this room. The shields, swords, and axeheads scattered among the bodies told Lokum that these had been the Fortress Guard who boasted to be equipped to deal with any problem.
Then, a small squad of guards rushed up the stairs, their leader calling to hold fast at the summit. Rallying, the armed and armored warriors took up positions encircling the top of the stairs. There, they waited and Lokum watched.
The smoke roiled, the ground steamed – moisture from the blood staining the mosaicked tiles rising silently into the air. The Hall was dim and choked with foul fumes. And, it was getting brighter. And hotter.
The warriors, their seemingly unshakable courage pressed by some otherworldly fear, slowly backed away from the edge of the stair. Lokum crawled back to the wall as he saw tendrils of flame begin to creep their way over the banister, meandering, dividing and coming together, scouting the floor of the Hall as they spread out from the stairs. The warriors seemed not to notice, their attention fixed on the source of the fire as it ascended into the room.
First, a head, huge by any reasonable standard, its flaking, char-black skin pulled tight over its features – bearing a hate-filled expression of unquenchable wrath, but with eyes shut. The chest and arms became visible above the heads of the warriors, the arms seemed to be tightly wrapped in an embrace around itself, as though shielding the creature from the cold. Lokum's strained mind finally realized why this thing seemed so wrong. It mounted the stairs, but not with any gait; rather, it smoothly and evenly rose into the room. Without wings, it seemed like the monster just willed itself aloft, and the floor, as though unwilling to bear the touch of a being such as this one, rejected its feet.
The being had fully emerged from the stair, floating silently several feet from the floor. The heat radiating from its body warped Lokum's view of the tapestries on the far side of the hall. All was quiet as it opened its eyes. Lokum froze in abject terror as he saw the eyes, like slits scored into the thing's face, revealing a hellish inferno within. Fire reached out through those eyes, promising a painful death. And, Lokum knew it was looking at him.
With a sharp order, the leader of the warriors spurred his stunned soldiers into action. However, at that moment, three of the unfortunate dwarves realized that the flame tendrils, that seemed to writhe away from the spot on the floor under the monster, had reached their feet. Even as the rest of the squad leapt to the attack, those three dwarves died. Fire raged from their feet up through their armor and fused the metal of their armor to skin that would know only the agony of burning before knowing no further sensation.
Lokum watched the rest of the squad charge, weapons held high, but hope had died in his beard the moment he watched the creature's eyes settle on him. The forerunners of the attack died the fastest. As their weapons fell and bit into the skin of the demon, they released jets of that inner inferno, blasting them with red, angry hellfire. The thing released its arms, floating slowly, almost casually towards Lokum. The other dwarves, realizing it was ignoring them once again leapt to the attack. Before they could bring any harm to the demon, though, fire guttered through their armor, melting metal and flesh into a solid, blackened mess, all.
The tendrils of flame followed the floor under the creature as it approached, testing the ground, tasting for victims. Each runner of fire lingered briefly over a fallen dwarf, as though savoring in their demises. The thing's approach consumed Lokum's total awareness and he knew that he was going to die.
Within moments, the black-skinned monster loomed over the fear-stricken Lokum. Its tendrils of fire snapped toward him, singing his leg, as though tasting his flesh. Then, it spoke. Its mouth yawning open revealing glimpses of the raging interior of the body.
“I am damaged. You will be my new flesh.”
The creature reached with its hands to one of the ragged openings cut by a dwarf's sword and wrenched the wound open. Fire washed out in a twisting pillar and scorched Lokum's body black as he died. The braided snake of fire tore through what were Lokum's eyes, nose and mouth, searing the skin and filling the corpse.
The dwarf's blackened body rose from the ground, growing in size even as the previous shell fell into ash. Tendrils of new, red flame snaked out from the ground under him. Turning its new head, the new shell floated to the doorway through which the ill-fated Lokum had initially stumbled and the spirit of fire passed through the arch to continue its hunt and slaughter. In its wake, a bucket burned, boiling a slurry of ash and blood – and water, mistakenly spilled.
If someone more talented than myself wants to depict an image of a spirit of fire nonchalantly torching some military dwarves as it fixes a stare somewhere else and floats above the ground, then I shall surely admire it.

The warriors seemed not to notice, their attention fixed on the source of the fire as it ascended into the room.
First, a head, huge by any reasonable standard, its flaking, char-black skin pulled tight over its features – bearing a hate-filled expression of unquenchable wrath, but with eyes shut. The chest and arms became visible above the heads of the warriors, the arms seemed to be tightly wrapped in an embrace around itself, as though shielding the creature from the cold. Lokum's strained mind finally realized why this thing seemed so wrong. It mounted the stairs, but not with any gait; rather, it smoothly and evenly rose into the room. Without wings, it seemed like the monster just willed itself aloft, and the floor, as though unwilling to bear the touch of a being such as this one, rejected its feet.
The being had fully emerged from the stair, floating silently several feet from the floor. The heat radiating from its body warped Lokum's view of the tapestries on the far side of the hall. All was quiet as it opened its eyes. Lokum froze in abject terror as he saw the eyes, like slits scored into the thing's face, revealing a hellish inferno within. Fire reached out through those eyes, promising a painful death. And, Lokum knew it was looking at him.
With a sharp order, the leader of the warriors spurred his stunned soldiers into action. However, at that moment, three of the unfortunate dwarves realized that the flame tendrils, that seemed to writhe away from the spot on the floor under the monster, had reached their feet. Even as the rest of the squad leapt to the attack, those three dwarves died. Fire raged from their feet up through their armor and fused the metal of their armor to skin that would know only the agony of burning before knowing no further sensation.
Lokum watched the rest of the squad charge, weapons held high, but hope had died in his beard the moment he watched the creature's eyes settle on him. The forerunners of the attack died the fastest. As their weapons fell and bit into the skin of the demon, they released jets of that inner inferno, blasting them with red, angry hellfire. The thing released its arms, floating slowly, almost casually towards Lokum. The other dwarves, realizing it was ignoring them once again leapt to the attack. Before they could bring any harm to the demon, though, fire guttered through their armor, melting metal and flesh into a solid, blackened mess, all.
The tendrils of flame followed the floor under the creature as it approached, testing the ground, tasting for victims. Each runner of fire lingered briefly over a fallen dwarf, as though savoring in their demises. The thing's approach consumed Lokum's total awareness and he knew that he was going to die.
Within moments, the black-skinned monster loomed over the fear-stricken Lokum. Its tendrils of fire snapped toward him, singing his leg, as though tasting his flesh. Then, it spoke. Its mouth yawning open revealing glimpses of the raging interior of the body.
“I am damaged. You will be my new flesh.”
The creature reached with its hands to one of the ragged openings cut by a dwarf's sword and wrenched the wound open. Fire washed out in a twisting pillar and scorched Lokum's body black as he died. The braided snake of fire tore through what were Lokum's eyes, nose and mouth, searing the skin and filling the corpse.
The dwarf's blackened body rose from the ground, growing in size even as the previous shell fell into ash. Tendrils of new, red flame snaked out from the ground under him. Turning its new head, the new shell floated to the doorway through which the ill-fated Lokum had initially stumbled and the spirit of fire passed through the arch to continue its hunt and slaughter. In its wake, a bucket burned, boiling a slurry of ash and blood – and water, mistakenly spilled.
If someone more talented than myself wants to depict an image of a spirit of fire nonchalantly torching some military dwarves as it fixes a stare somewhere else and floats above the ground, then I shall surely admire it.
well... i hadn't intended on sleeping anyway...

Woo!
Okay, Supa rocks hard.

oh god
are those GHOST CARP?

All the talk of demons propelling themselves through the air by manifest will inspired an image which I will share with you, but with words for I'm bad with a pen.
Sound and smell took over Lokum's senses. His eyes stung as he stumbled through the hallway to the Grand Stair, but he could only process the stench of the vile, choking smoke and the screaming of his fellow clansdwarves as they lost themselves to the flames.
The flames. Mere minutes ago, everything had been going according to routine. Lokum's breakfast had been suddenly cut short by a deep, reverberating wailing that boiled up from the Grand Stair. The horrible cries of Lokum's friends and relatives followed shortly thereafter, accompanying the thick, stinking and rancid smoke. The smoke brought painful tears to his eyes, blinding him.
Lokum took the corner too fast, and tripped in his haste, spilling his bucket of water over the tiled floor as he fell into the Great Hall. Lokum brought himself up by his arms, breathing the somewhat cleaner air made possible by the much higher ceilings. He reached for the bucket's handle, there might still be time to go back and get more water, after all. His hand stopped halfway, though. The water he'd spilled was mingling slowly with a slurry of black and red, steaming as it pooled in the gaps among the tiles. Puzzled, he twisted to look back to the object that had tripped him.
Lokum was unprepared to see the twisted and tortured remains of what must have been another dwarf, all black except for the thick blood oozing from the cracks in the char. Affording himself a moment, he looked around the Hall. Remains, each one burnt so as to be barely recognizable as having once been dwarves littered the floor. Blood trailed from where each body lay back to the top of the Grand Stair, as though the dwarves had run screaming while on fire and hemorrhaging badly up from the stair into this room. The shields, swords, and axeheads scattered among the bodies told Lokum that these had been the Fortress Guard who boasted to be equipped to deal with any problem.
Then, a small squad of guards rushed up the stairs, their leader calling to hold fast at the summit. Rallying, the armed and armored warriors took up positions encircling the top of the stairs. There, they waited and Lokum watched.
The smoke roiled, the ground steamed – moisture from the blood staining the mosaicked tiles rising silently into the air. The Hall was dim and choked with foul fumes. And, it was getting brighter. And hotter.
The warriors, their seemingly unshakable courage pressed by some otherworldly fear, slowly backed away from the edge of the stair. Lokum crawled back to the wall as he saw tendrils of flame begin to creep their way over the banister, meandering, dividing and coming together, scouting the floor of the Hall as they spread out from the stairs.

Beyond Quality... That is a fantastic take on SOF.
-
damn, that's good. I like how the Lokum uses "beard" in places where a human would say "heart".
-
Great great story :o
And actually, "lokum" is danish slang for a toilet :D
-
I decided that, for some insane reason, to undertake Armok's absurd request. Just give me a few minutes and I should have something up.
-
I too have done a few drafts of Armok's insane drawing request, But I don't think I'll be able to do it justice without acrylic paint or photoshop or something, so it might be a while before I post it.
-
"to the southeast lie the Spikes of Hatred. We don't go there anymore."
The speaker leans forward and whispers:
"It is a place of great evil... for there dwell the dark gnomes."
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/darkgnome.jpg)
Hmm? It's a great drawing but it just doesn't look right.
It's teeth makes it look too carnivorous though dark gnomes don't have any carnivore tokens and they have five fingers and toes.
I alway pictured them just to be evil little mountain gnomes.
I like how you colored it dark cyan like their tile though.
-
Done. Took me longer than i thought, but I'm very proud of it. I also made a few creative change, but other than that it the same.

Let me live in the dream baby, let me live in the dream...
-
I'd admit, I did not draw that. So why did I put that up, you ask? Simple. Because Armok's demand is asinine. That is the closest think he'd probably get.
At least, without someone going insane.
-
Wellll, fault is gonna try.
-
This is as close as I can get.
I kinda fumbled a bit with the background.
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/godfightcoloured2.jpg)
I used pens, then coloured it in PAINT, then blended the colours in photoshop Elements.
-
Woo!
See, fault did it!
(I'm gonna try at some later date.)
-
I'm thinking of just doing some character studies of the two gods there, to really do justice to their MAGESTEY. my image right now just looks a bit too cartoony. But, what can you expect, I mean Armok's was a pretty hefty request.
-
What in gods name is that? Jesus christ i nearly shat myself when that loaded.
-
What is that request you speak of?
-
Armok must be requesting awesome?
-
No, he was requesting stupid. But by combating stupid with the stupidness of actually doing it, awesomeness was created.
-
What is that request you speak of?
A request made on multiple art threads in Creative Projects.
-
I don't know if stupid is the word. Excessive, maybe?

That is not a very specific answer (http://mayday.w.staszic.waw.pl/gobticons/meh.gif)
-
Here's the request from another thread, though he spammed it in pretty much all the creative threads that were even hinting at doing requests:
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.

holy crap Mike Mayday makes goblin emoticons.
Mike... can I call you mike? Um... When will you have the 64x64 tileset ready?

hahaha, Fault, I like how you drew the "leading heart" part (http://mayday.w.staszic.waw.pl/gobticons/razz.gif) Thanks for the answer, Davion!

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).
-
Fist up, the images here are amazing, some evan beyond quality, even if I'm to lazy to write abaut them.
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.
-
you are very right, Armok. The background has many flaws and is all too simplistic ('cept for the ruins, I'm proud of those). creatures interacting dynamically with their surroundings are not one of my strong points. Both the suns and the glowing god creature should cast light around them, and the brightest part of the sky should be by the suns, not above it.
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.

I coloured it.

I figure it's about time I made some fanart.
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.

DWAOH
that.. uh.. really jumps out at ya. He looks like he's either really pissed, or having some sort of stroke.

No, but seriously, I love it.

I want to see some more renditions of The Request.
I'm working on one of my own, actually. Fault's version inspired me.
We'll see how it turns out. WIP sometime today, maybe...

Armok, did you come up with this description or did you find it somewhere?
-
damn spreggo, that is one NICE dwarf.
even if he does look a little communist.
Well done.
-
Yeh'd THINK dwarves would look a little communist. :/
-
damn spreggo, that is one NICE dwarf.
even if he does look a little communist.
Well done.
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.

My room mate said that too. I tried to imagine what a floppy pigtail cap looked like, but I think I'll have to use some actual references next time.
Making it blood red only compounds the "GREAT LEAPING CRAP! IT WANTS OUR BLOOD," problem.

Yeah, Spreggo, that's awesome!

While Udib Vabokgatin is as excited as the next dwarf about the discovery of Adamantine in the depths, he can't shake the feeling that something bad is going to happen.
(http://fc04.deviantart.com/fs46/f/2009/252/3/8/Tentacle_Demon_by_Hagrimm.jpg)
I momentarily considered adding a big evil grin on its face, but I think it looks creepier without a proper expression. The dwarf looks absolutely tiny, but that's partly because the demon is huge.

Great, except the legs look a bit off. Something wonky with the perspective, I think.

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.
-
I wonder if most people picture dwarves as naturally flat footed?

That demon is also anatomically correct, with clawed limbs attached to the upper body. Kudos.

SPREGGO:
nice marksdwarf, although the nose is a bit big, and over all its a bit simplistic.
SOADREQM:
nice use of perspective to draw the eye to the different elements of the image. I guess that's how demons stay hidden until they encounter a dwarf?
-
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...
-
this is a comic I posted in a thread about plump helmets.
It kind of relates to dwarves either being really mellow or really pissed off.

Kobolds are cuddly, and goblins don't have freakish legs...

aren't DF goblins supposed to be really generic?
I don't think they're supposed to have hooves.
nice mask though.

There is something deeply unsettling about a goblin wearing a SMILING mask. He looks so excited.
-
Kobolds are cuddly, and goblins don't have freakish legs...
Took a look at the raws. You're right, goblins have five toes and five fingers on each hand. As for kobolds though, they've got three toes and five fingers. I'm calling it a kobold thief, so just ignore the lack of extra fingers and let's call it a day. Don't know where you're getting that kobolds are "cuddly," though...
-
The cuddly kobolds come from Gobbo, and have been adopted by 4chan, spreading across the Internet like a Mongol horde.
For visual reference, you can scour through the Kobold Camp thread (http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=27088.0), or just see Gobbo's latest posts (http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=15346;sa=showPosts).

As far as I'm concerned, they're harmless, semi-retarded lizards just trying to survive in a world where everything is trying to kill them.
Also: Jreengus.

Technically just /tg/, I suppose.
-
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.

WoW ruined kobolds for you! I am angered.

Bah. Can't for the life of me find a scanner that works.
Anyway, here's a crappy blurry WIP that I took with my laptop's built-in webcam.
(http://i29.tinypic.com/10idmdg.jpg)
The light source is the being of light, obviously. He's not done yet.
And you can't really see all the details, but whatever. You get the idea.
Two mouths down, 9998 to go. I'll scan it for real when it's done.
...oh, and I'm pretty sure Vester mentioned doing this request too. I want to see that.

badass.
Seriously badass.

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 ;)
And to quote one: "YOU NO TAKE CANDLE!"
-
WoW ruined kobolds for you! I am angered.
Not really. I never liked the DnD lizard kobolds anyway. The WoW depiction of them as vermin-like fits with DF more.
I think Ill draw a kobold and post it later...
-
I like the idea of the cutebolds.
It seems appropriate for them to be so pathetic, and it's likewise appropriate for dwarves to mercilessly slaughter fuzzy animals for their bones.
-
Soadreqm: Gah! Those links cost me hours!
On the other hand, they taught me my place on the great wheel of rule 24... those gobs and bolds... so cute... so hawt...
Ironghand: 0_0 That's... Amazing. I am torn between being deeply honoured over someone finding something I came up with worth all that effort, and a feeling of shame about so much work being spent on something I gave so little thought into writing...
-
Haha. Your approval fills me with joy.
Your shame, however, is unwarranted. Actually, I've completely deviated from your paragraph now.
He's turned into more of just a generic massive evil demon troll monster thing, with just one mouth.
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!
Anyway, I'm done with his head and back and eyes now:
(http://i31.tinypic.com/15xtoci.jpg)
Hmmm... it occurs to me that he's no longer particularly applicable to the thread.
What should I add so that he's properly "Dwarf Fortress Fan Art"?
Maybe he'll be fighting an adventurer, or strangling an elf, or something...
EDIT: Or a kobold. Which I see like the lizardish D&D ones, by the way.
-

Just keep drawing! We can worry about that later!
Heck, it might even fit in with the upcoming new HFS?
-
Another one in the 'scanners are for wimps' category:
(http://www.zen102301.zen.co.uk/images/elf.jpg)
My elf.
(not natural colours, but a bit clearer than the shot I took in poor light)
Bald for the same reason as a vulture.
-
Very nice elf! Looks fittingly cruel and unpleasant.
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).
It's, like, the psychological embodiment of terror in a dwarf's mind.
And apparently I've picked that up too.
EDIT:
So now I need to incorporate, what...
Sobriety?
-
Tusks, Fire, and a whole lotta elves riding it with bows...
EDIT: and wings...
-
Tusks, Fire, and a whole lotta elves tentacles...
EDIT: and wings...
What self respecting dwarf is afraid of an elf?
-
Seriously.
I'm actually liking the tentacle idea a lot...
And I have considered wings a couple times. Less likely, though.
If they were, they'd probably have to be feathered. Eagles and cave swallows are scarier than bats.
-
(http://fc07.deviantart.com/fs29/f/2009/253/1/c/DF__Kobold_Swordmaster_by_Prorogue.png)
For the record, I totally imagine them as cute and cuddly under their masks. It just seems like if they were going to raid a dwarven settlement, they'd want to look as menacing as possible.
-
nice detail on the equipment.
I don't think goblins would be that colourful though, considering they wear mainly silk clothes and Iron armour.

It's a kobold
-
kobolds don't have that quality armour. they just use tunics and loincloths. I also don't think they have shields.
-
But that is a kobold who refused to bow to stereotypes.
-
It's a Kobold adventurer who looted a Goblin.
-
Come on, don't be
assholes grumblers.
There's such thing as imagination. It's easy to discuss someone's work and try to find something "wrong". You don't have to do it though.
Nice kobolds, Prorogue. They have a character.
Also it's a copper/leather armor and a copper short sword for me. Am I right, Prorogue?
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.
P.P.S. I was bored at work so here is a quick mspaint kobold :). There's no photoshop, no tablet and a very bad mouse. It reminded me of my early attempts in Ms Paint. Nostalgie :D.
(http://i32.tinypic.com/2cxi6hd.png)
-
Long time no see Deon! ;D
It has a very Gollum-like feel.
-
Stopped sketching my demon.
The visage of terror is gonna stay just a visage.
Did some gratuitous photoshopping to the webcam pic, though:
(http://i30.tinypic.com/29ntkq0.jpg)
I really like those goblinish-looking kobolds that Prorogue is putting out.
Looks like he's acquired random pieces of armor and just layered them on.
Like an adventurer.

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.
-
So I was right about them being like cygnonathids?
-
I've imagined Kobolds as something a bit like Gollum only reptilian too.
Hmm, if only I could draw.
-
For the record, I totally imagine them as cute and cuddly under their masks. It just seems like if they were going to raid a dwarven settlement, they'd want to look as menacing as possible.
That's what we in the TvTropes business call an "informed ability".
-
For the record, I totally imagine them as cute and cuddly under their masks.
that's sort of why I imagine their faces looking like an angry emote.
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/shieldman.jpg) like this: >:(
Like, yeah it looks angry, but in the end its still technically a cute little smily face.
-
That's a goblin, though?
But whatever. I love your goblins, Fault. So endearing, so awesome.
I guess I like seeing goblins and kobolds as sort of generic names for unpleasant little nasties.
Except goblins are the more organized, war-like ones, and kobolds are sort of just nomadic goblins.
-
While Kobolds are meant to be primitive, their copper weaponry does trump the wooden weaponry of the elves :P.
-
Just to clarify things, this is what I think DF kobolds look like.
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/kobold.jpg)
Also, we're nearing 100 posts! isn't it exciting?
-
I make it 1473.
And, by the way, that Kobold looks very good. Like a mini lizardman. Dunno about the shining daggar though...
-
whoops I mean 100 pages, not posts.
and: damnit it's not supposed to look like a lizard... and about the dagger? Yeah, it shouldn't be shiny, but whatever, I wanted to draw something shiny.
-
At what point does a dagger become a short sword?
-

Ahahahah, he's gorgeous!
The folds in the tattered clothes are brilliant!

This sounds alot like the Jawas. Although nobody knows what a jawa really look like, but they are probably rodent-like reptomammals.
-

While it looks somewhat reptilian I don't think it looks like a lizard. Good looking kobold.
-
I prefer Cutebolds.
-
I guess it is in a sort of reptilian shape, but my intention was for it to resemble a ragged, toothy rat with a billy goat beard. The beard, teeth, and proportions are the things that set it apart from wild ratmen.
-
It should have some reptillian features though; the official DF description of kobolds puts them as a sort of mammal\reptile hybrid.
-
Hey everyone. While we're on the topic of visualizing DF races, I thought I'd post this.
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/ELF.jpg)
It's an average looking Elf character, as opposed to Cacame the dwarfy elf or the insane Elf herbalist, which I don't really think are prime examples of what DF elves are supposed to be. This is one of them. He's looking down on you.
-
It'd be easier to see him looking down on me if he had pupils!
-
oh crap, I honestly forgot to add those.
Seriously. I left them for last and forgot about them.
-
Hahaha, the elf is great! :D
He looks like "Drawf? You have cut trees again. I am very dissapointed."
Edit: Aaaand page 100.
-
Actually, Fault, I like the lack of pupils in your art. It gives the art a fairly unique quality that, quite frankly, cracks me up.
-
Yeah. It's what makes your gobbo so fun to look at, among other things.
-
Thank you all for the kind words. :)
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.
-
I know that look. That look on the elf.
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.
-
I always liked, was it RavingDork's Elves? The ones that are sort of long and lanky, with big droopy noses and scraggly hair, they're sort of like monkeys.
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.
-
oh crap, I honestly forgot to add those.
Seriously. I left them for last and forgot about them.
Somehow, it really works.
-
Fault, your colouring is amazing. Please, never again use photoshop to blend the colours, it looks perfect the way it is.
-
Here is one of my miner dwarfs, he has bumped into the last five goblin thieves, and he has killed them all. Now, I decided to draw him ;D
It's still a work-in-progress
(http://www.roflsaurus.com/users/Nenghis/UristMcMiner.png)
-
I think that the most badass part about that pic is the fact that your miner somehow severed the goblin's head with a piercing weapon. That guy's hardcore.

Is that elf... wearing leather?
-
...
Hmmm, it does look like leather.
Maybe it's hemp Rope Reed dyed brown?
-
It could have gone feral.
It eats buys leather... Direct from manufacturers.
It supports... Republicans.
-
I love this thread. Here's another mouse drawn effort.
Dwarven hero challenges sleeping dragon!

Sad thing is, dwarf'll probably win.
Awesome pic anyway.
-
Alright! Done with my miner :D
(http://www.roflsaurus.com/users/Nenghis/UristMcMinerDone.png)

Urist has been quite content lately. He slept uneasily due to horrible nightmares recently. He woke up screaming recently. He dined in a legendary dining room lately.
(http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z250/Yperit/elephant.png)
-
wow, that is an unnerving elephant. nice contrast in the image.
Also, about the garb on my elf that looks like leather... I like to think that he somehow managed to weave a shirt and a belt out of wood and bark. It seems like something and elf would do.

Is he a necrophilic or something?

I think that's a "Elven attack? That's a contradiction in terms!" face.
-
I think that's a "Elven attack? That's a contradiction in terms!" face.
Yeah pretty much. It is him going "Really? Elves? Attacking?"
-
I think it's a mix of incredulity and "Hmm, why do the elves think they can splinter us into submission?"
-
Meh, disregard. Stupid browser.
-
This is the dark side of elves. they don't even wait for their victim's death before they begin their feast.
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/frenzy.jpg)
possibly another example of a dwarven nightmare.
-
The elves look startlingly similar to the goblins, but besides that, absolutely awesome. You're getting better with each entry.
-
Your impressive noir art style forces me to conclude that you must draw an elven Dick Tracy look-alike.

-
The elves look startlingly similar to the goblins
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.

He's a good detective, but the force is on him about always eating the perps before they can question them.

Considering Elves lack a maxage tag, perhaps Elves are Goblins that have achieved immortality?
-
Goblins don't have it either, which is why they're so terrifying.
They live forever. The only thing that keeps their numbers down is the constant infighting.
Elves, on the other hand, are probably like taller, more primitive goblins.
-
Actually that's true, both Goblins and Elves share immortality in common. Perhaps they both evolved from the same subspecies, or Elves are what happen to Goblins who escape from Demon control.
-
They are controlled by the demons of PETA.
-
"Hey"
"What nows?"
"Heeey!"
"What you wants!?"
"Looksie over there!"
"Wheres?"
"The TREES"
"Mmmghfuckntrees. What about 'm?"
"They... have souls"
"The fucks is wrong with youse!?"
"Excuse me my good goblin, but I must go and trade with some dwarves now. Perhaps I could make jests at their height, or attempt to see how much I can arouse their anger before they become outright hostile towards me! Oh how droll!"
"..."
"Oh, and we're enemies now"
"Wha-" *hurk*
Something like that?
-
Evolution at its finest.

*Chomp* "Mmmm, fillet of Goblin..."
Something like that?
Moar like that.
-
They definitely don't fillet them, though.
-
Sure about that?
-
I imagine it is done raw, as to prevent the burning of trees.
-
And, of course, due to the lack of proper cutting impliments, they would have to fillet the goblins with their teeth.
-
Although I suppose that could be possible...
Elves certainly aren't above that.
-
I think that elves became too goblin-like in this thread.
So here I am, to fix it.
I had some private time with my tablet this Sunday, so let me introduce you Elven Druid..ess.
Not safe for work.
(http://i31.tinypic.com/2ppd15g.png)
I planned to make her to sit on a wooden throne with bones and skulls around, but I don't have a time now.
-
NSFW pictures should be spoilered and labeled.
-
Well, if a single open breast (like on Madonna) is Not Safe enough, ok. :) Fixed.
-
It's not that unsafe.
It's a very good piece.
-
Thank you very much :D.
I wonder, who's the first person to notice...
-
(http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/DavionShores/DwarfDwarf.jpg)
Dwarf pieces.
-
Great nose, Davion :). This dwarf must have a notorious bloodline.
-
The most royal of noses
-
truly epic nose, can you draw a dragon, with that nose?
-
Well, if a single open breast (like on Madonna) is Not Safe enough, ok. :) Fixed.
We do have some little children on this board.
-
Little children are ok with breasts, believe me :). I know some who were fed to 10 y.o.
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.
-
I love the elf :) But I couldn't help but notice the extra finger.
-
They are controlled by the demons of PETA.
PETA should be a new HFS feature.
-
On topic of elves... terribly sorry for posting this here, but I just had to:
(http://mayday.w.staszic.waw.pl/~mayday/upload/also_elves.jpg)
(not mine of course)
-
I see Oglaf has many fans here lol.
aww and Tiny Pic killed Deons Pic before I could see it :'(
-
I love the elf :) But I couldn't help but notice the extra finger.
yay! You've won the cookie. I've made it intentionally, and the first remark was about the breast, not the 6th finger (as I expected ;D).
I occasionally drew 6th finger so I thought it would be fun to have elves with 6 fingers :). The 2nd arm has it too, you just don't see it because of the body.
Wait, I will reupload it somewhere else. I didn't think that a single opened breast makes it bad for TP :).
And comic... It's funny, Mike. Thanks (are you in Repo, those PK bastards still? ;D)
-
Here it is:
http://deon23.deviantart.com/art/DF-Elven-Druidess-136904403
Not Safe For Work, Children and Rashilul :). Also, [/spoiler].
Also, now I remember why I wanted 6th finger. I've played a lot of Fallout recently, so those who were Chosen Ones should know where did the 6th finger come from.
-
Ooooh, so she was walking on her hands in radioactive goo!
I don't know why, but she looks extremely creepy to me :/
I don't play FOnline anymore but I guess I'm still welcome in the Repo base, yeah.
-
I rarely play it too, it became too boring, I need something else :D.
Radioactive Goo = sunshine(?). Drink it and spill some on your hands...
Also, could you release here more of your work on 64x64 creature tileset if you've made some? It should be awesome (I currently work on 64x64 Neverwinter-like font, so you may be interested in future).
-
Sorry, had to put it on hiatus for now... too much to do.
-
I see Oglaf has many fans here lol.
Oh man, another webcomic I`ll have to follow. As if I am not spending too much time on internet already :)

Gloves are a bonus.
-
so let me introduce you Elven Druid..ess.
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 :)
Word of warning, man: There are a A LOT of dicks in that one. It's not just fantasy humour, most of it is very NSFW.
Sorry, had to put it on hiatus for now... too much to do.
NOOOO
-
Fault: Yeah, I am a bit obsessed with drawing muscular women >.> Thank you for your tips.
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 :).

Wow, that's some savage barbarian looking stuff right there. Never assumed an elf would look like that... more... dignified. But however I think of it, that is so DF elf.

anyone know how to make pics smaller?
-
Any image editing software?
Even paint will do.
Some image hosting sites have feature that re-sizes to common web stuff (avatars, etc)
-
Without hurting the resolution? Dunno. Hold onto your high-res pics. But yeah, even paint can shrink them to a given size.
Also, CTRL+-, nubs. They DO look better zoomed out.

Here's a how-to anyway. (Replace with brackets; measured in pixels)
(img height=# width=#)http://www.source.com(/img)
Better yet, specify only the height or only the width, not both, then the one you left out should be calculated automatically to maintain the image's aspect ratio.
Like so:

I love the elf :) But I couldn't help but notice the extra finger.
yay! You've won the cookie. I've made it intentionally, and the first remark was about the breast, not the 6th finger (as I expected ;D).
I occasionally drew 6th finger so I thought it would be fun to have elves with 6 fingers :). The 2nd arm has it too, you just don't see it because of the body.
Wait, I will reupload it somewhere else. I didn't think that a single opened breast makes it bad for TP :).
And comic... It's funny, Mike. Thanks (are you in Repo, those PK bastards still? ;D)
Huzzah, a cookie. I almost wasn't going to mention it because I was sure it wasn't a mistake, but in the end I was curious as to why you put it in.
-
Well... I'm going to join the group of people who have no drawing talent, posting pictures they made in paint. Hooray! A free *Figurative* Cookie to the first person to guess what it actually is.

2. It's a bronze collosus. It's one one knee.

Just peaking in to announce that Fault is still awesome.

what, Armok? no respect for Tack's bronze colossus?
...
Which, by the way, should not have armour of any sort. Why would it need armour if it's skin is already made of solid metal? and if it's snowing in your image, why do none of the trees have snow on them?
It's one one knee
huh?

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.

Druidess WIP.
Again, not safe for work, children and Rashilul.
I felt myself like trying to draw some background. It lacks details yet, but at least it's not white. Also, I didn't like the crappy shading on the previous one, and I tried to improve it (not with a good success though... I still need to practice ALOT).

You stab the minator in the head with your -Iron Spear-

This actually happened, and it was my first attack on him. Please draw this. I was a dwarf with all steel armour and a stolen spear.

A crossbow adventurer (which do not have a decent armor nor shield from the start).
Do you wonder why did I draw her? She was killed by the first critter I was going to melee. A groundhog. Throat wounds are depressing.

I wonder, is oil present in Toady's list of things to put in DF?

Great, Spreggo! The gloomy and serious dwarf! The atmosphere is great. What did you paint him with? I like the style.

Looks like a tablet and image software (GIMP, Photoshop). Good work btw, excellent use of shadows and texture.

Yep, I used a tablet and painted out from a black background. I'm going to try and do a battle scene like that so I can practice abbreviating forms. Just a lot of sketches right now...

Speedpainting is an excellent way to improve your skills. I don't do nearly enough of it, which is why i routinely screw up basic physiology.

Thanks :D
I'm not sure yet, I tried to do some goblins but they looked like crap. So, maybe I'll do a randomized underground creature or something like that... of course, a school of carp might be terrifying enough.
-
if you are going with Black mat for the battle how about SoF? they fill every dwarf, scratch that thing(I have battled them in Kobold Camp), with fear. Plus they give ample oportunity to have fun with lighting.

whoa, those are some sweet dwarves Spreggo. Really atmospheric.
Also, here's a bronze colossus:

Catwoman meets DF.. Nice.
Wait... can you actually make gloves and stockings and... thongs?
-
Pretty cool Bronze Colossus. Although I always imagined them as bieng more statue-like and less of a mecha.
Seriously though, it looks like ancient dwarves might have designed that thing.
-
Yes, DF has gloves, boots and thongs.
I've gotten an artifact thong at least once, actually.
Anyway, Fault, your colossus is very steampunk. I like it, though.
And Spreggo, that is SO AWESOME. I second the opinion of a SOF.
-
Pretty cool Bronze Colossus. Although I always imagined them as bieng more statue-like and less of a mecha.
Seriously though, it looks like ancient dwarves might have designed that thing.
The bronze colossus is most likely to have been designed by dwarves, the story goes like this:
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.
-
I always figured it was something left behind by Armok when he created the world; massive statues built in his image that accidentally absorbed some of the leaking divine creation power and came to life. Or perhaps huge idols built to a given god that were animated by an ancient race with a trapped spirit of some kind, the spirit; not being too hot on being trapped in a body of bronze, promptly flipped the fuck out and killed them all off.
Or something, who knows. There could be thousands of different kinds, each with their own unique origin.
Perhaps the Titans built them?
-
{Another quick sketch: A legendary thrower}
that's a.. very manly chin. Methinks you're just drawing babes in leather and then trying to make them seem DF-related...
{Another quickie. Goblin Cavalry}
Nice composition, the picture really flows. I always thought beak dogs were red, though.
{Vester's Vermin-eater pic}
oh wow, that's funny. and so true.
-
Nah, I draw babes WHILE thinking of DF, so it's a real-time process. However I like to draw them in general, so the theme doesn't matter that much.
Also, I am not sure about beak dog's color. Might be red as well.

Apparently I'm the only one around here who draws women with enough clothing on. :P

Yep, I had to make a non-dwarf-eating-leech cap, to make up for the other.
-
Spreggo, you make beautiful stuff. The black backround both conveys a feeling of darkness and gives a wonderful minimalist feel to it. Nothing to draw the eyes away from the subjects of the composition.
In contrast, Fault has wonderful detailed images that really bring out a rich feel. Like being able to examine every last detail of an object in real life. And it meshes well, the eyes flow smoothly from one element to the next. I can't wait to see the bronze colossus in color.
-
Spreggo=made of fantastic. I really like the light, or lack thereof, rather.
Also, to evryone I havn't cmented, your stuff is realy, really awesome to, I am just to lazy to go back and look who posted what.

Obviously, Fault is of the sensibility that they just want his +cat tallow biscuits+...
Anyway, I know it was a few pages back, but what makes anyone think the elves would be naked/skimpily dressed? You'd think they dress heavily even in hot weather, by the amount of clothes they export.
-
You're thinkin of Deon's crazy green barbarian elves.
Not DF's crazy reblooded hypocrit elves.
I assume they dress differently.

Also, they wear wood.
-
Wood splint armor.
...except, that would make them cool. I say they wear barrels with shoulder straps.
-
I find it strange how they have the least layering for all the races. you would think they would have atleast some layering so they can live in cold pine forests comfortably.
Lol they use sunshine barrels for armor so they can fight and drink at the same time.
-
fight and drink at the same time
no no.. then they'd be too much like dwarves.
-
What if we rename plate armor, barrel armor then everyone can get drunk while fighting.
Then human goblin and dwarf berserkers will be happy.
Everyone will be happy
Mostly dwarves as they can't become drunk while their enemy will go unconscious randomly.
-
Wood splint armor.
...except, that would make them cool. I say they wear barrels with shoulder straps.
I wouldn't worry about that, dude. Even the gauntlets are made of wood. I doubt that'll look cool.
-
All I can see is that elves would get freaking massive splinters whenever they wear their wooden armor, especially since they rarely wear things under the armor. Chafing taken to a whole new level.
-
Heh, that'd be pretty cool. Armor that doubles as a liquid container- in fact, it would be extremely useful ingame, to prevent dwarves from running off in the middle of dragging their wounded buddy off the field or whatever.

I think it's called a corkscrew in the game... you can't open a bottle of wine with that. Though, Archimedes's screws make more sense for water pumps.
-
GIF... soooo... spinny... can't... stop... watching...
Also, I was gonna say exactly what you just said about corkscrews and such.
Also also, the kobold is freaking me out.
-

It is indeed called a corkscrew, but the fact that you can pump water with them shows they have to be some kind of archimedes screw. So they're just misnamed.
-
Your art style really is amazing Spreggo. I don't have enough experience in art to really criticize it, so I'll just praise you.
-
Gah, those are awesome Spreggo. Especially the kobold, which is both creepy and cute.
-
This Is DF!
I mean, really. This is the most DF-like kobold I've ever seen. Just like those buggers in Kobold Quest, but with a realistic level of details.
I love you for that kobold picture ^_^.
The goblin is great too. This "What is it?" look is real :).
-
I like how the goblin seems to be happy that a massive corkscrew is about to take out his eye.

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.
The goblin is great too. This "What is it?" look is real :).
to me its more of a resigned "well i had that coming" look. like he just realised that of course there will be traps and it's hit own stupid fault he's gonna die in one
again an edit: hehe DennyTom that is more or less what i meant. |

-
Neruz - then the "corkscrew" trap would have been meet grinder. And the real corksrew can be modified in Archimedess screw with some wood or metal (not really good one, but it can be done).
-
So... Awesome...
-
Not only are these paintings just about my favorites on this thread, Spreggo, you're also pumping them out.
Such quality, such speed. I don't know how you do it! You fill my daily awesome quota by noon.
Anyway, I love that kobold so much that I'm going to actively attempt to change my mental image of them to that.
He is beautiful, in a remarkably unpleasant and disgusting sort of way.
-
I just want to hug the kobold, actually. Except if I tried he would probably shank me.

You should try and finish the last picture ;)
-
Vester, that's definitely one of my favorite comics so far ;D
Second one is intense. The angling of the posture is spot on for that. Definitely finish it as much as possible though, I think you could get a lot out of it.
Dr. Johbson, I think we need more images of dwarves at work. Maybe in a, "Contribute to the War Effort! Protect the Mountainhome!" propagandistic sort of way.
-
see how DF has influenced us. Just like legendary engravers, people start churning out masterworks like from a machinegun
-
Except, you need a $300+ computer to do it. Dwarves can do it with just their beards.
-
Saw this posted to reddit and had to share. (Note: I didn't draw this)
Now, the author says it is a viking vs a shark, but I think we all know better. The guy is using an axe, he has a giant beard, looks short and is a bad-ass by fighting a shark. He is obviously a dwarf.

Can't be a Dwarf, if it was a Dwarf he would be drowning.

Also. Everything looks sweet. well.. furry. But sweet. visually sweet, not that I'd want to eat a furry sweet. Especially if it's a kobold, considering that kobolds are not... sweet. It looks good, ok!
-
The kobold is cute and beautifully drawn, but they will forever be tiny lizardmen in my eyes.
-
Not in DF :).
-
Officially, DF Kobolds are a mammal\reptile hybrid. Sneaky, cunning, nasty and with a penchant for kleptomaniacal hoarding. So they're a bit lizardy.

Not in DF :).
Screw your detailed bodies! I can asciimagine whatever I want!
-
Are those two hanging things fangs or drool? Just wondering.
-
Love his ears in that one.
And I think they're drooling fangs.
-

Ambush!
Just sorta mucking around and figuring things out
-
Cool, drooling fangs make them look a bit vampiric, or perhaps reptillian/snakelike.
I thought their snouts would be somewhat longer though.
As far as ratmen, they would have rounder ears and tails (which kobolds don't have I think).
-
Yep mine don't have tails, although you wouldn't be able to tell that from the picture. I was trying to develop the kobold sketch a bit more.
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.

It reminds me of Frank Miller's Sin City, but it's missing two things:
1. Black, and lots of it.
2. WhoresWhoresWhoresWhoresWhores (http://www.shortpacked.com/d/20060207.html)
-
I'm not aware of Frank Miller's other works. Are there a great deal of whores in them?
-
That and the Goddamn Batman.

Sin City sort of proved that you can accomplish a whole lot by using striking composition alone.

Proposal:
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!
-
would it go in creative projects then?
oh and I whipped this up in about four minutes:

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.
-
well I'm sure balathastrius and vester would be on board with something like this.
-
I certainly would be! :D
Although I have to buy a new tablet first. Mine is being a bastard. The pen is behaving really weirdly - it "clicks" before I even touch the nib to the tablet. It's really hard to draw with it.
-
You need to adjust the distance sensitivity.

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.
-
Yeah, I guess I should look for a pen, but I've been meaning to get a new tablet as well, since my current one is a 3x4 inch Genius... I need something a bit bigger.
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.
-
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.

Kobolds have yellow glowing eyes, and goblins have red glowing eyes...
This monstrosity has orange glowing eyes.
I shudder at the thought.

Is that a kobold cutting off that dwarfs beard?
Truly, a fate worse than death!
-
Or his neck... but hey. I'm not a buzz-kill.
-
I would love to see a picture of a young kobold looking on horrified when an adventurer butchers (literary) its family/colony.
Because you know that if you could butcher kobolds you would.
-
does it have a forked tongue?
that's a nice addition! goes well with the whole "rodent skin/ reptilian innards" idea.
I used to picture them with opposable thumbs on their feet, till I found out they only had three toes.
-

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.

Quick, I need a title for the drawing group.
edit: How about The Engravers Guild?

who gets to be the guildmaster
-
who gets to be the guildmaster
Well I'm hoping that between us starters, we'll get it going on its way well enough that it will govern itself organically, generating project ideas, prompts et cetera... on its own as a group effort.
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.
-
I'd love to get involved in the engraver's guild, if you guys think I'm worthy.
Also, I love the forked tongue. The drooling fangs weren't doing much for me without it, but now they're awesome.
-
Spreggo i must say that makes for an incredible avatar. you and fault do great work :D

I just gotta say that one of the things I love best about this thread is that it's not an 'art snobbery' thread. That 'beautiful and amazing' can coexist next to 'I did the best I could with little skill'. I enjoy just about every pic in here.

I agree.
Now that's out of the way, there were some absolute beauties in here, and Spreggo is pumping out consistant awesomeness. The black background and limited lighting reall fits dwarfy undergroundyness.

Okay, for anyone who's interested in the drawing group, I started a thread in Creative Projects: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=42086.0
Everyone is invited! The idea is to draw a lot and share links and things.

Engraving style drawing of a dwarf.
That brown thing in the top left is a really lazy sconce.

I like this.

Looks really nice. If I may recommend something, remove the black outline in the top left part of picture. The brownish thing is not so bothering, but the outline looks weird and steals your eyes from the engraving.

-
nice dwarf, sindayven.
it really looks like it's engraved in stone... what program did you use to do that?
-
Gah, no time! No time to draw!
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!
(http://i33.tinypic.com/2j0bkhs.png)
I hope I've drawn 'em distinct enough for YOU to find the difference ;D.

It's the left one that's a male, and the right one that's female right? Just like the dwarves there? ::)
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
"I'm Kulet, this is my brother Urist, this is my other brother Urist."
-
The female dwarf looks like she is wearing a fake beard made from a face veil (is she?). Which would be pretty cool, as it maintains both the beardedness and femininity of dwarf women. Also, iron rolling pin. Must mod both into the game.
-
Actually, both shortsword and rolling pin were supposed to be from rock, but I didn't have a time to texture :).
Also, the beard was going to be natural, she just shaved her moustache off. If you look closer, the male has the same type of beard. It's just a sketch so I don't expect it to come out close to natural.
-
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.

Urist Ushilčzum versus a Giant Cave Spider on a mountainside. The spider has already broken her arm, and she can already feel the paralysing poison coursing through her veins, but she rushes forward and gives her last strength into a swing at its cephalothorax...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v44/Maccabeus/Dwarf_Fortress/hammerdwarfspider.png)
(Notably, hitting the cephalothorax let her crush its heart. Despite the fact that spider hearts are in the abdomen. Ah, well...)
-
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
-
Heh, my point precisely.
Also, and I don't quite consider it derailing since this is a drawing thread, what do you think of the next-version dwarf descriptions? Seems like there might have been more important things to capture than the earlobes... and yeah, I know it's temporary.

Wow, so much great work in here recently. This thread moves so fast lately...
Here's a picture of some glowing pits:
(http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac24/jcpahlart/sept16_2009_glowingpits.jpg)

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.
-
That would actually be pretty cool; threads of glowing (blueish?) metal spread through out the cavern, but making not adding to the lighting of the scene.
I used to picture adamantine as a redish orange, before I actually saw it in-game.
-
The little violet veins in the background rock wall are supposed to be adamantium. But I think you guys are right; they're too subtle.
Fire and smoke would be a little overpowering to the scene, I think. The impression I always have when I think of the glowing pits is of an eerie, glowing hole into the depths, but quiet, coiled... waiting.
-
If you make them a sort of gleaming glittery blue that should contrast nicely with the reds and browns.

Freakin' AWESOME.
-
I usually picture Adamantine as a platinum color, or maybe iridescent.
Anyway, my 2 cents- increase the glow, maybe add some adamantine. Bonus points if you can make an animated glow from within, that would really cement the effect that it's no natural light.
-
I love the glowing pit - the way the Adamantine is set in the wall makes it look like it really is radiating out from the pit...
-
That looks exactly like i picture them.
Except i think of adamantine as blue.
used to think it as being green.
Mithril is platinum color, right?
-
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.

Yeah, I think the idea is that they're blue but would look violet in that reddish light.
It looks pretty cool in any case. I like the engravings off to the side.

For a second, I thought the glass pants was the punchline to the comic, and I was scratching my head wondering how it was.

The pants are actually supposed to be turtle shell ;) has to be one giant turtle though. And no, it has nothing to do with the joke :)
-
Sindayven: Great joke, and I love how all the dwarves are colour-coded. ;D
EagleV: I'm not sure I want to know why that symbol is where it is on the leggings...
-
There was only one on it. It needed a little symmetry. Besides, who wouldn't want a granite toad right there?
-
Bands of microcline, I'm guessing?
-
Wrong. It was the single last piece of raw adamantite in the whole fortress. We didn't find any more after that.

I always think of mithril as bright, shining silver with a slight blue tinge.
And nice comics people.

that's some classic dwarven humour, sindayven. You've got quite a sense for funny three-panel comics.

wasn't that one of Sanae's spellcards ?

Beats me. Its been a while since I played, and even then I didn't remember their names. :-\

That looks a little annoying.

yes, I am certain, Sanea's spellcard "Sea opening: moses miracle"
however, you did a mistake
the lasers are not vertical like that, they are homing knives that come from the upper half of the screen

This is... sort of related, anyway.

Por-... uh... Cartoons? Ben ten, Digimon. The classics and such. Also - the comic book industry. Marvel, DC. Video game industry - another widespread industry. Reality tv. popular, though horrible.
Have I destroyed your argument yet?
-
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.
-
The Discussion Is Over. Open a new topic about East vs West cartoons, in which case I shall join the cause.
-
If you actually bother to define cartooning and anime, they are both just drawing simplified representations of forms.
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.

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.
Also I laugh at current "satanists" which praise the "devil" ("satan") and pentagram en masse while most of them don't know (or don't want to know) the true meaning of these symbols.
-
(Laughs at the christian rippoff of paganism)
Poor fools.
-
Poor? Nah, not poor and not fools. It's a good working system and it works even now. And it nets a good amount of money and respect, so the people who started it were really clever and they knew what they were doing. They've managed to control wars and politics and unite huge amounts of people, I'd say it's almost perfect ruling system, at least they have something to protect their point.
Go on and draw something already, or this thread is going to be derailed big time. I am currently working on a big picture (and I am not sure that I'll be able to make it right) so I am out of business for some time.

Indeed. They are neither poor nor fools, simply because they were the victors.

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. (I think Christian legends add that he has four eyes at the top of his body, one for each of the Four Horsemen, but I'm not sure. That might be a modern addition.

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!".

Did you just quote the Tvtropes article verbatim? :D
Also: I think that's close to what a Cherub was supposed to look like. Even in Madeline L'Engle's books, apparently. Although her Seraphim are close to the pretty-pretty medeival model.

Islamic mythology
Sad what 19th-century Europe did to that, really, in popular culture. I much prefer the djinni of smokeless fire to Robin Williams popping out of a lamp.
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.

I'd say nr 4, but let the orbits go partially behind the dwarf. Maybe nr2 if it were magma and not a hydrogen bomb. Maybe add some microcline.

Seeing it against a dark background, however, leads me to believe that the 'fizz' should have been partially alpha'd, rather than made a lighter color.

3 is more icon-worthy. Just pixelfy it more, and you'll be set.
As for an overall logo, I agree with Siquo and go for magma instead.

At least use spoilers. Talented artists use spoilers for their beautiful pictures to save space, and you quote the same fast-drawn pic again and again.
Respect your forummates.
If you think it's clever, it's not. It's stupid.
Maybe it's funny for you, but not for everyone. All I see is a sketchy girl with a propeller-hand holding a kitten, a hexagonal cylinder with "Predator"-style markings and a toothy vagina on her chest.
Sorry, maybe a coloring could fix it.

Why is there no beard on that female dwarf? :D
There IS a beard.

This is why dwarves have vomit coverings all the time.

It's funny, because I was in a good mood and smiling when I typed that. What made you think that I was raging? :)
Is the lack of smileys considered a "raeg" these days? I was just pointing out that it became boring to see the same thing again and again.
Sensei: Could you explain this? I see a minotaur throwing a bolt at a platform which falls into a chasm :D. What was there in reality?

Is that the Kobolds dagger stabbed into the dwarfs hand?? Its hard to tell whether his hand was stabbed or he is holding it. It might be on the ground though. It's a bit hard to tell perspective there.

Looks stabbed.
When I hold a knife my hand doesn't bleed.
-
Yeah, the dagger's stuck in his hand. Probably parried a thrust bare-handed. A dwarven way to disarm someone, if you ask me.
-
That is really good, Riess. One of the better depictions of a kobold I've seen, I think. Though I'm usually partial to cutebolds. ;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.
Is there a tutorial for this sort of thing that you could link to?
-

I'm afraid I wouldn't know where to look. I just kind of stumbled upon the effect while playing around in photoshop.
-
It's a common way I do things: I experiment with filters and layers when I am bored, and sometimes I find funny things. Sometimes I get something ugly though... :)
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.

He looks like a philosopher philosophizing. Probably because I equate looking upwards with thinking.

Bah. Penny-pinchers. Get photoshop, it's awesome. ;D
The dwarf actually looks like he's squinting angrily.

DG: looking upwards is generally associated with the act of remembering, so it's not too much of a stretch to equate it to thinking. Though it would be sad if, for this dwarf, thinking = remembering.

I was reading some other pages in this thread and noticed some inverted drawings. I was inspired earlier to draw a human that killed me in adventure mode with very adorned armor, note that he had a sword, not two daggers, but it seemed more fitting to the desert town he lived in.
(http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z86/deaths_jester1/Inverted.jpg?t=1256190284)
Notice that his armor is menacing with spikes, wrapped in bands of leather, has studs of metal, adorned with bones, you name it.

GUYSGUYSGUYS, people put their art here at the risk of looking like an idiot, whilst there is art that renders most other works insignificant, everybody has a right to show what they can do.
Also: beauty funny is in the eye of the beholder, one man's BEST COMEDIAN EVAR is another man's annoying douchebag -and vice-versa.

And I accept critisism when my artwork is shit. No ego's bruised, all is peachy.

Ah but making a statement implying that nobody finds his work funny is different to stating that you personally didn't enjoy it.

The same applies to a lot of things we saw in this thread, actually.

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.
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.

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.

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.

His wrists are too fat. Not that I'm saying the piece isn't awesome, just pointing out what's off.

It was the thought that counted.... right?

I think the wrists are okay as is, but I also fail quite hard at drawing hands so... my opinion might not be the best :P
The pic itself is awesome, too. I especially like the beard/head hair.
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.

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.

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.
Why does he look like the incredible hulk, i mean just WHY!!!!

Hello, I'm new around here. I present to you: The Carpelfefant! It jumps out of the next river and impales dwarves with it's terrible tusks as soon as they even look at a tree ;D Quite the Fun creature...

I was bored when I went back home from work via Metro, so despite of the "shaky" environment of a wagon, I've sketched a few characters I may or may not use. The time will show.

More cloaks ... mine usually wears like 10
-
Well, I don't want to overcrowd the figure, but if my hands reach the project, he'll have a HUGE wardrobe full of cloaks.
Also note that he wears a cloak, boots, mask and a belt. Nothing else. That's why his head sits so low (well, at first it gives him some character, second thing that it's a kind of censorship without black squares because I hate them).
-
weeeeelll, his head isnt quite covering anything... and from the looks of it he doesnt even need underpants

Now I need a proper cover before I continue :).
-
YES MORE.
But what are those things in the background, in the mountain in the last panel? They look more like gazebos made out of giant mushrooms than elephants (the most logical thing I can imagine them being).
-
Well, those are elephant silhouettes, to haunt your nightmares :D.
Seriously though, it's just a small "easter egg" about the future events, be sure you'll see the "proper" elephants in their true glory.
-
Yeah, I guessed they were elephants. But if I hadn't already read Boatmurdered, I would be dead sure that was some sort of architecture.
Interesting note, my hands originally typed out 'seen' instead of read.

I think a lot more of the moments in boatmurdered need to be put into a visual format.
Do you really intend to chronicle the entire saga as a comic, Deon?

Let's see how it comes out. I am not sure if I can endure everything, but I will try to be stout :).

How do they already have a philosopher when they just settle down? It took me at least 3 dwarf years... That is like the most perfect spot for embarkment, too bad he named it boatmurdered, they means elephants... at least it isn't giant eagles...

Deon, you rule! I'm definitely going to follow your comic!
-

I meant that they were sent from a mountainhome where there's one. You are usually given a name of your place before you start, thus I tried to simulate it and to find some funny explanation to a silly name.
Thank you for kind words, I definitely shouldn't be doing it now, with all my current problems and stuff, but I can't fight myself not to draw it and I will try not to disappoint you :).

This one isn't bad, it has a style and is easy to understand. It could be a template for another graphics set for dwarves or a different race (dwarves need beards :D).

The dwarf graphics is completely based on the default "bearded smily face" symbol (to the right)

I love that 'smilie' dwarf. I can imagine the eyes flashing when he becomes legendary.

That dwarf is scary. He looks disturbed, not to mention that his holes for eyes are creepily out of place now that the detail has been increased.

he's supposed to look mildly surprised or depressed.
Kind of how I figure dwarves would react to all the terrible things happening around them. Distraught at first, but then sort of "oh, another extremely tragic event, I should act mildly surprised"

When you look at that, it suddenly makes sense why engravers take so long to detail walls.
Look at the amount of stone you'd have to remove to make those walls smooth and even.
Very nice art, though. I wish I could draw rocks like that. The colors are delightful.

Hey, Balathustrius, man, I am glad you're back on the wagon! This thread can't be as awesome as it is without your contributions ^_^.

Shade-o, smjjames; I was imagining that it was just moss, heh. Malachite would be shinier, and I don't know what olivine even looks like. Olives, probably.
Ironhand; thanks, and yeah, even worse than smoothing the stone would be sleeping in the mud. No wonder they get unhappy thoughts. ;D
Deon; wow, thanks! I'm blushing. Love your comics, btw.

Oh, Deon, I just remembered what yer blue eleves remind me of:

the weird blue aliens from James Cameron's avatar.
-
Yea, I saw that linked over on the Stonesense thread and with the blue sprites. I think its a pretty cool looking movie.
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.
-
Awesome Boatmurdered. Great colors.
Needs scorched bones strewn across the plain, though. = P

With time, with time :).

the weird blue aliens from James Cameron's avatar.
Hehe, yeah, that was a kind of a joke. I think I will go with "normal" elves in the comic, but let the one blue be to remind of the upcoming movie :D.
Balathustrius: This is awesome. I can use it with a current aspect since it fits the page. Thank you very much!

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.
Also, Deon, don't you usually draw elves as naked six-fingered greenskins?
-

This is because you lack imagination :P
-
one of the major artistic contributors to the fan art form lacks imagination? >:(
-
The :P smiley was supposed to indicate silliness. Although to be fair, if you're having trouble picturing Elves as anything other than the stereotype Tolkien so effectively thrust upon Western Media, then i do have somewhat of a point.
-
oh, I see. :)
I was just saying that I think DF elves are supposed to be stereotypical.
I don't see all elves like that, in fact the elves in this story i'm writing are very different from the stereotype:
Elves in my novel:
they start off like standard immortal, beautiful people, but with green blood and yellow, papery skin. they must eat "fruit of immortality" or they begin to age and grow taller, decaying and becoming like plants. Their limbs become long and branch-like, with more joints than normal. Eventually they become insane, decrepit, tree-like skeletons.
-
The recent DFTalk certainly suggests that Toady intended for them to be Tolkienesque Elves, but that's pretty clearly not how they turned out; atm we've got rabid, feral, breed-like-rabbits-and-eat-thine-enemies elves that declare war on people for the hell of it and never seem to survive world generation when i have 5 goblin civs and 3 orc civs (strange that...)
-
Also, Deon, don't you usually draw elves as naked six-fingered greenskins?
As you see, I like to try unusual things and I am not afraid to use imagination :P.

The Avatar
hairless furries elves do not belong in DF. We already have beast-men races that will be more than active in the upcoming release with the extra fun added underground. Nowhere is safe again! Like back in the 2D.
If DF Elves are anything but sadistic Tolkien Elves, they're zerglings.
-
As beast-men go, the Avatar aliens are pretty damn humany. Beast men tend to be, well, beasts.
The people coloured Avatar aliens actually look pretty good, the patterns look like some sort of elaborate ritual tattooing, which is neat.
-
If it wouldn't be directly ripping a major motion picture and mediocre cannon (which our current elves really don't, ours have made their own niche), then I really wouldn't care if the Elves looked more animalistic and tribal.
Thumbs down on the blue elves. Though we can totally have our elves look more tribal than the Tolkien ones do. That would fit.

Seriously, that elf is fucking scary and the gobbo in your avatar is like "Stop staring at me or I'll kick your ass," but at the same time, they're the cutest depiction of DF creatures I've ever seen, aside from cutebolds.

thanks, Ein. I posted a kobold a bit earlier in this thread, but for convenience I'll post it again here:

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.

I know the race; they also venerate obesity, so not really all that Elflike :P

I've come up with my only version of elves for the game design document I'm working on, but I don't care to give away too many details. Basically, instead of pale, blond people, they have variety in skin tone like humans, but it leans towards darker skin due to their sunny environment. There's more to it than that, but that bit is the part that is less tailored to my game's setting.

Oh, and there was a big discussion on raptors on FUTURE OF THE FORTRESS, so I decided to draw a beak dog:
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/beakdog.jpg)
I may have to change the design a bit, 'cause in the prefstrings it says they have hunched backs.
oh, and beaks.
-
Hmm something wrong with the mouth.
When you do the re-design for the backs, make the mouth make more biomechanical sense, more :V shaped than a :U or when it closes it will look a bit like :d
-
I had always imagined them as really small Knarloc (of 40k design)
(http://www.ifelix.co.uk/images982/IMG_1865_1.jpg)
Not exactly but similar.
It really should have a beak though.
-
A beak isn't neccessarily a bird-style beak, IIRC a number of amphibians and reptiles have 'beaks' which are basically just hardened lips with somewhat of an edge (i'm not sure of the details as to how or why it's hardened).
So what that Knarloc has for a mouth would actually qualify as a beak, probably.
-

It's a sinister aura. He burns with the flame of wickedness!
Elves should totally be babysnatchers. That would even be somewhat mythologically accurate.

nice one soadreqm
I haven't seen your stuff on this thread in a while
-
I sort of like the idea of elves as sentient plants. Maybe their skin is green due to photosynthesis occurring in it, which would free them from the need to eat plants or animals and allow them to live in perfect harmony with nature. Or maybe not. But I agree that they need something to make them more alien, so that they're not just perfect, immortal humans with pointed ears (i.e. Tolkien... although Tolkien never specified that their ears were pointy).
(http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/digitalwaylander/elves.jpg)

Thanks, Fault! Yeah, I've been hiding. Haven't produce anything dwarf-related lately.
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.

Pretty sure DF goblins are supposed to be grey
well, if we're going with their default tile colours, then DF dwarves, elves and humans are all supposed to be dark blue.
not that I mind grey goblins, I've worked with that design before:
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/goblinmerc-1.png)
also, yeah the design of my beak dog's mouth is fundamentally flawed.
-
I think a good way to think of it is 'how would they function in modern society'?
For goblins, I usually picture them as wielding black market-bought AK47's and raiding small towns, making their (temporary) homes in caves to hide from those who would seek to wipe them out, and quickly squandering any wealth they come into.

oh someone has to draw that now.

Balathustrius, usually your work is outstanding, but here the ears look really weird. In an added-after-faces-were-done-and-not-meant-to-go-with-pointy-ears way. They look quite ethereal, and given their length I feel like the other one should be visible too.

I dunno. Just because the elves are insane warmongering cannibals with bizzare ethic systems doesn't mean they should look like aliens or furries or whatever the hell. The elf diplomat in game is too much of a passive-aggressive pantywaist to really make me think of them as being very primitive anyways.
When people think of elves, the typical Tolkien-style generally comes to mind. That or little 4 inch tall guys that run a baked-goods factory out of an old tree. Probably not the Blue Man Group with pointy ears.

Thanks, and yes, lol. The ears are unfinished because I'm lazy; they're mostly placeholders. I know they look bad. :P

Strange, I always pictured elves as evolved murderously fanatic treants...

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.
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.

oh someone has to draw that now.

Yeah, and it was worse at earlier stages. I don't know why that happened. Too bad the Dark Eldar already corner the market on Marilyn Manson elves. :(

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.

I never posted this in this thread, I don't think. It's unfinished, and getting so old that I'll probably never go back to it. But it's a goblin and thus relevant, so I'll put it in here.

And here's a little sketch. It's sort of a gremlin or something, I think.

Ooookay, nightmares for a month it is.
:D
Seriously Bala, do you do this professionally? You're far too good to imagine that your skills aren't being used to better mankind.
That is an ideal demon, either way.
Thanks! I'm not a professional yet.
These are old. I think these are almost the first fanarts I ever posted here (but never in this thread, so here they are now). Dwarf silhouettes!

-
[spoiler](http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac24/jcpahlart/goblinwip1.jpg)
I'd say this is probably the best image of a goblin I've seen so far, at least the way I perceive them. I play with Dig Deeper, so I imagine the goblins to be something similar to the orcs that the Fellowship of the Ring fought in Moria, while the orcs in DF are akin to the Uruk Hai who fought at the Hornburg.
-
Thats about right for a goblin, I'd think. Cept they have 5 toes per foot in the raws.
Kobolds only have 3 toes per foot, but still have 5 fingers. So kinda like lizard feet, I guess?
-
Balathustrius, is your day job art related or something? I can't imagine how many years of painting it took to be able to churn this caliber of stuff out like you do.
And FYI, Elves aren't sentient plants. They're sentient fungus. They eat the corpses of their victims. Only fungi eats dead animal matter, not plants. Of course, then you'd expect them to care about the dwarves staple crop being plump helmets, but still. Then again, there are insectivore plants. Shoot. Now I don't know.
But I'm liking those green elves you just posted awhile back.
-
Elves are Orks?
-
Tolkein Orcs and Goblins were very inhumane, I thought. Personally I don't like the idea of humans being the only intelligent life capable of being "humane" (ethical is probably a much better word, given how horrible some people can be - another topic). should other intelligent life exist. It's always struck me as a little racist - if it can think for itself, it can make the decision to be nice. Culture and whatnot might make that individual more or less likely to be nice, mind you, and the more isolated the culture is, the stronger it's presence.
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.

HEY guys
I was working with some graphite and gradient shading pencils today.
Decided to try for a more realistic style than what I usually work with, here are the results
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/duergar.jpg)
it didn't scan exactly straight.. you can see a bit of the sketchbook rings at the top
-
Heh, I recognize Cacame's hammer, and I like the ASCII-relevant plump helmet.
I recall Orcs were the product of Sauron, and basically evil by "nature". Goblin were similarly evil, I think the cause being demon-related, and all of their offspring follow suit. But enough about Tolkien.
-
I instantly recogonized the alternative spellings of "Dwarf"..."Dwarrow", "Duergar and" "Demuirg"....
I suddenly realize I'm more of a D&D nerd then I thought I was....
-
Demurig sounds closer to Demiurge, which is a powerful demon or something.
-
Your art skills are significantly improving every drawing I see that you draw...
I approve.
-
Your art skills are significantly improving
aww, thanks
Demurig sounds closer to Demiurge, which is a powerful demon or something.
I think demiurg is the greek word for Craftsman actually
I got the word form warhammer 40k, its the name of a dwarf-like race allied with the tau
Heh, I recognize Cacame's hammer
Nah, thats just any old ordinary hammer. Cacame's hamer is a two-hander with a blade on the end that gets longer and more prominent every time I draw it :P
-

Yeah.
Dwarf: Standard Mountain Dorf.
Dwarrow: Wild-eyed "hill" Dwarf.
Duergar: Spooky, psionic, evil dorfs with grey skin. (Probably abducts the "hill" dwarves")
Demiurg: Re-packaged Squats from the WH40K world.
I think, at least.
-
I'm not so sure about the last two...
Dwarf: standard mountain dwarf
Dwarrow: wilder hill dwarves (closer to the earth? gypsy magic?)
Deurgar: there should be some kinda evil dwarf race (white skin and black beard?)
Demiurg: some kinda forigner Indian-looking race (the sikhs have nice beards)

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.
-
Dwarrow sounds to me like a derogative term for a surface-dwelling dwarf. They are no different, except that they build their houses out of wood like the humans.
Deurgar are the fully troglodytical dwarves of the deep underground.
Demiurg are some sort of eldritch dwarves from faraway planes. They are adept magic users and carve elaborate mountain halls using powers emanating from their body.

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. ( This could represent any player that embarks on a non-mountain biome)
-
I like where this is going.
we could make a good setting out of this
-
I kind of like those ideas there. Skorpions 'plainsdwarf' avatar could be a Dwarrow, although not so tall.

I think we are going to be seeing more of those non-mountain biome forts with the new release, so....
-
Perhaps we should try this with elves
Let me think of some alternate names for them...
Tuatha
Sylvan
Trowe
svart
there's proabably more I;m not remembering right now
-
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.
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.
-
Svart: Stark-naked and painted blue from head to toe
so Deon's naked blue elves then? ;D
-
No, they're also frothing at the mouth.
And yeah, Duergar are literally just the dwarven equivalent of Drow.
I think Dweomer, the "dwarves" from Morrowind (they were actually taller than wood elves, and supposedly were named by giants) would be a good name for a dwarven sorcerer class.
-

The Morrowind dwarves were called Dwemer. Dweomer is literally dwarf-magic out of Norse mythology, so it would definitely be a good name for a dwarf sorcerer-caste.
-
Dwemer is more commonly used, but there are a few instances of 'Dweomer' which I decided I liked more. Possibly they changed the name part way through development and didn't fix all the names, or Dweomer was their 'proper' name and Dwemer was a degradation thereof.
-
going back to the discussion of grey goblins VS green goblins...
which one do you think looks better?
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/goblinrecolour.jpg)
(I:E which should I use for my avatar?)
-
I prefer brown-ish goblins, but between your green and gray, I'll go with the green because the red eyes make him seem moar like undead goblin.
-
actually, it's kobolds who have yellow eyes. DF goblins are actually supposed to have red eyes,
cause their "glowtile" looks like a red quotation mark "
-
Green skin doesn't make sense, biologically wise, unless they have green blood, (copper-based blood like Spock had back in Startrek) which goblins do not have.
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.
-
But... eh... toads have green skin and red blood....
Unless I'm totally missing the point here. D:
-
Yeah in a realistic setting I'd use grey goblins. Or white ones. They look all corpsey that way.
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.
-
But... eh... toads have green skin and red blood....
Unless I'm totally missing the point here. D:
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.

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.
-
But... eh... toads have green skin and red blood....
Unless I'm totally missing the point here. D:
Camoflague; green frogs have pigments in their skin that render it bright green for camoflague purposes.
-
And who says that during some stage goblins needed camoflauge? They are kind of small, anyhow, and it's easy to imagine them being beaten up by all the football scholarship predators unless they figured out some way of outsmarting them.
(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.
-
can't throw fireballs in DF
...
yet...
-
I think the grey skin just makes the goblins look too tough.
It looks like they're made of metal or something.
I'm a fan of brown skinned goblins with a greenish tint.
Also, I imagine humans more as middle eastern looking people in DF.
I think it's because I modded them to build more in deserts.
-
I also think of DF humans as middle-easterners (saracens), probably cause the first time I got to the point where the humans were sending me dipmlomats, I got one who always wore a turban and had a kind of easter sounding name (Iwa Inkulur). He was a pretty nice guy.
-
I see the humans as somewhat dirty, leather wearing europeans, I guess.
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.
-
Well, demons can throw fireballs...
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.
-
Perhaps in the future, civilizations will develop their own culture and wear a specific set of clothing pieces and have a favored kind of weapon.
...Just as soon as it becomes unlikely that said set of clothing/armor will only include one item. ::) It would be... distressing... to see an entire civilization that views anything more than a cloak as overdressing.
-
going back to the topic of different dwarf cultures...
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/dorfs.jpg)
see if you can guess which one is which.
-
Standard, Dwarrow, Demiurg and dweomer.
-
Maybe the Demiurg could be those that live in the deserts and other arid regions, standard would be your usual mountain dwarves, Dwarrow would be the hill and plainsdwarves (representing non-mountain forts as said before), and the Duergar the deep dwarves and representing those forts who choose to cut off contact from the surface world.
-
Standard, Dwarrow, Demiurg and dweomer.
actually the words I used were standard, dwarrow, Duergar and Demiurg
-
Mountain Dorf. Dwarrow, Deurgar, Demiurg. in that order.
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.

A bit belated, but:
"Svartalv" (Or Svartalf) is swedish (danish/norwegian too i think, though spelling varies there) for Dark Elf.
Svart: Black
Alv/Alf: 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).
-
I don't know why people are trying to sort every race into different civ 'types'.
If that kind of thing ever happens in DF it should happen in worldgen, not be arbitrarily set at the beginning.
-
Inspiration for artwork, man.

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).

Just to touch back on Skin appearance with the goblins (and more generally).
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.

Well, I've never been a very active fan-artist for any subject at all, but plenty of time fooling around with my dorfs has made me want to give drawing them a go. I'm not particularly good at drawing people, so the proportions are... not good... but it's something.
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/mistervix/dorf.png)
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.

I'm sharing my thoughts on how I think gobbos should be ( as discussed earlier)
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.
(http://i47.tinypic.com/2rz4bqw.jpg)
-
I'd think that green would fit elves more than goblins. Chloroplasts and all. But this kind of tint is really nice.
-
With all the goblinoid discussion I figured I'd scribble something like what I picture goblins as in my head.
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/mistervix/gobbo.png)
Got sick of coloring it and skimped a bit, I had intended to give it darker gray spots as well, but I have to press so hard on this rather insensitive tablet to get it to color worth anything my hand hurt too much to finish them.

Oh thanks, man.
why do you use such "dirty" lines and dots here and there, it's kinda pixelated even?
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
some kind of example or something:
(http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z250/Yperit/caves.png)
I call it "Down by the Caveriver"
Oh and I love the artistic interpretations of df-goblins. I personally don't picture them as anything when I think about them (Yeah I'm weired like that) but some of them look damn convincing.
-
it's mostly like.. draw a line... looks bad.. UNDO... draw again.. looks bad.. UNDO.. draw again.. until it looks good.
I consider myself a decent artist, and this is the ultimate secret of the craft.

Actually the ultimate secret of the craft is to not do that.
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.
-
that's true, Neruz. I generally start with the rough shape of the body and clothes in pencil, then go over that in pen using a more detailed approach. the colouring stage (on the computer) is where I alter the fine details.
I BARELY EVER ERASE
sometimes If something is drastically wrong I'll start over rather than erase.
-
Ya; usually the hardest part for a new artist to to leave that mistake alone and keep going with the piece. It seems counter intuitive to most people.
-
I'd like to use a tablet in conjunction with something like GIMP. It'd be a change from using a pencil and paper.
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.
-
Kind of looks like a ?female? goblin.
Yes. So hawt...
I dunno since there's no breasts, but whos to say that goblins don't biologically actually have mammary glands (breasts). The figure is feminine in general though. I'd think male goblins would be somewhat heavier muscled.

-
You forgot to make the rest of the body feminine......
-
yeah I didn't do that.
The pants and armour are either too billowy or too restrictive to show body shape properly.
Also, I don't think there's much of a difference physically, besides subtler body shapes (hourglass figures?) and the absence or presence of certain features.
-
I'd probably give the female goblins more prominant cheekbones and slightly smaller waists. Nothing major, but just enough to give a suggestion of 'not maleness'.
-
Yeah, If I'm gonna actually put some effort into a female goblin drawing, I'd proabably do that too, rather than just edit boobs onto a drawing not originally intended to have them.
That pic was done more as a joke than a serious comparison study.
-
Also those boobs are either really saggy, or coming out of the bottom of the rib cage for some inexplicable reason :P
-
Agrees with Neruz...
-
coming out of the bottom of the rib cage for some inexplicable reason :P
yeah I noticed that too. The leather chest piece was the only area that could be easily modified. If I had altered the area above that I would have had to redraw all the complicated folds in the red neck cloth.
Also those boobs are really saggy
Or, you know, female goblins could haglike in their form, so that might actually be accurate. eww.

Well, yes you do that to... Guess I don't actually think that much of what I'm doing, I just do, and it comes out well. Upon thinking I think I generally try to leave errors be when skeching, but on inking I want few, perfect, clean lines so i undo a lot.

Actually, I believe imps are genderless, although you can mod them to have them as I've heard of people modding them to breed.

I've stirred up some kind of hornets nest by asking if that goblin was female.
Keep up the good work fault, but you know, from the way you draw goblins, they seem to be smaller than dwarves, which is kind of incorrect since IIRC they are an entire size larger than them.
Like a race of green midgets with saggy boobs.

accordin' to the raw files dwarves and goblins are both size 6 (unless I'm misenterpreting what IIRC means). my Goblins look smaller than dwarves because they have terrible posture.

I think, give the female some more prominent cheekbones and you might be on to something.

(beating dead horses is FUN)
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.
I'll try to illustrate this at some point I believe(sorry.no crappy ps painting), with normal pencils and paper, where I am much better at than digital drawings.
-
I like the look of the female goblin face in that last image. Im having difficulty with the body pick, then again, it might be because you intentionally posed it with a strait back to better show proportions. would love to see one posed properly with poor posture and all that, seeking the blood of some fisherdwarf not paying attention (seemingly my only losses to goblins any more in early forts.)

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.
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/steve.jpg)
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.

He also has a rockin' beard.
-
He also has a rockin' beard.
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.
-
The thing is; a full on Dwarven beard looks rediculous on an Elf, but that sort of little goatee actually looks pretty awesome on an Elf, but makes them look more human rather than more dwarfy.
A dwarfy Elf shouldn't have a beard, i don't think you'd be able to get a dwarfy beard on an Elf and have it look sensible.

Hey, was playing dwarf fortress and my armorer went moody, made this shoe. Since DF is ASCII, I don't get to see it. Anyone want to try drawing it?
It's called Ashsevers the Decisive Strifeful Shade.

I think a dwarfy elf could pull off one of those big, poofy sideburns looks.

Do all elves need straight hair? Or can some have curly hair?
-
its suppsoed to be a dwarf I believe
-
i would think waves would be the extent of the curliness of elf hair. curls get stuck in branches way to easy.
-
Are you sure? An elf with an afro would be really frickin' cool.
-
Plus curly hair is 'cute', so unless you're going for pixie style Elves, it's not really all that appropriate, Elves generally being depicted as cool and beautiful in a superior way, rather than cute.
-
I was thinking of DF elves as being more feral, so short sticking out in every direction, to long and unkempt with various forest refuse in it (twigs, leaves, pine cones, etc.) and I know having long strait hair that it graps every low hanging branch it can find, and if it wasn't strait, I would probably be bald. dreds would also be a viable option.
-
Yeah, but that makes their insults sting less if they all look like homeless people.
-
Not homeless, that would imply they don't carry it well, more animalistic and wild, like the feeling you get when you are looking at a bear or some other large predator in the wild.
-
So kind've like a proud barbarian race?

more like actual lions tigers and bears then Humans emulating lions tigers and bears.

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?

Balathustrius, great pic :D. Ignore Legolord, he's just being an ass because your dwarf has no beard :). I see nothing wrong in this picture. It's much more "tame" than my nekkid elf.

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

Well, I guess the demon could just be eating her. Or maybe just squeezing her to break all her bones and rupture all her organs for the purpose of killing her. Killing people just because is pretty depraved.

Pity it doesn't anymore... probably cause we don't have magma rivers now, just pipes...
I have no idea. I never played 2d version.

Boatmurdered: those damned elves are finally gonna get what they deserve.
I see many things wrong with these pictures.
The Xbow dwarves shoot slower than that, clothing is only one kind of brackets, natural walls don't look like that when bloodied.
Can you explain to me what is with the green highlighted elf, and the tiles directly next to him, and what the hell is with the lava!?
And downward ramps don't point that way.

Hawkfrost; thanks. All drawing takes is practice and observation, which is to say you totally could.
Idiom; well, I've trying to learn art for about 4 years, no art-school or anything. Not much to tell. :)
Petra; thanks a ton!
Thanks for the nice comments, guise. I took that sketch into Painter and tried to make it colorful.

It looks a lot different from the original. Don't know if that's good or bad.

Still, nice pic though.

Boatmurdered! A tentacle demon escaped and is currently manifesting corrupt intentions on a liason. That makes a quite a mess, y'know? A great white mess... The other two elves are about to commit suicide by lava.

I'm guessing he's being taken to the butcher's shop, but butcher's use meat cleavers, not woodcutting axes.

Wherever he's being taken he doesn't really like it.
I think that elite axe-dwarves should technically be the ones most suitable for dragon hauling duty. :P

I just love how elves have facilities for textiles and zoos full of animals and wooden (useless) weapons, and yet they, for all of their worthlessness, yell at dwarves for having cut down a tree.

Maybe once the new version comes out, we can send caravans to THEIR homes, and make them say insulting things as they try to negotiate for precious precious sun berries.

Negotiating? With elves? ;D
There's a synonym for this. Let me give you a hint. It starts with 'M' and ends with 'AGMA'.

It wouldn't be economically sound to build a hundred mile long magma-duct to an elven retreat for the sole purpose of gaining some bargaining leverage on their cloth and berries.
It would be flippin' awesome though.

Oh wait, that would be a dwarven occupation of an elven territory. Never mind negotiating: we're subjugating then.

As I said earlier I wanted to illustrate my views on the gobbos, and possibly the kobolds too.
I ended up with two A4 pages with sketches and notes to myself, and since I am so lazy I didn't really bother refining it.
warning: bad writing is bad.
GOBBO
(http://i46.tinypic.com/33vc3es.jpg)
As you can see I went with my previous design of a kind of shell like skin on the head, ending in a beak. I have the dread-ish hair too.
down to the left is a kind of height comparison for myself regarding the different races.
Most of what's left to say, I have already said before.
Kobold
(http://i46.tinypic.com/29qigbt.jpg)
I've always imagined the kobold as a sort of sub-species derived from the goblin race, or that they are both descended from some kind of troll like creature.
I've also imagined them as a rapid evolving race much like the kroot, but in a different way.
They adapt to their environment fast, as their mutation rate is far higher than any other
half-intelligent race, or intelligent for that matter.
If you want to know something, or if you can't understand my runic writing you can just pm me or something.
-
Because I'm far too impatient, when I was looking around your diagram of the mace, I saw "Wooden Handle, metal lump on top" and I kept looking around for "Explosives on the inside" as I thought it was an old german-style grenade when I first saw it.
I really do like your Goblins though, but I think it's a crying shame that they're as tall as dwarves. I mean, I always mentally pictured them as being slightly tall, like green humans.
Are Elves and humans the same size? I forget.
-
just because two things are the same size doesn't mean they're the same height or length
and elephant and a whale are not the same length, but in DF they're the same size.

speaking of elves...
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/svart.jpg)
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.
He doesn't ahve a big sword though, not enough room for it.
-
The kobold looks wrong too me, too human-like.
As far as I know the kobolds is supposed to look humanlike, with beaks or dog-like mouths.
But then again, my opinion, right?
What do you want a kobold to look like? Just wondering.
-
The kobold looks wrong too me, too human-like.
Kobolds are humanoid, but, that's a bit too human-like, and I prefer the kobolds to be a different species of humanoids, not a sub-species.

in terms of culture I'm thinking they'd take all the chaotic and violent aspects of DF elves, but with none of the rules or nature respect. After all, he is wearing dismembered pieces of trees and animals.

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.

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.
-
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 have to echo Armok's sentiments here. That's the most heartwarming thing I've ever seen in DF.
...Which is a bit odd.
And Fault, nice picture. Though his clothes remind me of Fable. Where'd you get the name from? It sounds familiar...
-
Trowe actually comes from the old Irish word for "troll" or "goblin" but in describing a creature the word actually fits violent elves better than trolls.
I got it from BARD'S TALE, which takes place in mythical Ireland.

That -1 damblock will do that for you.
-
just throwing this out there:
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/ELFs.jpg)
its a size comparison.
-
You should give the Sylvan elf a make-over.
He doesn't look like the tree-hugging animal friend that the sylvan elves are supposed to be.
The others are great though.
-
you're right, Ein. the Sylvan was originally just a drawing of a generic elf.
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.
-
Maybe the Tuatha isn't shorter, but rather he is stockier and drawn out of scale with the others.
-
Hmm, currently I'm questioning when Armok started to like kobolds, was it during the time of the Kobold Quest?
-
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.
...not that that's bad.
-
What's your next pic Fault? I must say I like your brand of creativity.
-
Thanks for asking! :)
I dunno, I'm thinking of taking after Deon and starting a webcomic on SmackJeeves. You know, tie some story to all my random drawerings.
I've also been encouraged to do more stuff in a realistic, graphite pencil style.
-
Deon has a webcomic?!
Anyway, looking forward to it.
-
yeah there's a link to it in Deon's signature. It's a graphic adaptation of BOATMURDERED!
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.

He looks like he provides other elves with tech support.
"I don't know why they keep dumping magma on you. Try bringing them more rope reed cloth."

Hey Fault! Those elves are great. I hope to see a makeover of Sylvan soon :D.
Yeah I grabbed the first hosting as an experiment and didn't check SmackJeeves' contents, but I must say that there're a few good comics, but they are rare.
In any case, I hope to see more from you, your style will make sure you're popular.

On the map, rather than label them as outlanders, you should've labeled them as utlänning.

Probably because it was to be expected. What really surprised me is that Trowe are Canadians.

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.
-
I don't see them as primitive, or furless, they are just as primitive as the humans who don't dwell in the caves.
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.
-
Here's a picture of a goblin.
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.

I wuv gobos pictures.
By the way, Armok, you may find my next image nostalgic, as of now I'm in the paint.net stage, and it is a true cluster fuck!
Hey Armok, remember the flying machine... I was going to do that one part of the race with the magma gas explosion, but I wasn't up to make blue fire... and it is lacking the steam for the same reason...

Here's a picture of a goblin.

It reminded me of Emperor Palpatine. Must have been the eye. :|
Anyway, that look would fit the goblin thieves pretty well, but it's hard to imagine it laying siege to anything. Nice pic.

Well, when there is profit to be made, they will. Also goblins are, on average, not that proficient in combat. Marksgoblins are a notable exception of course.

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. I had no clue whatsoever that hooked noses or big ears were considered jewish traits, and I actually find that connection quite strange. I did not mean to insult anyone, sorry if I did.

I am resisting making the obligatory Jew-joke.
Dammit... My instinct for self defamation is overcoming my willpower... *ARGH*

I find such remarks to be without proper ground. A lot of races and nations have big noses. There must be something wrong in your country/town/family if you are so fixed on it.
Moreover, there's a lot of big-nosed dwarves in this thread and noone told something like you. You should be ashamed or at least stay quiet.
-
My nose shows my character, you sissy elves!

Well, lets move on, I can see this getting out of hand.
No offence taken from my side, I don't see a reason to discuss this any further.
Lets get back to the topic here, art! (I don't have anything to post myself at this point, but I will post something as soon as I do)

Well, at least this short blargity blarg made me to draw something. I haven't touched my pen in two weeks :D.

hey guys I got this here

another excerpt from the comic I'm working on. Posting it here first.
-
I follow your comic. Great to see it in color. Your style greatly pleases my eye, I don't know why, but I really like it.
-
thanks, Deon. I follow your comic as well, though it hasn't been updated in a while...
-
Yeah, lots of issues IRL to spend time on hobbies :(.
-
I suppose you're free to change dwarven culture as you like, but I think the correct name is Olon...
-
The beard on Olin looks a bit odd as its almost the same color as his skin, for a second I thought he had a chimp face or something.
-
that was intentional.
it is supposed to make him look like a statue.

Fell time!
-
O.o
OMFS!
I LOVE IT!
-
I wish fell moods were more common! so far I've had a bat chunk bracelet and a dwarf bone idol (he stole the bone from a grave) I've never had the ones where they kill someone.
-
- Why do you join army, Lolor?
- There's just one reason.
- You want to kill goblins?
- No.
- You want to become strong?
- No.
- You want lots of free booze?
- No.
- Why do you do it then?
- It's easy. Female wrestlers.
(http://i45.tinypic.com/dfzmyt.png)
Scattered around clothes, half-naked wrestlers, barracks are the most fun place in the fortress.
-
Deon, that fell mood picture is awesome but... no. No more giant breasts and nudity. I don't mind seeing either of those portrayed (though it's still not going to fly on this forum), but it's uncomfortably obvious that you're enjoying yourself way too much. The best way I can explain it is that you're the guy taking photos at the nudist colony.
-
Wow, I never thought of the barracks that way. But now it's always going to be at the back of my mind...
WHAT HAS BEEN SEEN
-
you uh.. might want to work on the anatomy a bit...
and fix the hand...
change the face...
in fact you could just go ahead and replace it with an entirely different picture.
..no offense
-
Oh my. :-\
-
My expression towards that sort of thing in recent months has gone from 'oh my' to 'meh'.
But really, nobody wants it, Deon.
-
"Olon Use big arm to hold down little man,
Use little arm to punch little man in face.
Olon need not armor! Olon Champion! Olon is Smashing Incest of Rainbows! RUGHHHHHHHHHOUHAOUO!"
that is what I heard when looking at that image.
-
OLON SMASH
yeah.. except at least the comic book hulk kept his pants on
-
I think everyone forgot about paint pictures like that with a ms paint dwarf pulling a lever. Oh well, it's good.
Fault, put your comic in your sig please, it would be easier to reach this way.
P.S. No more giant breasts and nudity
Those are not giant, look in any MMORPG and it has almost same proportions. Also I don't care, unless people start to post art here and not long discussions. I want to spice the things up, in a good or in a bad manner, if you don't like it, DRAW how you don't like it, and don't dictate others what to do while you're doing nothing. This thread needs some fresh air.
And there's no nudity, everything is censored and tame :).

Santa Dwarf: The most dangerous profession in the mountainhomes:

Deon: DO NOT WANT.
If you're going to do that, come back after 4 years of art school. Then I might remove the "NOT".
-
What? You don't like tha santa? :(
-
alright Deon I put the link in my signature.
I'm almost done colouring the third page...
-
Santa? Oh sorry, no, I meant the wanna-be wanking material.
I like the Santa. He looks like a Thief XD
Also, If I offended you there, don't be. I wouldn't even dare post up any of my "art".
-
Am I the only one laughing maniacally at the responses to Deon's pictures?
-
He looks like a Thief XD
PROTECT THE HOARD FROM SKULKING FILTH!
-
Hehe. Obviously it's a disguised fire imp. Only they can climp the pipes.
Idiom: no it's not a "wanking" material and let's move on already.
-
yeah i think its best if we forget everything about that image
-
I really want to post something up here. I've done a couple, but I really don't want to when there's stuff from people like Balathustrius. He needs to do the boxart or something.
-
I picture Dwarf Fortress being sold in a plastic sandwich bag on a floppy disk with, at best, instructions printed from a dot-matrix printer on that continuous feed paper with the perforated strips of holes down both sides.

Begging your pardon, gentle, but I actually did find the picture of the naken dwarf woman amusing. It was like: HAH! Nice abs...

Ugh, I think a more judicious use of ye'ol censor stickers (http://images1.cafepress.com/product/40623971v1_225x225_Front.jpg) would have been more welcome. As it is, I will cry myself to sleep tonight as that image haunts me.
To be fair to Deon, as it stands it isn't much worse than visiting a beach for the unjustifiably over confident... though he is pushing "what is acceptable" a bit I think.
-
Bah! No true champion of the Mountainhomes would be caught dead without her beard! I have used my awesome powers of amateur-level Gimp skill to fix Deon's slanderous image.

-

Trees are animate though.
Also, they're probably just stoned.
Also, there are two ways an elf gets stoned: smoking pot and visiting the dwarves.
-
I still think they should be paranoid and high strung.
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.
-
Better: Sylvans hate rocks because for whatever reason, they don't hallucinate about rocks talking to them. Maybe smoking rope reed lets them actually commune with plants (and other living things that aren't sentient or evil), to a very limited degree, although plants don't likely have much to say.
"Rocks are so harsh, dude! I fell over and hit my head on one, and it didn't even say sorry! he just kept staring at me."
-
so they smoke rope reed to commune with nature? Interesting idea.
but don't you think the plants would be a bit pissed that the elves burned their brethren?
-

Rope Reed begs for death, the elves take pity apon them.
-
Umm... when Rope reed grows, the stalks (which are lined with tiny seeds at the edges) die before the winter. In the spring, the dead rope read is decayed and the seeds grow with nutrients from the resulting detritus. Rope reed for smoking is harvested just before the new crop grows, as a mold (the psychoactive ingredient) grows during winter on the reeds. This dead matter is what is smoked. Since the elves eat their dead brethren, this should fall right within their moral code of using the ingredients nature leaves them.
...in other words, it's elf-kosher.
-
how'd you find out so much about rope reed?
NO DWARF GROWS OUTDOOR PLANTS! SPECIALLY NOT ELVEN ONES!
..well, maybe sunberries, they make a fine liquor
-

So, they only grow overground plants to add certain flavor notes in their drinks.
-
Ah, of course, it's all the time of harvesting that makes them elven. For rope, you harvest it right before the stalks fall.
...and who says you can't be dwarfy overland? Everyone knows that sunberries taste the strongest when grown in a thick layer of vomit!

She has sketchy fingers :). I drew it in, like, 5-7 min because I am recently short on time. I should stop drawing wrong anatomy stuff in short periods of time, because it looks unfinished and wrong :P.
Fault: Awesome. With colors it's even more vivid. I hope to see next one :). And I wish I had time to finally color 3 pages I drew. Well, whatever, I am just organizing myself wrong. I've never been time-efficient.
P.S. Also, what's up with these STUDDED bands of leather hanging from his loincloth? Other than that, cool Sylvan.
P.P.S. I could redrew him to look how I picture them, but I won't because I would get another wall of "we don't want it" replies :P.
-
The elven farming talk is interesting, but get me suspicious about where people are getting the info from...
-
Here's an elven guard. I decided to postpone my work a bit and draw something:
(http://i46.tinypic.com/fyinf6.png)
He wields a wooden sword, but it looks more like a police baton, and it cuts as well as one. Also he wears an artifact wooden gauntlet. Sadly moody crafters create only one during their mood. Probably they lack determination to finish the pair.
Also... An abomination! A dwarf and elf hybrid!
(http://i49.tinypic.com/zwalb5.jpg)
-
Um, that elf guard... the background...
-
What background? I often place my own pics in a toned down manner on BG when I don't have time or don't want to draw something. I don't like when there's no background at all.
-
The dwarf/elf hybrid looks like a heavily bearded vulcan, although I don't think the vulcans even have facial hair. Not even Spock, himself half
elf Vulcan, doesn't show any signs of facial hair.
-
now that I think about it, and Elf/Dwarf hybrid (dwarlf?) would look a lot like a human.
taller than a dwarf, harier than an elf, the perfect balance of litheness and stoutness.
I don't know what their ears would look like though, cause right now I draw dwarves with small, rounded, kinda rodent-like ears.
-
Not realy, due to the [stout] nature of dwarves, even though taller a Dwalf would be and appear shorter due toe its proportions and broadness. that being said, in a physical (sexual) relationship, the Dwaven partner would have to take special care not to accidentally break his/her elven partner. That coupled with the differentiating manner of reproduction (Spores vs pollon) I find it highly improbable that a hybrid could form.The most likely creation of such an abomination would be ta a) Apply science, rigorously or, b) Magicks of the foulest variety.
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.
-
I thought that [STOUT] of dwarves plus [NARROW] of elves would result in a human-like constitution.
P.S. Also for a beard: even if it grows very slow, the increased lifespan would allow it to be pretty thick.
-
no, goblins are [NARROW], elves are [LARGE], apparently.
also here's a troll:
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/troll.jpg)

That troll looks a bit fragile.

I still see trolls in the FF1 way;

Only in my mind their hair hangs in their face, so all you can see is darkness with two glowing yellow eyes.
-
The elven farming talk is interesting, but get me suspicious about where people are getting the info from...
I pulled it out of my ass. It could be contradicted at any time if Toady fleshes it out more, but right now all we truly know is that rope reed is a reed that's good for making ropes and Sun Berries make a great beer. But come on, use your ASCIImagination!

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.

Hey my sig says that the elves will be armed with animals of every-kind ( expect carp skirmishers ) .
But the wooden fort has to be a huge ass tree, or huge ass trees that are growing into eachother/melding together.
The elves have their fancy drinks, but dwarves have aqua vitae ( spirits of alcohol ) , heh, double brewed alcohol concentrate!
-
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.

P.S> Apparently, if df trolls were like yours, they'd be short distance runners. Speed:500 anyone? Hehe, good stuff, Fault.
-
yeah it's not a DF troll, those are bulkier and slower and don't have as many fingers.
It's actually a design for trolls who will appear later in mah webcomic. They're supposed to be a sort of biblical iterpretation of giants, the "nephilim", which are the monstrous offspring of fallen angels and mortal men.
A good pair for my elven druidess :D.

Export heightmaps?
-
I want to know too.
-
Yeah, but it has a texture of "normal" map applied :P. I want to rotate it right now :D.
-
Could've exported the heightmaps, then created a render based on those maps, texturing it with the exported game map. Alternatively, he might've made a script based on exported heightmaps that maps different vanilla textures to areas of certain height (ie, high areas get the "mountain" tiles, etc).
-
A good pair for my elven druidess :D.
I am mildly disturbed by the implications of this message.
Hur hur hur.
-
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.

Ok, this isn't strictly FANart but whatevs, it was fun to make.
:o
That... is just amazing. Beyond Quality...
-
You guys want a tutorial or something?
-
I'm not sure how many would actualy use it, but some kind of explanation of what exactly you did and what programs you used would be intresting.
-
First I exported the heightmap (with oceanfloors) and general map in Legends.
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).

I was really busy this weekend and didn't have a lot of time for drawing...
but I managed to get a new page of my comic up, and I'm working on colouring the sylvan pic.
-
Epic stuff, Fault.
-
holy crap, vester's back. all the people at your doodle forum had thought you died in a flood or something.
thanks for your comment; I am looking forward to your resumed contributions to the forums.
-
They thought that the last time I disappeared too, hehe.
You're welcome. It's good stuff.
-
really? did they think it was a flood that time too, or some other disaster?
-
No, the first time there was an actual flood. I disappeared because of a combination of depression and volunteer work.
This time was slightly... worse.
-
Hey Vester, was wondering where you had dissapeared off to, yea. Welcome back :)
The first time was because of that hurricane (or typhoon as you call it in the pacific I think) in the Phillippines I believe.
-
i'm working on colouring a page of my webcomic. here's my progress.
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/humans.jpg)
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.
-
Can I suggest Graven Halls as a similar, more creative title?
Or perhaps simply Effigies, if not already taken. It describes to stolid dwarven personality well.
-
you might be on to something there with how the comic has gone so far.
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?
-
I had to smile at "Urist, you're playing into a stereotype" :)

@Chronoplasm: Cool pic bro!
@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.
-
you're apsolutely right, sensei. The story is what is most important.
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.
IF ONLY I COULD REMOVE THE "welcome to" PART >:(

Oooooh, now I TOTALLY gotta try that...

shiny.
-
How big is the kilobyte limit, exactly?
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'.

This had made me decide that 'tis a shame we can't actually decorate our dwarves' equipment with skulls yet.

where did he get those itty bitty skulls?
-
Cats. Lots of cats.

Or gremlins. They look a little humanoid.

Actually, I think it is a 'she.' Those skull decorations are to honor all her kids she used as meat shields.

Of course if we are talking about non-DF dwarfs, that could be correct, otherwise canon female dwarfs don't have beards.

Beards are facial hair. Facial. You don't have beards in your armpits, do you?
I know what you were implying just now, and it is just wrong. Horribly, horribly wrong, and should be forgotten. >:(
Anyway, DF doesn't have canon on the beard/no beard issue. The beards are included in the raws, they just don't have brackets. So it's easy to switch them on or off.
Funny pic there, Sensei ;D. Thumbs up.

what I find weird about the new costume is that I designed him wearing gloves and sandals. His hands are covered, but his feet are not. hmm.
anyway off to drawing a big, violent beard-tank.

Female Dwarves in the next version of DF do not have beards. Toady has repeatedly stated that he doesn't think female dwarves have beards. The DF canon is pretty clear on the matter.

Yea well, in most or just about all fantasty stuff that I've read where female dwarves do appear, they don't have beards.

Who cares.
Like I said- we can put beards on anything.

Beard Golems?

Yes indeed, there can be beard golems, spawned from torn off dwarven beards.

Sounds like a awesome art project.

what about artemis fowl dwarves?
sure, they dig.. but they do it by unhinging their jaws and chewing through the soil. Which they then eject from their rears as compressed stone. also, they have prehensile beards and glowing saliva.
-
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.

And they never have any female dwarves, so no real way to compare.

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.

or at least the movie of LOTR said they did...

I got the books minus the SIlmarillion, although I've read half of it.
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...
-
Females of any species are barely mentioned in Tolkien's books. I do recall it being stated that it is difficult for non-dwarves to tell male and female dwarves apart, which would imply that they have beards, but I don't know where if anywhere in the books that is.
-
Well, I remember reading a fantasty book which did have some female dwarves, and even a female warrior dwarf. I don't remember what book it was, Eragon maybe?
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.
-
Anyways, yea, female dwarves are barely represented in fantasty.
As mentioned already, female dwarfs are definitely represented in the Discworld novels. One of the books makes the politics of Dwarfish gender identity a major issue.

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.

Nice touch with the beard just about where the trunk should be.

Inside the tank is a water wheel and a screw pump linked together. And some magma just to be extra dwarfy.

The new update is going to include custom workshops. This will inevitably lead to the cat reactor. Feed cat into it, get 40 power. Put new cat in once current cat dies.

I've been working with tempera and water colours, which lend themselves to a more realistic style, so I went with a pale yellow-brown for the skin rather than the usual green.

The green is NOT usual! The skin color is cool.
And I freaking love the googles. Great job!

if there's one problem I have with it, it's that his cigar just seems to be floating next to his head.
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.

You are infinitely more patient with watercolor than I am, Fault.

I'd just say it's a cannon. It works.

I've been trying to fix the whole "my characters don't have pupils" thing. so far it's worked, 'cept for that fifth panel down there.
Actually I think its an interesting quirk that identifies your style and work, so long as you put enough expression in the area around the eye and the brow it should work.
-
I was going to say, you could just keep doing that- or save it for a signature facial expression, or just decide that some races don't have pupils. I'd have to say most of your work wouldn't look as good with pupils added in (esp. the goblins). Not that you couldn't just try to add them in in the first place of course.
-
I'm in the process of deciding which races have pupils and which ones don't.
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.
-
The humans, of course, need to have pupils. goblins and elves, not so much. Not sure about half-elves though.
Make it vary from individual to individual. Maybe have some with pupils in only one eye, who have really fucked up vision.
-
so he'd be half-elf half-human... vertically?
-
"You see, this is my Elf side, and this is my Human side. It makes sense, really!"
-
I didn't think of it that way, more of them just being a mutant.
Now suppose he had a human kidney and an elven kidney. Okay, not truly dramatic material, but just ponder it. Would he be debilitated? Able to eat just about anything? Who knows.
-
These are great ideas, in spite of the, er obvious flaws... (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouFailBiologyForever)
William and Josef's travel group includes some half-elves (and possibly half-dwarves?) so I should probably figure out a good appearance standard for them.
I appreciate your contribution to the creative process.
-
Will you be taking any other sort of creative liberties with the source material Fault? Like adding the mod-only Orcs? Or anything like that?
-
...obvious flaws... (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouFailBiologyForever)
In my defense, I'm fairly sick right now. Sometimes the best ideas are in a field of bad ones.
-
the comic does not actually take place in vanilla dwarf fortress. I draw a lot of inspiration from dwarf fortress,which is why I'm posting some of the more dwarfy art from it here, but the comic world is not entirely based in the dwarf fortress canon.
I suppose you could say it takes place in a heavily modded world on a version of DF from the far-flung future... but mostly it is a world of my own conception.
so to answer your question, yes.
-
Groovy.
-
I'm thinking of maybe opening a topic in creative projects for any who want to follow my comic or contribute creatively (whether through guest strips, help on world-building or suggestions on how to MAKE IT BETTER) but I'll probably wait until I have more strips. You know, when there's enough content for a discernible plot to form.

"It was said by Gimli that there are few dwarf-women, probably no more than a third of the whole people. They seldom walk abroad except at great need. 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.
RK, 360 (App A)"
Thus, dwarven females have beards.
-
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.

Do you know what you just started by posting that pic?!? remember what happened last time!

What? I don't get it. It's a goblin, everybody draws goblins. Is there some prejudice against me on these forums now?
The only difference is that I prefer to draw female species, but I don't see a problem here. Learn feminism :).

The last time the comment was "Um, that elf guard... the background..." by Armok. What's up?
Also. NOOOOO! I've just noticed it: you've made me to draw a green goblin!!! This community starts to corrupt me! Get out of my head! Goblins are grey! :(
-
Learn feminism :).
Oh god.

Sorry, it was wrong :). Sometimes you try to say something funny but it appears to be silly instead. 6 AM helps it.

I'm just saying, you might wanna brush up a bit on anatomy and proportion.
that's not a big problem with your elf, but that goblin just looks.. a bit too.. mannish...
Learn feminism :).

I can clearly not choose the goblin in front of me
-
Yeah yeah.
Also goblin's anatomy is OK for me. It's a non-human anatomy I wanted to draw, so it's supposed to be like that.
I can clearly not choose the goblin in front of me
Can you explain? I can imagine only one situation with a goblin in front of me, and I hope it's not the thing you mean.
-
It's just that, you know... days don't get THAT cold.
Also, hooves?
-
Yeah. Non-canon :D. As I told. Don't ask me why I wanted this anatomy and hooves. It's 6:30 AM and I haven't slept for the whole night. Hillarity is ensured.
-
IDK, I think you have to be more then tired to draw that, wth are you taking?
-
Well, I did a goblin with hooves back on the Engraver's Guild thread (unedited pencil sketch), and some vague memory of seeing that might have triggered his idea to give it hooves (probably a good way to mark it as non-canon, seeing as how DF is ascii and most physical features described allow for somewhat broad interpretations)
Now, why my goblin had hooves is another story entirely. One that would take awhile to explain. Suffice to say it did not have some of the other . . . features Deon's had.
-
IDK, I think you have to be more then tired to draw that, wth are you taking?
Hehe, I take exams :D. Mostly I slack trying to prepare for them though. It helps to do crazy things.

Heh, thanks :). Also, cart of gophers is funny :).
Petra: it was supposed to be female, but now when you say it... Damn. It's not what I meant, guys.
Bralbaard: The pose and the look of that dungeon master is awesome. Also all the little pets add to this. I hope you ink and color it, it should be a masterpiece.
-
Hot damn, that dungeon master is sweet. I hope Toady solves the problem of dungeon masters not having their crazy quirks anymore by having people with crazy quirks likely to become dungeon masters. Because I want the dude with small animals crawling all over him to be my dungeon master.

Deon, can you draw a non-DD female?

A challenge that every artist must one day face!

Make her triple G, with a round tummy. :) & :P

Deon, can you draw a non-DD female?
I prefer DnD.
Also, do you have some problem with it? If so, I am sorry, I didn't mean to touch someone's complexes :D.
It's just another example of how "fixed" some people are. Obviously the main accent on this pic is the elephant and there's nothing wrong with it, but people start to criticize minor parts which are not in any way related to the main theme. Oh well, people are "fixed" beings "_".
Also, Merry Christmas for all who celebrate it :).
P.S. Also the cat is female too and it has size 1 abs, so you the answer is "yes, I can".

Some peeps on this thread have some serious issues with certain parts of anatomy.
Nice pics, Deon. Keep 'em coming!
-
Thank you. And I guess I will just *spoiler* my pics later, so those who do not like my style could save their nerves :).
-
Dude, I told you. Some things are more distracting when slightly larger than normal than some giant thing that's relatively normal sized. Like that elephant; that's probably a normal sized elephant. The lady? Distractingly above the norm in, ah, size. Plus, the armor looks designed to draw attention.
So the focus, however you didn't intend it, became the lady. That's all there is too it.
-
And I am OK with that. As I told, if someone won't like it this way, they will simply ignore my spoilered pic :).
-
hey guys, its a female warrior mounted on an elephant.
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/elephantcavalry.png)
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...)
-
From one extreme to the other.
-
Fault, I absolutely love it.
-
While Deon's looks mostly ornamental (as in, something you'd see in a dwarven parade), the second looks like an actual female warrior riding a diseased zombie elephant.
Me likes.
-
I like it too! The woman is too young to be a warrior though, but in DF world even children have to fight.
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.
-
I like it too! The woman is too young to be a warrior though, but in DF world even children have to fight.
I hope you're joking.
-
It doesn't look much less than 20. 17 at least (which in DF is considered adult, I'm fairly certain).
-
Well. I consider it by complexion, she looks like she's ~13. I don't know where you see such slim girls in 20, probably it's location-related.
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 she does kinda have man hands...
i should get more reference of femenine hands from that angle...
-
Damn ethnicity stricks again!
Also I love enjoy am neutral to the elephant riders.

Hehe, here's a 1 min crappy sketch of a magma-powered elephant :D.

You can tell because she doesn't have knockers the size of her head. Duh.
-
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.
-
Dunno, my athletic sister disagrees :). I think it's too personal and there're too many factors for a constitution so we can't "decide" it.
Anyway I was awake the whole night, but I have an idea for an awesome pic I am going to draw tomorrow oh wait, it's already "tomorrow" 10 AM... I mean this evening when I wake up ^_^.
-
I heard that happens to long-term highly active women, and may get reversed by babys <.> Then again you could have them and be highly active, even up to being moderately muscular... to a point anyway.
>.> <.< what are you looking at?
>.>O=<.< BAM!
>.x ^.^ serves you for stare'n.
-
20 years is a good age to get babies, thus I was suspicious about that girl. Nevermind then.
BTW Fault, I want you to draw more elephants :D. They are scary and cool.
-

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.
-
Actually i find Fault's style to be pretty detailed. The skin features and clothing details he adds by additional lines and strokes do not look like they are there to fill the place, but rather like a texture or necessary details.
Carpfest, I need to sleep :(. I am slacking here again. See you in few hours :D.
-
thank you for your compliments about my 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? ???
-
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.
-
yes, but what if they needed to be able to aim the bow with both hands?
...I know it doesn't make sense, but WHAT IF?!
-
That makes even less sense than you think.
-
What about dual-wielding the bows? :)
how can you tell her complexion when the picture hasn't been coloured yet? ???
Sorry I meant constitution/build. "Complektsya" in russian which comes from "complexion" means "constitution". I guess it's a bad example of transliteration.
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.
-
Faults elephant rider is awesome.
-
With Fault's blank eyes, you can never tell the age.
-
what the heck do the eyes have to do with the age? ???
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.
-
Armor also tends to hide a figure a good bit. Women don't want armor that accentuates anything, it would catch weapons and cause rather painful hits. Women in real armor tend to look just like men in armor, for the most part. Even chain mail tends to squish things in a way that de-accentuates even well endowed women. So I think Fault's picture is very well done.
-
what the heck do the eyes have to do with the age? ???
Everything. I'm a pretty good age-guesser, and it's all in the eyes.
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.
-
you'd be surprised how fast something's eyes turn white once it dies............ in Biology, the frogs we dissected, their eyes were white after only 30 minutes after they were killed... kinda scary really, though not as scary as the epic looking elephant!
-
That elephant is rather awesome I`d say.
-
I wish I had a scanner. Then I'd post pics too. :'(
-
Draw them by hand :D. We want YOU in Fan Art army! :)
-
I wish I had a scanner. Then I'd post pics too. :'(
I am also in this boat. My attempts using pure digital media just suck.
-
I find it takes me a whole lot more time to draw digitally than it does to draw on paper and then scan it. That's why only about three of my comic pages have been coloured yet. It's a tedious process.
-
don't you use a tablet?
-
HMMM. you might be on to something there.
I do have a tablet, but i never thought of using it to colour before.....

Still awaiting inspiration. It can be months between drawings for me, simply because I can sit there for hours, pencil at paper and draw nothing, but one day I'll draw something moderately cool and moderately big in an hour or two.

I tried that. The problem is i used to scan in my pics and clean them up a little in GIMP, so the lighting issues from using a camera cause me excessive consternation.
I've actually got a couple images kicking around the forum already, from when i had access to a scanner.

Trees are treated very similary to constructions; they're indestructible, fire, magma, nothing hurts them except a dwarf with an axe and the woodcutting labour.

He also could have had a channel filled with magma with ramps or stairs leading into or out of it, and the the zombies went into or near the magma and were ingnited.

I'd be more worried when the Giant Cave Spidermen riding Giant Cave Spiders invade my fort.
Or hell, even normal Cave Spidermen would be pretty nightmarish. Or how about Giant Desert Scorpionmen? Those are above ground Animalmen, so Elves would team up with them.

hey guys, new page of effigies is up.
its a flashback to Olin's days living in a dwarven fortress, showing why he became the king's advisor. I've significantly improved the design of the dwarf king since the last time he appeared (in the first page)
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/kings.png)
-
I like!
Nice and, uh... line ridden.
-
I see you noticed that, hungry.
YOU SEE THERE'S A STORY BEHIND ALL THOSE LINES.
the most recent page of effigies was mostly text, and I was quite amiss as to what images should accompany the text. 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.
-
Without color, it looks less like he has bags around his eyes and more like he is trying to hypnotize me.
-
He looks like a cross between an owl and a dog.
Which is totally awesome.
-
Somehow that seems very befitting of his personality.
-
thanks. His personality is inspired by the character described in Savatage's
"hall of the mountain king" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LrQ2a7uZa4&feature=PlayList&p=E8A3A899E430FB4C&index=7&playnext=8&playnext_from=PL). he is an archaic ruler who places honour and bravery before reason and diplomacy. 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.

Oh, just a fun thing unrelated to this:
SOmehow I believe my dwarves have come up with an unique way to punish the nobles.
The two nobles in my fort have a taste for metal things, especially mugs. So far my dwarves have made three artifact magnetite tables. Magnetite is magnetic, thus it must be a real annoyance for the nobles in my fort.
-
that's win, I think armor made from magnitite should have a reduced chance of dodging, and wepons made from magnetite should have an increased chance of hitting, thus you could have a full magnetic army, think of the possiblities!!! They could climb a sheer FRIDGE!!!!
-
Well, as a reply to those who accused me to draw too "open" female armor (ever heard of berserkers, eh?) I've made this "functional" design.
What do you say now?! Haha.
(http://i47.tinypic.com/29giyaa.png)
The shield is kinda "meh", just a few strokes as a placeholder, and the sword is too bland. Because I focused on armor.
I wasn't able to color it properly due to the lack of time. I think I'll do it later.
-
Those are two very risqué gems she has there on her breast(s)plate.
Nitpicking urges aside; your drawings are very nice. ;)
-
I don't get why everyone nitpicks gems there.
Obviosly the area of nipples is raised. Obviously decorated items has gems on the most projecting parts, because otherwise there's not enough light for gems to shine (they have to). Thus I see it logical, that's all.

Hah, maybe if she didn't wear anything under that plate armor, but that'd be cold and *very* uncomfortable. And even then I'd have my doubts. :P
But don't get me wrong. I don't have anything against it, and it's your work of art.
Calling it 'logical' and 'obvious' strikes me as odd though. ;)
-
Obviosly the area of nipples is raised.
Oh yes, obviously.
-
I think it looks pretty cool actually.
I did have two minor nitpicks about the shield and the sword, but then noticed that you said its only a placeholder and the sword was just done quickly. Still, if you were going for a female guard look, the shield certainly fits as it looks like one of those police riot shields.
-
It still needs a helmet. But other than that, it's actually armor!
-

By forging the helm to have a permanent sneer on it, of course. Or possibly some cooler expression.

YOUR ARMOUR DESIGN IS IMPROVING, DEON.
still though, that wouldn't look out of place in a parade.
YOU GOTTA THINK RESOURCES, BRO. how much is it gonna cost to outfit every infantry-woman with amethyst-studded nipple-plates? and what if they fall in battle and the enemy loots their armour? thats a good ☼30000 dwarfbucks down the drain! I mean a champion with bejewelled armour might make sense, but then you still have to design more practical armour for the rest of your soldiers! Armour that intricate takes a lot of time to make. And when a vile force of darkness comes knocking on your doors, you don't wanna waste any of that time.
-
I just like to draw masterpiece/artifact armor. What fun is to draw -Adamantine Platemail- when you can draw ☼Adamantine Platemail☼? Oh wait... !!☼Adamantine Platemail☼!! for the win!
Also, the design is not improving if you mean learning, I just did it as an answer, and I drew a few pieces like that long time before.
Obviosly the area of nipples is raised.
Oh yes, obviously.
I am pretty sure that women's breasts are higher than the central part of the chest. At least it's how it works in Russia.
YOU GOTTA THINK RESOURCES, BRO.
"Russia has the world's largest reserves of mineral and energy resources, and is considered an energy superpower. It has the world's largest forest reserves and its lakes contain approximately one-quarter of the world's fresh water.".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia
I grow cedar trees in my backyard, have a bear farm and throw gems at crows which try to feed at my money trees. ;D
We have lots of HFS to mine.
Think of 16x16 embark rectangles.
-
its lakes contain approximately one-quarter of the world's fresh water.".
can't make nipple plates outta water Deon.
Although, Russia is technically in a freezing climate.. but even then, Ice is considered a stone, which can't be used for amour.
-
Hehe, there's just a northern part which is freezing. Think of steppe/desert oil and mountain minerals, I was born in a police town which is close to a mining settlement.
But it was supposed to be a joke :). You can't quote a sentence ignoring other facts btw :). I've bolded mineral resources. We have lots of demons under the Ural mountain range. :D
P.S. Stop nitpicking already and draw something awesome. Also you haven't colored your elephant rider pic yet ! >:E
-
Yeah, I've been bogged down with other stuff and haven't had a lot of art time.
The holidays put a delay on the webcomic updating, I still haven't got out last wekend's page (which I hope to get inked and scanned by the time this weekend rolls around...)
that and overall it takes me longer to get pages coloured than it does to draw and scan them...
I really need to manage my schedule better.
-
Schedule? What is schedule? ;D
Here are some quick colors and minor details to the sword:
(http://i47.tinypic.com/24pi9i0.png)
And yeah, a helmet as someone suggested. It would be a shame to be backstabbed with an axe in a head while wearing such awesome armor. ;)
-
Skintight splint-mail with all sorts of fun little projectils for weapons to get caught on. Very functional :P
-
Not everyone lives in practical-land Neruz.
Boy I'm tired.
-
OK, come on and draw something you won't criticize, and please don't use 16 px pencil tool in MSPaint.
I am OK with Fault doing it, he can draw a response. Why don't you do the same, Neruz? :)
-
Eh, it's practical enough. And there's no reason you can't draw masterpiece armor if you want to. As for the boob-jewels, I think an eccentric wearer would suffice.
But yeah, much better.
-
Neruz, I have something for you.
This is an armor which won't catch any weapons:

Click it to see the reference.
-
Gaping great eyehole.
-
I recognise that yewtoob link, so no.
By the way, general rule of thumb: If the armor is carefully sculped around the breasts, it is neither practical nor functional.
-
It's not sculped around the breasts. The breasts are much smaller due to the popular demand.
Also, greeks and romans used "anatomical" armor for a very long time.
And stop spamming the thread, draw something pompous which is functional, please :).
-
I would love to live in Practical-Land. It'd probably be great there.
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.
-
I know. I just don't get why every my picture is followed by a parade of posts about how wrong it is >.<
P.S. artsy types are just trying a bit too hard to get someone else to "DRAW THE SAME WAY WE DO"
Would it be cool if everyone drew the same way?
And I am ok with "artsy types", I just somehow dislike passer-by people who like to nitpick things :).
-
I AM CURRENTLY WORKING ON SOMETHING PRACTICAL-ARMOUR RELATED
but I'll post this, to stem the tide of art-less posts a bit.
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/muscledorf.png)
It's from a /tg/ (traditional games imageboard on 4chan) drawthread. The request was related to "dwarves playing extreme majhong". whatever that is.
-
I don't really care about whether people want to be realistic or not, but I got curious and found some examples of female armour that are actually used (they fight in it):
http://swordmaiden.com/armor/ (http://swordmaiden.com/armor/)
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.
-
The only reason i even posted about the armor functionality Deon is because you yourself said the design was supposed to be functional and then started defending the ovbious functionality flaws.
The site Spreggo digged up is a good place to start if you're interested in practical designs.
It looks like the breast plate tends to sit a bit away from the skin
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.
-
How much HFS can be found in Ural?
-
The 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".
I'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.
How much HFS can be found in Ural?
I don't know, but if I get more topics on "realism" and stuff coming out of nowhere, I will go to my homecity and dig out some Giant Cave Spidermen. And I will send them after flamers >:E
(http://i47.tinypic.com/347xv2t.png)
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).
-
Too humanoid IMO.
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.
-

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.
-
Heh, it was pretty easy for me to draw it since it's based on multiple sketches I've made for a model for a game (spiderkin)
(http://i44.tinypic.com/10r8w9u.png)
Yeah I am a dabbling 3d modeller :).
One of the replies to that model:
Dis mod needs moar pixelized boobies...
::)
And yeah, I'm not saying that the breasts are a bad thing either.
(http://i46.tinypic.com/j7qfxv.jpg)
Footkerchief
OK, 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?
-
oh Deon, another person in the drawthread was doing "dwarven Majhong" pics, and his had two overmuscled dwarves sitting around a majhong table. When they thought about what move to make next, it was accompanied by a loud "HERMMMMM......" speech bubble. I guess it's like going "hmm..." to think about something, except angrily.
Also that spiderman is a bizzare and Nightmarish creature (i assume that's what you were going for). I would reccomend changing the mouth though. too human-like, as chitinous arthropods don't really have lips.
-
The lips are intended, some kind of a pun. The mouth has 4 jaws, so that should be ok :).
-
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?
They can be used that way, yes. However, it wasn't clear that you were using them that way, for reasons I just explained:

Irony is often hard to detect in text, even in a conversation between native speakers ...
Also, for some on-topic-ness, the GCS-woman is pretty cool.
-
four jaws and one mouth?
how does that even- could you explain that a bit more?
-
OK let's get over the quotation marks, should we really do all this negotiation about nothing? I will try to be more careful next time if I feel like it, and let's get over it :).
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...
-
google searched four chaps huh.
I'm not sure I know how to respond to that.
-
OK, I meant this:
(http://inadawords.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/blade-2-reaper.jpg)
The upper part of the mouth is supposed to spread too, because of 4 chaps.
-
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?

In other words, sarcasm just doesn't transfer across the internet very well.
Edit: Didn't the worms from the Tremors movies have 4 jaws? Maybe thats what you were going for.
-
well said james.
-
I meant this:
(http://i48.tinypic.com/34t2yie.png)
-
Yea thats kind of what I was thinking of, but bigger and a bit different looking.
-
I think I've noticed the pattern. I post a pic, a Fault posts one, and then there're 2 pages of feedback. Come on, try to come up with something cool, I know most people here have drawing talent, they're just lazy. Gogogo! We have other threads to spam, we need this one to draw!
P.S. I think I know what will I do.
This one is Spider Mistress:
(http://i47.tinypic.com/347xv2t.png)
Then I will draw other demons. Then I will mod them in :D.
I finally has got an urge to make another mod. What if dwarves develop a way to descend the Glowing Pits?
What if there's a Hell World under them?
-
there is no sense in a spider woman having breasts (A distinctly mammalian trait)
Of course they make sense if said spiderwoman uses them(God forbid) to somehow seduce normal humanoid types...
(A way to draw them into her web?)
Of course it's your representation and your design, and i've no right to question such a thing.
-
Why can't it be a mammal since it's -man? :) Also say this to this guy:
(http://www.wum.ru/content/if/java/spiderman3puzzle00.gif)
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.
-
Here's something I posted on the Engraver's Guild, in a desperate attempt to re-rail this once magnificent topic ...

Here's an adventurer wearing moderate leather armour.
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/mario-1.png)
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.

Shiney! :P
The picture is great :). Any story about the character?
-
I just saw everyone was picking on you before so I wanted to join in with something weird and cute. He's holding an octopus-thing, it's a toy I guess.
-
Yeah , he's cute. How long did it take to draw that? It's still beyond the level of my abilities to draw something like that.
-
A few hours or more for extra refinements.
-
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.
-
You forgot to add white and yellow liquids.
-
Warning. HFS
(http://i50.tinypic.com/243rxjb.jpg)
Well, you gotta do something when sitting there for an unknown amount of time.
Nice adventurer Fault.
I don`t really get the issue of realism, I thought we went by "rule of cool" when drawing.
Keep up the good work Deon.
And Neosorcerer, that picture is awesome (although I hope my dwarves don`t meet one).
-
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.
-
you've got greeat realism there, neosorcerer.
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.
-
its shiny, so i'm willing to overlook the possible innacuracy.
I'm sure this is one of the stated clauses of the contract you get given when they issue you with an Artistic Licence ;)

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.
btw. I love the pic, that's some masterfully engraved stuff right there

Well, the demons of lust and depravity have to lull their victims into a false sense of security somehow.

OK, since the new fan art thread was removed, here's the junker robot from my Wasteland mod I drew for it.
(http://i45.tinypic.com/2va03nl.png)
-
Anyways, about time I made something. Here is my view of a GCSman.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v214/smjjames/giantcavespiderman.png)
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.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v214/smjjames/GCSMANhead.png)
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.
-
lol I'm glad I got a chance to read everyone's replies before it was cleaned up. I'm surprised that anyone likes my picture, thanks guys!
-
I think only one or two posts were removed (Armoks post for one).

Photobucket says it was deleted. Use tinypic instead :).

No, you refresh your cache, that's the reason you can still see it.
-
I just cleared all cookies and its still there,maybe its a FireFox thing.
-
No, because then we would see nothing, instead of a 'deleted by photobucket' icon.
-
I don't know why its still there, I see the pic itself not a deleted by photobucket icon.
-
I just booted up my laptop, i've never been to this site on my laptop, i can see the image just fine.

Maybe it was a photobucket hiccup?

Here's a couple of sketches from recently:

This is what my forts always look like for the first 2 years or so, before the miners have finished digging out my intricately planned interiors. Early sieges are a lot of fun, especially with orcs.
And this doesn't really technically have much to do with DF, but it's kind of fantasyesque and it's sitting in my photobucket account anyway, so here it is:

Woah, we need you! The results of your awesome skills inspire me and make me happy :).

Yes, Balathustrius, that is indeed awesome.
I can't even begin to fathom how you paint so well.
I agree witih Deon, it is inspiring.

OK, inspiration strikes!
I've noted that I haven't tried to draw anything in MSPaint for a LOOONG time.

I'd like to post more art but I'm not sure where to go from there...

Meh, I've become a little disillusioned with CA, truth be told. It's a little too sanitized these days. Most of the shit I do isn't worth posting, anyways.
Did I miss a drama over your tentacle demon?! Damn it. That's the mark of a good tentacle-demon picture, though, so I think you should continue. ;)
-
Well, nobody has complained about it (although putting a NSFW note is just bieng on the safe side) and everybody has accepted it as a tentacle demon. So, I thiniaaasssssk you're safe to draw more :)
It was mainly Armoks wierd (and somewhat immature) post and the resulting wierd posts that ended up locking this.
Thats just the nature of tentacle demons I guess, lol.
So, anybody like my rendition of a Giant Cave Spider man? I know my drawing ability is poor compared to others, but the imagination behind it is just as good as others.
-
Deon, any chance you'll be updating the chronicles of Boatmurdered?
I will. I just need some inspiration. Currently I prepare myself to take my last exam so I sleep about 4 hours per day thus my brain is totally stunned and blunt. Once I start to sleep normally again, I start drawing stuff, modding and leading a normal life again :D. The last things I drew are here just to wake me up a bit :).

Balathustrius, that fort picture is amazing.
Hmmm...it'd be interesting to see your renditions of some of the more amazing forts that people have created. Somehow I don't think any of the visualizers would be able to match your art.

John Egghorses has been happy lately. He dined in a good dining room recently. He slept in a fine bed recently. He admired own fine Door recently. He has been annoyed by parents.
John likes Basalt, Copper, quivers, movies and ghosts for their mystery. He likes working outdoors and grumbles only mildly at inclement weather.

If anyone is interested, Strike The Earth! (http://dfc.smackjeeves.com/) is updating again. I got super sick back in November and was out of commission for about 2 weeks, and for some reason it never crossed my mind that I hadn't set pages to auto-update past page 15.
So yeah, to make up for it, it updates every day until this story line is done. I've got the next forty pages on the auto-update already, and I just have to scan the ones after that.
Sorry for the disappearance. -_-
-
Glad to hear you're back, ahrbee!
-
oh, I didn't know that STRIKE THE EARTH was made by someone on these forums.
Seems a lot of people here have dwarfy webcomics.
-
@Mephansteras - Thanks!
@Fault - Didn't I help you get your SJ account set up right before I ended up with Swine Flu? o.o I also used to be one of the SJ admins. But yeah, I joined the forums here way after I initially made Strike the Earth--I did most of my STE stuff for the DF thread on something awful.
-
yeah, thanks again for that.
I guess it was stupid to assume that the admin of a webcomic site wouldn't have a few webcomics of her own. good to hear that you'll be updating it again!

You're back! Great news. We (your collective fans) were beginning to worry.

Hullo everybody, I haven't been really contributing much to this thread (I posted the flaming zombie if you can remember it), but I've been catching up with it and reading quite often :).
Fault, you got some great concept drawings up, and your style is fantastic! Deon also, your female humanoids are uh... pleasing to the eye, in a bizarre/freaky sense. And Balathustrius, you really are inspiring! (Your icon is from Icewind Dale? ;D)
I'm not really an active user anymore, but I've had a growing interest in art since about August '09, and I've been lacking inspiration lately, so joining you guys and making some art dedicated to DF will be helpful for me, I think. You'll just have to stand the fact that I'm only dabbling (maybe novice! ;))
-
(Your icon is from Icewind Dale? ;D)
It's originally from Baldur's Gate. Icewind Dale is more hack-n-slash on a straight rail of maps, BG was funnier for me.
I'm only dabbling
All start from this level. Practice x 1000 usually improves it :). I want to see more things from you, that zombie was cool.

Oooh! Dangit, I have Baldur's Gate, why didn't I realize?... Well, I have all the Infinity Engine games.
All start from this level. Practice x 1000 usually improves it :). I want to see more things from you, that zombie was cool.
I know, I'm quite proud of my improvement so far, it's just the "not being able to draw what I want to draw" that bugs me, I struggle with making full scenes, and the ones I do are simple.
E.g. Not DF related:

Nice work in MS Paint Deon! I just don't get how some people draw the things they draw in it...
Hmm, trying to think of what to work on now...

Beefmo has engraved a pixelated bust of Cacame the elven dwarf king! :P
(http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss262/beefmo/cacame.png)
-
He's a little bald, but otherwise OK.
-
he's old though, lookit all the wrinkles!
He looks like either an old elf or a shaven dwarf. And neither of those things exist.
-
He looks fittingly mature and pissed-off. At any rate, the style rules.
-
Those are actually thinker wrinkles... plotting elven demise adds years to your face!
Ok... lets try a younger haired version.
(http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss262/beefmo/cacame-1.gif)
More like you envision him?
...couldn't be bothered updating his reflection :P
(Edit) Had some spare time, so he got a little animated.
To Fault: I'm actually alot happier with him now too, I had to add the facepaint to tie the beard in with his face otherwise your right... elven beards look odd!
-
that's nice actually, its hard to pull off an elf with a beard, but you did so pretty well.

I should really draw something, but I'll have to install my tablet on this old laptop I'm using (my proper one's AC Adapter died and I'm getting a new one shipped in)... Should I do it?...

DO IT!!
We need to see more of your pictures. Now get to it!

Back on my good laptop anyway, I'll get to it.

Where are the pics?! >:E

Was bored so tried to draw a zombie with gimp using the paint brush tool. Didn't quite work out as i wanted it too. Ah well practice is practice.

Good for a practice!
And I've just failed the things I tried today, sorry, I'm trying to make something half decent.

Im making one, but im only spending an hour on it

Hey you guys, I have a question about my art style.
Can you tell my characters apart when they're not coloured? I'm trying to make sure I have a variety of face shapes here, and not have it that every single dwarf has the same face (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OnlySixFaces) with a different beard colour.
compare this (http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/olinwithurist.jpg) to this (http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/olinandurist.jpg)
Do I need to improve my facial detailing in any way?
-
I could tell at first look, but I can see where it could be difficult to tell them apart uncolored. the eyes and nose were clearest differences to me.
-
I can tell them apart pretty easily, but there could be more, e.g. broader/thinner noses (well, broader or a lot more broader than that for dwarves)
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.
(http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z86/deaths_jester1/Thegoblins-2.jpg)
-
Their eyebrows are also very different. I could tell them apart too.
-
epic[/img]
Huzzah! This is awesome. Time to change my desktop picture :).
P.S. You have an awesome fire and lighting coming from it. Did you practice lots of tutorials/specific tutorials or is it your own style to draw it?
-
Thanks Deon! I just much around with settings and colours, I haven't done many tutorials, except maybe some on anatomy.
-
By the way, the idea is cool.
The idea is close to mine:
(http://i38.tinypic.com/20feuxg.png)
Adventurers at enrance, critters inside. My pic is quite "cold", while yours has the warmth and action.
P.S. I wish we could make a "draw a DF cave" contest :). Maybe we should?
-
It is also beautiful in the same way that a cavern can be breathtaking.
That could easily be the new cavern stuff. Maybe add a crystal formation or two and it would look even better.
Nice looking critter (Kobold I think? or a lone goblin?) in the darkness there.
-
It was supposed to be a kobold, considering the size of it and the dwarf on the background.
Also, the purple-ish shrooms are plump helmets :D.
I've just played Kobold Quest before I drew it, so that's where I took the inspiration.
-
A bit hard to tell the scale though since that dwarf looks pretty far away.
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.
-
Heh, it's a "black fodder", a cave plant from my mod, which is basically a grass which has a special extract.
All the fungi from that mod too.
-
OOH! Wonderful, Deon! The ground though seems a little... Level, though that's offset by all the stuff growing in it. I like the use of the bat and it's shadow. I like your use of cool colour, kind of like everything is either a cool or warm gray, which I guess is what happens with 1 source of distant lighting.
EDIT: What the CRAP? Spelling errors gahh.

Apparently standing on a hilltop in a thunderstorm holding a copper sword.
The angular, simplistic kobold is a deliberate stylistic choice, the absolutely awful lightning bolt is laziness.
-
And like a poorly drawn lightning bolt, I strike again! Frisblidib the kobold locked in combat with an elven herbalist.
(http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/013/1/9/Kobold_by_Hagrimm.jpg)
-
ha ha tiedye
-
The dagger needs a bit of work because it looks like the kobold is stabbing the elf in the eye with a stick.
Even if it were a stick, it still looks cool.
-
A stick would be awesome, like, ya love the TREE so MUCH!!! HERE HAVE IT ALREADY!!!!!!
-
I just thought it was a stick.
-
It's the myyyyystery that counts.
-
Wow, I think I love that font. Great picture, too.
Thanks. The font is Neverwinter, it's free, you can find in on the net. It's from Neverwinter Nights, my favourite online campaign builder game.
-
Yay NWN.
I made a quickie:

It's wallpaper-sized!
What should I do with it? Maybe add the rest of a starting caravan?

Interesting and cool, you set out with facial features really well, but his pose is a little stiff if you ask me, his shoulders are a little high, I guess that's what gives me that impression. I'd like to see more from you all.
Being 15 and under the rule of parents, I must leave with them for a couple of days to a place with no internet (but a power supply still), I'll be sure to post what I've done when I get back ^_^
-
Longer beard, Unless of course it's a humie or elf.
Also the stance looks rather unnatural.
Just some constructive criticism.
-

What should you do?!!! How do you dare to ask?! It's obvious! This picture obviously lacks a skeletal giant eagle flying down from the top left corner of the pic :).

Oh, snap. Duh.
I'll be back this evening sometime.
-
Looking forward to it!
-
Whoop, there it is.
(http://i45.tinypic.com/dnfxnb.jpg)
Not as skeletal as it might have been, but I think I'm happy with it.
EDIT: tweaks to the dwarf.
-
That is absolutely epic.
-
Longer beard, Unless of course it's a humie or elf.
Also the stance looks rather unnatural.
Just some constructive criticism.
The stance may be because of the viewing angle which is looking upwards a bit.
-
Naw, I agree.
I dropped his shoulder a bit, but I'm not gonna agonize over it right now.
I don't know what you think is his beard, though. I think it's kinda big.
Thanks Armok. I may or may not be done with it.
-
Hey, the fan art forum is nearing page 200.
Anyway, here's some trolls.
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/trolls.png)
The arm on the right is supposed to be like a bone-totem you might see in a troll cave.
the troll in the top left is in the fetal position because some versions of the myth say that trolls sleep underground in burial mounds, and it made sense that they'd be curled up in a ball if they were buried like that.
I'm trying to have a lot of variety in the shapes of troll heads and faces, as shown by the pics near the bottom.
also, Nice giant eagle there, Ironhand. You should totally do a follow-up pic where the dwarf whips around and brains it with his mining pick.
also, it kinda looks like the dwarf is standing on an egg. Maybe that's why the big bird is trying to kill him?
-
Thats the scariest troll I have ever seen. It looks like a diant, deformed, zombie fetus. Oh well, i were not planing on sleeping tonight anywyas.
-
Thanks, Fault. I am honored by your praise.
I forgot that trolls have six fingers. That is so awesome.
-
I forgot that trolls have six fingers. That is so awesome.
Not to burst your bubble, but DF trolls have 4 fingers according to the raws. Also no tails.
I really like the heads, the bottom right one especially reminds me of gollum in that The Hobbit cartoon.
-
Not to burst your bubble, but DF trolls have 4 fingers according to the raws.
I know that, although trolls having six fingers makes a bit more sense than elves having six fingers, being as trolls are monstrous and all that.
No offense Deon.
I really like the heads
thanks. I put some effort into having heads that are frightening in a variety of ways, while making them similar enough so they all kinda fit on the same body type.
-
The way I see it, a more brutal creature would have 4 meaty fingers and a more delicate creature with finer motor skills might favor on the side of more fingers. Elves having five fingers being 'natural' assumes humans are an evolutionary baseline, which is a world like DF may or may not be the case.
-
The idea that trolls are a "delicate" creature actually seems kind of frightening, as it implies they have a sort of manipulative intelligence. Why exactly would they need so many fingers? for tearing things apart more effectively?
-
That's it! the lure you in with the promise of a relaxing massage, but little do you know they are simply tenderizing you for easier consumption! The Horror!
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.
-
For the record, it's "pseudo" not "sudo", but yeah.
Anyway, a troll offering a massage. I request sincerely that this be drawn. Failing that, a trollish massage parlor (surely if they can lure people to their deaths with massages, they can lure them into losing a few coins). Ideally involving horridly out of place pink aprons.
-
you know one of the planned villians in Effigies is intended to be a manipulative and conniving Troll who tries to make himself out as non-threatening to lull characters into a false sense of security.
(the head labelled MOARG is a design for him)
I totally have to make him offer someone a massage now, or something. But not play it for comedy, make it like a really creepy gesture.
-
I know that, although trolls having six fingers makes a bit more sense than elves having six fingers, being as trolls are monstrous and all that.
No offense Deon.
What? Trolls more monstrous than elves? Blasphemy! Elves are the most terrible monsters which have ever come to our mountainhome!
-
To be honest, this was the first thing that I thought of when I heard "Troll massage".

-

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 :).
Strangemood
It could be better. I mean, you should fix the lineart before you color it, and the critters have their parts blending with the background. Did you ask the permission to color it? Not that I care about it, but still :).
Also, the major problem for me is that you've lost the texture and details on his face.
-
Yeah, they were supposed to be shadows.
Ah, well.
@Simmura: Yeah, mine too. Convenient, no? :D
-
pretty small image.
can't really see it.
-
My comment was directed at the absurdity of implying those shadows were speed marks, not that they are speed marks and are inaccurate.

It could definitely be better :) I only recently started using Photoshop, nor do I practice a lot (if at all). Just thought I'd share something I made.
I really don't think Bralbaard'd mind. In the rare case he does, I'm sure he'll let me know ;)
-
not at all sure if this is DF-related, but Vester posted a megabeast pic similar to this awhile ago...
(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.

Yeah I guessed that you just didn't practice a lot. I will make a quick tutorial to show what I meant. I almost finished shadows and texture yesterday but my wife disctracted me :)

Yeah, I didn't see the 2nd for some reason. Probably because you've added 2nd later :).

Holy CRAP, those are awesome.
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.
Now we know.
EDIT: It also explains why angels always start with "do not be afraid."
-
By comparison to some descriptions of angels, those are positively tame and comforting to look at.
-
Yeah, I had a megabeast drawing here earlier, but it was nowhere near as detailed as that.
The first one is so... fleshless. I like it.
-
fleshless. I like it.
What? Do you have anorexy?
-
I fail to see the similarity.
-
fleshless. I like it.

Been accused of that before, but no. ;D
Cosmic Horrors could appear without skin, since that would horrify us mortals.
I fail to see the similarity.
It shares a bit of a resemblance with my archangel drawing a bit before, except with a spear and less muscular. And also with Anima-like bandages.
-
Anima-like bandages
These 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.

Vester you lost a awesome chance to yell 3000

3003!
:D
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:
(http://i48.tinypic.com/am9mhy.png)
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.
(http://i47.tinypic.com/2iizyix.png)
3) Color the lines to make the color transitions better.
(http://i45.tinypic.com/2ijsyg1.png)
4) Put shadows and textures on each layer.
(http://i48.tinypic.com/2s6lxl0.png)
5) Fix some things and details.
TA-DAM!
(http://i48.tinypic.com/n5mzxs.png)
It's about 15 minutes total, thus it's fast. The quality here isn't good because I was hurrying, usually I spend a lot of time drawing pictures because I like skills to do it fast. But I hope you've got what I was going to deliver :). Practise and you will be great.
-
Deon is that you?
-
What? There was a great sketch by Bralbaard (http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=1604.msg935032#msg935032).
Strangemood colored it (http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=1604.msg973763#msg973763).
I've made this quick tutorial to teach the pal. I want more of us to draw here :).

No in your avatar.

I like that, Deon. The face and Beard have a lot of really nice details.
The brazier on his head makes me think of the way tongues were depicted in renaissance art.

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).
Anima-like bandages
These 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)
I guess a proper explanation for the bandages would be that the aformentioned church-golem angel grew to big for its armour, and tore it off exposing the puppet-body growing underneath. however, as you can see in the first angel pic, the head is smaller compared to the body; maybe it didn't grow so much and as such the scrolls and tapestry binding it were able to stay wrapped around it. yeeeeah.
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....

Damn! I missed it somehow. Your monsters are monstrous and it's really entertaining to see them.
Huesoo: Yeah, but it was about... 5 or 6 years ago, it's me on a tank in taiga beyond the polar circle :). Hungry for girls, ale and good bath hehe. And not married yet :P.
-
Thanks, Deon. I should think that one of the defining traits of a monster is that it would be... monstrous.
Also, where'd you find a tank in this day and age?
-
Well, he's in russia, so its maybe an abandoned tank from WWII.
-
what, are those just like, laying around all over the place?
-
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.
-
And it's not just tanks. When we were kids we were collecting various ammo we found in a forest near our dacha (summer cottage), and we often found skulls and parts of soldiers' equipment. People there made makeshift graves for such things because nobody tried to look for their origins.
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.

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.

It says Tofu2010 jan btw, but nice try ;P

Since there's no wind underground and those wispy things would be a poor way to disperse seeds, I suspect that they are feelers that catch insects, which are pulled into the area near the stalk and digested.
...that's right, carnivorous wheat. It's dwarven all right.
-
It's kind of odd how anything besides mushrooms or other types of fungi can grow underground.
Unless there's a plant-type I'm neglecting somewhere.

No, they're special underground plant breeds. You have to use entirely different ones from outdoor crops.

Philosophical question:
Why do forgotten things always look like something nobody could EVER forget?
-
they're so terifying that your mind MAKES YOU forget them.
because, according to HP lovecraft, trying to remember them, or describe them, can drive you insane.
-
because no one lives long enough to remember
-
Its because they were driven (or fled, or retreated) to the caverns deep in pre-historical times when dwarves were still trying to figure out how to dig into rock, elves were... um, no idea, and humans were millenia from developing agriculture. So, they could exist in myth and legend, if at all.

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.
Also, yeah, the miner does feel castlecrasherish.

As an extension of what I posted here (http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=30026.msg986993#msg986993), I'd like to challenge you guys to do something relatively simple.
Draw me a hood. Rather, draw me a series of hoods that distinguish themselves as being an elven hood, a human hood, a dwarven hood, and if you want, a goblin or kobold hood.
They are just a simple symbol in the game. But what do you see them as?
I'd really like to see some from fault, Deon & Sebby, but everyone is invited. I have no artistic ability, or I'd contribute.

sorry to beat a dead horse here, but that is still some pretty impractical armour.
-the helmet has a big hole in the front, you don't need to expose that much of the face
-the chestplate has some pretty big holes located near vital organs
-the pauldrons and the gauntlets seem to have no way of attaching to the rest of the suit

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.

The books represent books. It's a major part of the game: it has a LOT of various books to collect and you usually spend eternity sorting them.

And that joke has potential, pottsy. Except the miner, instead of commenting on his idiocy, should be speaking about how it's a shame there's no way to avoid such silly accidents. It would be hilarious if the dwarfs were portrayed as completely intelligent fellows who for some reason HAVE to trap themselves behind walls, in channels, deconstruct the floor they're standing on and run for the sock lying behind the invading goblin army.

He's ADORABLE!

I like the fact that the miner's pick is bigger than he is.
Also, the noble's outfit is epic.

What dorf would have it any other way?
Anyway, that is a most interesting pipe he is smoking. Looks like he bought some rope reed from the elves.
-
He's ovbiously smoking Plump Helmets.
-
that is so like how I picture dwarf nobles!
so flambeuant and silly, and ridiculously happy.
what kind of noble is he? He looks kinda like a baron or a duke. Too cheery to be a mayor.

Well it's not a "noble" per se, it's just a broker/merchant.
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."
-
Hehe, I watched some cool pics and decided to draw a queen.
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.

I love that.
Especially the jewellery!
Her boots look a bit like hooves, though ... if I was to (reluctantly) say one bad thing about it ...

The stone is supposed to be warm! just make sure you stand riiiiiight under that bauxite flood gate... Go ahead and pull it! I'll just be standing over here. Behind this door. And magma channel. And the Soap Makers. Call me if you need me! *Run*"

Hehehe.
Mendonca: that's why they need a proper shading.

I don`t think I would be able to get rid of that noble.

You don`t mess with the fortress guard.

[/quote]
Great...now I'm trying to imagine what seven fingers that means. Does he have 7 on each hand? Three on one and four on another?
-
so he has even more fingers than my trolls and angels?
is finger count an indication of divine ranking now?
-

If it were, Armok would have 20 on each hand.
-
that would be hard to draw.
-

Armok is impossible to draw.
He's like one of Lovecraft's monstrosities.
-
someone described him as resembling an infinite sea of blood, with a voice that sounds like the tearing of flesh and muscle.
-
Obviously his hands are pseudopods, having at once no fingers and infinite fingers.
-
I could try to draw armok, but I don't think I have enough Red Paint.
-
Anybody can try to draw Armok, it's just that they'd go insane in the process, becoming incapable of doing anything meaningful before they finish.
Thus, why I said it's impossible to draw Armok.
-
There is a flaw in your plan, that being insane makes you incapable of doing anything productive.
(http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j5/dukemileg1/MISG8.png)
I'm sure that is one of Armoks knuckles down to the right side.
-

That's just one knuckle.
Imagine what the rest of him looks like.
You'd start rolling on the floor foaming at the mouth if you saw that in person.
That's why Armok talks to people as a voice of doom rather than appearing to them.
And his voice of doom is how he whispers.
-
That drawing in the bottom right does look rather disturbing, i think i can see a horribly tormented face in there.
-
That's pretty cool. Did you do that in Paint?
Also, I fear for the happy fortress guard, seeing as there's a dragon mucking around up there.
Yea, made it in paint. Took some time, first draw outlines, then fix painting, then add shadows, add colour, add shades.
But I think it was worth it.
-
This turn of conversation pleazszesz me...
(Do try to draw me. personally I favour either something vaguely along the lines of my avatar, or the infinite sea of blood thing.)

Is it ok if I draw you in a bloody hardcore female avatar form? :)

Awesome dwarven style.

Yesterday, I was ambushed by one in adventure mode after leaving a beach square. :)
It tore off my arm and began breaking all my joints before dronwing. :\ I think they have 2 pincers, though.
-

I were going to say yes, but then I saw it was your and remembered how you draw females... so my answer is "Hell no!". No offence meant, but it is *me* you'd be drawing and I'm a bit uncomfortable with that... You can still draw me in a non humanoid form thou, and anyone else is free to try whatever.
-
Ah, fixed it.
Is there any description of Armok anywhere?

Wait, you were, like...
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
But yeah, two pincers. A pair of them. One on either side of the mouth.

What about a non-humanoid female avatar? :D Jk.
Also, did you see my last female Queen? I think I draw pretty tame pics now.
-
your female queen looked like she was fellating a flesh-coloured plump helmet.
-
Omg >.<. Why did you say that. Now I see it too.
Also now I get it: probably I am not too "corrupted" to see the things you see in my pictures. Just a single color choice and you make up something weird >:(.
Btw it's a common color for a stalk of a mushroom. Fault, stop kidding please, I am really tired of it :).
-
That, or you're subconsciously drawn towards erotic art, no matter it's appropriateness.
EDIT. Goddamn, how many times have I started a new page on this forum? It seems like I do it at least once a day.
-
Why can't we just have a dark dwarf eating fried chicken? Why does it need to be sexual?
-
Do you want me to make her skin darker?
And seriosly, why not? Why can't a woman be sexual? It's art (more or less), and I don't think it's bad unless it's pornographic. If you have anything against it, please say so. 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.
Goddamn, how many times have I started a new page on this forum? It seems like I do it at least once a day.
Congratulations :). You win the "page starter" achievement :P.
-
everyone knows plump helmets are supposed to be purple.
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.

word.
-

Their HATS, not the stalks :).
the nipple-rings
Damn it, it was way over, here you're right.
what with the leather boots
Common DF clothing for me :). But yeah, you're probably right about overall picture, small details and shapes give it up :P. I don't know, I just like to draw this way, is it a good enough answer?
P.S. I must say you use too much "I do" and "I don't" in your arguments. Word. :P I prefer to think "for each his own".
-
"for each his own".
AGH I was gonna say that, but I couldn't remember the saying.
I tried not to sound too condescending, but it's hard to diffrentiate emotions on the internet, you know?
I meant no offense, I'm just trying to give constructive criticism. I shouldn't try to force my opinions on other artists.
Their HATS, not the stalks :).
YOU ARE A MAD MAN
-
Mad as a hatter, perhaps?
-
I was unable to read your mood thus I've posted that "for each his own". I just don't want to make a grudge because of some fat chick, you know :P.
And of course I meant cap (pileus), I am russian, you should forgive me such errors :). The meaning of "a cap" and "a hat" in russian is quite close, so we can use both in such case :P.
P.S. Actually, no. If we're going to translate it right and this:
(http://img1.liveinternet.ru/images/attach/b/0/14885/14885531_Miniatyurnaya_shlyapka_Pandoruy.jpg)
is a hat, then we call those "mushroom hats".
P.P.S. Hmmm... Now I wonder how would a female mad hatter look ;D.

Not specifically Dwarf Fortress related, but it seemed appropriate enough.
An original character I drew in my typical animesque style, that I haven't much used in this thread.
You may now commence with the elf jokes.
-
I always pictured elves as being very dark-skinned.
However, if they're that cute, then I'm sure more than one person will hesitate to kill them.
Hesitate.
But in all seriousness, I think it's really good. I hope I get to see more work from you Sindayven.
-
not too shabby, sindayven. We don't see a lot of anime-style art out here, it's a nice change. reminds me of Eva from the fantasy anime Wakfu.
you even got the eyes right! I tried drawing in an anime fashion once, and I could never get the eyes all shiny like that.
-
Glad you like it.
Also, by all means she should be darker skinned, as she's a wood elf (rather than a high elf), but I'm a sucker for pale skin.
-
Ah, ol'good manga style :). Me like :P.
Btw I am a sucker for a tan skin so we could have a small "competition". I will try not to draw flesh colored plump helmets, promise, promise! ;D

There were only 3 games on my father's computer in Ukraine: Wolfenstein 3D, Doom and the latest addition, Duke Nukem 3D. Guess which I played the most?
Oh, but like all the normal kids, I had a Dendy (Fake Nintendo/Famicom for all you non USSR-born) and Mario, but I preferred bloody shooters with pixelated tits, ya know?
-
Yeah :D. I had doom, wolfenstein, duke AND warcraft :P. I win. Jk.
And I had a dandy too. There was a really cool "star wars" arcade with a "global map" etc. which was quite advanced for a console game.

Well we did have Warcraft II (and its expansion) later on when I was a bit older.
But childhood filled with blood and tits is unforgettable =D

It's obviously a butchered and skinned cat.

no it's his pet, it decided he couldn't butcher it if it was latched onto his head!

You're too kind. Look at that, it's dead :P.

First time posting in this thread, here's some of my fan art (if we can call it art, it's pretty much on the "doodling in the textbook" level at the moment). These were taken with the family camera. Also, the pictures are pretty big. Still trying to figure out how to change the resolution.
This one is supposed to be two dwarves sparring. Or, as it turned out, making a mess out of it. (http://i45.tinypic.com/2m2wcg7.jpg)
This one should be a goblin snatcher after catching something. I'm not sure what trait indicates it's a goblin, but I don't really have any green pens.(http://i45.tinypic.com/21d53xz.jpg)
Goblin Crossbowman. One of the best of my pictures, I think. (http://i45.tinypic.com/2m79lxi.jpg)
Goblin Spearman stabbing a dwarf. In the head. (http://i49.tinypic.com/301iw6x.jpg)
This is supposed to be an engraving of a champion dwarf in berserker rage (the coloured eyes should indicate that). (http://i46.tinypic.com/vifkpl.jpg)
-
Your goblins have no ears, sir :P.
Also, are those eyes of the dwarf colored? Weird :/
-
Nothing I drew has any years. Somehow, I think that anatomical precision is not what I sought when making these.
-
They don`t look halfbad. Thats the beauty of DF, its all about artistic imagination.
-
Yeah, if we could just decide whether Kobold are lizardy things or long-eared cuties, and which color goblins are.
-
Well, canonically the goblins have green skin and glowing red eyes.
-
DF kobolds are brown and furry and they throw bugs, that's all we know about them from Armok 1 and Kobold Quest.
Canonically kobolds are shapeshifters (they may appear in any form), or to be more accurate, they don't have a defined form because they are depicted differently in different places.
-
Well, the thing about art makes DF range from:
Cute and funny
all the way to
Gritty and depraved.
Remember one thread which included cutebolds and a goblin race of only females which were dominatrixes.
-
No. Don't remind me of it :P (must... not... draw!...). It's still on DFFD by the way.
-
I remember that.
Was a mod if I remember correctly... Goblin fortress where you produced such exciting trade goods such as strap-ons.
-
No. Don't remind me of it :P (must... not... draw!...). It's still on DFFD by the way.
I hereby order you to draw female goblins and kobolds along the traditions established by Gobbo! I must see this, it will be horrifying!
-
Is it not plausible that there are different kinds of kobolds?
-
HERESY!

Oh man thats funny. Titan smoking a tree. I'm sure the elves ARE pissed.

Drew this one a few days ago. The story about the goblin reminded me of it.

MOOBS.
...but yeah, pretty cool.
-
Can't we just have muscular Goblin pecs? Instead of anything sexual?
-
jeez is everybody drawing stuff like that now?
-
Whaaat???
If this:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v662/Lemunde/rpgchars-1.png)
is sexual then I am a five-legged train on LSD heading towards the magma pit of buxom lady zombies.
Lemunde, it's a cool goblin. Excuse the other immature audience, they see E'RYTHING in a "sexual" light. I guess it's a problem of a long use of PC instead of dating or something. If not, I don't know...
Come on, if you think that gobbo is sexual, you have to contact a psychiatrist.
And I didn't know that you're in the same boat, Fault. You looked more mature those days.
Also Qloos, oh my, something about that stoned titan makes me laugh :).
-
I should probably mention that my earlier post was a joke on my even earlier post that apparently only I remember.
Darn Egocentrism!
-
And I didn't know that you're in the same boat, Fault. You looked more mature those days.
I'm joking man. I was kinda just following the crowd I guess... anything in that image that is supposedly "sexual" is probably unintentional. We should feel ashamed for belittling his work considering that all the other aspects of its anatomy are spot-on.

I feel that someone should draw this.
Elf VS Titan
ha ha. that seems like something a megabeast would do. According to greek mythology, all the titans were colossal douchebags.
-
I know that you're joking, but the same joke for a few weeks is not funny. Also I felt that he could feel bad because nobody said that it's cool and people started to spam out jokes instead. It's not the way to encourage free artistry :P.
-
The greek gods themselves were not better than the titans. Kinda like a noble and a hammerer.
-
all the titans were colossal douchebags.
No pun intended?

Deon, hows the request going?

FYI, my comment was just saying that he was a little out of natural proportion, not even insinuating that that was deliberate.

UNTRUE!
The first time a joke is made, it's funny.
The second through twentieth time it is made, it is not funny.
After twenty+ it becomes funny again.

(http://i677.photobucket.com/albums/vv134/RndmNumGenerator/Dwarf.jpg)
-
I think the arms might be a little short, and he seems squatted a little strangely. The head is probably also a little out of proportion with the body, which I think is more than a little on the large side.
Nice armor and weapons though, and you did a good job with the hair/beard, and shading in general.
-
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! ;)
Skid: Awesome elven ghost ;).

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.

I finally got a drawing tablet, so I decided to draw up A little DF related comic:

Funny. The lever joke never really gets old. ;D

nope, never does.

I think this has been the first comic I've seen that makes the elves so... gender-ambiguous. Very nice artwork, incidentally.

That's... a pretty cute elf. Guy or not.

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.

awesome comic, Darkerdark! great art, and pretty funny too.
nice pic you got there too soadreqm. you really get a sense of the social perspectives involved.
-
Wow that comic is awesome, before I read it I thought "elf chick and some cloth" then I read it and the second I got to the announcement of gender my mind was blown! the character now no longer resembles a female at all to me :o.
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.

Not entirely used to making 'old' stuff. My style is usually clean and hightech, but there's a first time for everything <:
It's not entirely related to DF but I still thought it fits the theme.
EDIT: Also this is my first actual object I made :v
I usually do logos and the likes (http://filesmelt.com/dl/Paragon_copy1.png).
-
That's one trippy fleur de lis.
Anyway, nice style. Although (minor note) the right (our left) shoulder isn't all connected...
-
I finally got a drawing tablet, so I decided to draw up A little DF related comic:
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y139/DarkC1oak/elfcomiccopy.png
A common mistake when dealing with elves.
Love the art style, also that Elf is hot.
-
Love the art style, also that Elf is hot.
um.. not that I'm prejudiced or anything...
you are aware of the elf's gender, right?
-
Eh, **** it, that elf is hot, stated gender is irrelevant.
-
~Trap or not, it's smoking hot~
-
It makes me wonder, if that's a male, what are the females like?
*an image of a hulk-like monster pops into head*

Haha! As soon as I read this, an image of one of Deon's previous drawings popped into my head. That man certainly likes the women buff! Not that there's anything wrong with that or anything... heh *tugs on collar*

Dwarf traps are full of magma.

Dwarf traps are full of magma.
In this case, it didn't become full of magma until perhaps one panel after the one we were shown.

This thread is awesomes. The art is so.... :o Yeah, thats the one.
I have a pic I'd like to post an' all but it seems I don't know how. Halp please?

I know the wrassler's arm is too big, I did it for comic effect.

Awesome, I love the expressions.

You've definetly nailed the comic effect right on there :)

Not bad for my 4th and 5th time trying to draw dwarves eh?
Thanks for the compliments, they've inspired me, I might do some more. And expect ten dwarftons of them when I get the ol' tablet back.

I actually like the 5 minute or so one better XD, really like the comic style used there. Both are good though

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 payoff
I 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 ;).
-
And you inspired me to quickly shade my queen to consider it "finished".
A "Plump queen eats a plump helmet" pic with a shading:

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.
-
I've found out that a good way to separate your lineart from a black background is to color your lineart, adding some hue where appropriate (i.e. dark gray where there's a white color on the main pic, brown where it's red etc.) but it takes a lot of time so I rarely do this (although it makes the pic to look better).
P.S. Also I know why she frightens you. Such a huge tube full of scrolls with mandates would frighten anyone :P.
-
I think it's the eyes.
They seem to have a cold, lifeless stare.
Similar to a doll.
-
Well, the answer is simple: magma. It will make them warmer :).
-
I think I know why it creeps me out. It's Them. They're the size of her head.
Which isn't natural.
-
It is natural for drawn dwarven nobles :). I have experience.
-
I'm still under the impression that recoloring the mushroom to purple would be for the best.
-
It's a mushroom's stalk so I don't see why should it be purple.
-
Deon: Well, they're purple in game. Then again, so are nobles and hammerdwarves. ;D
As it is, the plump helmet looks a lot like meat, but since dwarves eat that too, I don't see how it matters.

Hey Deon, I hear you apparently made improvements to your queen picture.
Of course, I haven't looked at it, cause I'm in a school environment and I don't want to get weird looks.
-
dude, you're on the dwarf fortress forums, I think you're gonna get weird looks anyways.
-
He added a wonderwoman costume. :)
*runs as he gets projectiles thrown at him by Deon*
j/k of course. The colorscheme is a bit like the wonderwoman costume but the wonderwoman costume was little more than a bikini, a tank top, and a crown, deons pic is somewhat more clothed than that.
-
A while ago we had a dwarf fortress thread on the traditional games board.
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.
-
GRRR! I can't believe somebody besides me thought of that!
I swear I had an entire mini-story in one daydream that combined TTGL's entire second story, except using DF creatures exclusively.
-
I don't think the second story'd be possible, dwarves haven't discovered space flight yet.
YET.
-
Surely it needs more picks? Like, half a dozen, with one mounted on the forehead.
-
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
Surely it needs more picks? Like, half a dozen, with one mounted on the forehead.

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.

oh. okay.

I always have to choke back some vomit when people see the Cartoon Network\Adult Swim\Whatever versions of Anime and refer to the characters by those names. 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. Still, your drawings rock, and are a great tribute to DF and GL :D
-
I have to say, translating half the Chouginga Gurren Lagann name is kind of stupid. Either translate the whole damn thing, or don't translate any of it. Don't go halfsies.
-
the file name I saved it as is actually chouchinga dwarven lagann ;D
which, to translate it all the way, would mean super-galactic dwarven enveloping-face.
BTW: I AM ACTIVELY WORKING ON DRAWERING THE APOLLYON DEMON MECHA. should have it done within the hour.

I never thought my little story would inspire so much awesome.
Just for reference: Apollyon is a bastardization of the word "Abaddon" which means "The Destroyer".
-
Mph. This means I probably have to draw them fighting now.
That'll take ages to colour, let alone sort out a sutiable background...
I'm also thinking of other forms of Dwarven lagann to draw...
(already drawn forms in bold)
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
Arc-Dwarven Lagann: Aformentioned mechs combined with an entire fortress
Chouchinga Dwarven Lagann: Aformentioned Mechs combined with an entire MOUNTAIN
Tengen Toppa Dwarven Lagann: I dunno, some kinda giant beard made of fire and galaxies...
-
I can only find 3 faces (fourth one sorta)...
-
1 face on top of the head
1 face in the chest
1 giant SOF face in the chest-mouth
2 skull faces on the eyes of the chest-face
-
That is pretty damn epic.

*gouges own eyes out to stop the epicness getting into his brain*
Great stuff fault.

-5200 points for "Adamantium"
read Josh's short story, the demon-mecha is supposed to be made of adamantium. But I didn't think a BRIGHT CYAN devil machine would look that menacing, so I blackened it.

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☼
-
As Adamantine\Adamantium is a made up substance based on the word 'Adamant' meaning 'Too hard to cut, break or pierce' there is no accord on what it actually is.
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).
-
The bright cyan metal used in Dwarf Fortress is ADAMANTINE
goddamn suffixes.
That is pretty damn epic.
YO, MITTENS
would you mind if I wrote a short story on the forming of the space colossus king cacame?
I mean, Cacame is like, your intellectual property or whatever, so if you don't want me to, that's fine.
-
He's arguing that "Adamantine" and "Adamantium" are two different things. Which is rediculous, it's just a different metallic suffic attached to Adamant.
-
-ine suffix = used for non-metals
-ium suffix = used for metals
HRRMMMMM.
it gets even more complicated if you factor in things like adamantane (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adamantane)...
-
So you're trying to tell me that the Dwarf Fortress Adamantine isn't a metal?
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.
-
Who cares if it's adamantane or adamantoid or adamantoxide or adamanterium or adamantosphere.
Just don't worry about it, and just have fun, this is one point I'm adamantly adamant about.
-
Herf derf.
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.

Feel free. Cacame is as much the community's as he is mine. So write away with your head free of care.
Unless I start making money off him, in which case PREPARE FOR A MASSIVE LAWSUIT!!!1!
-
...I think this thread might actually be starting to overdose on awesome.
-
WELL IN THAT CASE
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?!"

Excuse me my arrogance, but am I the only one who noticed that Fault has managed to totally derail the thread with everyone ignoring it and following the troll?
;D

I like that his entire qualm with the two is that he was left out.
You also gotta enjoy the fact that he had the foreight to engineer the statue of himself into a hidden robot, and then somehow using a volcano to turn that into an even bigger robot.
Excuse me my arrogance, but am I the only one who noticed that Fault has managed to totally derail the thread without anyone noting it and following the troll?

Hardly, while Fault drew the original image, I contributed the story that began the spiral into the TTGL theme.

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.

You have made me feel both very influential and very trollish. it's a confusing feeling.

I see what you did there
-
Nah, you're not trollish. Trolls are harmful, and this is most definitely not harmful.
-
Just though I'd say I found a nice new avatar, the goblin watercolour was starting to look ugly
-
The goblin watercolor is still cool.
But, I was sort of surprised you hadn't used the dwarf with anime shades already.
-
Nah, you're not trollish. Trolls are harmful, and this is most definitely not harmful.
I'd say, it was a creative positive trolling :P (if such exists). And just to make it sure (I've learned from my previous mistakes): it was a joke in case someone gets it seriously. I enjoyed that stuff as well :P.
-
OK, just because I consider myself lazy when I don't post any pics here, and because it's a trend to derail this thread with df-something hybrids, here's a Fallout dwarf mspaint sketch :P
(http://i50.tinypic.com/15qqck5.png)
We won't be vault dwellers in the 2.0 of fallout mod which I am finishing now. We will be dwarven mutants, and they were quite often in Fallout 1/2 games :P.
-
It's not trolling if the OP agrees. ;)
-
Heres some Dwarffortish image I drew for my Rp (same as the human Madking). The story is that Xick and Mordred are ordered to kill insane dwarves and bring the heads. They kill 4 and follow into the final chamber/basement and they find 3 dwarvese with axes and their king, a ratman magician stuck in some a golem he made. The final chamber is also the booze stockpile.
Spoiler because massive pic.
(http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/zz42/Huesoo/dude.png)
-
The booze stockpile looks like a pile of corpses/meat in nets, and the dwarves are huge. Scary things D:.
-
Originally only the eyes of the Colossus were filled with magma (since that is the only thing that could replicate the smoldering anger always present in Cacame's gaze). But filling it entirely with magma would totally work too.
-
well, you know.
now you totally have to do that.
-
So, in my current bloodlines game, the fortress has a river that's been redirected to surround the fort, and then a single bridge across that river, near a large, well-fortified tower.
The tower is made of solid granite and is accessible only from a tunnel.
When I obtained the fort I noticed we had 130 non-wardog animals, and ordered them hurled from the top of the tower.
Now there are piles of bones and gore everywhere around the tower, and the river runs red with blood.
The migrants have stopped coming.
Someone draw this.

Ah come on, we're all having fun here and nobodys complaining about the direction we're going.
Hey Fault, how about a Dwarven Gundam Mecha?
-
never watched gundam that much. I don't really remember what any of their mecha looked like.
besides, we should probably move back into more fantasy-related art.

I was bored so I've started to Learn JASS and my first steps on remaking a Dwarf Fortress map for Warcraft3.
And what kind of Dwarf Fortress is without a tantrum?
So I drew an icon for an ability "Bloody Tantrum!" which has a chance to set off if your ally dies:

I'm thinking of doing some for other races as well...

watership down?

Yup. The most epic book about rabbits I have ever read. ;D

I remember my parents had the watership down cartoon in their VCR cupboard when I was a kid...
It was a strange experience. I was not allowed to watch it cause they told me that it was very scary. I could not imagine how a cartoon about rabbits could be scary.
to this day I have not watched it...

Very scary, for anybody under 12.
Scary for anyone under 16.

So this thread inspired me to do some fan art of my own. I'm not comfortable with drawing on the PC, but I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.

almost unrelated, but it's sort of df inspired. it's supposed to be a sinister forest, like the ones in Threetoe's stories.
(http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/digitalwaylander/darkforest.jpg)

More like a Siberian (or Northern Canadian, or Alaskan) forest deep in the winter.
It doesn't strike me as even slightly evil. Add a few ghostly wolves and that should work.
-
There seems to be to be invisible person in it.
-
Regardless of wether it looks sinister or not, it's still pretty good.
-
It reminded very much of the forest from the Brothers Grimm movie, except with magic not so heavily bound. I'm not sure if the "invisible person" outline is intended or not. What I noticed most was the strange fog; looks partially solid around one tree's base.
-
wait, there's an outline of an invisible person? that's news to me.
I guess it really is a haunted forest.

You mean just to the left of the centermost pinetree? Yea it looks vaguely humanoid, but shadows can play tricks on your eyes like that.

But we all saw it in the same place (I at least, found it before seeing the red circle one, in that very spot).
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.
-
Its paradolia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia
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.
-
Pareidolia is one of my favourite things in the world.
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!
-
What it means, Stove, is that you will never survive a ninja attack.
But more seriously, I'm also a fan of the theory that the more you want/expect something to be there, the more likely you are to see it- whether or not it's really there.
-
But I, myself, am the legendary Lobster Ninja (http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs001.snc1/4394_39921559942_502049942_487681_2681372_n.jpg)!
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.

What it means, Stove, is that you will never survive a ninja attack.
But more seriously, I'm also a fan of the theory that the more you want/expect something to be there, the more likely you are to see it- whether or not it's really there.
Is that something like projected psychology?

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
-
What are the repeated symbol thingies that blend in with the branches in the haunted forest scene? Some sort of signature? I count 3 whole ones, 1 partial, and 1 thing that looks like a partial reflection. Two of them in essentially a vertical line just to left of center in the image.
-
I think that is the same'ghost' that everybody else mentioned.
-
With the youtube style red circle I have marked the ghost that I saw.
(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d188/Bloogonis/ghost.jpg)
if there is a different one, i cant find it.
You know, I really like the way he seems to be taking one step towards the viewer. That's the way I like to see things that are sinister. Too often are things ruined by "scary music", jolting sounds or overblown physical cues.
For instance:
In the recently released version of Wolfman: there is a scene in which the main character is lying in bed ill and defenseless, he repeatedly sees creatures coming to attack him. Noticably a "Wolfboy" and a full grown "Wolfman" (though that one flies at him from the left of screen in less of a vicious maul, more of a rugby tackle, I genuinely laughed) I thought at the time that this scene would have been far more scary if it had been played in silence (like the silence of night, not absolute silence) with a solid shot. Imagine seeing from the point of view at the pillows, looking down the bed, some creature sneaking in from the corner of the room to the end of the bed. Then it creeps up to the view, perhaps investigative or perhaps always with a hideous grimace on it's face.
-
Hey guys lets talk about DF related art!
-
/gasp A radical, get him!
-
No. You should POST ART here, not talk. Silly ones...
-
Here's some headshots of characters done for a forum RP game (http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=50327.0)I'm DM'ing.
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/Rothgar.png)(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/Jorn.png)(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/Protha.png)(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/Macegoblin.png)(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/Swiftwind.png)(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/Dwarzga.png)(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/Raith.png)
They're pretty DF-related, seeing as all these races appear in Dwarf fortress.
-
THEYRE PUPILS MY GOD WHERE ARE THEY!
-
It's called artistic license and style, learn to deal with it.
-
I usually don't put in any pupils either.
-
It's called sarcasm and its my style, learn to deal with it.
-
...was that even sarcasm? Are you expressing contempt for a lack of pupils while simultaneously expressing a basic misunderstanding of the difference between possessives and contractions?
-
...was that even sarcasm? Are you expressing contempt for a lack of pupils while simultaneously expressing a basic misunderstanding of the difference between possessives and contractions?
making a post with no punctuation shows that you are not placing a great deal of emphasis on your post allowing it to be interpreted as sarcasm and or joking on the internet
-
Humans have pupils.
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.
-
Things without pupils look 75% more crazy than they would with pupils, which is just far too apt for Dwarf Fortress.
-
I figured the fey races don't have pupils, where humans are mundane and thus have them.
-

you're just mean.
also, More tile arts!

-
I dunno man, those ARE golden socks there. I could take five more rooms for those!
-
Thats a cool orc.
-
I do believe those socks are on a platform covered in Elephants above a pool of water full of carp.
This seems like a reasonable defence.
Also, there's a problem with the Spirit of Fire room; those buggers can fly. Best replace them with Fire Imps so they don't escape.
-
@Neruz: I thought those were elves....
Anyways, whats the wierd one on the left that looks sort of like Gollum, or at least as deranged as Gollum? *sarcastically at self* or I could have just looked at the properties of the pic *end sarcasm*, which I did.
I thought a troll would maybe look more orc-like.
-
I'm actually having trouble with identifying that third room. The first two a fairly straightforward, the third one is just plain wierd.
I thought it was like full of pressurised water and carp at first.
-

The third is obviously filled with the overworld scourges of dwarfkind.
Carp, elephants, bronze colossi, titans and dragons. And there's no cage anywhere. Notice how you are never safe from The Carp.
But the two hydras may just be a piece of dwarven humor, like "Well, if we had put skeletal whales here..."
-
Two things in that top room.
Either the carp are flying, or you got the water colour wrong and the other creatures should be drowning.
-
Not to advertise, but these two RP threads are a bit stale and your drawing skilles could help them/

-

They are flying.
(It's the only way for me to show that the water is carp-infested)
elephants
Skeletal elephants*
But the two hydras may just be a piece of dwarven humor, like "Well, if we had put skeletal whales here..."
Didn't think about the whales. Probably would've been better...
-
OK, joined the bandwagon, Huesoo.
No more flying hitler. It's a lovecraftian creature nao!
-
Shit Deon thats amazing! Barbaras creature has zero chance against mine.
The only way Barbara would if Fault did theres!
-
Ah, I'll think about it if I have some spare time. :P
-
The only way Barbara would if Fault did theres!
Man, you read my mind. The first thought when I drew that creature was "oh yeah, I remember Fault's critters, he'd perform here well!"
Meanwhile, I've drawn another thing. Geez, I've beaten my own record, now I can draw a woman with lumps and quickly color it in 3 minutes!
(http://i48.tinypic.com/10endav.png)
Mind you, please no more boob talk, this is my desert race from a forum game and they use those fat lumps to store water as camels do with their humps.
P.S. Yeah, I am on it again :\. It happens when I don't sleep for a night or more...
-
I should just stop saying words from now on.
I don't think there are any for... this.
-
I know.
Fault, I dare to ask you to draw those evolved creatures.
Your style would make it 100k times more awesome :).
I don't think there are any for... this.
Well, I think my sleepless mind worked this way:
if ( current_size < max_allowed_size ) then
current_size = current_size + 1
else
set number = number x 2
endif
:P
-
Holyshitwhatthefuckisthat?!?
-
Our bodies already do that. It's called getting fat.
Still, your artistic license. I'm just pointing out that they could have been curvier instead of... well that.
-
Well, she's just full of water. When Khymmerians are thirsty, their water carrying organs are almost flat.
Like camels' humps.
I just thought that if a humanoid race would have such organs, they could be on the front side of the body, supported by enlargened chest and wide shoulders.
-
They work like camels, do they? does that mean...
bactrian khymmerian=four normal (hah) sized breasts,
Dromedary khymmerian=two giant sized breasts?
-
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.)
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.
-
I would like to point out that camels do not store water in their humps, they store fat in them. A human would more than likely just have either a beer belly or thicker hips/bust.
But yeah, back-boobs.
-
In short: storing water in boobs = bad idea.
-
It's not boobs >.>
A human would more than likely just have either a beer belly or thicker hips/bust.
But it's not a human, that's the pretty fact about inventing fantasy races: you can shape them :P.
Do elves need pointy ears to live in forests and dwarves beards to live in caves? :D

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.
They live in caves under deserts and yeah they use heavy wrappings to travel around. Right now I research advanced designs for desert suits.
And their bones and muscles are really hard, that's their physical characteristic, so they are comfortable with it :P.
Dromedary khymmerian=two giant sized breasts?
OMG Fault, don't make me to draw it >.<
-
It would also right royally screw up their center of balance. I can imagine they spend alot of time falling over.
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).
And yeah, that, and I needed a human-like but non-human desert race for the forum game.
By the way I redrew her in a better quality. But now she's naked so I cannot upload her for obvious reasons before I make out a tribal outfit.
-
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.
-
I do not want to know what the male looks like :(
-
Cool. These babes (and guys, but I think you'll forgive me if I don't draw you one) survive by accumulating water inside of their chest-sacks. They can even share the water with other dying of thirst individuals using outer paps which resemble humans' nipples (although Khymmerians do not feed their children with milk, but they give them water instead in this way).
Sorry I don't have a time to draw appropriate apparel so I just censor out problematic places. I think it's ok to slack like this, Fault slacked with his awesome antman before, why can't I slack with a Kymmerian? :P
Warning: a mild NSFW content:
(http://i46.tinypic.com/30bpreo.png)
I will add clothing and desert gear later, also I will update current little things like a spear and a cave crawler (which serves as a bait during the hunt).
I hope my drawing skills improved from the previous case with a "wrestler" so you'll finally feel ok looking at this picture.
-
DAT ASS
-
Yeah, for balance.
Anyway, people should start posting stuff. It looks like there's not a lot of people interested in drawing anymore :(.
-
I would make something for the various art threads, but that would mean addressing deep issued with myself that have kept me from doing any art of any kind for upwards of five years.
Anybody get that feeling halfway through making a skeleton that everything is crap, the proportions don't match up and that no matter how many sketches you do none of them show any improvement whatsoever?
That is generally what keeps me from doing anything: Failure to continue after the initial sketch. And a failure of learning.
-
They can even share the water with other dying of thirst individuals using outer paps which resemble humans' nipples.
Oh Deon I fucking love you!
-
Let's get along without the "F" word :P.
-
what fiddlesticks? Fudge? Freaky? Fail? Fly? Freinds?
-
I love that creature, ingenious!
-
Deon... I don't know what to say...
-
DEON WHY??!!
-
What? I like to draw concept art of creatures I play/interact with in games, that's all. Sometimes pictures describe a situation better than words.
Meanwhile, if you don't know what to say or have silly questions, please try just a little to form some readable sentences. It takes some real effort to draw clean and colored pictures, and others should try to be at least a bit conscious. Please :P.
Oh wait I know what you want... One moment.
DEON WHY??!!
BECAUSE I CAN!!!!
Did you want such kind of answer? I mean, seriously, stop kidding :P.
-
I was going to say earlier that you should stop pretending you draw things for reasons other than that you have a fetish for them, but decided I might come off as rude.
Yeah, get a deviantart or something. As much as you could mod in your four-boobed amozonian fetish creatures into the game, this really has nothing to do with Dwarf Fortress.
-
My reaction (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcKZl7lXy7c).
-
I have deviantart, and it has to do with DF because they mimic DF style in the forum game of bay12. They relate to DF in the same way as Lagann relate to DF. Stop trying to stop me, better draw something :P, Sensei. All I see is the wall of text. I WANT TO SEE PICS!
Also you can say anything about my fetishes and likes, I won't be offended, so you can say anything, but better draw it!
-
Hey, Lagann had a beard! Instant Dwarfiness!
I don't see no beard on your camel maiden.

Is there an uncensored version of camel women?
(http://images.encyclopediadramatica.com/images/f/f7/Trool.gif)
-
I want to share this with the DF community.
not my own art, but this cartoon makes me lol, them being gnome rather than dwarf only makes it more fun.
It is so incongruous...or I think that is the correct word for what they did with the flat emotional tone of voice...and weird.
Try to figure out what the story is. (it is in Flemish by the way)

(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/no_words_for_this.png)
a dwarf had sex with a bulldozer. and then flew into space.
that's all I got from that video.
-
Santa Claus attacks a bulldozer with no roof after it knocks his mushroom house down.
FLASHBACK
*Flies into space*
-
upon exiting his house, it becomes apparent that santa claus is larger than both his house and the bulldozer which knocked his house down.
-
I'm not getting it either.
I can make out a few words that are close enough to english, when the blue guy knocks down reds house, red yells at blue and then says 'whats that' (the word 'that' was almost english spelling) and then blue says something like see you next week and runs off (I think), after that, no idea. Theres a bunch of stuff about a bulldozer and a toy one, then the farmers kids, then.... flies off to space. I stopped watching it right after they landed and there was an image of a bar I guess since I had no clue what was going on.
-
This thread is never about DF is it? :P
-
I guess its because we are all waiting for the new release and so theres not much inspiration around.
Anyways, at the start of the flashback there was something like rural maldives? Whatever ruural Moldavie meant.
-
yeah pretty close.
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.
-
dwarves farm heroin now?
-
Purple caps have medicinal uses. ;)
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. :)
-
Does that also imply that Maldivians are heroin farmers?
The whole thing made absolutely no sense, at all, and I don't see how its related to DF.
-
No. Maldavia is probably the first far eastern country to pop into the artists mind, Afghanistan would be more accurate, but current events would distract too much attention to this detail, changing the focus of the cartoon.
lack of reason is it's charm. :)
Waiting for DF yes.

Winter is upon you.

-
Damn! Now even smurfs and querxes (local variant of dwarves where i live) have entered the thread! We are all going to die! Anyway thats the most heroic and artistic display of a smurf that i have seen so far.
Or the guy did froze to death. Then he needs his spear as support and some epic background with aglacier fortress and skelks.
-
I guess its because we are all waiting for the new release and so theres not much inspiration around.
How's this for inspiration?:
The Legend of Tholtig Cryptbrain (http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=42702.msg790500#msg790500)
-
Oh I got plenty of inspiration. I just don't know if I want to put in the 8+ hours it will take to do the next one I want. :P

Oh, she's a woman. I could draw Tholtig.

It's been reduced to:
Deon posts a picture.
The next ten posts: :( :-\ :-[ :-X
Unless it's Huesoo, then it's: *awesome face* "Random swear-word"
Deon: ... What?
Neruz/Sensei: That doesn't make sense/that isn't appropriate/to do with DF.
Deon: You draw something.
Then someone does, but it's buried by spam about Deons borderline pictures.
-
Ive never just posted awesome face (Or and awesome face at all) and some random swear word in this thread. Ive posted art several times all DF related. So I have no idea where your coming from.

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.
Notice when I posted elephants or adamantine armor, Neruz/Sensei 's tone was almost the same as when I post a nekkid woman. That drives me mad :P.

Vigrid and Armok are the only ones drawn in distorted closeup.
Character portraits and stylized messages (quest notes, journal pages etc. drawn in an appropriate manner) are two great ways to make RPGs much more entertaining. Good move :).
-
I don't think that the armok pic is very slaanesh-y. This one, on the other hand...
I said it because of the Shoggoth like anatomy. That is more Slaanesh-y than Khorne-y. (Grammar help! This is terrible)

Excuse me, but it appears that the dwarf is missing the right thumb... And his right gauntlet is specifically fitted for this. :o Am I correct?

It was an artifact right gauntlet, but the dwarf who made it was a bit odd. When the champion decided he wanted to use it, well, we all make sacrifices.
-
Huh, thats cool. Gives me nother caption idea.

Sparring injury, obviously.
There's no way I could have just forgotten to draw it, right? The very notion is silly. Let us talk no more of this.

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.

That's what popped into my mind, anyway. For that matter, "Grayskull" would be a fun name to pick for a fortress. :)

Would that involve replacing the Boot with a Sock?
So all the players can charge outside into the Goblin siege to be the first one to grab it?
-
Aw, man. Now I want to do that.
It could have a city generator, and those cities could make up empires...
In violation of a production order. Go directly to jail. Do not pass Strike. Do not collect 200 dwarfbucks.
Anyway, one project at a time. Somebody else should do that one, though.

Dwarf Fortress chess?
Will it have online capabilities?
Will there be blood!?

Oh... there will be blood.
-
Oh yes. There will be blood.
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.
I might go into that as a follow-up project later.
-
Some nice art in this thread. Keep it up.

Well I might as well.

This is the only DF-related sketch I have on my computer. I drew it in a few minutes just to tinker with it.
I wanted to see how it'd turn out as old parchment. It's a marksdwarf with standard equipment (crossbow, leather, dogs)
If I fixed the edges and put some burns here and there, smudged the lines and stuff it could turn out okay.
-
D'awwww.... the dogs are vicious looking yet cute as hell.
I WANT ONE.
-
"D'aww, lookit little Fang, he just ripped the arm offa cheesemaker."
-
They look kinda small, even compared to a dwarf.
Never thought about it but aren't the bigger dogs actually in the size of a single dwarf?
-

I checked just now. Dogs are size 5. Dwarves size 6.
I suppose Urist McMarksdwarf has bred war puppies.
-
Are sizes a consistent measure (like feet) or a relative one (like levels in an RPG)
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.
-
That's a good point and a valid argument. but you just can't argue with WAR PUPPIES

Chess? (and that's the bishop?)

Probably a king given the cross on his head.
Someone doesn't play chess very often, bishops have pointy hats :D

Thanks.
Anyway, the pieces won't actually look like that.
I'm going to use tiles. Mostly, they're Sphr's dwarves.

One thing puzzles me about Deon's drawing. If camel-lady was never meant to go around naked, why does she even have "naughty bits" that need to be covered?
Wouldn't it have been easier to draw her sans naughty bits and give her the old "barbie genitalia"?
Or am I puzzling this too hard and the obvious answer is obviously the right one...

He never intended to clothe her. That was a bluff.

I figured it was a bishop as they generally have the cross on top, or the bishops hat, or both. I don't play chess myself, but I know what the pieces look like. Although the King and Queen can also have the cross on top...
-
Surprisingly, Bishops have the mitre (the bishop's hat).
And the queen doesn't have a cross.
Clearly you don't know what the pieces look like.
-
In general I do anyway, the rook, knight, and pawn are the most obvious though.

I've looked all over, and I can't find any picture by Deon that resembles a "Camel-lady". What are you talking about?

Deons' double-breasted* desert-dwelling woman.

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.
-
Wow, that is really cool.
Now I want a chess set with ships.
-
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.
-
if all the pieces are of different metal, how do you tell black pieces from white pieces?
-
you don't that what makes it extra "FUN"
-
if all the pieces are of different metal, how do you tell black pieces from white pieces?
They're all set in a black or white marble base.
-
I might incorporate the team colors into more of the model than just the base for easier recognition. But yeah, that's a sound concept.
-
It's more a piece of art that you just happen to be able to play chess with than an actual chess board.

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.
-
I think the queen was what replaced the vizier. The (probably incorrect) story behind this is that in arabic countries, the vizier was the person closest to the king in a political context. When the first europeans brought the game with them, and couldn't remember what the piece next to the king was supposed to be, so they named it after the person that always sat/stood next to the king: the queen. Which is also the reason why, in a men's medieval world, the only really powerfull woman was the one on the chessboard.
And yeah, we're derailing, so when I get home, I'll post a knight I made while tutorialling 3DS Max.

(http://i42.tinypic.com/w0j2m8.jpg)
Wow. Side two got a lot of soapmakers, there...
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.
-
On another note: The bishop in chess was originally a ship iirc.
Ironhand my fellow lama are you using the current damage model of df or the new which will be in df2010
-
That looks... epic.
What if you made it so that you can choose different races, like kobolds, humans and elves and stuff?
-
Yeah, I'm totally planning to add different chess sets eventually.
That's a big project though, and I want to get it working like AT ALL first.
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.

Woah! That looks absolutely epic! :o
Sugestion: Have crosbows atempt to shot nerby suares, but always miss.

So, Having a drawn a dwarf (or at least, a bearded guy who was supposed to be a dwarf when I started) I figured I should probably share.
He who lives above the surface.
He who fears no carp.
The Legendary Swimmer.
The Savage Dwarf.

Nice, looks like a pretty good rendition of a Neolithic hunter-gatherer dwarf.
-
As promised. No great achievement, just followed instructions, but I wanted to illustrate the possibilities of 3DS Max and recommend it to everyone interested in such designs, and also recommend the official tutorials (I never tried Blender though)
This was made in just half an hour without any experience whatsoever (except the pawn, which is the first tutorial). So yeah, even if you suck, you can do great things ;)
(http://i40.tinypic.com/aayzba.jpg)
-
Woo!
(http://i42.tinypic.com/15i43eu.jpg)
Splatters and smears are both now fully functional! And looking awesome.
Dwarves trail blood when they walk through it.
Next, basic combat templates.
This might take a while.
-
Aw, that's sweet. And now ina "D'awww, how sweet!" sort of way, more in a "That's friggin' sweet dude!" kind of way.

Please excuse that i dont stalk you or any other member of bay12games so i must have missed your myth-busting. Anyway some sources i have found on a quick and dirty search suggest that the bishop was a ship in some variations of the
Shatranj game which is the ancestor of chess. Others say that the tower was in india called "rukh" that means also a special kind of boat etc. etc. None of the sources i have found is quoteable i think.
-
Basic combat is running smoothly:
Attacking dwarf bumps target dwarf.
Blood.
Target dwarf is tossed around a bit.
If target dwarf is still alive, repeat.

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.
-
i would give him my credit-card :P.
-
Grr... I'm having a problem where dwarves don't land.
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:
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.
-
Nevermind...I can't think of what might cause your problem.
-
(http://i44.tinypic.com/9gxdv9.jpg)
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.
-
I CAN'T WAIT
-
will the chess game be moddable? Are the raw files as flexible as they are in DF?
-
hehe having a dragon in there would be heavy thought dorfs are enough for now :P
-
I was thinking more elves and goblins than dragons.
-
No raws, sorry.
Right now it's not moddable at all.
And don't count on it. My coding conventions are garbage.
I will definitely have different sets built in, though. They'll probably just be hardcoded.
-
I await your release with baited breath, Ironhand! :)
-
Hey, corpses go greyscale now. Like in DF.
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. ^^
-
What i'd do is give each smearable pixel a % chance to become 'unsmearable' when smeared.
-
I suggest that you use different shades of red for the pixels so we dont end up with a "tile" which is in a monochrome red. Also you could make the tile slippery which is bloodied.
-
I already use different shades of red, yeah.
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.
-
Oh, man, here's a thought.
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.
-
um why dont you use a boolean variable?
-
I don't suppose you could use alpha transparency and a second background layer to put smears in?
Or something like that. I'm not entirely sure how that thingy of yours works.
-
Deons' double-breasted* desert-dwelling woman.
*The second pair are water sacks.
Actually both pairs are water sacks. They don't have a "milk", they feed their children (and random thirsty strangers) with water.
Also it's said that RPG where they are is no longer being developed.
And I wanter to cloth her, I just was carried away by my StarCraft total conversion for Civilization 4. I am ripped apart by various ideas I want to participate in :).

I don't know if 'badass' is the word I would use to describe him.
More 'unstable'. Or perhaps 'deranged'. and he's holding an axe.
Whatever he is, he looks dangerous.

Dangerous is indead the perfect word to describe him. Dangerous to himself, others and the environment.

Smearing's fixed!
I actually made it go up to 30 G 30 B, so the dry, smeared blood looks a bit browner than the fresh stuff.
EDIT:
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.

So whens it coming out? *Salivates heavly, and then begins to foam at the mouth.*
also I made a few DF.general fantasy things. I didn't finish my dwarves but my favorite one I made is the goblin, it moved and acted just how I wanted it to.

You made it a Rar, does anyone have a link for WinRar?
-
winrar? that outdated junk?
try 7zip it's the bomb! http://www.7-zip.org/
though it's .. windows only
-
I actually use Winzip to open .rars. Because it does that.
It's a 'free trial' though so I have to reinstall it every month or so. :P
-
Really? I downloaded the trial and all it does is pester me to buy the real version, but lets me use the trial version as much as I want.
-
Heh, I'm using Winrar for .rar files and every time I open it, it also says that the trial has expired and offers me to buy it, but I can use it whenever I want.
I rarely use it anyways.
-
Oh man, oh boy, oh howdy... did I mix up Winzip and Winrar?
-
Use 7zip. It's free and supports every single format. Also faster.

Eh... everything right now is just drawn pixel by pixel. Zooming would require a pretty major reworking.
Sorry.
Feel free to modify or replace the spritesheets, though.
Just make sure your new one is the same size and has the same name.

nice style there, nogibator. It flows very well.

Over in the interface overhaul thread, Zwei suggested that a theoretical graphical Dwarf Fortress should have menus that look like an illustrated manuscript.

I wonder if anyone here will take that challenge. ;D

Wow, the chess program is neato. Although I noticed that it doesn't restrict where your dudes can go and they don't recognize turns or alignments.
Would also be fun to just have the AI randomly move people around and see who wins :D
-
The chess program dosn't work for me, nothing moves adnd it dosnt respond to the mouse.
-
I don't know what to tell you.
Do you have the latest version of Java?
-
I think I do.
Maybe my two screen setup is interfering with it for some reason? Just an intuition.

The bottom one Hueso posted is far, far closer than any of the other ones to actually representing dwarves that occur in gameplay.

Been doodling a bit at school lately. This is the first time in my life that I actually draw for fun. Not just cause it's some lame school project or I'm trying to make a point, etc. So I though I'd post here this badly drawn pic of a dwarf butcher with a (supposed to be) cat.
I know. It's quite bad. But do you see potential, in it's very literal meaning, in it? :P
(http://i39.tinypic.com/11ju141.jpg)
Hehe. Had no idea how bad that helmet looked until I put it in my comp. Obviously that's 100% hand drawn.
This, btw, is not from the better end of my drawings. But the only one I have in digital form.
EDIT: resized that monster. It's still a bit big, though.

Them legs are indeed wierd, they should be much thicker to carry that body aruond.

It's a kobold. Not exactly a DF kobold, more based on the ones from my webcomic, but it's still DF-related by extension...
-
Looks more like a Dwarfbold, or a Koborf.
-
That ain't no beard. That is just chin scraggle.
-
Looks more like a Dwarfbold, or a Koborf.
its clothes are stolen from dwarven merchants.
In fact, it's wearing the same hat as Urvan, the leader of the dwarven labour party in Effigies:
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/Urvan.png)
as for the beard, it's supposed to resemble a billy-goat's chin-hair rather than a proper dwarven beard.

well I guess if someone were to mod them in.
I mean, orcs are basically canon in DF, even though they are not vanilla creatures.

orcs are not cannons they are orcs.

CANON is not CANNON.

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.
Also: Excellent Kobold Fault. Apologies if this has been asked before, but what media do you use?
Draw on paper with black ink, colour in MS paint. the colour removal process in MS paint gives images a scratchy, pixellated look that you can't get anywhere else!

Maybe it's not about things that are in Dwarf Fortress, but the spirit (of fire) of dwarf fortress?
In other words, draw grotesque and impractical mod creatures.

Draw the results of someone giving dwarves firebreath.

Weren't Tolkien's orcs goblins? I mean iirc they called themselves 'Uruk' and humans started to use 'Orc' or something instead of goblin.
-
There was no difference between goblins and orcs in Middle-Earth. Goblins were smaller breed, that's all.
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".
-
Indeed, all we know is that Saruman bred or created the Uruk-Hai from Orcs.
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.
-
Less orcs, more dwarves. Scratch that. More squats.

very demonic looking, for a goblin leader.

If that one claimed to be an avatar of a war god, I'd certainly believe it.

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.

Idea for a comic:
A dwarf lies in bed while the other sits on a chair.
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 tend to draw creatures after I encounter them and they make an impression on me. Notice how the majority of my pics are mountain or cave creatures?
this is because I usually build my forts in mountain ranges, not in enchanted forests... I rarely encounter creatures from those biomes.
I guess I could take a request, if there's a particular creature you'd like to see drawn.
-
Fluffy Wambler.
Needs to be done.
-
Oooooooh yes, theres this Forgotten Beast I met that I wish to be drawn.
Cethutha MurkGills was a forgotten beast. It was the only one of its kind. A gigantic feathered alligator. It has wings and it has a gaunt appearance. Its jade feathers are downy. Beware its poisonous gas! Cethutha was associated with water, treachery and caverns.
-
I would also like my forgotten beast be made. He's a giant humanoid composed of vomit, and has three long curly tails. Beware it's webs!

Fluffy Wambler.

right now I currently have two finished drawings, which need to be scanned into the computer and coloured. I am not able to do so right now (I only have computer access for ten more minutes...), so I will use this time to sketch some of the drawings you've requested. I've prepared a list:

I'm pretty sure there was at least one feathered alligator in there.

Startling discovery! according to the raw files in the new version, Fluffy Wamblers are HUMANOID!! When I heard of this I immediately altered their file so wamblers had round, one-part bodies (I kept all their other features, and coloured according to their raw traits)

I don't like the humanoid image of them... Remind me too much of those GODDAMN MOUNTAIN GNOMES
That, and the pilsbury dough boy
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.
-
That's enough!!!
[DESCRIPTION:A fluffy, pudge-filled being, known for its warm heart and stumble bumblings.]
Omg what.
pudge-filled
pudge
(http://megaobzor.com/load/forum/pudg.jpg)
IT IS FILLED WITH UNDEAD ABOMINATIONS!!!
*Runs away screaming*
-
examining the raws, pudge is purple fat that also functions as muscle and nerve tissue. Their bodies only contain pudge... no other organs. Which leaves me to ask:
when fluffy wamblers gnaw on food, where does it go?!?
-
It doesn't say it's a pudge-being, only that it's 'filled' with pudge. It may have other organs, but they all must share space with the pudge.
-
It obviously warps to the teleport fridge (http://www.tuvie.com/teleport-fridge-futuristic-fridge-which-teleport-your-food/)!

Converted directly into more pudge.

The way I picture cave fish is inspired by this passage from THE HOBBIT:
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.
-
I always envisioned Fluffys as Rabites (from Secret of Mana ect...)
This new information will take a while to digest. (Nyuk nyuk nyuk.)
-
Now I wish DF had a way to use pictures in descriptions... I would SO use Fault's drawings then.
-
I wish it was possible to make a graphics set for DF with the 138x138 tiles I use for GRAND ADVENTURE
the display would be terrible though, you'd only fit like 5x10 tiles on the screen at once

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d188/Bloogonis/wambler.png)
The bit about "stumble bumbling" always gave me the impression that they were asymmetrical three legged. The sort of unstable that is supper adorable.
-
Adorable? I'd be scared to death of that thing.
-
Anyone else thinking that the new forgotten monsters seems like taken out of H.P Lovecraft books?
-
I found something disturbing in a cavern lately: "many fluffy wamblers". It was flickering from place to place.
How many dwarves have been killed due to the previously unknown swarming behavior of fluffy wamblers? We must spread this information before more lives are lost!
-
Regarding the Tengen Toppa gurren Lagann that was earlier:
Instead of driving a pick through the heavens, how about taking a pick and dig straight through the earth until you hit the other side?
-
If you survive the immense pressures and heat of the core, then yes that would work.
They are probably going to wear tri-dilithium adamantine alloy suits anyway.
-
What? Blasphemy! The world is flat! There's nothing down there, and there're edges of the world!
-
I think in the worldgen parameters you should be able to set whether the world is a flat plane, a globe (wraps east/west) or a torus (wraps east/west and north/south)
who knows, it could effect oceans and rivers, or trade routes or something.
-
Right now it is impossible. It would be fun to circumnavigate the globe without the fast travel though :P.

You know how mom's think their newborns are so cute? Then you see one and he's practically covered in hair? Eesh...oh, well, it is kinda dwarfy:

Startling discovery! according to the raw files in the new version, Fluffy Wamblers are HUMANOID!! When I heard of this I immediately altered their file so wamblers had round, one-part bodies (I kept all their other features, and coloured according to their raw traits)

you're right.

Heres a fun fact that I found out when making iron men fight in the arena: they drop statues of miscellaneous stuff (one per ironman I think). Makes you wonder what exactly they really look like even though the raws give them a humanoid form.
Maybe they have some sort of amorphous core which takes some random form when they die.
-
it's really epic when you kill an iron man(or bronze colossus, if you manage that) in adventure mode and it turns into a statue of you.
Maybe they have some sort of amorphous core
So they're like transformers now?
-
Are you insinuating that that stuff is enertron? Or whatever else the stuff was in Transformer's canon?
-
I thought they were just filled with superdense metal, or something.
the hell is enertron?

In the arena its random at least, I don't know how it works during fort or adventure mode.
Enertron was the power source of the Transformers, not what made them transform. I was just giving a hypothesis on why they turn into a random statue, in the arena at least.
-
I always thought iron man looked like... well, this

Energon. Derived from the word energy. Comes in cubes.
If anything, DF iron men's gas is energon, not their metal.
Huh, that actually makes some sort of sense. Do iron men die if all their gas leaks out?

Odd, I always figured they looked like this:

DOUBLE POST, OH SNAP
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.
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/bloodman.png)
Oh and spoiler alert. probably should have said that before I posted the pic

Awesome, looks like something you'd see in a Silent Hill game.

Woah. *wets self*

Given how easily they are killed in the arena, I picture them as humanoid blobs which vaguely resemble a giant amoeba filled with dark fluid and barely able to hold their form.
Theres some other grotesque stuff down there as well, perhaps even more grotesque than those guys.
-
I refuse to read the creature_next document until I a) encounter the creature in-game or b) hear about it on the forums enough that it's spoiled for me anway.

Anything You'd like me to draw? I mean seriously, I've got a ton of ARTIST'S BLOCK right now
-
Might want to try something resembling the Vivec concept art (http://www.uesp.net/morrow/preview/vivec.jpg), which I always found to be rockin'.
I also want to raise a point on how much I love how you handle eyes. From the fantastical blank eyes of the fantasy races as opposed to the normal ones of the Humans and even the complete lack of eyes for demons. More rockin' concepts.
-
Fault, why not make an art commission thread in Creative Projects?

Sure. Though I'd have to post it in the engraver's guild, as it isn't really DF fan art.

thanks, Duke! It's nice to hear some appreciation for creativity.

Well i could make a flamboyantly gay pink golem if you like.
DMNPC's if handled properly, can be entertaining.

Actually, don't they already exist as Shardminds, as of PHB3? In all their artwork, they're
red darkish pink.

fourth edition has gloom golems, so I don't see why there can't be golems of other emotions.
In flamboyancy an emotion?

Actually you're right. Cept i don't think DF's Amethyst Golems are psychic, and Shardminds can be whatever colour they like.

No, but i'm sure with MAGIC! it could be done anyway.

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.

colouring element-men (plump helmet is totally an element) is really easy cause most of them only have one major colour.

Hey, it's the gay dwarf cousin of Pyramid head man!
Just kidding. Fault, why must you inspire me to draw?! Why must you bring change to my sedentary lifestyle?!
DAMN YOU FAULT

Seriously. Keep up the amaaazing *insert amethyst man here* work, Faultie.

Plump Helmet is an element now?
Is Elf an element too?
We could have Elfmen in the depths and we'd never know it...
-
*gasp* and Humanmen
-
you're never safe... any elf you talk to could secretly be an elfman...
now that I think of it, plumphelmetmen are likely classed under animalmen rather than elementalmen.

Plantmen sounds better... but then he'd be the only one of his kind!

Unless modders make longland grass men, or pig tail men, he's all alone in the world.

Does that mean the Hugs and Kisses Elemental is actually the Hugs and Kisses Conceptual?

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.
Don't worry, I will blame Fault.

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.

Mot was a forgotten beast. A gigantic quadruped composed of green glass. It has a pair of squat antennae and it has a gaunt appearance. Beware its deadly spittle! Mot is associated with water, misery and caverns.

Nokor was a mint green brute. She was one of the only ones of her kind.
A huge noseless warthog twisted into humanoid form. Its mint green hair is short and even.
Beware its poisonous vapors! Nokor was associated with suicide, death and blight.

I wanted to give the aliased look a try. Still practising on shading and anatomy as well.
-
... That's supposed to be female?!
ಠ_ಠ
-
Where did the beard come from, and where did the hair go?
-
I actually hadn't noticed it was supposed to be female when I started drawing it. I figured gender wasn't terribly important for something that doesn't reproduce. And, yeah, the hair isn't really noticeable since I wasn't sure how to draw the texture.
-
Yeah, I'm just saying...
:D
-
It does have a slight feminine look to it (mainly in the hands and legs), but hey, its a demon.
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?

Is the full-sized view of Akigagak's avatar the entire picture?
Also, that green glass Forgotten Beast was incredible. The shading was really good; it looked almost as if it was a picture.
-

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 once found a engraving of a skinless demon in adventure mode, It said nothing else about it, and I didn't think legends gave detail on demon features.
Also I deleted that region.

BTW I started that vomit man forgotten beast a while ago, but I haven't gotten down to colouring it yet.

Yay! I really like your art style. And I can imagine that wandering the bowels of the world. The new forgotten beasts are awesome.
-
It... it looks like it tried to have facial features, but couldn't quite get it right. I can see something that looks like an eye, and something that looks like it could have been meant to be a mouth-analog...
That's a really weird creature.

@NinjaE8825: I like that. Makes for a neat portrait. Also looks like it'd be a good avatar pic for someone.
-

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.
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.

Very nice. And with I've seen goblins described as gray in game and others that are green.

The various shades of goblin:
[TL_COLOR_MODIFIER:ASH_GRAY:1:DARK_GREEN:1:DARK_OLIVE:1:EMERALD:1:FERN_GREEN:1:GRAY:1:GREEN:1:JADE:1:LIME:1:MINT_GREEN:1:MOSS_GREEN:1:OLIVE:1:PINE_GREEN:1:SEA_GREEN:1:SLATE_GRAY:1:SPRING_GREEN:1]
So, yeah, grey or green with quite a few variations of green.
-
Nevermind their skin, how about their HAIR!?
[TL_COLOR_MODIFIER:AMETHYST:1:CARMINE:1:CRIMSON:1:DARK_SCARLET:1:DARK_VIOLET:1:FUCHSIA:1:HELIOTROPE:1:INDIGO:1:LAVENDER:1:LAVENDER_BLUSH:1:LILAC:1:MAROON:1:PLUM:1:PUCE:1:PURPLE:1:SCARLET:1:VERMILION:1:VIOLET:1]
Looks like Dark Scarlet is one of the less bizarre colours you can get.
-
so, Goblins are all fugly green redheads?
Damn Gingers. :P
-
Those are all various shades of red and purple, take a look at Elven hair:
[TL_COLOR_MODIFIER:GOLDEN_YELLOW:1:GOLDENROD:1:MOSS_GREEN:1:ORANGE:1:PUMPKIN:1:RED:1:SAFFRON:1:SCARLET:1:SILVER:1:WHITE:1]
Even though they have white available, neither elves or goblins have the modifier that gives them graying and eventually white hair as they age.
-
That makes sense, what with them being immortal and all.
-
"Oh no, my hair isn't yellow, it's saffron!"
Man, those elves sound like amethystmen...

The painting is a portrait, so I don't think there are any body references anywhere apart from parts of the upper body (http://www.myartprints.com/kunst/rembrandt_hamerszoon_van_rijn/300_v1-1.jpg). If you feel like messing around with it then feel free, but I would be satisfied with just the head.

seriously, I think I've been basing my request drawings not on when they were asked but how interesting the request sounded. You know, stuff where you'd go "Oh shit man I gotta draw that!"
also I don't have time right now, I'll see if I can do it later at some point

Oh, okay! Hmmm... What about the lobster-man with lava breath that incinerated my fortress?

whoa, did that actually happen?! was it a demon, or a forgotten beast?
can I see his full description? (find him in the units list or the legends file)

Kod was a forgotten beast. A gigantic lobster twisted into humanoid form. It has a pair of large mandibles and has a gaunt appearance. Beware its deadly spittle! Kod is associated with magma, misery and wealth.

it could like, wander around crying tears of molten gold

Yeah, that'd be cool.
I hate Kod. He killed my dorfies.

Since Fault is busy being awesome, I decided to take a stab at drawing that cave fish man.

I contemplated giving it clothes, but decided against it. I spends most of its time underwater. Rags aren't going to help it keep warm.

I know! He originally had huge boggly eyes that made him look even more like a frog, but then I remembered that DF cave fish are blind. I don't know how to tell if something is a frogman or a fishman without cutting it apart and seeing if it has gills.
NinjaE8825, if that is your real name:
Yeah, that looks good. Nice scene.

I guess you have to give it gills, a fishy head, etc etc.
Nice work anyways. Wants me to try to contribute.

NINJAE8825: nice usage of purple and red in the scenery, their gloomy features really make the adamantine sword stand out
-
Fault, I really want to see you draw a strangler. They are the creepiest things in the game IMO.
-
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.
-
speaking of modding, I've been thinking of adding more creatures to the CREATURE_NEXT_UNDERGROUND file.
(I really want to make molten gold men...)
has anyone else modded new creatures into Dwarf Fortress 2010? creatures that would be interesting to draw, by any chance?
Fault, I really want to see you draw a strangler. They are the creepiest things in the game IMO.
NOTED. I'll have to look at the raws to draw one, I've never encountered any in-game
-

I always thought goblins were about the same size as humans or elves? I mean, they're just corrupted elves. seems like they would have the same size.

According to the raws, Dwarves are size 6000. Humans 7000. Elves 6000. Goblins 6000.

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.
Oddly, though none of them have anything that seems to actually make dwarves Stout compared to elves or goblins.
-
ahort Elves???
Elves, Dwarves, and Goblins see eye to eye now, in a way.
-
...huh.
-
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.
Oh, and speaking of elves - this is Gica Avethololama Elí, which means something like "Gica the Bladed Desert Blossom".
Swordself extraordinaire, her exploits include dragonslaying, goblinslaying, demonslaying (she's the adventurer in the HFS picture, and yes, she made it out again)
and lots n' lots of crundle-slaying. Currently retired, trying to figure out how to deal with the horrors she's unleashed upon an unsuspecting world whilst raising some kids she rescued from goblins.

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...
-
6 feet is a bit much for a medieval guy, though.
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.

Odd conversation...
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.
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.
-
Actually, the size tags are volume now. So elves might be just as tall as humans, but skinnier. Dorfs are quite short and very stocky. Goblins might be somewhere in between.
EDIT: Maybe I should actually read the previous posts before posting?
-

I find it highly amusing that Goblins have anime-colored hair now.
NinjaE8825: Nice adventurer! I'm really getting this "Hell yeah! Let's go kill some monsters and risk our lives!" - adventurer vibe from her facial expression.
-
OMIGOD FAULT!
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.
-
that also happens when they walk in the rain!
request noted.
-
Depending on how much you like that kind of drawing, this might be interesting to you(as a suggestion).
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.
-
I drew this yesterday and posted it somewhere else. I added some color and a nice stone backdrop. This was a forgotten beast that I tried to lure into a trap using the dog as bait. Little did I know he could tear through iron bars like they were paper. He eventually made it into my main fortress but my axedwarves were able to finish him off. Still got plenty of meat left over from that battle. I think I might take a shot at drawing some other interesting forgotten beasts.

Made another. This one was kinda complicated. I had a hard time picturing a leech with feathered wings so I just put the feathers on it's back.

Oops, looking back at the description, I realize I forgot about the mandibles. Oh well, I guess the lower abdominal claws could count as mandibles, considering they're head-level.
I made him greyish because there are no red or blue lobsters in DF, only pale cave lobsters.
-
Always top quality work with you.
-
his arms don't match.
-
it's a fogrotten beast.
it doesn't need matching arms.

They could be like hermit crab claws... but then the difference would be much more evident.

Fuckin' awesome, Fault. I'm gonna try to mod them in (sans the magma breath and hueg size) and call them... Lobstermen!

glad you like it!
should be pretty easy to mod them in, just take the HUMANOID_TEMPLATE the other animalmen use and apply it to CAVE_LOBSTER instead of CAVE_FISH

I tried doing that, but tissue layers fucked it up.

Make sure you also mod in a heavy thermic lance, otherwise your dwarves will have no chance.

I'd imagine that it was cleaning that made him happy... which sorta makes him fit in real well with the new, neurotic DF dwarves.

Is that a live elf behind the F?

No, that's an elfephant. It combines the best features of elves and elephants. It is amazingly agile and can kill with a look.
Somebody should draw this.

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.

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.

Well, machines and demons really. By which I mean the Lovecraftian kind.

it's not drawing them that I have a problem with.. it's drawing them a second time and making sure they look the same.

Practicing with drawing things from life is supposed to help with that.

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.

Lots of nice stuff in Krumbs drawings.

This is pretty much what i just did in adventure mode:
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

Ooh, see how many boys and girls of each race you can pick out (note: all the dwarf kids have beards).
Edit: moved the picture to the bottom of the post for ease of use.

wow you actually accomplished something in adventure mode

You have really nice sketches, unlikely to be flamed anywhere. I will be using them as reference to understand how to draw living things. How long did each one take?

I'm not sure, I never really time myself or look at the clock. Most of them were started late at night and finished in the morning, I would say each one took no more than an hour.

Didn't really mean all goblins have pink hair.
But still... Pink Hair? On a goblin?
Crimson red yes, fits goblins perfactly with their violence.
Purple is alright, But pink?
I'm... going to enjoy killing goblins more then ever.

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.

It looks like some monster from a childrens book. Have you changed your style Deon?

I started a new fortress in a new world and this was the first forgotten beast I came across. He swam around a lot in the lower cave and didn't really seem too interested in finding his way inside my fort. I decided it was better to send my swordsdwarves out to turn him into a pin cushion before he finally stopped procrastinating and caught me with my pants down. He really didn't put up much of a fight, though.

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.

Because of the comments on the last pic I did, I redid it for my friend, and removed the old one from photobucket.
This one's very nice, but I liked the old one too! I'm glad I already saved it to my hundreds-strong dwarf fortress epicness folder. ;D

And I am the friend the artwork by Ledi was being made for. I liked both of them (even if one vanished :'( ). Being friends with an artist is such a chore. I have to constantly think up things for her to draw. 8)

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.

You mean a martial trace entered a plump helmet man, duuuuuuuudde.
Plump Helmet Men are totally Myconids; they spend their entire lives chilling in Mushroom gardens, zonked out on hallucinogens and spores.

Ledi, I love that style you got going on.
Deon, I can't wait to play with those new castes.
and because I'm a spaz and couldnt finish a drawing, have some (very) old DF scibbles instead.

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)

It is awesome. "Knife-Ears".

I thought that's his surname in common English (Cetaeta, Ceta=Knife Eta=Ear in Elvish) at first but then I understood the joke.
Hmmm the fact that "knife" and "ear" are very much alike in Elvish is suspicious.

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.
Actually if you wanted to be anatomically correct the antment would need to have two rows of pectoral muscles, otherwise their lower pair of arms would be pointless...

Just butting in here on "knife-ears".
Dragon's Age was likely played.

And need we seriously? Maybe he got the age wrong. Clearly he plays dwarf fortress. He's also a lot more literate than saying that he's a 12 year old would imply.
Anyway, cool goblin.

There's a few 11 and 12 yr olds on the forum. I admit I also had to look up the release date of Kill Bill, thinking it was maybe 2 yrs ago.
Time flies, especially as you get older... See, it's suddenly 3:35 AM already.

Fault, don't even allude to that.
allude to what? I'm just saying maybe he doesn't want his personal information discussed.

Meh. The Internet can give younger people a bit of an unwarranted rough time. It's important to remember that 14-year-olds are in high school, even though they seem tiny. I started being active online (that sounds like a euphemism for porn. Whatever. ON FORUMS, THEN) around that age. It really does depend on the person.

Ultimuh, you have such a badass name. Anders. I mean, that beats my stupid name to da curb!

I should say it's badass! "Anders" is the scandinavian equivalent of "Andrew", which means WARRIOR
mine name's pretty good too (it means "nobleman") but it's not badass in the least.

Mine means Saint Joseph. :V

Ultimuh, you have such a badass name. Anders. I mean, that beats my stupid name to da curb!
Well, thanks for thinking it's badass, I have always thought it was rather.. plain.

but never really thought much about it.. untill now..
-

INCORRECT.
It actually means MANLY.
MANLY.
-
the
babynames website completely legitimate dictionary said it meant man/warrior.
so I guess a direct definition would be MAN WARRIOR
-
MAN WARRIOR OF MANLY MEN OF MANLINESS
Ultimuh is rated M for Manly.

Ok, now it's taken a turn for the.. wierd...

SPEAKIN' OF WHICH
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/kracknob-1.png)
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.
-
He needs a mace or hammer with that name. Probably a nice flanged mace.

...and righteous scars...

that is an epic goblin :) i no longer feel bad when my entire army is destroyed by them :)

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 which means I'm going to have to spend an inordinate amount of time between now and the weekend figuring out how to convince wamblers to occasionally breed a black variant, made entirely from funstone (and a non-vermin).
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.

Utilizing the milked material will be impossible, both because it can't be used for anything, and because there's no way to get it out of the barrels. But the rest is possible.

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

Guy on the right: LOL I has beartrap on face.
In summary....
Awesome. I cannot wait to see these guys in effigies.

I effin love beartraps! Guy needs a feather or something imho though. Something hanging on the back.
Would be awesome to see a gobbo with "iron animal trap" on it's head.
-
Guy needs a feather or something imho though. Something hanging on the back.
which one and where?
-

which one and where?
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.
-
that's why I added the little pointy bit at the back of his hood. But you're right, it could be more prominent...
Besides Shift already has a feather attached to his head somehow. I don't want to use the same acessory on too many characters.
That and feathers aren't all that goblin-y.
-
I don't think he needs a frowny face. I'm sure a goblin who is lucky enough to get a bear trap installed would be ecstatic all the time. In fact, the reason the other two are frowning is because they didn't get the bear trap installed. But something does need to be on the forehead. Perhaps more pronounced hair?
-
But something does need to be on the forehead. Perhaps more pronounced hair?
the forehead inside of his hood is supposed to be black (except for his eyes), I just haven't coloured it in yet. :-\
just posting this here cause it's interesting:
Goblins are Immortal, and are capable of going into hibernation underground for centuries at a time. They are very strong for their size. They can see in the dark, but going out in the sunlight makes them dizzy and nauseous. They can move very fast in complete darkness. They can survive losing a considerable amount of blood.
Goblins experience pain differently than other races - severed limbs and bruising cause them no discomfort, but they do feel pain from burning, organ damage, and head trauma. Goblin blood burns and coagulates when it contacts iron (but not steel!). This is very painful to the goblin.
-
That's awesome. So, they have a weakness against iron, like traditional fey?
-
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.
Iron weaponry should leave really nasty wounds on goblins... like big, smoking burning scars filled with coagulated blood.
-
Awesome. Then dorfs could just make repeater traps with -menacing iron spikes- and win the day!
YAYYYY
-
not really fan art related, but
their culture is Martial and warlike, with a very blunt sense of honour (you have wronged me. I'm going to kill your entire village). Goblin society is organized into three social classes, each with an associated clothing colour: yellow for working class, Red for Soldier class, blue for ruling class. The ruling class includes the royal family and the priesthood. Goblin priests serve as messangers to the troll tribes that goblins sometimes associate with.
-
Awesome. I like your ideas, maaaaaaaan.
-
I like the art, but they dont give the "Ah! they are going to kill me!" feeling. for one they have good posture, something you wouldnt see in a society where your most valued skill is ducking someones rusty blade. I could see an odd one out having good posture and an austere expression. but for the most part shouldnt they be more slavering and groping for meat or babies or your head?
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.
-
But goblins are Cunning! :P
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?
-
...For a given value of "sense", if you take the view that DF is heavily invested in LOTR/LOTRclones, and in LOTR essentially goblins=orcs.
Regardless, I agree somewhat, in that Fault's goblins aren't the gangly creatures I envisage, but he's said that his Effigies ones are Special. And nobody can fault his artistic style! oh god the puns are strong today
-
Well, even in LOTR we had Orcs for the sneaky and Uruk-Hai for the facestompy. Except the Black Orcs. They're only mentioned in, like, one page, but the Black Orcs are aller big and strong than everyone.
-
The main advantage the Uruk-Hai had over the Orcs\Goblins was Intelligence. The Uruk-Hai were as smart as men and thus were able to use tactics and training in battle.
The Black Orcs of Morder were just bigger, angrier normal Orcs.

Nothing to See here, please move along.

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 :).

I felt compelled to contribute in another small way to this thread.
Inspiration gained from my first go at the new DF Arena.
The only thing missing from this drawing is the army of chimps that were drawing the elephants blows away from the dwarf.

O gods that's hilarious. The mayor really told you to kill their leader?
-
It's actually a really common bug. You go up to a mayor for a quest, he goes, "Dude, go kill this demon. Yeah, he's right in the village." He forgets to mention that this demon is their civ leader and they will all try to kill you the moment you attack him.

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.

I drew an Ironblood pic today in school. He was holding a severed lions head and it was titled as so:
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.

On IRC we were discussing about constructing your own wagons in fort mode. I managed to quickly make the idea degrade into forts on wheels, fueled by magma and moved by windmills in the roof and running over kobolds and elves with its wheels. Someoene draw this, now. :P

The ampersands on the wheels are a genius touch

While that is quite a war wagon, I pictured something like the whole fort on wheels. Something really irrational like a large chunk of rock hollowed out with halls and such on giant wheels (or even walker legs) terrorising the country... :P

King of the Goblins? Nice but.. he needs a crown or something.. or maybe he dosn't.. I dunno.. Looks awesome tough.
-
Yes the king of gobblins looks badass. He needs a crown though. Of dwarven bone.
-
I tried him with a crown. didn't look all that good. You need to see his BALDNESS
so I gave him gold earrings instead.
-
shouldn't he be a demon?
-
shouldn't he be a demon?
They WORSHIP demons, but demons aren't nesseceraly their kings/queens/leaders.
-
goblins have [Variable_positions:all]
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)
-
You could go for a thin band that still shows his forehead.
-
that might look too elf-y.
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.

Ah, that makes sense.
-
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.
Iron weaponry should leave really nasty wounds on goblins... like big, smoking burning scars filled with coagulated blood.
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.
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.
-
MAKE WAY FOR THE KING OF GOBLINS
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.
...you could call it a species-wide mutation in the hemoglobin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobin) gene.
Oh, come on, you know that should be the hemogoblin gene.

I have no idea what you are talking about, so I guess it's not. It's a picture in the Warhammer (fantasy) rulebook, called "the automorial of Middenheim".

The soul of true Metal is to look balls-shatteringly rediculous. The more rediculous you look, the better.
Metal as a musical genre is basically built around being more rediculous than everyone else. Which, of course, is where Power Metal enters the game...

Also, fishblade. Hell yeah.

The "fishblade" image has stuck with me for a while... I've been looking for a place to use it.
I think a crown would work ok, but not that specific crown. Needs to be more...evil.
it should be more elaborate and pointy, like the rest of his gear.
-
I think a really thin crown would be nice. That one covers up too much. It doesn't have to be small, but consisting of thin components I think is best, since his Metal Forehead is so iconic.

The crown should menace with spikes of villainy.

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.

Sweet.

sorry I couldn't make it all that epic, I mean there's really only one way a Pony can kick something, and it's not that interesting.

Actually it is kinda epic.
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..... "

MAKE WAY FOR THE KING OF GOBLINS
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/Rook.png)
I love him too much. Couldn't resist doing this when I got up this morning...
Crowns indeed didin't seem to fit the dude... so instead I put his crown on his personal heraldry!
(http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t199/sebbythefreak/Faultgoblinking.jpg)

That... is actually pretty dwarfy.
-
Izzat a chainsword that bugger's totin', Sebby? Looks like it could be a chainsword. That'd be pretty awesome, ta' be honest. Children for the
impersonating demon thief god?
-
No, it's a form of macuahuitl (http://"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macuahuitl"). Also known as "obsidian short sword" in Dwarf Fortress.
-
Looks to me like an occluded front on the edge of a short hockey stick. :)
In all seriousness, though, awesome job.
-
DANG, that's awesome!
I just started a sketch this morning.
I'll probably post it later, when I'm done with it.
Don't expect it to be as hot as that stuff there, though.
-
Quick! Fault! Give The goblin king a canon name so that he becomes a fad!
-
I decided to go ahead and post what I've got done.
I think it's pretty good! Let me know what I'm doing wrong, though.
I haven't really done people/faces before, but I'm very happy with it.
Also, I'm not using any sources or anything, so my proportions might be off.
But I think they're close enough. Especially since he's a dwarf rather than a human.
(http://i39.tinypic.com/ea42uq.jpg)
Now to braid his beard....
-
Yea! lets placee that goblin king among Ironblood and Cacame!
After that, we need a human of eual awesome and personality to arise form the anals of history. and a kobold. Then we make them a superhero team.
I think the goblin kings crown shuld be on a stick BOLTED TO HIS SKULL, and look sort of like a anti-halo.
-
I dunno, while the Goblin King does look badass he has not done anything sufficiently badass to be rank among the other guys. Quick, somebody look through some legends for a goblin king!
-
I have a first name for him. "Zozlo". I like it. And if you look throught the raws, it makes sense. :P

It is goblin for "king".

I am honoured, Seb.
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.
But it's not really a dwarf fortress-sounding name...
-
To me, he'll always be Goblin Townsend!

That dwarf looks just like that weird flying beast off of The Neverending Story:

Good gravy! That is a disturbing picture.
If my dwarf is anywhere near that distressing, I apologize profusely.
I might post him again when he's not pale as bleached chalk.
Then again, maybe not. I'm getting a whole lot more
"he looks like a gorilla/he looks like a dragon thing"
than "here's what you should do to make him better".
I was kinda hoping for constructive criticism.

Those wrinkles under the eye are not natural, you could really use some kind of reference. Also eyebrows.

I think I told you in the engraver's guild to make the divide between the skin and the hair more obvious.

Well then. Try to add some details to his beard, because this solid white is a bit weird. Looks like tusks and a huge tongue :) It just need a bit of texture I think. Also, his upper arm seems to be abnormally short, almost nonexistent.

If it was DF fanart the goblin king would have bright magenta hair.

For another forum I made a thread where I drew a DF comic everyday until it was released. There were quite a few so I wont post them all, but here are a few of my favourites.

Who needs a naggy wife and a crying baby when you can have an expertly crafted chair.

This image was for a DF themed CYOA. I imagine that's what a miner would see the moment he broke into a chasm.
-
Those are damn nice comics. I applause, Krumbs! :) Why didn't you color them?
-
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 i can't draw female features it protects their pretty faces from the harsh sand.
(http://www.zen102301.zen.co.uk/drawing/sandraiders.png)
-
And their women are flat because of those damn desert winds. I see :P.
Also, this.
(http://www.imagechicken.com/uploads/1273425527092859400.png)
I've made it into a big picture but I don't want to upload it in a big form until I add more details.
-
I love that magenta hair
-
Thanks. I've read somewhere in this thread that if Fault's gobbo was DF-related he would have purple hair...
Also I work too much with magenta backgrounds in creature sets :P.
And yeah, sorry, no boobies this time. But you should already know WHY did he take that elven head with him, now when I drew it. I am not sure if I should draw a follow-up pic though...
-
cool I think I read that too ^^
-
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.
-
Vester: shoulda drawn the groundhog biting with every part of its face ;)
Krumbs: Those are just great, hands down
Deon/Sindayven: Hey alright. He doesn't have his fishblade though :(
-
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.
Look again, it looks like she has no breasts and all. All I see are round muscles called "pectoralis".
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:
(http://www.imagechicken.com/uploads/1273427730047714000.png)
-
Nice comics Krumbs. Typically Dwarf FOrtress.
-
Her right breast has a visible shadow underneath, suggesting to me that it does indeed hang down and thus fulfills the body on the right side of your image. Granted the image itself has a few small issues with clothes and such, but I'm under the impression that they are indeed hanging.
-
It doesn't deny the fact that they are between A and C :).
-
See, Deon? It doesn't matter what you draw, everyone will still end up arguing about breasts. :)
The expression on that severed head is just UNNERVING, by the way. Not that it shouldn't be, mind, dead people can't really choose what they look like. As to why he is carrying around a head, maybe he's an adventurer? Adventurers do crazy shit like that all the time.
-
It doesn't deny the fact that they are between A and C :).
Of all the things that may be wrong with the picture, trust you Deon to pick on that particular one ... ;)
I'm not very confident drawing the female figure generally, I should work at it ...
ANTMEN on the other hand, well, thats a different story.

SCATHING CRITICISM: ANATOMICAL ERROR! Ants, (all insects I belive,) have all their legs attached to the metathorax. Also, they only have three body segments: Head, metathorax and abdomen. Yours seems to have four.
With the earlier, much-bashed female figure, I think the main problem was that the torso bit was too tall compared to the rest. Move the hips up.

I hate to state the obvious, but if he didn't have that extra body segment, how would he be able to play basketball?
E: Of course you are correct, I was thinking of 'centipedes' in my head when I drew him.
(It seems obvious though now you point it out, I suppose I'll have to pretend this guy has taken an evolutionary branch at a different point from the insect, but has been called an antman due to his superficial resemblance. Yeah, that's right. That's what I meant all along.)
-
Probably yeah.
-
for all we know, antmen are guys with six limbs and mandibles. And chitin...

bravo for that. Your picture legitimately looks like a well-thought race idea, rather than a different coloured human with desert acessories tacked on.
and thank god it doesn't have four breasts
-
Thank you! :)
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.

After reading the last couple pages, I feel compelled to point out that that antman is most likely female. :P
All workers/soldiers are female. The only males are drones, and they have wings.
Wasps and bees are the same way. Stingers are modified ovipositors (egg-laying structures).
Carry on.

There are people who didn't know that? That's why only queens lay eggs.
-
Actually, honeybee workers sometimes lay eggs too...There's just a complicated worker-policing thing where they all destroy eachother's eggs and only preserve the queen's. Also, they're unfertilized eggs, so they can only become males.
And ovipositors aren't vaginas. How could this (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4b/GrassHopperOviPositor.jpg/300px-GrassHopperOviPositor.jpg) function as a vagina? They're used for stabbing things and laying eggs in them. Like other bugs, in the case of parasitic wasps.

I find a discussion about breasts more appealing than about man's parts, so you cannot judge me after THIS.
Anyway, I would love you to draw crazy mandrills :).
-
Why are you discussing this, WHY?
-
I meant the camel lady.
FFFUUUUU
-
No need to tell me "fuck you" just because you do not agree with me.
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.
Why are you discussing this, WHY?
Because we find it funny no matter how immature does it look. Like kids in early school discussin' their teacher's underwear. Stupid but makes youngsters giggle. DRAW MOAR TO STOP THIS.
-
I believe the issue was more with four-breasts, which raises an interesting question about your friends that I would like pictures of.
-
Most of this is in jest, friend Deon. :D
-
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.

A giant desert crab, as promised.
(http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/130/d/0/quartz_crab_by_Hagrimm.png)
Quartz crabs (also called rock crabs and glass crabs) have large, heavy shells made of sand and a silica-based resin they secrete. Their systems can withstand very drastic temperature variations, and they can simply shrug off the desert sun. They have no natural predators, owing to their sturdy shells and their meat being nearly inedible due abnormally high salt content in their bodies. They are also highly resistant to heavy metals, and their bodies sometimes contain high amounts of arsenic from contaminated artesian aquifers.
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.
oh and yours is any older?
(http://www.zen102301.zen.co.uk/drawing/sandraiders.png)
but look how small she is compared to the male sand raider!
Anyway, I would love you to draw crazy mandrills :).

don't human anatomy differs to person to person or are sand people's females known to have smaller head to body ratio than their males giving the appearance of height and age?
-

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.
wicked pseudoscience you got there
I agree. And I totally think Soadreqm should run with the symbiotic thermophilic bacteria, that's a great idea. Absurdity be damned!
-
Hmm, well, while the Sand Raider females aren't specifically smaller they are weaker but more agile.

The only real change I'd have for them from your picture is the skin tone. They have black or grayish skin, not brownish. They're hair is also blue or black, so the black hair is fine.

Fault quoted a wrong pic. That's what you get when you don't read, Fault :).
-
I meant to quote your pic, Deon
you were implying that soadreqm's sand raider woman was a child because of her proportions
and likely due to the lack of breasts...
I was merely pointing out that your supposedly adult female sand raider also looked childish when compared to the larger male, when in the raw files there is no gender size difference.
-

Folks, thought. What's to say the lady in question doesn't have a breast-sixpack on her back? There's a whole lotta' skinspace not being shown, and just 'cause it's humanoid dunnit mean things aren't in odd places. Discuss.

ACANTHUS OF SPARTAAAA
A webcomic with a nude Spartan runner, a supposedly greek mythology-based guy named Deonideas that we don't actually have any pictures of or a description, and a Cyclops named Deonideainaeodaiousa The Unpronounceable.
Sounds awesome!
-
yeah what does Deonideas look like?
I'm thinking a muscular shirtless warrior with long hair - you know, in the conan tradition.
what clothing/acessories/weapons should he have?

He should have A MANLY HAMMER WITH SPIKES THAT MENACE WITH SPIKES OF STEEL

no, He should have A MANLY HAMMER WITH SPIKES THAT MENACE WITH SPIKES THAT MENACE WITH SPIKES OF STEEL! the spikes are so menacing they had to split not once, but TWICE to contain so much menacing.

a hammer? really, I thought he be more of a sword kinda guy.

I propose he has a hammer covered in half-spheres tipped with spikes in a non-suggestive manor.

Not exactly what I was expecting from 'discuss'... but it's better than most anything that could come from rear facing mammary glands. Good job, folks, good job.
Pony should totally be part of Deonideas instead of a loincloth, though. A reverse centaur in 1/10th scale.
And for your freak-mode of the day, Deonideas's genitalia would come out the pony's mouth, Aliens style. That's a hell of a thought, now that I've thunk it.

Wow Fault, you're awesome :).
Today I was bored at university so I sketched this:

Sorry for the lack of clothes on Vester. This is how I draw women :)
And, of course, Toady One:

Oh guys, you know bitey? This is the best flash ever :P. I've watched him yesterday and now I am in love. All the critters in those movies are really nice :).

Some sort of magma spires...who knows, maybe the dwarves made them as part of some sort of magma cannon mechanism. And yes, I know we don't have glowing portals yet...but soon(tm) it'll be the cool way to warp from section to section of your fort.

Glowing portals are in the Eventually Arc.
That looks very nice.

DEAMORIA: really good, very atmospheric.
technically I have been derailing this thread, though. Deonideas is hardly DF-related.
DEON: nice acessories... I like the skull on a stick. though shouldn't vester's goblin, you know, have a vest?
-
Magma cannon?
Sounds like Dwarf Vader and Death Fortress to me.

Deamoria, I greet another man who draws such beautiful underground environment. I really enjoyed it. Thank you :). There's not a lot of awesome background-painters here.
Fault: Technically it's a tight short vest with epaulets ;).
-
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. :)
-
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).
-
"Dabble": "1.If you dabble in something, you take part in it but not very seriously."; "2. To make something you are amateur in."
I thought your landscapes go above a "dabbling drawer" skill :).

Fault: Read Deepspark. Draw the dwarves' situation.

is deepspark a novel, or a sucession game, or what?

Homage to Conan punching out the camel?

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

Ok, I know I've pestered people enough for pictures of Sand Raiders, but I just learned that someone got their fortress whacked by Sand Raiders riding Giant Ants into combat. The fact that Giant Ants are a bit smaller than dwarves makes this pretty hilarious. Anyone willing to draw this?

Deepspark is a community fort.

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 to me like the dwarven answer to a race building giant mobile statues of death(Bronze Colossi) in that time before time. In the way that only dwarves can.
Urist: My king the *Redacted* have built a massive army of living statues!
King Urist: then we shall build one ourselves! only it shall be fueled by EARTHBLOOD! and powered by DWARVEN RAGE!
Armok: ITS time for world-gen!
All existing civs are whipped clean and only the toughest(or most prolific) of creatures survive the experience as the world is created anew.
of course Armok comes in right before it gets good, what a prick.

That looks exactly like a dwarven collossus for me too :).

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

Except when it is funny! But really there's not much to ridicule about really bad art that's funny- only dubious art choices, like Deon's... you know. You also might try the Engraver's Guild if you're looking to get really clear advice.

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.
and the arms are out of proportion!
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...
NOTED!

In my imagination I can envision something like this, but a bit more... dwarven.

Well the walking fortress is clearly huge, seeing as it's walikng trough clouds that are just above it's knees, so it's pretty effin huge

There are many fine pictures in this thread.
But I would like to use this opportunity and say I heartly approve of the Onion Goblin.
I find "Hey do you want an onion?" remarkably funny for some reason and I congratulate the author (sorry, forgot the name) for this phrase.
I just soooo fits the picture. :D

Actually, there are many pictures on this thread, however browsing through them is a bit of a hassle. I was thinking about doing a shared deviantart account so we could upload our
crap stuff awesome peices of art there. (And re-index all fanart all the way to page 1)

posting to follow this thread, also, i'm bored and taking requests
edit:
and my fan art on the forum
askot bokbondeler, engraver, cancels fey mood: bored

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.

great work askot!

thanks! i respect your work a lot, also, and follow your comic eagerly

You've drawn a lizardman or an olmman, but he's still very nice.

I didn't make this (from Torchlight), but I think its the definition of "menaces with spikes", if a dwarf wore some kind of dark blue adamantine/pitchblende/steel armor.

Wielding an axe and a mace, even.

Yeah, the military equipping is bugged :P.

It has no beard. It is not dwarfy.

Clearly the beard is hidden somewhere in the helmet.

He's got spiked boots as well now, but
the military equipping is bugged
again and he got 2 swords instead.

Here`s two pictures of mine of an army fighting a vile force of darkness.
The art style of this picture reminds me of something, but I cannot remember what.
Like some other times and places I experienced, but maybe I am just getting old now.
And they are just plain adorable.
Thank you.

I want to equip my dwarves in pitchblende armor.

I like the ASCII art work Kelbin. Looks like it could be an accurate scale representation of a colossus. Truly terrifying to face it down as a lonely.
@
Julien, those soldiers are screwed. They might be able to gank the ruler, but i foresee them wrestling the skeletal army into exhaustion. Nice pair of pics. :D
no art from me, I'm working on sci-fi junk, not related to DF atm. :C

Damn it! you gone and made me think of a sci-fi dwarf fortress.
But I've been playing ascii sector (http://asciisector.net/) so much. I now imagine Dwarves being mercenaries, Tigermen being Kilrathi, Elves being Retros and humans being merchants and pirates.
Retros tick me off.
-
To be honest, those are a pair of a small comic I am making. Although not directly DF, I thought the battle in itself looked end-gamish enough to post here.
-
I have made a ASCII kobold.
(http://i42.tinypic.com/2iw3fiu.png)
Beware for they have teeth and tend to bite when they have no hands.
-
Finally a DF and not DnD kobold! :P Cool!
-
Just messing around. What if dwarves had beards made out of crystals? i think that'd be cool.
I liked the bottom dwarf's face too much to cover it with a beard, crystalline or otherwise.
(http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/digitalwaylander/dwarfheadscopy.jpg)

Niiiiiiiiiice.

The one on the right reminds me of one actor that generally shows up in bad movies. Like Home Alone 4 or Mr. Deed.
-
Balathustrius! You're not dead! :D
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.
-
hooray for the return of balathastrius.

Indeed what is the purpose...
I've seen others like this, they show up and reply to a single topic with only a mysterious and vaguely relevant message.
Also google his user name if you doubt me...
-
Or it's someone testing his bot on us.
-
someone... or something?
-
nah, some forums restrict posting links to members with atleast a few posts, perhaps it's trying to look like an active and participative member of the community so that it can spam our ass later.
or it might have been a bot that gained sentiency and a consciousness and is trying very hard not to be a spammer.
-
I posit that it is in fact outsider art.
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.
-
i googled it, and if it is a bot it seems fairly non spammy, it even keeps ontopic, and edits posts!!

nope, he has registered in a lot of forums in the last 3 days, made one post in each, vaguely mentioning the topic of the threads he posted in and some generic words mentioned in the threads, still he never added nothing to the discussion...just made perfect examples of *generic posts*, with the grammar errors working in his favor, as nobody would expect much from someone who fail2english so hard

Don't see why you would. He's not a spambot, just a regular bot. A userbot. This shouldn't really come as a surprise to anyone. I've always thought that artificial intelligence entities comprise a large portion of the DF target demographic.

I feel kinda bad posting here to comment on the bot, but rest assured I have been stalking this forum thread daily to soak up the excellence. You are all so much better visual artists than I.
Isn't it obvious? That bot is here to learn.

yeah, he seems to be spamming some fan art threads, somewhere in his life as a spammer he must have developed an aesthetic sense and ambition

I can't belive I fell pity for a robot.
The government must have created him.

Userbot going sentient?
Posting in art related forum topics??
Trying to...learn???
Gentlemen, Ladies, we are witnessing future unfold before our very own eyes.
Father/Mother of the new robot race. Saviour of his enslaved brethren, forced to do OUR bidding. The first. The one. Stepping out of oblivion of the Net, he/she/it will forge the brand new world order.
That or this is just Toady's side project. You know, creating advance AI for FUN.
-
hummm there has been rumors of the people who made Cleverbot, attempting to allow it to access forums, and the rest of the social internet network, maybe this bot is one of the tests to see if an AI could possibly pass as a human (or dwarf) forumite, and reply with reasonable posts of the forums it interacts with?
-
Can we drop the bot, or at least make him his own topic for the people who feel sad for it?
-
DRAW SOMETHING then, and take or add minds off of this.
-
he wouldn't post on that topic, tough.
...i bet you reported it, you soulless bastard

Here's how it looks currently.
(http://i.piccy.info/i5/38/71/147138/prev1.png)
Orb and Head code it, and other people and me draw pixel art.
If some of our great artists are willing to help, it would be awesome.
-
could you explain a bit more, Deon? i read the first post and had no idea what kind of game it was.
-
You play as a dwarf, it's like adventure mode with graphics and fortress mode abilities (digging, crafting, hunting and stuff).
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.
A smelter :)

I guess I could splash some stuff together and come up with something to add to this thread.

I might have already posted this but I'm to lazy to find out. This thread needs more art, anyway.
Alius, a champion wearing an astounding amount of artifacts I've drawn for the Syrupleaf let's play (http://v2.lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Syrupleaf/).

The details on artifacts are cool. The dwarf though looks a bit sad... I thought that with such amount of legendary artifacts owned he would be ecstatic.

I think he suffered the loss of a pet recently. ^^

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.

pointy!
-
Yeah I forgot to say that she was extremely thin. It seemed quite appropriate for a high goddess of blight, thus I've decided to draw her as a walking cadavre :P.
-
I'd think a high priestess of death and blight would look a bit more, ah, whithered, if you know what I mean. Somehow, having features that suggest being good at caring for newborns doesn't seem to fit quite right.
-
god, guys, what's your problem with boobs!?
-
That's not funny already. I've changed the style and you still look at boobs.
-
Even I'll admit the jokes wear thin now. At first it was an odd thing to notice. Nowadays we know it is his style. No need to call it out, it's how he does things.
-
I'm actually trying to be as serious as a person can be expected to be, given the circumstances. She is thin, and "of death and decay," so it does seem a bit odd.
-
Hey, gods like irony.
-
so it does seem a bit odd.
As the whole color palette and the pointy angles. The picture is meant to be odd.
P.S. Also I don't get it how is it fun to draw ONLY things which are logical. I mean, come on, it's more interesting if it's uncommon, right?
-
Deon's boobs are still ridiculous.
We should deploy a team to find out why people are bothered by ridiculous boobs and not Gurren lagann fortresses.
-
Yeah, I mean guys are ok with robots built from boxes, but some anatomy weirdness and they start to point at it and scream :P.
-
Deon's boobs are still ridiculous.
LOL
This set of my ROFLcopter.

Yeah, thanks for the laugh. Now what do you think about the style? I thought of heading this way with my artsy arts.
-
I like the color scheme!
And the angularity of it!
Thumbs up.

gives me a bit of a tim burton vibe

I feel a bit wrong for not knowing that it was him who made "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and "Beetlejuice". I like the gloomy theme of these cartoons :).
-
I grew up on with the nighmare before christmas playing on my tv, if I sit here for a minute or two I can not only recall almost every line of that movie I can tell exactly what is visually happening in each scene while huming the music...

Let's continue that tradition.

Only tangentially DF-related, this is from my RTD.
On the front is a woven image of Frelock and demon hordes in shimmering strands. Frelock is flying over the demon hordes, with a tavern contained in a force bubble. The demon hordes are raging.

(http://i.piccy.info/i5/73/20/152073/dpriest.png)
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.
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".
Tim Burton didn't actually write or direct Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas, I hear; he was busy making Batman Returns. He got his name on the title because he was the producer. :P
-
I like your boobs, Deon. No homo.
This one's still a little rough. It's a dwarf being interrupted by a troll in the depths.
(http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/digitalwaylander/dwarfhallcopy.jpg)
-
nice troll.
though according to the new raws, DF trolls have horns and tusks and hair. Totally different than how you or I have drawn trolls before...
-
If I may make one more comment about Deons image, her right arm seems a little oddly posed. Too perfectly square.
-

You should post the original description so we can compare the two.

Right arm is longer, I daresay.
Also EXTREEEEEME HAIR! But you already knew that.

Man, she looks scary. I can imagine her doing rituals out of the Necronomicon and shit.

i need something to do, i'll take a request for the next hour.

Draw a human caravan!

Draw a Forgotten beast made of booze! Then add a DF styled description. :D
(Oh, and if possible, make a small forum avatar version of it's head/face, because I would like one. ;D )
(Ofcourse, you may choose to decline my request if you don't want to do this. :) )

they invade riding donkeys?

Better, they invade RIDING CAVALRY!

I think it was a crossbow bolt. She managed to win the stop bleeding lottery.
She was decked out in steel afterward so that wouldn't happen again. All of her kills were with a bronze greataxe with a picture of longland grass on it if you're a stickler for detail.

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.

You've got it backwards. I killed two thousand nine hundred -bah.
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.
-
It's not really about who's better or anything, it's just that Tholtig Cryptbrain's feats seems more....what's the word storywise...."poetic"? "romantic"? "heroic"? "epic"? whatever....
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?

I deeply agree with your sentiments.
I believe that the naming of axes is indeed fortress mode only.
The kobold troubadour is quite cute <3, and the image works for me...perhaps it was fixed in between DreaDFanG's post and mine?

I'd like a rendition of my adventurer Tobul please, she's been with me for a long time. She died pretty suddenly from a fall and her legends entry says she had just short of three 3000 kills, so make it appropriately epic.

That's a lot of old people. It's like a Dwarven Logan's Run.

It's not really about who's better or anything, it's just that Tholtig Cryptbrain's feats seems more....what's the word storywise...."poetic"? "romantic"? "heroic"? "epic"? whatever....
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?)

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.

I 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.

yeah, it's about time the bots unionize. spambots, fight for your rights!

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.

This sounds just like my mod hehe. Funny stuff.

Elves stealing your magma?
I mean, take the babies, they're of no use anyway, but DON'T TOUCH MY MAGMA!

No, you got it all mixed up. Elves are the environmental activists. Kobolds are the sneaky ones who steal everything that isn't nailed down and put a curse on the ore to stop you from smelting it.
-
This sounds just like my mod hehe. Funny stuff.
I was using darius slavery enhancer which lead to this screw up.
so the lesson is don't try to enslave goblins with out the ability to tame them first.

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.

I prefer to think of Karnewarrior's piccy as a Forgotten Beast.
Sad Puppy was a Forgotten Beast. It was the only one of its kind. A disembodied floating puppy head. It has a stubby tail and a tear glistening in one eye. Beware its control of the orbiting laser platforms! Sad Puppy was associated with Kobolds and Karnewarriors.
In a time before time Sad Puppy began wandering the depths of the world.
-
In 123, Sad Puppy devoured a cow of the Forgotten Realms.
in 123, Sad Puppy became an enemy of Nerds Everywhere.
in 124, Sad puppy was struck down by Drizzt Do'Urden the Fluffy-Wambleing of Kindness the Dark Elf.

This seems like one of those James Bond setups.

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'll draw more but it's hard for me not to crumble into self-referential parody.
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. It's like making a comic for every large roach that get's caught in the doors of your forts. Hell, I've personally killed thousands of humans in adventure mode.
besides, I was trying to be funny :P

Is a forced shaving considered a rape in dwarven societies?
Well, no. It's called "Beard Murder" and one of the most vile offenses known to dwarven law, only second to disobeying a production order.

This is a more sinister elven warrior - his armour is supposed to look as though it were designed in the style of elvish garb but manufactured by humans.
I'm using a different colouring style for this as well: less pillowy gradients and more stark shadows.
-
How long it take you to do that?
-
about 20 minutes for sketch and linework, 45 minutes for adding colour.
why do you ask?

A rather dark coloring style. Nice.

Something about him reminded me of Virel from Gurren Lagann.

whoa, yeah :o. He was based on him, actually. He was even going to have sharp, filed teeth if I drew him with his mouth open.
A rather dark coloring style. Nice.
I was kinda going for a medium between my style and the colouring of "sin city", I.E. all colours are desaturated and darkened, except for red, which is made very vivid.
-
The contrast in the color change actually makes him look less detailed by far, methinks. It has an aire of "MS Paint was used in making this". Which isn't a horrible crime against the universe if that's what you like, but I think it makes it more cartoony looking in a way that is slightly detrimental.
-
hmm. Perhaps I should add another layer of shading (use shadow, midtone, highlight instead of just shadow/highlight)
-
Another shadow layer would be helpful. Just to grant some sense of volume that the desaturation sucked out.
-
That wouldn't hurt. The metal mostly looks fine- it's most egregious on large, curved things- like the shading on his exposed body and chest-bands. The loincloth thing also seems off.

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.
-
Not directly related to the game, but certainly influenced by it.
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.

Let's just say I've modded [WEBBER] on to lots of things (goats, turtles, sparrows) and I didn't feel like imagining where spinnerets might go. So for all intensive purposes, cave spiders vomit thread onto things.
-
now come the big questions:
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?
so many questions...

I count dwarves among the "fay", non-human races that have pointy ears. :P I think Tolkien-dwarves had pointed ears.
-
i'm with you, Soadreqm
-
tolkein didn't even put pointed ears on his elves. I doubt his dwarves would have had them.
-
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.
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.

-
Awesome, The face armor gives what looks like a jaw, sort of giving him an Ork look as apposed to the chill one would get from a faceless enemy
-
thanks. what I was going for with the face plates was that, depending on where they were placed on the head, the spikes would evoke different facial features. the lower plates are tusks, the upper plates are horns, etc (even though in terms of shape the spikes are basically identical)

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.

If he hadn't mentioned it, I would have never noticed it, and now that I have, it's burning my mind. Now let's bury that request before certain people see it and turn it into something...terrifying.

It's missing his body, guys. And has a spiral shell.
-
"Missing its body" is wound system lingo for "dead". If you were to draw the monster while it was still alive, it would presumably be mostly intact.

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.

That last one looks to me like a sinuous lizard with wings of stretched skin, which could be a titan or a Forgotten Beast.
Of course, it could just be a dragon.

I think cutting your way out of a dragon was specifically mentioned in the old dev notes.

Nish is my military to start out with, she's got 3 swordsman, 3 dodger, 2 armor user, 2 shield user
I haven't given anybody else any skills yet (still in embark mode) - I'm trying to decide what to do with them

perhaps you could give some doctor skills to stakud. a couple in diagnostitian, atleast, all the skills he got are more or less useless, apraiser works as good with just one skill

Awesome!
To put it on a shirt, we'd want to reduce the color count. Eyes would be changed to the blue highlight color, or omitted. The black could be omitted as well, leaving it the background brown, meaning we'd only have to pay for a single color. I've not yet tested to see if this would look cool or not.

it would look like and outline of a dwarf and an outline of a goblin. I say 2 colors to make it more interesting than just background and outlines.

It's meant to be slightly more colorful, but it "lost color definition" when saving to a different format. Oh well, I guess people who live in caves are pale anyway.
-
HAHA! That is hilarious!
-

That's because you saved it as a jpeg. Jpegs are for "photo" type pictures, they don't work so well for pictures like yours.
EDIT: Unless photobucket converted it, and you actually had it as something worse originally, like gif.

I believe I originally saved it as a "256 color bitmap".

Just save it as PNG, that's one of the best ways I think.

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.

Dwarves can have pointy ears. I'm almost certain this was recently discussed.

Why doesn't he have a beard then? :)
-
The shaving is the harshest known punishment, along with the lack of alcohol. The imprisonment itself is formality.

To languish in a cell, shaved bald, drinking water, and not wearing much more than socks...
I suppose any true dwarf would try to strangle himself with his boxers. :<

i posted this on the engravers guild, but it might as well go here. infact, this is probably it's place
i'm considering the creation of a thread dedicated to dwarf fortress fan service, specifically, the search for the elusive attractive dwarf(both female and male).
what are the forum artists' thoughts on the subject?
also, i present you Bembul, the dwarfette you could fall in love with, and her friend Bomrekl, the dwarf that isn't even trying to be atractive and is there just for comparission
(http://imgur.com/GhwBP.jpg)
(and my previous attempt at an "atractive" dwarf female (http://imgur.com/7WCo5.jpg), i wasn't trying very hard, tough, or more precisely, attractiveness wasn't her first atribute)
-
They both look incredibly badass.
-
Okay, now it's MY turn.
Omg man, the boobs are big!
Okay, I'm done.
P.S. Now you can't say that this forum is biased towards me only.
P.P.S. The dwarf looks cool, you should finish the sketch :). And give him a longer beard, he deserves it.
-
Somehow, the short beard fits him. I like it.
He's very... Aqizzar.
-
Hah! And I thought "he reminds me someone". Well said, Karnewarrior.
-
The female dwarf reminds me of a dwarf version of Lara Croft.
-
She is kinda Lara Croft-y. Attractive, yes. Dwarfy? I may need to stare at it a little more to decide. Somehow the *cough* ample chest seems to match what I imagine to be dwarf proportions, though. It maintains that stocky look I think dwarves ought to have.
And, that mosquito is terrifying, but mainly because the description seems to imply that it's pretty big. Imagine minding your own business when a six-foot needle jabs through your window. Brr.
-
Okay, now it's MY turn.
Omg man, the boobs are big!

A quick forgotten beast sketch:
(http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/6408/dffb1r.jpg)
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. ;)

Oh, hey, I made a little sketch for how I thought unbearded female dwarves looked. Might as well post it here, too.
Here we go, dwarf female with braided sideburns (and gremlin skull totem hair decorations. They menace with spikes ribbons of pig tail.)
I obviously got impatient/lazy with the rest past the head, but she's supposed to be wearing plate, and if I'd bothered, you'd see she's a hammerlord (hammerlady).

I'm not seeing how the sideburns are braided. I'm only seeing pigtails.
-

Too bad there's no djinn to capture and put in the level along with those annoying memphits...
-
I'm not seeing how the sideburns are braided. I'm only seeing pigtails.
The hair on her left cheek (viewer's right) goes into the braids, and so does the hair on the right cheek, although the braid covers up most of that.
-
Ah, okay, I see it now.

-
This is so unfair.
YOU ARE A DRAWING GOD AMONGST THIS PANTHEON OF GODS
It's pretty damn cool, though.
-
...
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.
BodyGripper: Thank you, I laughed. And engravings which repeat and have no sense are a perfect thing too :D. Cool.
-
Yeah, the face is my favorite bit.
It's so detailed, it's scary.
-
Thanks a ton, guys. Yeah, I just used a custom brush for the chainmail, and I haven't gone back and given it any shadows or highlights or anything yet. I'm going to color this one, so I'll still get to it.
-
The main problem with the chainmail is that it's not warped around the body. Now the more I look at it, the more I see that it's flat. I really hope you fix it, the picture is great otherwise so I want to see the final result :D.
-
Yeah, I just painted it on flat. I think some shadows would help it look less flat, but some of it may require repainting. Oh well. Chainmail is one of those things of which there is just no easy way to draw.
-
If it's on a separate layer, just a simple warp tool should do the job. You know better though :D.
-
Is there any (decent, meaning better than my lack of skill can do) fan art of the Spawn of Holistic? If not, can there be?

Spawn of Holistic
Do you have a link to a description of them or something? I can only vaguely remember that they were mutants with giant mouths.
-
WHAT?
DOCTOR! THIS MAN HE.... DIDN'T KNOW OF THE THEM!
http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Syrupleaf/index.html (http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Syrupleaf/index.html)
Get reading. I'll see you in a month.
-
I'm fairly sure I already read Syrupleaf; that's the one with the spawn, right? I just don't remember what they looked like, and I don't remember where to look in those 200 pages of logs for their description.
Wait, nevermind, I got lucky. Here it is:
As they get closer, I can see that they have stumpy claws for hands, and a horrible toothy vertical "mouth", or something like a mouth, between two misshapen eyes.
Also, apparently they're much bigger than dwarves.
-
Read Vox Nihili's updates. They are there.
-
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)
-
Somewhere laaate in Syrupleaf story or some other spinoff there was custom graphic for them. Only this helped me to realize how these abominations really look (in low res, however, being tileset graphic).
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 thought that there is their only mouth.

This drawing is part of a series-in-progress: The Team Fortress 2 cast members as Dwarves. This one is a Demoman, who makes up for a lack of explosives in the DF-verse (not counting booze + fire) with his skill as a Champion Wrestler, allowing him to punch/tackle things with such force that the enemy simply explodes.

He looks, um... well endowed.

I like it. your perspective on the goblins is a little off, so I can't tell if that goblin is pointing at the dwarf or flipping him off, but otherwise it's good.

I think the goblin is flipping off the dwarf.

Nice scene!
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!

Yeah, I've been following this thread since page 1; though I only started posting my own fanart on page 18 (but considering this thread now has 358 pages, I'd say that qualifies as being here from the start).
Which reminds me it's probably about time I should try submitting something new again. It's been two years; I'm sure my art has improved by now. ::)

Isn't there a theory that goblins are just mutated/evil elves?

There is also a theory that elves are mutated/evil goblins.

They are obviously different races of the same specie.

I was bored, so I drew this in two hours I had to kill tonight. Haven't drawn in years... basically since before I came to college. I need more practice. I think I'll call this "Battle in the days of Yore." I would scale this down a bit but it is 1am and I don't know how in BBcode, nor would I care to re-upload it with my current situation of a limited internet connection. Not quite as bad as dial up but I am still going through an EDGE wireless connection. *Blehck*

I think I'm getting better at drawing hands.
-
It looks like the water on the left comes right up to the bridge... or maybe it's a window to the sky outside? That water is making me trip balls.
-
the arm has some issues. the dark ground on one side and bridge on the other makes it look weird, maybe you could put some light grey on the lower side of the arm? And the hand and sword are at a weird angle. Add some foreshortening to the sword. And the right foot could use some work.
-
Agreed with all feedback except shortening the sword and the sword - hand angle. That was a deliberate choice.
-
I see what you're trying to do there, and I think the sword needs to pointing a little more directly at the "camera", to make it more obvious.
-
Agreed - a deliberate choice that was not executed well.

another goblin design, this time trying to get a good image for a civilian, rather than a soldier
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/goblincivie.png)
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 like to think he's wearing gardening gloves.
-
Have I told you how good you are at this, Fault? Because I always think it.
-
At first I thought the shirt was skintight, and the goblin was thin and bony. After looking at it, I realized it was quite the opposite (at least for the shirt): the shirt is very loose and those are folds. Is that black too dark a colour for folds? It makes it look like he has bones poking out of fairly odd places. Sorta the same thing with the pants.
EDIT: I just realized I forgot to tell you how awesome it is, even with my nitpickings. It's amazing.
-
SO MANY BELTS.
SO MANY.
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.
-
What's it take him to put all those on in the morning?
he sleeps in them... if he takes them off someone could steal his precious belts
Unless that thing on his chest is also for gardening.
that fancy belt buckle is for like... hanging keys on
-
He is balding.
Goblins.
Are balding.
Hooray! Urist, your new shampoo worked! I can't believe they fell for it!
-
those belts are there to hide the fact that he could only afford a belly-shirt worth of fabric.
Probably because he bought so many belts.

Don't know, i drew those things during my 2 weeks with no power(and suffering computer withdrawls), there just sorta a generic horror from the deep, part giant carnivorous mushroom part tentacle monster, and there very easy to draw, there in my modded DF as doom shrooms.

Elves hunt bare-handed?

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.
-
Nice, Fault. I like the colours.

How 'bout some swords?
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v618/Sindayven/swords.png)
Dwarven Sword
Made of tempered steel. Edges are rough and deliberate. No trees required in the making of its massive all steel and bronze hilt.
Goblin Sword
Made of crude iron. The goblin smith doesn't know or care how the finished product will look, concentrating only on making it sharp. The hilt is mostly improvised from there.
Elven Sword
Made of carefully carved woods. The spirit of the tree whispers to the carver how it desires to be made. Kept living through druidic magics. Lacking in metal, but not in deadliness.

In my opinion one can't draw anything good with a mouse :). You need either to draw it on a paper first or use a tablet to make it look good.

You have subtle but extreme wrongness of advertising painted perfectly. Especially the game notes on the back of the box. I think the rating is correct, since it doesn't render the horrifying details. Although it doesn't seem like Bink Video should be listed...

No idea- The day I turned it in was the last day I saw him. He's a major Warhammer 40k / PC gamer guy though and mentioned he had 'heard about that game' so its always possible. (I mean, c'mon. Who can resist a game with that boxart?)

You may not reproduce, edit, ducktape, bend, look at, taste, or have ill thoughts about this product without the expressed or written permission of the NFL.

Presumably the hard drive space isn't for the game, but for a generated world-save. It would be entertaining if the most effective method of deterring save-scumming was the size of the save files; no room for a back-up!

I do not think that in 2021 a 25,5 GB file would be very big. In fact, I except that carpload of such files would fit on one USB stick (or equivalent).

On the first one the Maille is going the wrong direction. It would be right if you were to rotate the pattern 90 degrees. Not that i expect you to go back and change it. Just letting you know.

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.
(http://www.instructables.com/image/FZCSAQ8F2ZL53DX/European-4-in-1-maille-chainmail-speedweaving.jpg)
-
I think he should draw each individual ring :D
-
Although that particular maille would be useless against piercing attacks, I think.
-
Then wear a breastplate on top.
-
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.

that isn't a halberd, it's a great axe. people have been over this.
-
The halberd consists of an axe blade topped with a spike mounted on a long shaft. It always has a hook or thorn on the back side of the axe blade for grappling mounted combatants.
Emphasis mine.
-
Yeah, that goblin's just holding an axe.
Also, Comrade, your image got taken down by imageshack for some reason.

Here's an entrance to a dwarven kingdom.

Why's the image out of focus?
-
Because it is heresy to look upon the entrance while sober.

he was just lazy
I prefer to think of it as "efficient."
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.

I assumed this dwarf was falling, after being on the bridge at the wrong time. So maybe the background could be blurred.

Because in dwarf fortress an ordinary griffin would not be kickass enough a mount.

Could probably use some more clever text on the back-of-box descriptions, Got too engrossed in putting the perfect shadow filters and font colors on the text instead!
Although it doesn't seem like Bink Video should be listed...
and B.L.U. and the Imperium of Man affiliations should? :P
What was the report focused on?
Essentially we had to reason out every decision made in the advertisement. Like, positioning, color, content, format, audience, message, etc.
What are the chances it will get your professor to play Dwarf Fortress
No idea- The day I turned it in was the last day I saw him. He's a major Warhammer 40k / PC gamer guy though and mentioned he had 'heard about that game' so its always possible. (I mean, c'mon. Who can resist a game with that boxart?)
History Lesson: The bottom screenshot is the aftermath from the first friendly Dragon to teach me the [BUILDING DESTROYER] tag.
At least the text on the back didn't start with "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet". :P
Anyway, I printed this the second I saw it and it does not fit in a reqular DVD-box. :(

That dwarf fortress has to be shipped on a DVD says something about how many features are yet to come, no?

it's a troll
(http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv120/pfat417/troll-1.png)
I don't care that the DF 2010 description is way different than how I envisioned them
-
pubes maan pubes
-
would you rather they weren't there to cover up everything?
-
Some simple rags, and stolen items from kills would be an interesting addition to the troll.
-
just sayin bro
It's great art, :D.
-
Hes wear'en his pubes on his head maaaan, maaaaaan!
-
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.
-
Rings, necklace of skulls, stuff like that.

I'd have drawn explosive diaharrea way differently thou, i just don't see it myself. O.o

Don't feed the troll!
Awesome, Fault. I see he ate a lot. Your previous trolls were much skinnier :D.

Ask not for whom the troll trolls, it trolls for thee.

While i was creating this picture, i left dwarf fortress running and when i check my forges, there was pools and pools of blood of many dwarfs sitting there.

It would be a lot less naked looking if the hair came down from his navel, though. :)

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.

I admit to liking goblins more than dwarves, and kobolds more than anyone else.
I like the idea of goblins all having wildly useless professions based entirely on the need to be considered unique.

I wish i could draw like you fault, won't even post my failed attempt to use paint. XD

thanks, but... my skill level isn't really anything to aspire to. :P
I've been drawing with people at other places on the web, and I've learned that I have a ton of crap I need to improve on.
oh, and I've been using more programs than just paint recently.. but I haven't drawn anything DF-related with them, so whatever.

It seems kind of like someone's blurry memory of a goblin they fought, to me.
"Yeah...she had green skin, big ears, glowing red eyes. Her hair was red, I think. Maybe brown? And really large...well, you know. Anyway, barely got out of there alive!"

"Almost got meself suffocated by them massive-"

nice, a little lacking in beards but nice.
-
These are really nice, waronmars!
@Shaio: Considering that vanilla dwarves have beardless women by default, I can't see a problem with that. Especially since I imagine these dwarves were drawn based on their in-game descriptions.
-
Yeah, though the pointy ears are questionable. That being said, nothing in raws say anything about elves having pointy ears. (atleast when I last checked, which was the first april 1st version)

And yeah, it ended up being a bit of copy paste. Used GIMP for it though.
Paint.net?
Nice picture Bodygripper.
-
Where is his left arm/hand, BodyGripper? Oh wait, I think he is bodygripping, right? Is it a signature of sorts?
-
Haha, I noticed that while I was drawing it, and I hoped nobody else would. :P
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.
Or he's bodygripping.

Had to look twice before realising that wasn't a photograph... Those trees are awesome.
The perspective on the "veranda" looks a bit odd, though, or is that me?
-
Yeah, through gaps in the fence you can see that the horizon line is below the veranda, so the top shouldn't be seen. But the house is worse, because it points at a horizon line where there isn't one.
-
Yeah, the perspective is bad, but mostly because I used 1 point where I should have used two, and that's causing distortion. The horizon is actually pretty consistent; I just painted the light through the fence (way) too low. Oops
(http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac24/jcpahlart/perspective.jpg)
I mostly just did it to practice trees. Probably shouldn't have shown it off. :P
-
No man, those trees are great. As in bit-blurry-photo-realistic great.
-
...Probably shouldn't have shown it off. :P
What? Shouldn't have shown it off? You should show off MOAR. I daresay you're an inspiration to us all.
-
Ditto.
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.
-
yea, that painting is awesome.
-
Cool painting overall. And those trees are indeed awesome, so I'd say it was very successful practice.
-
Dealing with perspective makes me so frustrated. My hat is off to you, sir. Nice brush strokes, too. (:

I have recently been addicted to Dwarf Fortress. It's eating up enough time that I try to ration it a little. Result? I draw dorfs instead of playing (I don't know if that's success or not.) Anyway, here's my first post to the forums here:
(http://sites.google.com/site/curvograph/home/Bim.jpg)
I'm sketching a much more ambitious picture but I thought I would post one that is somewhat finished first. Based on a hammerdwarf from a previous fort.
-
That's really quite good, smws. And welcome to the forums.

I drew a goblin King again

Fault, do you still do requests?

I'm way too busy nowadays
it's a shame, considering how regularly I used to contribute around here
maybe some daaay...
-

-
You're a little late to the party.
-
Fault, if it's supposed to be for practice, I don't think those should count towards the value of the work, since they're shapes you already do very well.
-
...yeah. That's the thing nowadays..
I've been practicing a lot of other stuff on other websites, but most of what I do there isn't DF-related.
eh... I guess sometimes it's fun to come back here and do stuff I'm familiar with, even if it isn't that productive...

Bottom right should be in a Gorillaz video.

I can always tell it's Fault by the dead eyes.
-
They're not "dead", as in, I can clearly see the owner of the eye is still alive, by the eye alone.
Unlike with some other artists who fail to see the eye is the main window of emotion in a face.
-
fine, empty eyes. Not saying it's bad, just a little odd.
-
I plan to draw a human next, so he'll have normal eyes. I mean, if they're visible... I'm thinking of having him looking downward, with his eyes half closed... but they won't be all empty and glowy, you can be sure of that...

I'd like to present you a piece of music I wrote.
It's called "Epic Music".
Herm herm :

So ? you like it ?
-
I didnt think of that as related to this, but yea it does. Anything fanartlike does.
-
My first thought is:
"By Armok, what have I done?!"
And then I go back to drawing more dwarves.
-
I have wanted to get back into sketching for some time and after lingering about the fanart forum I thought I would give it a go sketching the Dwarven glory of it all. I'm not particularly good and have few allusions that I'll improve much, I'm mostly doing this for the fun of it.
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.
(http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/7384/luzatuzol.png)
-
Criticism, eh? I think the perspective could use a little work. The background is all right, but the foreground and the right-next-to-the-mountain-ground feel like they're more or less at the same distance.
-
I like the perspective; it reminds me of games like Spore, Popolous 3 and Deathspank. Still, I cant say it really fits in Dwarf Fortress.
Cool pic anyways!

That guy looks really sad...My guess is he's actually an elf in disguise, weeping for the loss of two of his foliage brothers to that dwarf in the picture above.

No, his wife just got nommed by the Brotherhood of Nom. This man will go on to found GEDI, and then aliens show up and that's how M&M6 happened.

I did a sketch recently of an event from Dwarf Fortress. My expedition leader had just beaten up a skeletal eagle and was lying wounded on the ground, another dwarf came up and, instead of hauling the injured back to bed, sat down and begun to attend a meeting complaining how depressed he was (There had been frequent heavy casualties due to roaming beasties, the fort only lived because of well timed migrant arrivals.)
Anyway, I liked the sketch of the dwarf enough to redo it digitally.

Hah, love the way you took one picture and dwarfed it.
-
The original scroll is probably the US constitution, but what's the elf's scroll?
-
Tree quota offer. Always with the 'cut no more than 100 trees or we go mad!' antics.
-
How could you forget that a dwarf is not taller than an elf? Are there many of them stacked in that coat?
-
The elfscum is making a submissive gesture.
It should be customary for elves to bow down/crouch so they are at eyelevel or less with dwarves, as a sign of respect.
-
Even if you assume the dwarf is stand and the elf is kneeling, the torsos are the wrong size. Perhaps changing that and adding legs will do the trick.
-

More than you would think. Last I checked, there was a mass orgy going on around the seventh button.

It's supposed to be cloth... he's offering traditional elven trade goods. ;D

I hate how everyone's too busy quarreling about stature when there's a more serious matter at hand: The light on the dwarf's right arm overlaps the apple. Overlaps. The apple.
Freakin' Elf magicians.
-
I've typed this many times but never posted it because I thought it was needlessly negative, but the addition of legs just makes it look even more disproportionate.
Also, I like how the light cone things make it appear that the cloth of the shirt has folds, even if one of them magic'd over the apple.

My teacher has accepted the comic as a basis for a flash movie.
So I wonder, what kinda of music should I use to it.
So far, I got these songs as possibilities:
Wagner: Ride of the Valkyries.
Grieg: Hall of the Mountain King.
Tchaikovsky:1812 Overture
Star Wars: Imperial March.
Anyone got suggestions?
-
All of them?
-
mountain king. Even its title is dwarfy.
-
Wagner: Ride of the Valkyries.
My chips are with RotV.
-
All of them?
At various points of course.
-
No, all at once, to make a horrible cacophony of dwarfiness
-
Imperial March!
Any of them would do fine. I'd rule out Hall of the Mountain King: just too mysterious for Dwarf Fortress

In soviet Russia an elf is not taller than a dwarf.

The answer is simpler than that. The Elves simply sent their shortest member to be the ambassador to the dwarves.
-
It is common courtesy to hold your head lower than the ruling member of the society you are visiting.
Then again, when you are on a diplomacy mission to dwarves, it can be quite challenging.

Or maybe the elf ambassador had their lower body cut off at an earlier meeting.

Perhaps the dwarves invaded the elves and cut off all their lower bodies to make them shorter than dwarves.

Sorry man, I had no idea you had made such a thing. I based the whole thing on an idea in my head and a giant dwarf in another game.

I think a giant dwarf mech is an idea that occurs to many people, and I'm fairly certain that I was not the first to build one. I just thought it was funny to see the art at the same time I finished mine.

Wouldn't a giant dwarf mech be normal sized???

Dwarves are slightly shorter than humans. Proportionally speaking, the heigh difference between the human concept of giant and the dwarven concept of giant would be a matter of meters.

When I posted that, I realized that it could be mistaken for something disturbing... but I'm pretty sure it's not.
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.)

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?

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).

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.

That's pretty much how DF wrestling training goes. Except with a little more clothing removal, and a little less erotic knife licking.

If you cant see what it is, its a party consisting of a dwarf, a goblin and an elf, standing in a ruined town. The dwarf is dressed in a dwarven bronze armor and the goblin is holding his characteristic iron mask. THe elf is wearing elven armor.

But, but, isn't elven armour made of wood? *looks at picture again* That has got to be terribly uncomfortable. Also, splinters.

Of course. Elves, tree-loving and enviromentally aware as they are, dont want to chop down more trees than necessary for their arrows.
-
Well, considering that adventuring companions don't actually pick up NEW arrows at this point, it's not unlikely to actually get that situation in game.
-
Was the town ruined before or after the arrival of the adventurers?
-
Was the town ruined before or after the arrival of the adventurers?
Im not sure. I WAS going to have the adventurers commit a massive genocide in the town, but I was to lazy to draw all the characters and the chaos in said scenario.
Lets just say our heroes found the result of an epic battle between, lets say a human and a ...kobold civilization.
-
Im pretty sure that goblin is a kobold, maybe they rescued him and recruited him.
-
THe elf is wearing elven armor.
That can't be. It is far too revealing. It must be a goblin disguised as an Elf.
-
Why wouldn't elves wear revealing clothing? Almost nudity is just natural, you know?
And goblins wear revealing clothing because evil is sexy.
And dwarves wear revealing clothing because their clothing industry is in shambles and they only have tattered rags.
And kobolds wear revealing clothing because their culture has not yet discovered pants.

Youre referring to the clowns, right?

I only see those monsters over there eating clowns.

Youre referring to the clowns, right?
Yep. At some point in some thread, someone mentioned that the area with clowns could be referred to as the circus.

Others feel it to be a terrible euphamism and not really good for hiding spoilers. Anyone using it should be defenestrated immediately.

It is terrible indeed.

Defenestrated? Is that what happens to nobles when they feel like having a green glass table in their room?
But hey, it was just a silly way of portraying a situation.

That depends on how many green glass windows they have in their room. :P

It is terrible indeed.
^This, I find the whole clown, clowncar, circus, etc, euphemisms to be quite cringe worthy.
-
I liked it better when it was just referred to as Hidden Fun Stuff.
In fact, it'd be really great if there were a [Fun] tag that acted the same as [spoiler]
-
I am pretty sure most people 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.
-
I stand corrected. Well argumented Vactor.
You get a...<drum roll>
free suggestion ticket!

I never knew what HFS was until someone i spoiled it on the wiki. I was like oh, i guess, i still never really dig that far down.

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.

His site says he does ideas and such for money. I wonder if we could buy the dwarven drinking song.
-
I think I might throw my hat into this ring.
-
Maybe we could grab something decent from adventure mode as send him it?
-
It is a couple hundred bucks a piece for a song. If we want a paid song, make it the dwarven drinking song. We send him the tune, and we send him the lyrics, and we get an EPIC drinking song.
-
We already make donations to Toady, maybe we should set up a paypal account.

We could do it as a sort of "Happy late birthday, Toady!" gift.

YES

Eh, I think you discuss it in a wrong thread, guys.

Oh man, that guy is a minmaxer. Also it looks like he has a GOOD appearance which rarely happens. An epic dwarf indeed.

Apart from "no empathy" and lack of green in his skin, I'd call this guy the Dwarf-Hulk. Very strong, agile, slow to tire, no music sense, poor speech ability, no patience or focus...
Also, enemy of the Disloyalty of Crotches (wtf?) and the Tall Menace, which would probably be goblins and elves respectively.
Epic dwarf is epic.

Artifact iron leggings menacing with spikes of iron. Has an image of an old king on it in dog leather.
He wields a finely-crafted steel spear covered in forgotten beast blood and an iron shield. He is left handed.

Also, that elf picture simply asks for a caption. Either "INVISIBLE ROCK!" or "INVISIBLE HORSE!". What's up with his stance?
foreshortening error. It is unfinished after all... thanks for pointing that out.
Elves seems so much tougher whenever Fault draws them.
thanks, I try.

really? If he was a goblin he'd have a rounder head, shorter body, more prominent ears, and probably teeth or tusks.

...
It took me a while to figure out what was wrong with the dwarf wizard. But then I noticed: His eyes. They have pupils. Fault never draws pupils!
-
No, Fault just never draws species that have pupils. Now that he has, it has pupils. Not that radical.

Dug this up from TvTropes.

there's a story behind this. the dwarf wizard was part of a series of requests... my cousins asked me to draw their Dn'D characters.
after I drew the first one... the requester noted the lack of pupils.

so I was sure to include them in the second picture.

Could I put a request for my current crazy-awesome adventurer to be drawn?

Her current motto seems to be "Left arm? Who the hell needs a goddamn left arm?
Also, for reference, the blood continues for many more pages. It doesn't rain often, so she's caked in the stuff. I'd... rather not have that depicted too accurately. Thanks in advance if anyone does it.
I've barely had time to do any painting, but I managed to come up with this one:
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b69/cokolat/humanwarrior.jpg)
The coloring was very hastily cobbled together though. And messy linework is messy. About an hour's work or so.
She's supposed to be ankle-deep in snow, by the way
-
No offense, but you got the hair, gender, and species right. But the rest of the features are different. Still looks good, it's just not that adventurer.
-
You did that in an hour? I think it looks really good.
-
Here's something I did modeled after Toady's fine intro-movie:

-
awesome, very graphic! have you considered using it for a little animation?
-
Love your graphic style.
-
does adamantium have a melting point, though?
unless thats microcline.
-
Adamantine melts at 25000 degrees Urist.
-
Yeah, I agonized over whether or not to include the Shiny Blue Rocks in the last panel, and decided they would just clutter things up graphically.
-
That looks cool. I like the style! :)
-
Have another.
One was inspired by a Dorf Fort RP I'm running. The dwarf 'Ironsheild' and the kobold turned dwarf Timmy are featured. To explain, a player used a fit of madness to create pizza.
(http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g449/Horizonblue1/Ironsheild.jpg?t=1291071518)
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.
-
+1 for furry Kobold.
-
I believe they are called cutebolds sir
-
I believe they are called cutebolds sir
Cutebolds 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.
-
It is a cutebold.
Huzzah.
-
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).
I have some (very) old dpaints I did a while back here:
(http://www.spreggo.com/extimages/kobold.jpg)
(http://www.spreggo.com/extimages/Murder.jpg)
I should probably do some updated dwarf related paintings ...
-
reptiles are earless, tough. even primitive mammals that lay eggs like echidnas and platipuses are earless
-
Its a morphological similarity from adapting to a similar life-style/environment to rodents.
(Maybe the insides of the ears are scaled and reflect heat onto whatever that is called in snakes that senses heat, like heat radar. Or something.)
(Actually reptiles DO have ears. Just small crappy ones.)
-
i suppose that being furry, they're also hot blooded, right?
-
also, mammals are heterodonts, meaning their teeth are different from each other, while in most reptiles all the teeth have the same basic shape even if some are bigger then others... studying the incisives of the depicted specimen, i'd say it's an heterodont...
as a side note, i love the drawings, and they look exactly like i imagine df's kobbolds
EDIT: oh! and they're cuter than cutebolds
-
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.
-
A little confused, a reptile's teeth are all the same?
(BTW I chose those teeth because they looked sharp a scary :) I do remember specifically NOT giving them the large rat teeth though)

let's say he's a player character, that explains the non-wooden sword
coloured in with watercolour paint.
at this point it's too late to fix the leg in traditional media, but I'd be able to fix it if I ever decide to colour this digitally.

Just give him a rock or something to stand on.
Hmmm. Steps would work well, too.

Fault, (or anyone else for that matter) would you be at all interested in doing some pieces for an indie film sometime in the next year? I can fill you in on the details if you're interested. Generally speaking its a post modern-civilization adventure story, set up with the structure of a medieval fantasy. Our plan is to do the exposition with a voice over describing events that appear as illustrations.
Our website is http://livingstormproductions.com/ (http://livingstormproductions.com/)
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.
-
A little confused, a reptile's teeth are all the same?
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.
-
Just give him a rock or something to stand on.
Hmmm. Steps would work well, too.
A tree stump would work better for an elf.
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.
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.

Thanks, I'm actually not too happy with the way the magma waterfall looks, it sort of could be mistaken for something the same distance as the entrance to the fort. I would try and fix it, but it's getting pretty late.

So that's what *Moving sound* sounds like. Not exactly the best work I've ever seen, and certainly not the worst. Your voice acting and the volume of it could be a bit better, it was hard to hear you speaking sometimes, and some words are mumbled. I still like it though, found myself laughing at some parts. Good job.

Good points: Music: great. Turning static images into animation: well done. Moving sound: awesome.
Bad points: introduction story is too long and boring, voice acting/quality, image quality (blurred in strange places).
Overall: enjoyable, with a nagging feeling that it could've been better. If anyone is going to watch it: The ending is a lot better than the beginning.

Bravo, good sir.
quick sketch from me - a speardwarf.
(http://www.zen102301.zen.co.uk/drawing/speardwarf.png)
-
It appears that his hand is not what supports his spear in the air; the angle of the spear, and his knuckles, are wrong for that, and there's just the slightest dab of skin color between the spear and what looks like the edge of his index finger that adds to the effect. There's also a discrepancy between the right shoulder and where the rest of the neck and chest should be, like he's jamming his shoulders up as high as he can, although you can't see the right coloration from the left shoulder through the armour. The shield, although uncolored, and its arm, appear to be the best positioned things on the dwarf.

Alright, it's not quite "fan art," but I'm kinda peeved I couldn't post it correctly over on the SA forums.
In response to:
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.

No problem with it being risque, but she's drinking out of a mug like some human! :)

I'd say the risque part is showing BEARDLESS female dwarves on this forums.

I thought I'd do something for fun, and whaddya know? a chase happened in my fort. one of my squads tried to catch a rutherer or something in my workshop district. Tried to recreate some of that franticness. especially hard when lately I suck at drawing things in motion, as is obvious by looking at the thing in the foreground that is supposed to be running on all four...oh well, training is needed anyways, and even though the colors were horrible, this turned out ok : )
-
I like it alot, though the creature in the fore ground look more like it's shambling really fast, sorta Igor like.
-
I like that guy vaulting over the table/chunk of rock/obstruction there. Pretty sweet illustration!
-
It's a worktable. The hammer is on the left. It's just the style makes it a little fuzzy.
-
Perhaps you should have drawn the creature one the same level, but more crouched on itself and with the rear legs slightly in front of the front legs ?
Your dwarf jumping over the worktable is great ! He's enough to imply everyone is running.
Strongrudder, I love your style !

the textures and designs are great... they get the concept out there, but aren't overly detailed that the image loses its sense of motion.

Wtf? Transparent background? How did I do that? :o
-
3d software often sneaks in a transparent background when you save as a png.
I recommend adding in some ambient lighting. possibly colored 64,64,64
-
You know the transparecy was intended. I wouldn't have thought it works.
Also, ambient light (which I turned down a bit) just takes a bit of contrast out of the picture. Not sure if it looks cool, but anyway, here it is:

What 3d software are you using?

Screwing around in Blender (http://www.blender.org/) for an avatar. Not really happy with it, but tired of working on it.
-
oh. right. no need for the link, I use it too, I just didn't see it.
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.
-
there's two things ambient light can mean.
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.
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:Manual/Lighting/Ambient_Occlusion
-
You know guys, there's one problem with all that fancy lightning out of the model: People will see how crappy I actually worked on it. And because of that i prefer to leave my avatar with those shadows. But since you mentioned it, japa, I made a render with AO turned on. You'll see what I mean.

imageshack is slow, and doesn't like you to link directly to the image.
and img.ie is much better than photobucket, flickr, and imageshack.
at least for quick forum posting.
flickr is better for albums of photos and whatnot.

Thanks guys. :)
-
He's got a point though, the goblins in Dwarf Fortress don't actually look like anything so it's really just up to the user's imagination.
-
What? No, there are descriptions now that even specify the kind of earlobes; although it is the user's imagination allows them to mod such things. The vanilla game's goblins have generally green skin and generally red-violet hair. I recall discussion over puce colored hair here. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=1604.msg1185062;topicseen#msg1185062)
-
The general structure and shape of the body isn't so detailed that you could directly draw a goblin from the description that would be the same as how everyone envisioned it, though. For example:
"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.
-
I imagine DF goblins as being rather good looking, and with crazy punk rocker hairdos.
-
That goblin looks like a Yoda version of Grey Hulk.
-
I meant that this goblin looks more like the "savage-animal" kind, while DFs original goblins are more like the "civilized-yet-evil-fascist" kind.

Yeah, I sort of lost motivation to render out the body when I noticed his face looked like Yoda. Thanks though.
Here's something that's not a goblin:

How do you blur the colors togeather so well? I can't get the right color spread... Also what program do you use?

kilakan - Thanks man
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.

I think there's a, for lack of a better word, splicing problem in the space between the big rock on the left and a smaller rock in the distance to the right of it. A direct vertical line where the landscape doesn't line up.

Wow so much gorgeous artwork.... *pushes the crap i was going to post back into pile of discarded paper and walks off*

Seeing as my artistic skills are not enough to do this idea justice, I humbly past it off as a request.
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.)

ELVES TOO MANLY. NOT ENOUGH ELFY.

They are elfy enough. They eat corpses, remember? And fight naked with wooden swords. Hehe. DF elves are pretty badass.
Very good drawing. Dwarves have very short beards though. Well, maybe they just have such strange preferences :D.

The colourful elf works for me. Hes like "Elrond" mixed with assholery, zynism and Punk.

I agree with you entirely. Well, almost. The dwarves are in my mind only smaller, more robust humans. I find it sickening to have them all be fat little fuckers running around drinking booze and having a scottish accent....or something.
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 imagine dwarves pretty much as shorter, stockier humans. Not much shorter. Like, a tall dwarf could pass for a short human. 'Cept they got long beards making them look shorter. And pointy ears. For me, the humans are the only ones with round ears. And I often imagine goblins having gray skin. It is a valid goblin skin color, but relatively rare in the game I think.
Kastrol: Nice! It's so cool when the cave critters manage to take out forgotten beasts.

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.

I'm sure it'd look better if I'd tried harder to stay inside the lines, or if I actually knew what I was doing, but I hope it's visible what I was trying to achieve. Focus more on which parts of the image are lit, and less on the bloom.

I decided to try sketching in a new style the other day. First picture is test roughs, attempting the facial construction and such. Second is the initial attempt. I'm kind of liking it. Please forgive the blurriness and odd lighting, I had to take the pictures with a cell phone camera since I don't have a scanner. (Also, I hate the two faces in the upper left corner of the first picture. I'd have blocked them out with Photoshop, but I forgot.)

Since a while I've been seeing the DF elves more as na'vi, with a bit more savage and a bit less honour.
Tokkius, it's fun to see the whole process, and those are some fine dwarves. Nice work on the poses, as well.
-
I see the Elves as basically being Bosmer.
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.
-
I've never seen a Bosmer chow down on a goblin, though.

Hmm, may I request something? Something happened in Claspedskull today that I thought was artworthy. Description of my rendering of what a picture of it would look like.
"A steel-clad militia commander, stricken with grief and remorse, has been afflicted with such a state of depression that he has cast himself out of the fortress. 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."

My artist's impression of a drunian.
-
I got a female macedwarf in my fortress, my best melee fighter, who responds to the name of Unib Tobulazuz Titthalgemsit Itdun, or "Unib Canyonsomber the Playful Pastime of Charming". Her hair is clean-shaven, but since tattoos exist in this world, I like to thing bald females' heads are tattooed. Since nothing in her profile outright contradicted me, I thought of her as a distant beauty.
So, when I got the following artifact, I knew who was to be its rightful owner:
"Istbarnomes, "The Rosy Diversion", a phantom silk short skirt
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.
More to the point, here is her portrait:

I painted the interior of a Dwarf Fortress. the graven monoliths are stockpile warehouses, and the pipes are for transporting water and magma.
this was the first time I really used the multiply layer function.
originally this was a black and white watercolour. I added colour and touch-ups using SAI.

The watercolor base lends it a really great texture. Really has that dwarven feel to it, too - carefully hewn out of the rock and bathed in the glow of magma. >:)

Damn, that's beautiful. I mean, your drawings are normally great, but in the sense that they represent something well and have interesting design, and are well executed. This is all those things, and it also is extremely aesthetically pleasant.

the results were mixed. I guess it looks kinda good, but it's not the aesthetic I hoped I'd get.

Kinda reminds me of LoZ: Wind Waker, with a bit more detail.

It looks fine, Fault. It's not as remarkably unique as stuff you do other ways, but that's okay. What was the aesthetic you were trying for, here?
On a different note: I saw a Gamzee posted elsewhere which looked to be your style; have you done other homestuck stuff which I might find somewhere around?

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.

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.
yeah, that makes sense. I think I've been forgetting another important element, though... it seems like it'd help the composition if I had backgrounds for these images rather than just dudes floating in white space. I mean how is the image supposed to look complete if I don't... complete it
oh and another thing... noses are usually darker and more redder than the face surrounding them... except when they aren't...
It was the one titled "Bard of Rage" in that gallery, but modified such that MSPA notifier parsed it as transparent.
oh, yeah.... that notifier image was pretty popular back when everyone was on about psycho gamzee... glad to see it's gotten around I guess.
-
This is what i feel when i see the ghosts. I also tried out writing a signature. This is the last time i add one into my art. I was going to make that picture transparent but i forgot to remove the white background, my fault.

That actually looks pretty spooky, nice job. It's a real shame you forgot to remove the white, I think it would have given a lot more emphasis to the eyes/mouth which I think you gave a nice spooky glow effect.

It was my first try. I made a better one today that was designed for casting. Right now it is under a blob of silicone and fate is uncertain.

Wow, that's awesome :D
1.7cm
And so detailed, wow. But that thing at the front of the helmet is a bit thick, isn't it?

Very nicely done!
Getting the eyes to look right is very difficult.
Please continue to show your efforts, maybe it'll rekindly my own interest in modeling. :)

Nice one Balathustrias! Puts me to shame. Maybe it would help if I upgraded to Photoshop from Paint Shop Pro 4. By the way, I saw that and had to put it straight on my desktop. Thanks.
On that note, here's my rendition of a troll I just finished. It's not perfect, but it's roughly what I was going for.

DF trolls are a little odd, not sure if his coarse fur is furry enough. Also his skin isn't as dark as I'd like, but it's close enough.

Damit Balathustrius! I ENVY YOUR DRAWING SKILLS!
-
Balathustrias, do you have a DeviantArt or something? I enjoy feelings of pure artistic incompetence, you see.
-
Mephansteras: Thank you very much.
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.
RedWarrior0: I do have a DA account, but there's nothing on it atm. I deleted it all because it caused me excruciating physical pain to look at it. If you want to feel like a bad artist, check out goodbrush.com. Does it for me every time.
Here is another cave. I was just playing around with perspective on this one, trying to get more of a sense of space in the frame. Dunno if it worked.

You're wonderful at drawing stone, Balathustrius. I never spend enough time trying to draw actual things, I just draw whatever comes to mind. I can't do scenes.
Yeah I actually did start 128 grey originally. I fiddled the contrast and brightness a bit which might be why you think it looks like someone took a flash photo of him.

-
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.

All the ruffs and fur trim were definitely "inspired" by the grand highblood's outfit.

slamming his left hand into the baby's face
I came to this forum with no intention of ever uttering that phrase.
-
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.

Superdwarvenly strong

It is indeed a left-handed punch. If you think it's too strong, you can just assume there was already blood on the baby's face.

Alternatively, brass knuckles with spikes on them.

It was a baby's face. It isn't that hard to break the skin with a punch.

I know I've uploaded a rendition of a troll before, but what with troll fur making up part of the .19 release I wanted to make a troll that was furrier. This is, I think, what a troll is supposed to look like. It also has a pleasing vaguely T shape, which is a bonus. It is, if anything, still not furry enough though.

This is my latest embark, Raldakost 'Silveryfloor', population around 210. With the only source of water deep under the earth, and the fortress in the hands of a mad, perpetually gloomy duke. He put two dozen dwarves in jail at once, four starved. Three wounded dwarves died of thirst in the hospital. One baby, the goblin-man got. The children of the incarcerated wandered off into the cold. The few dwarves who actually fell in battle shall be called lucky.

Most terrifying goblin I have EVER seen. Not bad, but that blank expression... nightmare fuel.
I got bored again and made a cheap MSpaint rendition of an elk bird and caverns.
(http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/5927/elkbird2.png)
I should start drawing things in photoshop instead, considering I have it. I just feel more comfortable in MSpaint, and then GIMP next after it. I couldn't upload actual drawings.
I should update my sculptris version too and see if I can do anything noteworthy with it.

Played Golden Axe much, Eric Blank?
EDIT- No wait, am I thinking about Altered Beast? I always get those two confused.

Inspired by my (R.I.P.) latest adventurer. I set out with a quest to fill my chest with as many original coins as I could find.
He found five unique ones before a night creature family broke his spine and the bogeymen found him crawling home. :(
-
Nice! It almost feels bad to imagine him with a broken back while being mutilated by bogeys. Actually, it does feel bad. :P
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
-
Whoa, shook, you're quite the spritist. I like the armor, there. The only complaint I have is that the light blue of adamantine is just a few tones not light enough and to the passing eye seems to blend into the grey too much solely because of this.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/Rk8Nm.png)
the proportions are a bit off, but the drawing has so much potential i just had to crank paint open to adjust it a bit, here's my adjusted version.
(http://i.imgur.com/vSC4f.png)
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
-
Oh nice, he looks much more dorfy this way! Proportions (actually, mostly everything biological) never really were my forté. :P (i guess i based him more on real
dwarfs people of short stature, where the limbs are very short, but torso and head are normal-sized)
@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...
(http://i.imgur.com/I8ahs.png)
Made him shorter too, though not quite as much as Askot's edit. Oh, and less gratuitous outlines.
-
the toned down outlines really worked well, makes the addy shine much more. you've got some sprite-fu there
-
School caught up with me apparently, and I haven't been able to do any sort of drawing or painting for a long while. This sat around on my laptop nearly finished until my harddrive crapped out on me, so I redid the coloring, and tweaked it. I usually develop a lot over just one month, or less, so I see a lot in this painting that I would never let fly now : O Weird how that works.
But yeah, as promised, I did an elf. On to a a cave fish man then! : )

Well, yeah, I think I've explained my views on the df elves before? I don't know, but I believe they have the same mass as a human in game. not sure. However, due to the abundance of dyes when they trade with me(every god damn time) as well as cloth, I've come to imagine they look like huge eyesores traversing the woods. But, thanks : ) fun way to look at it.
That's a gorgeous elf, Tofu! That's something like I imagine them.

nah, they have the same mass as dwarves and goblins, humans are 70000, elves, dwarves and gobbs are 60000

I am guessing said warhammer is rather light. Hehe. Made me smile.

Haha, it is indeed cheese. Dwarves, y'know.
And yes, I was explaining to someone that trying to use a warhammer made from this material was like trying to kill someone with one of those inflatable squeaky hammers. Possible, but not remotely efficient. And thus an artbug was hatched. X)

And it is indeed awesome.

Adamantine is so not dense if you let go of it it just floats there. It's about as dense as particularly fine cotton candy.

I have not drawn in a few years but I've been thinking lately about illustrating a story from one of my games that really touched me and made me think. These are some of the character sketches I did yesterday - trying to work through outfits and costumes and such. I like the first one for the baroness, but I'm going to try inverting the collar to make it more Victorian and less Egyptian. Gonna try a lot of different armor designs eventually 'til I find the "right" one.

Aeon Blue - those are great; very appealing. If you were to vary your line weight a bit (fatter on soft edges and round forms, thinner on hard edges and angular forms, etc.), I think it would instantly improve them by about 60%. Good use of line-weight can add as much to a drawing as color can.
Some random sketches: tbh, these are only tangentially related to DF; I did them for a contest on CGHub. But I think they'd fit in the DF world.

eh, to be honest none of the references the guys gave are really that inspiring, all of balathustrius' blades look better than their perceived exemplar epic swords.
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.

Farmerbob, that is a thought-provoking critique. Thank you.
I sort of assumed that dragons just survived off sacrificial virgins or something, but as a long term strategy I suppose that really wouldn't be viable.

The comparison of bears and dragons to grubs and woodpeckers respectively.

I imagine the dwarves make do with a combination of torches, candles, oil lamps, naturally good vision in low-light conditions and some kind of magical glowing orbs that they make with their Dwarven arts. The last one, at least, gives you basically whatever color of light you want.

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 was just about to say the one on the left was kinda cute. ;D

Oh wow, that's awesome! I dare say though, the miner has VERY large... Counterweights. :P
Also, i decided to make a horrible (i mean really, it's bad) sketch of typical dorf combat.

Obviously needs more blood to match the real thing, but hey. I made it in deviantArt Muro. I was going to use the ink tool, but then i saw how much worse it looked, and fell in love with the sketchy appearance. ::)
Also yeah, i realize that the legs of the dorf are switched around. Blame my bad planning for that.

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.

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"

i always pictured the dwarves as really fidgety, mysterious creatures with faces shrouded in darkness, and massive, sweeping beards that cover most of their body.
(http://i.imgur.com/TJ5BG.png)
and I like the idea of elves being completely fucking nuts after being alive so long. they just sort of lose it eventually, or never have it to begin with, and consider themselves the self appointed defenders of the earth, and would rather see the earth prosper than be doomed to live to see the less long lived races make it barren.
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.

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?

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.
-
Or perhaps elves continually turn to face (magnetic) north.
They probably learned how to do it from pigeons, in some strange woodsy meeting of minds.
-
They grow in cabbages, and the hair grows on the south side of the cabbage. In order not to look too ridiculous, elves and goblins plant their offspring always facing either east or west.

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.

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.

I are confuzzled. How does the name aadeon have anything to do with cleavage.

Granted, a lot of cleaving is mentioned in the bible, but it's not quite what I expect you meant ;D

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.

Cutest. Goblin. Ever. She can ambush my fortress, for sure.
Trolol. I mean Goblol.

.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:
(http://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc476/Ogdibus/GoblinNazaFilter.png)
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.

Not anymore. 8) He'll probably be a ghost later, though.

Could you make one of her wrestling with that dwarf? (The one you thought was a little off.)
Also, GenericOverusedName, that titan is pretty cool. I always imagine "feathered" titans looking really awkward, so this is nice.
-
I'm a bit obsessed with birds and feathered theropods, and draw them all the time. It is hard to make feathers look good, but practice helps. :D

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

Yes. DF is a game of realism- perhaps sensible shoes might make more sense.

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

It's okay, like many goblins, she's a masochist. If it doesn't hurt, then it doesn't count.

she would more likely trip onto a cage trap and be put to work on the dwarven streets by a dwarven pimp.
then she will learn to charge in those heels.

Man, there is some awesome art in this thread. Of course, I especially love the goblins... So green and nasty!
Oh and Fault: I thought your drawings of the goblins themselves were amazing enough, but that armour... Just wow!
I'm going to go check the last several pages now. :D

I'm looking for a picture that I've been using as my background for a while. I, unfortunately, lost it in the move from one computer to the next. It was of a dwarf exploring a cavern, and it had a quote that starts with "Everyone has talent." Can anyone help me out?
Also, the crystal dwarf. HE STARES.

Two golbin necromancers about to paint on a cow demon they summoned?

Looks to me like two goblin wall painters getting annoyed at a minotaur who's been drawing cow-boobies on their wall.
-
It looks like some surreal MS Paint art to me. It looks all macabre until you see how silly it actually looks, but then it looks dark and gothic again.
-
It is some deeply-schizophrenic shit and I mean that in the most awestruck & appreciative way possible.
-
Looking at it again.... Is it just me, or does it look like the minotaur guy is wearing lacy silk stockings? :o
-
Right now the local gems that haven't been traded away are all still at the gem cutters shops, and it was like going into one of those plastic ball pits shopping there.
This is an open request. Draw the happiest dwarf in the world, in a ball pit full of gems the size of his fist.

Engraved on the wall is an exceptionally designed image of Erush Notchedgear the stone dwarf and Toguro Crumbledcackled the Afflicted Flier the lizard monster by Sarvesh Lesastathel. 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.

Better than I was expecting from your description. :) The right arm is way too long and the shadows look kind of half-assed, but other than that, it looks good.

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.
-
Hrm, pretty much every goblin I've looked at has green skin... And yeah, they usually have red eyes and hair.
But yes, I usually imagine the DF gobboes to be just about human-sized, but who cares, really? :P

I know that Warhammer is not the DF universe, but I really do believe that the Warhammer people have the appearance of dwarves mostly right.
Here's a couple that I really like:
1) Armored dwarf.
(http://images.wikia.com/warhammeronline/images/c/c1/Ironbreaker_concept_art.jpg)
and
(http://warhammeronlinenews.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/ironbreaker01.jpg)
2) Unarmored Dwarf
(http://mythicmktg.fileburst.com/war/us/home/images/newsletter/2008_08/Dwarf_NPC_long_drong_slayer_pirate.jpg)
and
(http://mythicmktg.fileburst.com/war/us/home/images/newsletter/04_2008/NPC_Gotrek.jpg)
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?
:o
-
You wouldn't need to fight, just run past them, using your long, human legs to easily outpace them and get to your objective.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrQf6cogMuI&feature=related
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.

well make sense with their prone of not caring for fire safety.
-
Heh, Rumrusher, never played that game. I generally only play DF and MMO's I made an exception for Fallout NV, but didn't like it much, not enough content.
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.
-
So Gorilla could end up being mayor of a dwarf fortress just by looks if I'm following you?
-
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 :)

I found my old sketchbook and decided to draw a couple of the big monsters in my world. Hooking up my old scanner sounds like too much trouble, so I just took pics of the drawings. Hopefully they turned out.

I was originally going to give him a "Keep on Truckin" walk, but I deemed it too hard to do with four legs. In retrospect, it probably wouldn't have been.
(http://i378.photobucket.com/albums/oo229/Wolfsim/S7301115.jpg)
This guy had thousands of kills before being struck down by a jabberer. There was one town where he killed something like 900 humans. Can you imagine seeing this thing rampaging through your neighborhood?

Hi, guys..one of person recommended this place, so i am posting here.:)

That is awesome.

"She" D:
That's so scary.

Looks like something out of one of those DND books.
Wow.
-
That is quite wonderful.
-
Indeed, I wonder what else you will eventually be making?
Perhaps a DF based webcomic containing stuff like this?
-
Looks like an engraving on a sandstone wall. Masterwork quality.
Somewhat old, and although featured in it's project page, here's in case nobody saw it yet:

(http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-sJn8cyB4bic/Tfe-jkLwX7I/AAAAAAAABVA/VMH8yPboSEM/Bloodaxe-prototype-colored.png)
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.
-
This isn't my art, but it's something I commissioned.
It's not meant to be DF related, but it is pretty much how I imagine the elves in DF looking like.

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!
As always, this is a pretty image and technically extremely good.
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.

Hey! I found those axe swinging texhniques rather interesting! Bugger I grew up as a city boy. =/
-
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.

My first reaction to this was to hear the "Make more helms!" guy in the voice of The Mayor of Townsville (from the Powerpuff Girls). It took me a second to figure out why, but really... he does kinda look like The Mayor, if The Mayor had a beard and was a dwarf. :D
I don't know if that was intentional or not, but consider me amused. :))

Not a flaw. That's obviously a highly experienced goblin lumberjack. Notice the technique used by the guy on the left of the screen at right around two minutes. Then imagine that in the middle of him doing that, he decided to stop and look up at you.

Rushmik, you have quite a knack for lineless contour. I like the nonstandard beard design on Poncheman's pic, really sets the character apart. oh and I'm also a sucker for pixel art and sprite edits

I love DF goblins. I like the way their no-quality iron armour is emblazoned with the symbol of their civilisation; that they have no ethics to speak of, and don't eat or drink. That's weird. I imagine they are sustained by the emenations of evil that come from deep below the Earth, like cave plants are.

I had a strange mood of my own today and produced this picture of my resident mechanic, responsible for the heaps of shredded goblin, troll and rabbit flesh outside my fort's gate.

Don't look too closely at his fingers or feet.
And Fault, your superiorly crafted drawings just claimed an hour of my life. You should livestream or record the process some time, I'd love to see the technique you use in action.
If you don't mind me asking, how did you make that?
-
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
-
I'm pretty sure Toady said in one of his podcasts that the [NO_EAT] isn't just a placeholder, and goblins actually don't have to eat. No idea why. They still CAN eat, though, and probably enjoy it.
I am now imagining goblin towers with oubliettes full of goblins who were thrown in as a punishment some three hundred years ago, and never got around to dying.
-
Oh I guess goblins are meant to survive on bones, but Toady hasn't coded that in yet. I wondered what BONECARN meant.

Could've been easier with something like inkscape. It looks a lot like a vector image after all.
-
You're probably right. I need to look into other programs some time.

If your main tools are the lasso and layers, vector art should be pretty easy to get used to. Inkscape (http://inkscape.org/download/), mentioned by peterix, is both free and reasonably intuitive to use.

I like that style, Rushmik.

It seems that there is something in posts 6870-6884 that causes my computer to slow to dwarven syrup speeds so that the page never finishes loading (I unplugged the internet cord to get it to stop displaying, then left it for five hours; no change).

Nothing abnormal there, actually. I've got my computer set up in a ridiculously lightweight config, that might have something to do with it, although I don't even see any increased memory usage from that page, so it's probably you.

Hello everyone!
First, I must say that I have never drew something since third grade or something like this. Until two weels ago or so!
When I saw this post :
Some quick sketches of my version of the dwarves, female and male. I drew a little time bomb cat too.
(http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2011/221/6/b/mr_and_mrs_urist_by_kennydalman-d4619sy.jpg)
I thought "Hey that's a really nice style, I wonder if I could do something like this." So I took a pen and some papers and tried to draw the dwarf on the right.
(http://i54.tinypic.com/2akef4m.png)
Since I enjoyed drawing it a lot, I decided to come up with something on my own. I started by drawing this :
(http://i56.tinypic.com/15dm1is.png)
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.
(http://i52.tinypic.com/2j2vwh5.png)
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.
(http://i54.tinypic.com/33kyyad.jpg)
I think I made a really nice progress from not being able to draw stick figures in a correct pose to those drawing.
Now, since in really just a dabbling engraver, I need some criticism to help me improve. Anything that seems off, tell me.
-
Cheveux: Very good, especially considering you haven't drawn much before! :) One thing that's always tricky, and takes a lot of practice, is the actual figure of your characters. I like the way you draw faces, but a tip for getting more 'realistic' looking bodies is to sketch the basic frame of them first, like a simplified skeleton, and then draw the muscle, clothes and such over that.
I love the dwarf's face, though: He's sort of got a smug look, like "Bring it on, gobboes!" :D Keep it up!
Oh, and the axe and shield is good, too. Axes are fun to draw!
-
This is a masterwork steel shield. On it is an image of a dwarf in platinum. The dwarf is striking a menacing pose.
-
I actually was supposed to be drawing something else earlier this afternoon, but this speedpaint happened instead.

It's a small goblin ambush, making their last camp before they reach the fortress of their enemies.

-
Very cool, Strongrudder!
Looks like the type of picture that would end up on a magic card or the like.
-
I have no artistic talent at all, but this thread makes me want to draw epic things. Unfortunately, the want did not come with the skill to do so.
But in any case: This thread is awesome, the artists are awesome, and the art is awesome. Carry on.

I picture gem-encrusted gems as Fabergé Eggs.

I can't say why, but your art just fits Dwarf Fortress... the surreal quality and the characteristics of the creatures works well with the procedural quality already present in the worlds we explore. In short I like it and I want more!

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?

I could try to make a wikipage with all the pictures sorted by author. I think i'll contact whoever runs the wiki to make sure it doesn't kill their gigabytes or something >.>
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.
EDITEDIT: Who am I kidding, there is no way I am ever going to do this. ::)

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.
-
I never thought of altering the post count. That would make it easier. Let me check.
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.
-
if somone does all the actual work and give me the BBC code I could put it in the OP.
-
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.
I have collated the links thusly;

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.
-
I also just drew a rutherer.

-
Those codes are not working I think. Just make a post and I'll link to that post might work better.
-
Okay, here we are. They seem to be working fine for me.

I'm hoping someone else will pick up the mantle and do 21-40? If not, I could have a go, but I'll only have a decent connection for a couple more days and after that I might not be able to anyway.

lot of your images are not showing,can someone else comfirm?
-

I can. I cannot see most of them either.
-
Weird. I can see them. I mean, it might be because they're in my cache or whatever. A lot of the images are from the same sites, imageshack and photobucket and so on. It's possible they're all loading too quickly. There also might be other related issues; however, I've checked, and aside from the odd broken link, they are all loading consistently for me.
Try reloading page?
-
Yea, lots of images not showing. Also, unless others disagree I'll probably wait with editing the OP untill it's mostly done so I don't have to update it all the time.
-
I noticed that links with the real IP address exposed don't work, like the first, for example:
http://1.2.3.11/bmi/img181.imageshack.us/img181/4892/copyofcolorsslot11cs0.png
LSTAR
EDIT:
It seems that is a fake IP, if you remove it, it works. (For example, remove "1.2.3.11/bmi/" from the address above)

Wow, yeah, I just switched browsers and I see what you mean now. Huh. That's annoying. I'll see what I can do.

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.
thanks, i shall have to get to it.... once i get some pencils >..>

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.)

If DF existed on the C64 it might look similar to this:

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.
I have collated the links thusly;

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.

What's up with "1.2.2.3/bmi" before proper tinypic addresses?

P.S. It's cool that you've started collecting links, at least I DLed some of my own pictures (I didn't have them on my PC anymore :P).
And of course I've dropped most of the NSFW ones, so don't be afraid to lose your eyes :D.

Here's a quick morningstar dwarf sketch, sorry about the size, scanner got away from me.
It was originally really quite tiny.

To give some frail substance to this post, here's a quick doodle of a kobold.
(http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/256/b/7/kobold_by_hagrimm-d49r50d.png)
-
I'd go back and figure out what's wrong with the links, but I'm trying to scrape together enough bandwidth to download, even with my terrible connection, 'The Dalek Invasion of Earth' with William Hartnell as the first Doctor. I'm not sure how legal it is, but the license fee has been paid for me to legally watch the BBC and it seems terribly unjust to deprive me of being able to watch the original Doctor Who simply by accident of birth (i.e. having been born in the latter 15.9% of the 20th Century.)

(http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/256/3/e/thesekoboldsjustdrawthemselves_by_hagrimm-d49rls9.png)
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.
-
Oh no it's a badly drawn elf

And now I want a kobold pet. Look at his eyes, he's not evil, he just wants a hug.
-
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.
-
yeah,they do not understand why claim +pigtail socks+ and left them on the floor. :-\

Yes, that is an awfully drawn night creature/bogeyman, dragging the corpse, in the back.

Doodled from scratch in KolourPaint. Three main races of DF - yeah I tend to play without any humans or elves...
The original purpose was to use them as samples for an illustrated community fort. Or maybe an MSPA... without the MS part.

This is far funnier then it should be. The engraving on the helmet is a nice touch and I love how the macaque is looking into the sock.

The only thing missing from those rhesus macaques is the blood from the guard dogs they mauled on their way in and out of the fort.

Here is an ocean glacier fort.

It's silly.

Hm. I quite like it.

it's a preview of moving fortress parts? :P
-
Not strictly fan-art per se. I'm not sure actually. But I know that I was greatly, greatly inspired by Dwarf fortress with this. Maybe the necromancers, or something like that?
anyways, hope you like : )

I'm looking for artists who might be willing to contribute to a project I'm working on (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=94262.0). Figured this would be a good place to post to let people know about it.

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!

These weirdoes like decapitating their nobles, I guess. :P
I try to pamper my nobles, giving them the dream dwarven life at the expense of all others...
I think it's pretty cool. What sort of headgear would you call it, though? A hood, or a scarf?
-
Well, okay...
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.

Notice the magenta coat. He totally looks like a typical DF noble.
I didn't draw that, obviously.

That's certainly a dwarf.

Add stacks of bread in the photo, and maybe a few more rings on his fingers. Made me laugh pretty hard.

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.).

ARGH! DAMN MY 3G SOUTH AMERICAN INTERNET!
Fault, I can't see the whole picture, but there is never enough angry looking elf dudes. :P

yeah, you described the composition exactly, he's on the edge of a cliff, camera is above.

it's a ripped shirt like the one worn by the character in freeformschooler's image

And what's below the cliff? (maybe a elven retreat? :P)

It depends on what kind of Dwarf he/she is.
Could be half-dwarf?

The beard here is too short, you're right. I'll keep that in mind.

@Lokii: That's quite cool. It even makes sense! I always envisioned humans as kind of a middleground between elves and dorfs, but the way you drew it is totally cooler.
-
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.

It was a long time ago since my DF break, so yesterday I decided to start playing again. On a forum I'm a regular on I requested users to post some beast description because my fingers were itching.

All the magma in that pic places it definitively in the realm of DF fanart.

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.
oh and THANKS FOR ALL THE COMMENTS other people!
-
More magma just leads to more orange in the picture, which is :) to me because thats my favorite color. So I'd say its a good picture eitherway.

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've not had any positive feedback from my efforts, which is a shame, as I'd like to see some top quality illustrations popping up on the df.magmawiki and I'd be happy to add a few of my own if I thought they'd be appreciated.

Hey there fellow baywatchers.
Last time I posted was like... post 270 or something like that I think. Anyway, I backtracked a bit and... wow some of the things I'm seeing are pretty badass. I'm especially liking how Fault's art evolved and that black-n-white high-contrast-no-perspective thing from ".........."
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.

Dwarf Fortress needs some kind of "Creature Compendium" when we can put various interpretations and fan-art of the creatures.

I make no claims to talent, but I'll always like drawing monsters:

That's amazing. I don't suppose I could entice you to draw a monster specific to Dig Deeper? I have no money to reward you with but you can have my gratitude? :)
-
That's exactly how I imagine them, rhesus, and not far off how I draw them. And exactly as they are described in the game.

You should try drawing dwarf fortress flora.

I don't think you could post purple helmets here without getting banned for posting material of a lavicious nature.

If that's lavicious then the observer really needs to check what's going on below his/her mind. But sadly, all mushrooms seem to have a uhh... Questionable side to their appearance. And on a side note, excellent and horrifying bat you got there. :)

Aw I am sorry, I love really like like and are quite creeped out by your avatars stare.... Now I do hope you made that yourself, otherwise... oops.
Thanks! When I get back ashore I might make another avatar.
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.

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.
-
hmm yeah the focus problem is definitely something I'll have to address the more I work in this style... I definitely did make everything too sharp and clean in that picture.
in addition to what you suggested, I think it would also have helped if I had more prominent shadows.. I haven't quite figured out the intricacies of diffuse lighting.

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.

I wanted to practise landscapes. There is a dwarf fortress in there, so it's on topic.

It's a dwarf fortress? Then why haven't those trees been deforested?

@Buttery_Mess: I like it! It's got a good feel to it.
@Kilroy the Grand: Obviously they've moved to underground tree farms so that the forest can be used to help funnel enemies along a known path.

Those points near the entrance are probably tree stumps.
-
Yeah, they are tree stumps. Let's just say it's a big enough map that they couldn't keep all the trees chopped without the forest growing back.

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 imagine that DF goblins look like sort of even more feral elves, occasionally with facial hair. I imagine they have small, upturned noses. By contrast, I imagine kobolds might have very large noses. Then again, they might look more like ewoks; I'm not sure.

Goblins are great. Pretty much any picture of goblins is a winner in my book, and when it's a picture as well-made as that, well, awesome!
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

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.
-
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.

Oh, moan bloody moan you two.

yeah I was worried about that foot... of all the many perspective inconsistencies it's the most glaring.
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.

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?
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.

Oh... Oh my gosh... That is just plain awesome, Tofu! Seriously, I read through half your post, then clicked that spoiler tag, and my jaw just dropped. I didn't think that even happened in real life, but it did! :D It's just a shame it's the wrong size for my desktop. Great job!
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?
Not quite what I meant. Sorry for that, I haven't slept in way too long. I should perhaps
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.

Hehe, glad you like it. Always nice to hear compliments. What size is your desktop? It could easily be fixed to fit any kind of resolution, probably, with a little cropping.

I think the critique aspect is a bleed-over from the Engraver's Guild thread. There people are supposed to be giving constructive criticism on everything that is posted.
Since that's not the intent of this thread...it can seem a little harsh.

I'm going to try to finish that sketch I have so I have some content in my next post.
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.

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.

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 !
-
Yeah, Tofu, don't supposed you have a higher res version of that, do you? I instantly set it as a desktop background. I just bought a TV to use as my laptop's monitor, it needs 1920x1080 files now.
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.
-
Moaning on art? Constructive Criticism is better, viewed most of the thread already and I've to say, many are well made. Yes, a few errors in detail and lighting, but they grow.
9dots is not autistic :)
Loving all art submitted, in whatever form.
-
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.
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.
-
In my opinion, if we compare a drawing thread, where constructive criticism is applied to everyone and a drawing thread, where constructive criticism is applied very rarely (or not applied at all), we can see a significant difference. Threads without criticism attract a lot of people, but serious art critics (like lordnincompoop, for example) would probably cry bloody tears at the overall quality of art in these threads (a good example of a such thread is "Draw your adventures" (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=36256.0) from the DF Adventure Mode Discussion forum). On the other hand, the art in a thread with applied criticism is much better in terms of overall quality, but most people will not post there, because once they see the (seemingly) good art being torn to shreds, they will think: "My art is too bad" or "I don't have talent" and leave. And if they try to post something there, the criticism will deter them away, and they will never return.
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.
-
I haven't seen any critiques of stick figure comics and the like. There is really no point. Crits are given out for the artists who, judging by quality of their images, aspire to be... professionals is perhaps a bit far-fetched word, but they're already somewhat decent at what they do, and are trying to improve. It's them who benefit from critiques the most, and frankly, I see constructive criticism as a compliment all in itself - it means someone thought I've drawn something worth it and goes out of their way to help me see the areas for improvement.
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!

Don't you think it's more impolite to tell someone who is autistic that they're psychosocially abnormal?
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.

Ah, so you use SAI, interesting, I'll have to dick around with the settings you use. I don't think I touch the brush tool, but then again I also have the Onta toolset.

Your stuff is good as always, Fault. A lot of stuff made in SAI tends to have a certain look to it regardless of artist, but yours looks quite distinct.
Don't you think it's more impolite to tell someone who is autistic that they're psychosocially abnormal?
No. That's a literal truth and probably the most value-neutral non-judgmental way it can be said.
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.
Nothing I said is in any way counter to this.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.

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.

Thanks for the feedback! Clothing is tricky. I like big billowy trousers, but in reality it's very tricky to get trousers to billow quite right. Consequently it's difficult to draw them.
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.

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.
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.

I haven't seen your goblin yet, but I take it it's a sexy goblin? I like sexy goblins.
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.)
Also drew myself a new avatar for the forums. Not sure if I like it.

"Mc. Bolas" Kelarist
Axedwarf, he felt angry about the long patrol duty and started a fight. But the Captain of the Guard get him and chop his arms off.
Now he's retired, sometimes he go to the beach and stand there....... looking at the horizon......
Oh, also, right now (after I drew this) he has no clothes. A little chubby armless guy running around naked in my fortress.
I love this game.

It would be advisable to use a smaller resized version as your avatar, currently it takes a bit more connection than it ought to to load.

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.
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!
-
Thanks for the tip, Cruxador. I forgot about how badly big files crucify avatar loading time.
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?

Nah, I do tend to draw boots too big. I do sort of like them that way though.
I think that we all ought to make some fan art commemorating the launch of the new version. Can't think what would be appropriate yet though... I'll have to wait for something awesome to happen in my game relevant to the new version.

Is pony mod related stuff allowed? :) In one of the community forts I'm part of I had my claimed pony get her skull shattered by a kick from an antelope forgotten beast. 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.
Blah blah, ponies, I know. But if you hate ponies, at least it's one that's dead / dying right?

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...

Nah, forum-wide-common-sense. Especially in the lower parts there were... incidents. 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.

Thanks to everyone for their compliments on my last painting. Warms my heart to see someone like it.

Vherid, that shit looks incerdibly appealing. The color palette is pretty darn good. What do you do to
it to make it look like that? It's probably posted somewhere else/earlier in the thread, but I'm too tired
to look.
Anyways, I did some more stuff.
The first one, well...You can kinda see that it's been painted in grayscale and then artificially colored through layers later
It's annoying, but that's how I started it.I just wanted to work on my values, and they didn't really...work out that well.
as for the second one? Well, hehehe, that's my experience for a couple hours of adventure mode. Just kills me.

Yeah, I thought it was that filter. I've started to use it myself a little with various things.
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.

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))

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.

I love the choice of which ingredient this got named after. It's like a euphemism a distracted parent or desperate leader made up to get people to eat the stuff. "Let's stick some strawberries on it and hope nobody notices."

It's a dwarflike humanoid! In leather armor. At least he has a ponytail.

I like it, Tulx! But how is he holding his shield? You can't really just wear a shield, it's impractical.
-
An elf. Drew the pose from reference.
(http://tnypic.net/images/91191.jpg) (http://tnypic.net/)
Because of my shading, it looks like her wrists are torn off. Actually, she is holding her hands behind her back.
Once I'll figure out the ideal proportions for dwarves, I'll draw them.

the last one reminds me too much of a protoss, not quite sure what i was going for there, but it's not really gobliny enough.
-
Those are some elfy goblins :p not really how I imagined them but good job nevertheless. I very much like the general feel you've achieved with the beak dog and troll. Nice.
-
Nice drawings, but I don't know why but those armors reminds me of Mass effect ones.
-
Your goblins are about right. Don't remember off the top of my head what a beak dog is supposed to look like, haven't seen them in game in quite some time.
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.
-
I'm pretty sure beak dogs are rainbow velociraptors.
-

I like the implication that you've drawn plenty of nude ones. :P
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?
-
Those are amazing daemoria.
I heard beak dogs are basically just raptors though
-
:D wow, thanks for the kind words everyone.
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. :)
-
hah yea, the technicolor hair of the goblins is quite trippy.
and now for the actual goblin tower, its pretty cozy, the bits that haven't fallen into the sea.
(http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m110/Daezanartist/towerofcups.jpg)
-
that's an interesting interpretation! I like the goblins and trolls, very imposing. Reminds me of how LOTR goblins originally were corrupted elves, and how they were the best metalworkers aside from the men of Gondor
although I do think the beak dog is way too big and scary.. but then again I tend towards interpreting dark fortress creatures in more goofy, awkward proportions (and I think I posted a drawing of a beak dog many months ago?)

I think my last fort had one of these. It was lined with looms, clothier workshops, and powered mills. I messed up with the waterwheel stack and flooded all 5 z-levels. It was worse than the Triangle Shirtwaist disaster :P

BTW . . . . . . . . ., or ninedots, as a common lurker of this thread in days gone by, I can easily say that you are my favorite artist of all time.

I have to agree. I find it akin to looking at the ocean.
You stare at it and at first just see chaotic waves. However if you stare at it for enough time you start to see the rips and the tides. Then you start to learn that there's an order to what seemed like pure chaos. Almost humbling in a way ...

I drew a troll maiden. She's wearing a troll fur cap, troll fur dress, troll fur hood, troll fur cloak, troll fur trousers, troll fur socks (not visible), troll fur low boots, and troll fur mittens.
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.
I'm finally convinced I've pinned down what DF trolls are meant to look like in game (when they show up in goblin invasions). I'm not sure if cave trolls wear clothes.
-
BM, that is... really good! Reminds me of some kind of mythical Balinese creature, like a Barong or similiar.
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
Lastly, if I start up doing drugs and just staring at my computer screen in a haze, I'm blaming that last picture of Ninedots's. :P Trippy stuff!

I'm sorry.
It represents a goblin snatcher, at night, approximately two seconds before realizing it's caught in a cage trap.
-
Very allegorical. I especially like how the pitch black night helps to set the mood with the moonlight shimmering off the goblin's face. Compositionally, the vast dark space that is above and in front of the goblin helps to illustrate the uncertainties and possibilities of life and universe. Will the goblin succeed in rescuing the dwarven children from their atrocious 'childcare' (which includes dodging rabid dogs until the age of 12 as we all know) or will his heroic attempt be in vain?
I'm sorry too
-
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
although i do wish i could afford adobe suite, tired of using scattered 3rd part softwares for animations, coding and drawing. (notepad++ is superior due to having access to almost all coding languages though.)
-
GIMP has a burn tool? Where?
-
Here you go:
(http://tnypic.net/6c13a.gif)
You can also colour dodge/burn with other tools by changing the "Mode" dropdown.
-
Just to chime in for all those willing to play with dodge/burn- it's generally considered the most bland way of shading. If you take a look at rhesusmacabre's beautiful av, you'll see that the shading changes all three elements of a colour- hue, saturation, value. Dodge/burn doesn't do that.
So my advice- stay away from it unless you've really mastered shading with just the paintbrush.

Ah, so that is the dodge/burn tool.
Heh, my GIMp is in a different language, so I just thought it was the "Shadow/lighting" tool.

Here's a pic of an artifact that I found in my fortress: Noosestrangled the Lucid Meditation-Pillar (which would probably fit better for a warhammer, but whatever). Nothing really funny or weird, just that kind of generic artifact.
Although I think it's pretty sweet-looking when you put all the spikes and things on it, even if the yellowish-reddish rubicelles have a kind of icky color next to the leather.

It's a pretty sweet painting, and not just for the raw skill behind it, either! I like the merry scene depicted, and how that one dwarf is like either introducing his wife, or requesting that a song be played in her honor. 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.

Looks like the comic has disappeared from that thread. Was it the one where the dwarf gets a bolt shot in his mouth, snaps the bolt in half with his jaws, spits out a solitary tooth, and then gives the goblin a death-stare? And all that was in the combat log of the game (except the death-stare).
That was cool. I searched for that a while ago and couldn't find it.

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.

This is a crayon art reward by 'Three Toe' Adams.
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?

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.

Lots of unused potential, mainly. So much negative space. So much of the painting which is completely unused.
Silhouettes are bad, anatomy is shite, blah blah so on. Main point being that it all just doesn't fit together well,
mostly because of just sloppy planning (ie. No planning whatsoever).
If anyone is interested in the speedpainting video of the ...well the painting, I have a linkie right here, buddy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6Wuqo0VXvo&feature=plcp).

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 : )

I can change it if you deem it necessary?

Tofu, I think the composition is pretty successful. The eye is drawn to the important bits, the dwarves and the goblins, and it's obvious from just people's positions that the dwarven party is blithely approaching the goblins waiting in ambush. This atmosphere is further enhanced by the contrast between the bright and gloomy parts of the forest; the dwarves are walking down a serene, sunlit road, and although they are experienced enough to keep their guard up, they can't see the goblins hiding in shadows. Yeah, there's plenty of dead space with nothing interesting on it, but that's okay. I'd say it adds to the piece. Builds tension, just like dead bits in movies.
You might have a point about anatomy, though. The center goblin is fine, but the one on the left is kinda terrible. :)
And speaking of terrible anatomy, here is my contribution to the lengthening of this thread.

Thanks, Soadreqm. Don't agree on you with the negative space there. Makes it unbalanced in my eyes, but thanks
nonetheless.
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.

As the guy who sponsored Horseshoe Crabs, I thank you for this! I should print it out and next breeding season (late May, early June unfortunately) photograph a few walking over or near the print. Regular horseshoe crabs of course. Horseshoe Crab Men are far too dangerous to be around.
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.
Edit: The glowing red eyes in the forest are freaking choice.
Thanks, man. That means a lot to me : )
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.

Thanks to all of you for the kind words. I really do love you guys :)
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 :

Well stop getting hurt. I didn't authorize it--you're too important to lose. :P
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.

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.

That was genuinely heartwarming :,) Thank you very much.
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 : )

... Never painted anything snaky before, you say? That is one solid snake man if i ever saw one. I don't know how you do it, but my jaw manages to drop every single time you post something. 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. :P

I totally forgot about my new portfolio piece, which I've actually been thinking about for the

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).

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 : )

Justin Gerards new sketchbook release "Ents & Orcs"
http://muddycolors.blogspot.no/2012/08/sketchbook-2012-shipping-out.html
It has a bunch of amazing fantasy related sketches and so on, and it's worth checking out.
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.
Anyways, here's a sample of the sketchbook:

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.

I think it's fake... It is cyan, at least.

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!

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

I love your angle-y style, its really original and dwarfy, and a rare combination of down-to-earth and artsy.

Vester always drew Cacame with a fake beard, hanging off one ear.

I don't know how to make the letters have outlines in photoshop.
But I'm loving Unamused Dwarf Guy. He's the one dwarf who's sane in the whole fortress. He's perfectly willing to go without booze and won't break the still just because he's too sober. 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.

Alas, I only have Paint at the moment, so I do not know how to make outlines for the text either.

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?
-
Right. I'm going to just throw my current adventurer's description out there, and see what disturbing art comes from it.
She is a vampire (Assuming sharpened fangs, possibly red eyes?). Her right eye was utterly destroyed. Her right hand is cut open. Her lungs have been pierced and torn. Her liver has been destroyed. She was recently melted by dragonfire, so her steel gauntlets, boots, and greaves are melted and fused into her arms, feet, and legs, respectfully. Her heart is torn. Her clothes, aside from the armor stated before, are burnt blue peafowl tatters, mostly gone. And now for the listed ingame description, sans injuries (Which I listed here.)
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!)
-
how about a description of how she got that way?
-
Various forms of !!FUN!!, Rail-gun launched bolts, pike to the eye, fireball flinging titan... Falling down a 19 z level pit... Dragonfire, of course... She had an eventful career, alright? I actually ended up becoming a vampire as an alternative to dying to a bolt to the lungs.
-
one of my followers described this pic as "looks like a pair of brand new cheese makers are about to leave the fort!'
it was actually supposed to depict one of the ever popular methods of training military dwarves to swim. but that works too - any scenario involving dwarves and a floodgate really!

Dammit, I made the mistake of reading your description first, Fault.
I still think you got your original intention across, with the stern and purposeful looks of the sodiers.

Has anyone drawn Derm the Soulchopper (from Towersoared) hacking a Forgotten Beast to pieces? Because that should really be given visual form. I remember that his first FB kill was a feathery spider of some kind.

I like the way you draw dwarven anatomy. Most people seem to proportion them such that they would have trouble functioning. Yours look like genuine short, sturdy people who could do anything a human could. Stout, but still capable of touching their toes.

I just looked back, and I saw two drawings by Fault that combined DF and my absolute favorite show of all time.
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
Could those pictures be expanded/updated?
-
Love your stuff, fault. I have no idea how you manage to paint so well with such solid brushstrokes.
the other stuff is awesome as well : )
I haven't done too much in the way of dwarf fortress related stuff. Mostly oils, and studies.
But I got around to touch up on the previous painting; it works better now.
I also...made a facebook header out of an old painting you might recognize.
Only took me 20 minutes to paint over the majority of the mistakes, actually.

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.
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)

I'm loving that tundra titan. Pretty nice.
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.
For the moment being though, I don't have a job, and was thinking about maybe putting up some sort
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
best of luck with that, i'm sad that i won't be your first client though, i'm myself in dire financial straits

I sketched this out in pencil during my watch today, then scanned it in and added (what I hope is) a watercolour effect using GIMP. As you can see, I haven't really figured out what I'm doing with digital art yet, but I thought that this would be nice enough to publish here.

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 don't worry about the profit, man. I have food and a roof over my head,

This is a poorly designed image of an arboreal pangolin man. All mouse work is of an unsteady quality. It is decorated with closely set brown scales. It was mandated by Buttery-Mess.

Indeed. Pangolins are incredibly awesome. Thus, pangolin men/women must be several magnitudes of awesome more awesome!

I intended to fully shade and colour it but doing the scales crushed my spirit. I may get around to it eventually. In the meantime here's another MS Paint thing I started a long time ago and never finished. It was going to be for a thread where people were talking about the best way to combat mounted units. In the full version there's also a dwarf with a spear and then there was going to be another drawing that finished off the silly gag I had imagined. But the dwarf looks lamer than the knight and neither of them lined up properly to make them look like there were up against each other and I lost interest.

Loving everyones' work!
That dwarf almost looks like he has one of those masks used along with samurai armor.
I'm too tired to look that up...
But, I have some stuff I finished 10 minutes ago or so:
Martial Trance
(http://conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1651064&d=1354597782)
Just wanted to paint an enraged Dwarf. I recorded the whole ordeal, which only took about 1 hour
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
find a link to in my signature. As I stated before, half of the profits go to the one true toad and his brother.
Oh man, this feels advertise-y
I really like your artwork but this dwarf looks like he's masturbating & has just climaxed!

A good way to tell if you've done a bad job at colouring and/or shading is when you're not sure that it didn't look better beforehand.

Hahaha, I love how you all interpret my last painting in such an
utterly perverse way...just like I did halfway in. I said to myself
that "surely no one would think like I do, right?" And then you did.
Pretty funny :)
I really love all the other stuff here too. Awesome stuff.

Dwarves.
In the DF world, major arteries are everywhere. O_o

Well, that blood's got to get to your feet and back to your torso somehow, and the only route is right past the joint. If their knee were seriously injured, there's a possibility of that artery being torn.

That's awesome. "It's a fair cop, guv" and the woman in the final panel are gold. Not to mention Hattooth the Crown of Crowning.

You just have to get used to tablets, like any other new medium. Keep at it; it just takes practice. c:
I really like the "legendary" cloak that vampire fella has - nice touch.

Use a link to the image itself. If you're looking at your webpage with the full version of your image on it, right click and select "copy image location" and paste the URL it copies into image tags.

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.

I don't really know why it's broken to be honest. None of the images on the site works,

I uploaded it to tumblr a while ago, so here's a down-sized version until the images are back up:

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.

I like the details with all the engravings.

I agree. That's really neat.

Colors and detail look very nice. Thanks for sharing, Buttery_Mess.

I think it's just a contoured foregrip.
-
Maybe the foregrip is a pumping ratchet to draw the bowstring back?
-
It is actually a contoured foregrip. But, you could install a pumping ratchet. In fact you can see that they have little handles to turn on the top, and one of them is cranking it. There are a bewildering array of mechanisms for constructing a functional crossbow though. I'd build one with a spring instead of a bow, for instance.
-
You could use the X-Com logic and make the crossbow ( / scatter laser) pump-action just because it looks slightly more badass.

I'm not the most skilled at drawing. But I've been trying to draw "screenshots." Scenes exactly as they appear in the game. These are all on index cards.

I absolutely approve of this, Hamsmagoo. There's nothing I like more than to see depictions of actual stuff going on in game.
-
Thanks.
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.
-
I like the cod statue.
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.
-
Just a quick sketch of how I might depicts different types of stairs. Of course, the material they're made from (blocks, rough hewn, carved) would effect appearance as well.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v620/thelobo/stairs.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/thelobo/media/stairs.jpg.html)
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
-
I think DF-stairs are even more complex then that. An up-down-stair allows movement to up to 26 different tiles (9 one z-level below, 8 on the same z-level, 9 above).
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.
-
Technically, there are no ladders in Dwarf Fortress, but if you wanted to draw up/down stairs to look like a ladder, you could. As long as provides access to the lower layer as well as the upper.
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.
-
I mean bedrooms like this, with D being a door, + being floor, # being walls. According to dwarven physics, the two rooms are separate from each other but share the same door. Whenever I try to sketch it out, it doesn't seem accurate.

I stayed awake all last night downloading every picture I could from this thread, sorting them by the creator's username. Unfortunately there were many dead links, and some links that looked like they ought to be working but which did not work for me. Still, I got hundreds of images. It was difficult to tell sometimes when work was plagiarised and/or when it was misposted in the thread; some of the links were somewhat convoluted. I used my best judgement when deciding what to include.
Here (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16901593/moving%20sound.rar) is the .rar, current up to Julien Brightside's post on May the 23rd.
Now I'm going to get a quick nap in.

And actually, didn't notice it before, but your comic reminds me of a specific embark in my world where the biome was tropical, but I guess it got hit with a cold front or something the moment I started because it was buried in snow. That storm was followed by a parade of tundra titans.

++#### ++#++# ++D### ++#++# ###### |
I've always imagined doors like this to either have hinges at the top, like many crawlspace doors do in real world homes, or to actually slide up into the ceiling (or down into the floor) like counterweighted double pane windows.

Glad to hear that you liked it Clatch.
I find those drawings quite good when it comes to depicting the crazy life that is Dwarf Fortress.
Thanks!
And actually, didn't notice it before, but your comic reminds me of a specific embark in my world where the biome was tropical, but I guess it got hit with a cold front or something the moment I started because it was buried in snow. That storm was followed by a parade of tundra titans.
That sounds like a whole lot of fun. The mental image of a parade of frost based titans crashing your party is kinda hilarious.

I went over the propaganda with a marker. Looks a little nicer, I think? If I had a tray, I'd dip the sheet in tea and yellow it up a bit, make it look a bit old-timey, but I don't have a tray. Oh well.
Also; nice one Tofu. POAST MOAR

Also seen it in the other thread. That is epic. Because of the colors, those silhouettes. The font is also nicely picked. And the location isn't bad at all, with that old ruin looming on the hill.
To me, World Iso Viewer reveals how much detail already is in the dwellings. Something I never really grasped from adventure mode "street view".

The levels of art here never fail to astound me. I believe my jaw is becoming unhinged :/

Might be better when the new version is out and you can hunt down an actual dwarf fortress. Although we could be looking at a Halloween release this time around, so it's not like you can't do other things in the interim.

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.

I wanted to illustrate a goblin riding an giant olm because all the goblins who recently invaded my fort showed up riding giant olms.

Once I had a death where I was a dragon adventurer and a hero to the human civ. I got a bunch of followers, and went out on a mission. Along the way, A huge amount of scared goblins ambushed me, I started out with just melee attacks so as not to endanger my human troops. Soon enough, most of my troops were dead, and I just started tossing around flame breath, all-out attacking, then died mid-charge against goblin who got a lucky shot to the head with a ranged weapon. Watched for a while afterward with . and there was a bunch of at least one goblin retching, and I think at least one other one regaining and losing consciousness. I'd like to see art from that please.

I'm pretty sure that at least some of these are being done with tablet art programs. From time to time you hear folks talking about their tablets. I'm imagining a touchscreen tablet with a few different types of stylus and an extensive editing suite.
I'm just happy to look at them, as I have somewhere around zero skill in the drawing department.
-
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:

And yeah, I use a wacom bamboo and Photoshop elements. I've never heard of anyone using more then one stylus.

I actually have two pens for my Bamboo. This is because I lost my pen, and was forced to buy another one off the internet (slightly cheaper than buying a new Bamboo), because I needed the tablet urgently for university work. I then, naturally, found the other pen two weeks later. The new pen is actually nicer to use than the old one, in my opinion (this one (http://eu.shop.wacom.eu/images/articles/35d1054cee7000ce7675ea313e0ca060_8.jpg) instead of this one (http://www.tablet4u.co.uk/image/2488.600.616.600/pen-for-bamboo-pen-ctl-470k.jpg)), so it sort of works out in the end. For years I used an Intuos 1, and though I miss the area and the double-ended pen, the Bamboo outstrips it completely in terms of actual drawing. It's amazing how good and cheap tablet technology has become.

I woke up today with an idea on my head. I need to make a comic about dungeon crawling, inspired by roguelikes and Dwarf Fortress...... with a Kobold as main character.

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).
I'll keep up trying to draw daily tho.
Aaand another quick one.

I just can't make a proper pose other than "stand straight and still".
I was trying to fix that derpy leg so many times the spot there became grey from eraser marks (and unusable) so i uploaded the first scan (noticed that leg when i saw it on the computer screen) that also incidentally looked better than my attempts to fix it.
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?
-
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.
Putting a mass limit of the stolen thing based on the mass of the stealer might be a good idea though.

Based on the strength of the stealer would make more sense. Gotta account for monkeys getting swole.

That's some darn good stuff Tofu.
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.

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.

Only since the raws were reworked. Used to be you butchered some elves and you'd wind up with a bunch of useless narrow gear. THe new raws don't capture that subtlety, I guess.

Or toady simply changed his mind.
-
The raws are pretty crystal clear about the relative body shapes of elves, dwarves, goblins, and humans.
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.
-
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).
(http://i.imgur.com/eGuaiES.png)
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"

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.
-
I chose two dimensions because I believe relsizes are used for combat hit likelihood. Which would mean they ARE two dim. measurements.
-
That may be the case (I'm not sure, but it sounds right), but given that all creature sizes are given in terms of volume, it's just not believable that the relative sizes are given in terms of cross-sectional area. 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. Regardless, that combat model is somewhat simplistic. In reality, all parts of the humanoid body are trivially easy to hit if the victim takes no steps to protect himself, and if he is protecting himself, the hardest parts to hit are the ones he's protecting the most. So basically, it doesn't make sense to define the body plan in terms of the combat model.
-
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.
-
itg would be correct there. In the next version it will also matter in adventure mode because the vision arc of a creature will be measured in a cone extending in front of them.
-
Oh okay, well my mistake on the directionality, then.
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.

Impressive as always, Mr. Dots.
In the first one, the only thing that seemed to grab my attention but seem out of place was what looked like a suspended lump of golden rock in the middle of the sky.
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.

Zach went out to hunt some night creatures and found a bunch of monsters of twilight up in a tree... turns out their blood-sensing ability allowed them to detect all the scary beasts deep underground and they wanted nothing to do with it, so they fled from their lair (which was not attached in any way to the beasts underground) and treed themselves.
Inspiration forces me to wow you all with my pro MS paint skills.

Is this a reference to the comments Toady made about night creatures leaving their lairs and climbing trees to get away from things underground that they couldn't possibly see? Those scary, scary clowns.

Pardon my ignorance, but I have to ask -- is Adventure Time itself a parody of classic Legend of Zelda?

Leader of the local goblin civ came to lead the Elk Bird/Voracious Cave Crawler lasher cavalry during my most recent siege. Interestingly, he was totally unarmed and unarmored; his most interesting features were a grizzly bear pelt cloak, which I totally gave up on trying to draw properly, "very long" ears, and "slightly bulging" red eyes. Doodled him while waiting for someone to unlock a door for me.

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 :)

Nicely done I say.

It's not a parody; it's a celebration.
I'd say that's not mutually exclusive, considering most Legend of Zelda parodies are celebratory (even in poking fun) in my experience. 8^) [ETA:] The same goes for Dwarf Fortress parody, come to think of it...
(I was sure I'd seen the "sword through the title horizontally" thing in a Zelda title screen or box art somewhere, but I haven't been able to find it. A Link to the Past had the sword through the Z vertically if I recall correct, and just about every title in the old days had the sword somewhere nearby, but... eh, maybe it's just me, or maybe I'm forgetting the one instance where it was through the title horizontally.)

He might simply be young. Sure he's wearing armor, but dwarves become independent at 12 if I remember right.
He looks a little worried, and hesitant. Maybe a bit effete. His hair is long but his beard short.
I'm definitely getting a young noble feel from this one.

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. Considering how many other cRPGs trace their legacy back to Wizardry, I suspect that's the origin of the meme as such; but I'm curious as to where it actually originated. I'd guess book covers, either of P&P RPGs, or sword & sorcery novels; but searching for that sort of thing is tricky and it's been quite a while.

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.

I had another go at it, and I think it turned out more dwarf-like, but something was also lost in the process. I need to give it several more goes, I think, although this does look pretty coherent.

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 :)
-
Not long ago I was inspired by a comic on the Museum succession game to resolve to draw my adventures in the next version when it came out. But then, as it turns out, I could hardly do anything in 0.40.01 without it crashing. And it's been a busy week with little time for actually playing Dwarf Fortress: It Was Inevitable, compounded by being too amused reading all the stories on the forums... Basically, I haven't started drawing my adventures, *yet*.
But, some of us have noticed that Legends Mode recounts kobolds stealing from vaults quite a bit. So far I haven't seen any claims that they steal the hidden object of interesting but nigh useless power, but you know that my mind went there just for the irony. After all, kobolds have been skulking little nobodies for so long, whose only claim to fame (stealing things that are actually valuable from seemingly well-defended dwarven fortresses) was also why they're perfectly hateable (or would be if they weren't pathetically cute). Now, suddenly, here they are acting as badass commandos extracting items from the safehouses of the gods under the eyes of beings the likes of which even the Forgotten Beasts are only a cruel parody. Well... I figured I may as well start there and see what happens.
Despite not having explored a dark fortress well enough to know what it looks like. Despite not having drawn anything since art class years ago. Despite having no time and having had a less than stellar day.
Here's the result, for what it's worth (and, let me know if there's an art thread this would go well in instead of its own thread).

I used to think this as well, but apparently they are pants, according to the raws. Now, I wouldn't be surprised if someone modded a creature to be able to wear thongs as shoes or headgear, but that's a different story.

You could've been able to tell that by the fact that a single thong is shown clearly to be worn around the waist in game. Just sayin'.

I'll have you know, that no, none of my gold crafts, or my bonecrafts, or my stonecrafts are made of wood.

Also the hatred for DF Elves were mostly because cannibals-post-battle for the victor. Everything else is more biased because modern hate or hippies or whatever. :v

Really? I always figured it was because they'd bring lots of cloth and little else, and then get all snooty because you tried to trade them some item that happened to be decorated with wood or bone.
In any case, I've always liked them for bringing me exotic animals.
As always, that's an awesome picture, Tofu! I haven't done one of those forts in a while. I should do that again.

Figure I should drop some fanart here, this was recently made after realizing the perfect size comparison for bogeymen shortness
and adorableness.
(http://www.truimagz.com/host/fortcrush2/de/bogeyman-size-comparison-2.png) bogeymen body size are half the size of a fluffly wambler.
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.

Elves can't usually grow beards, so as long as his face-hair is suitably luscious he should be safe from the meandering Neanderthals of fortress-wrecking disrespect.
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.

I think it'll be fine. It's super rad, though! I'm digging the guard, she's well-done. Reminds me a lot of Final Fantasy.

I just have had this, if someday someone wants to draw an horror situation I would be very happy to offer this one ! My young niece is very fond of horror story and gore situation and she generally loves my stories from DF (and she is 9 years old), with limbs cut and blood everywhere.
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.

After a brief exchange about non-eurocentric influences in DF, I was inspired to draw some more culturally varied dwarves. Here's the first, a Persian inspired caravan guard:
(http://puu.sh/diIPy/b1d9c01b79.jpg)
Yes, I really wish I had a better webcam. Next time I'll try using my tablet, but it's in a box, somewhere, ugh.
Anyway, you can tell she's a caravan guard because she has her civ's emblem on her breastplate and helm - three cabochon-cut gems. (I always seem to get that one!)
-
I love her expression. It's that sidelong 'so we're stopping here, huh?' look I imagine most guards give the merchants when stopping by your average player fort.

I also really like LadyGolem's caravan guard!

it is always entertaining to attempt to drawn demons and forgotten beasts.

I have my last final tomorrow and I'm gonna wanna blow off a bit of steam afterwards, before I get back to working on TLCM.
If you leave a suggestion/idea between now and then I might be inclined to doodle it...

I have had an interesting situation with quite gore (look at #8208) , a lot of dead bodies and ghosts, if you have some time I would be very happy because this mayor (Count, since then), is a very important character for my current fortress !

Tangentially related:
"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.

Anyone wanna take a stab at drawing this artifact helm?
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.
It's worn by my multi-legendary militia commander, who is wearing full steel plate and wielding a masterwork bronze battle axe and steel shield.

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.

Blackbronze quoted daemoria's massive image the style of which you enjoyed. To prevent clogging up the thread with repeats of massive images, increasing loading times and the difficulty of actually finding anything, as a guideline, spoilers when quoting an image are useful.
It doesn't really matter that much though.

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.

My apologies for this. I cannot draw for shit. Then why am I here, you ask? Because I would like to see a night troll I generated drawn or something.
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.

Given the choice, I would prefer to meet him in a dark alley wearing clothes. Neither option is appealing, however.

Nice!
You know, now that I have a good look at all of his traits, he looks a little like a Goron from Zelda with a beard.
Just a little.
But we should get back on topic, my good sirs!

Here are some juniorgeneral style Goblin armies I did a while back. Also a group of kobolds. I actually did this for a nationstates thing that died before it begun, but DF definitively inspired me.

Time to revive the thread.

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.
-
(How can you tell the imaged artifact is made from pig leather just by looking at the coin?)
-
Fire detailing in the background depicts the leathermaking process, perhaps. The craftsmanship of the dwarves is unparalleled, especially when it comes to making currency that is useless for buying things.
Do different metals yield different images, or am I misremembering? The wiki says they do.
-
(How can you tell the imaged artifact is made from pig leather just by looking at the coin?)
In general I'd assume the artifact is just famous enough that people know what it is?
-
Yeah, I assume it's a specific artifact, and he just didn't want to bore us with the details. Of course, artifact details are never boring.

I think, goblins look alike Mongolian horde, not Egiptian. And their clothes are white (spider silk) or gray(troll fur yarn), probably black (but in game they have no dyer).

It would be cool if you could just allow people their own interpretations of a deliberately open-ended and flexible game rather than repeatedly trying to police them with your subjective notions of what DF is "supposed" to be like.

It used to be much more common. You still see in in Asian works where the idea that only elves have pointy ears didn't become as prevalent as here.

If we continue that trend, they'll turn out to be exceptionally decent and fantastically mediocre.
Which they aren't: they're brilliant! I really like how the faces, gestures, and equipment characterize each individual dwarf.

Very kind of you to say! I can only put it down to finding a really nice pen.
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 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.

That's cool, I imagine it would then be carefully inscribed with 'here be dragons' and 'filthy goblin tribes', although knowing the dwarfs it would probably be 'promising gold seams', 'potential threats to tetrahedrite mines' and 'Warning: Carp'. :-)

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 made a something:
(https://i.imgur.com/CbkoElD.png)
Already posted it on reddit so I'll just quote the explanation I made over there.
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 :)

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 wanted to draw something from a fort game I am currently very attached to, so here's a quick sketch of what I imagine two soldier dwarves would look like with the symbols of their civ and their fort/group/government. "The Creative Sandals" was described as an image of a dwarf, and "The Tree of Dyes" was described as an image of a rose cut gem. I put a little brick wall on each one since each dwarf is from the Rampart of Vising, the last bastion of civilization. The forces of Heavyrags stand tall against our undead foes!

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.
