The Forgotten Beast Stasno Nokastomsu has come! A towering ape with external ribs. It has a pair of long antennae and appears bloated. Beware its fire!
The original thread, which can be found here (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=76346.0) has been amazing, and produced some of the most amazing art I have seen online. As it has been going for over two years now, it would seem that the thread starter is no longer maintaining it.
But Forgotten Beasts are still wandering the depths of the world, and continue to come - often at inconvenient times.
I will do my best to maintain this thread. Time permitting, I would also like to compile a depository for the horrifying creatures and corresponding art.
The rules are simple - a person posts a Forgotten Beast. Within a course of one week, people draw them. At the end of a week, the owner of the beast then chooses their favorite, and the artist gets to choose a new beast!
To do so, add a beastie of your choice to your image post. (as seen here: link (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=124312.msg4135460#msg4135460)) While not mandatory, this will greatly speed up beastie drawings!
Do try and make your submission original. Blobs and asses (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donkey) can only be drawn in so many ways.
Lastly, don't be afraid to draw! All submissions are welcome, and are amazing. Even if all you have is MS paint and no drawing ability
----
As I don't have access to DF at the moment, we could use a submission to get the thing rolling. Dig into your legends!
----
Handy Tips:
- Don't have a scanner? In decent light (i.e. bright lamp, outdoors), a regular digital camera can do a good job of capturing the image
- Many public libraries have scanners that are available to the public
- Need a program to save/edit your image? Try GIMP (http://www.gimp.org/downloads/) or PaintNet (http://www.getpaint.net/Share). MS Paint is also good for that
- Need a hosting service? Good ones are Photobucket (http://photobucket.com/), Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/), imgur (http://imgur.com/) amongst others. Maybe somebody can clarify the copyright/ownership details so I can remove the worst ones from the list.

One Mucousjuice the Mangy Frothy Suckers was a forgotten beast. It was the only one of its kind. An enormous three-eyed nuthatch. It has two long, spiral horns and it has a bloated body. Its eyes glow azure. Beware its deadly spittle! One was associated with water, disease and caverns.

Posting to follow the new thread.Yep.
Post by: DarkerDark on March 25, 2013, 09:17:00 pm
My proposition is more a scene.
The context :
My Fortress was built on a volcano. And my city is the only one remaining of this dwarven civilization. All wiped out by nasty elves.
I was besieged by them, mounted on giant elephants, frogs, mosquitos and so on.
I pushed the right levers, and all the city was closed, except for some of them who could find a way to my magma trap (but that's another story).
Most of them stood in the rain, outside, waiting.
Suddenly, HIM, the great worm, arrived.He immediately tried to kill the elves, and it was quite funny to see the giant frog ran away from the creature, while it was burning everything. He was just fast enough to avoid the flame. But at the same time, because of it, quickly, all the surroundings of the volcano were burning like hell.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And suddenly, SHE came. Athe pagedwave, on her giant mosquito.
There was a battle, in the sky, a mosquito against a bow-elf.
She blocked several fire, and at last, after one or two cedar arrows in the wings, she shot him in the head, and pulled the brain out of it. Under her, most of the lands were now burning, and most of the elves had to flee from their position, several died.
But not her.
I thought it was quite cool.
So someone requested this in the previous thread.

Never seen "the giant is as tal' as the mountains it was named for, with legs the size of large trees and arms resembling slightly smaller ones" or "its sunken eyes, though showing little intelligence, reveal unrestrained hostility towards anything that may be considered food, no matter the size."

My submission is a plains titan called Nos that was so badass in its world history that for 50 odd years or so it managed to dominate an entire age as the 'Age of the Plains Titan'.

Nos was a plains titan. It was the only one of its kind. A towering turkey composed of flame. It has a knobby shell and it has a regal bearing. Nos was associated with rivers, plants, nature and animals.

You know, putting our ideal beast in our submission would speed things up amazingly, the biggest cause of thread death in the old one was waiting for people to post a beast, sometimes for months lol. I have edited my submission to include a beast and would recommend that everyone do the same.
I once had a 500 year reign of the swamp titan, but it was a dumb stegosauri, not a regal shelled turkey made of flame. That is just the straight dope.

Another one, more a quick concept than a finished drawing. The forgotten beast generator seems to spit out a lot of forgotten beasts that are based on innocent looking little songbirds. I have a hard time imagining them as death-dealing beasts from the underworld, but drawing them helps somewhat.
Hey, those birds are both awesome! And k33n, I like that suggestion. I will add it to OP.Fine with me if people keep picking a winner based on the drawing, and not on the suggestion for the new FB... I'll try and add a FB description in the coming days.

Post by: Rocktomato on March 28, 2013, 03:36:26 am
And, yeah, 2 weeks might be a bit much. If there's a really interesting Forgotten beast there tended to be quite a few drawings - more than we're getting here - in a small space of time. 2 weeks would only really work for the super-dull ones like
"A giant blob made of filth. It squirms and fidgets. Beware its poisonous webs."
For which we'd not be expecting many entries.

Wow, Rum. That looks awesome. I especially like the Asiatic lean the style has, reminds me of Okami!

That's what I was thinking. I will specify 1 week in the original thread, and try to keep track of the current beastie. If you disagree, please let me know and I'll adjust as needed.

I assume that you mean an archive for the winning FB depictions? I'm not certain that's been done before - did the last thread do it? If so, you could always copy their method.
Indeed, or maybe even an archive of all submissions. But I don't know where to host it yet. I'll have a look around the other thread sometime.

From what I understand, in the 1st generation of the thread the eventual process was a vote to determine the winner.
The current process is that only the person who posts the beast gets to choose the winner after 1 week has passed. The winner then chooses a new beast. Ideally, the picture submissions would include a beast to be used if they win.
My personal thinking is that having the poster choose the winner is a lot faster, especially if everyone gets into the habit of posting their favorite creature for when they win.
At the same time, I can see some merit to the general vote. Any thoughts on this?
Post by: rcmgames on April 01, 2013, 04:11:51 pm
The pitfall I can see is when someone is picked as a winner - regardless of whether they acknowledge it or not, we can start to draw the new beast. But when it comes around to picking a winner for that round, and the original winner isn't present.. what do we do then? How long do we wait for them to return? How long is the poll for the new winner?
Do we give CognitiveDissonance admin power to solve any lulls by announcing winners/picking new FB? More importantly, do you want this power?

I think it's a great idea for each submission to have a FB attached to it (as a hard rule) - you can't be picked as a WINNER if you don't include one. I know we've all seen how the thread can quickly lose it's momentum when the winner doesn't return with a new FB promptly.

Hmm, you bring up some interesting points. I'm against absolutely requiring FB submissions as I would find that a disincentive if I were to join this thread. Here are my suggestions:
- If everything goes well, we proceed as follows. Author of beast chooses winner, winner presents FB (hopefully linked previously) and another week goes ahead
- If the original author is not around to choose a winner, we run a 2 day poll. First fast the post wins, and posts the next beastie.
- If that person is also not around, we should start a Forgotten Beast Compendium somewhere, such as an open Google Docs file, where people can put their favorite beasties and any relevant backstory to them. That way, we can pick a random or just a very interesting one, and keep going.
This way, the turn-around would be at most 10 days long.
Thoughts?

Hmm, you bring up some interesting points. I'm against absolutely requiring FB submissions as I would find that a disincentive if I were to join this thread. Here are my suggestions:
- If everything goes well, we proceed as follows. Author of beast chooses winner, winner presents FB (hopefully linked previously) and another week goes ahead
- If the original author is not around to choose a winner, we run a 2 day poll. First fast the post wins, and posts the next beastie.
- If that person is also not around, we should start a Forgotten Beast Compendium somewhere, such as an open Google Docs file, where people can put their favorite beasties and any relevant backstory to them. That way, we can pick a random or just a very interesting one, and keep going.
This way, the turn-around would be at most 10 days long.
Thoughts?
also I'm against having to bring a FB to the table to draw, and having a database for FB incase of when the guy who won last time is a no show. kinda ruins the flare of seeing a new FB.
I do like that. I do want to balance the fun versus performance, as THE THREAD MUST FLOW. But this could be a good start to it. So, to reiterate:
- Once a Forgotten Beast is announced, everyone has 7 days to draw it
- At the end of the week, the owner of the beast picks their favorite. This person then chooses the next beast.
- If the owner is not available, the images are put up for a short vote. The winner chooses the next beast.
- If not available, the runner-up gets the honours
If things stall, we will change. But I like this, it's friendlier and more organic. Thoughts?
Also, in regards to...
The suggestions look pretty good to me, and I agree with Rum's thoughts as well.
Though I am in favor of a FB Compendium; but for completed FBs with their respective drawings placed inside. Or were you already planning on listing all completed FBs on the first page, Cognitive?
Anyway, here's an engraving of One Mucousjuice and lunch.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I would like to put together a compendium of drawings, and the front page will not last for long. A friend of mine just started a domain though and offered me hosting space for anything, so I just might plop it there.
Also that One Mucousjuice is AMAZING. Love it :D
EDIT: I forgot to respond to this:

Do we give CognitiveDissonance admin power to solve any lulls by announcing winners/picking new FB? More importantly, do you want this power?
I am very hesitant to choose a winner based solely on my preference. In an event of a general stall, I could declare a winner based on general comments as the pictures were posted. I would also want them seconded, ala formal meetings.
Such as:
Me: "As the voting has stalled, I declare ThisDamnArtist a winner due to having the most positive response"
CouldBeYou: "Seconded!"
Me: "Okay, I will message ThisDamnArtist and get them to pick the next beastie"
If nobody is readily available to post a beastie, I would rather draw on community content. I frequently come across very interesting stories about forgotten beasts, and I could start collecting them for unique challenges when necessary.

Yes! That sounds great. Also, we could have other challenges once in a while, just to spice things up. Like, as previously stated, drawing an FB based on a scenario/story, or based on a dwarf/human/dirty elf's PoV, or just having the drawings be done strictly on MSpaint and other such ideas. I don't know if this feels too restrictive for the others though.

That puts too much of a hobble on the creative interpretations that this thread is meant to encourage. Whimsical and silly is just as valuable as masterful rendering quality. The often ambiguous nature of the description pages is what makes this both fun and challenging, at least for me anyway.
Requiring the use of cripples art packages can make something fun into something very un-fun for many people. (And MSPaint is a lot like black liquorice. A VERY acquired taste. Per pixel art is a very different beast from what most artists are used to, and is a very unique medium, with its own very special set of techniques and foibles. While forcing people out of their element on occasion spurrs growth, doing it as a condition of candidacy for entry is a major turn off. I *can* use MSPaint. I prefer being able to use layers and transparency effects. Many artists would rather do something more enjoyable than suffer needlessly under arbitrary restrictions. I am against enforced medium requirements. As a "for the hell of it, no pressure, no obligation" teasing challenge that isn't really serious, it would be OK. But it shouldn't be an enforced entry condition for this thread, IMO.)
(Full disclosure, I have done several MSPaint doodles in the last thread, some of them came out rather nicely I think. Like the walrus. I like this walrus for some reason.. (and it's 100% MSPaint too!)

As long as the medium is available easily for everyone it would be fun. If anything it would even the playing field and everyone would struggle together. As for including a story aspect, I am strongly in favor. DarkerDark showed just how cool that can work out to be. Besides, this is a new thread in its infancy, the rules are yet to be written.
Also, from what I've seen so far:
GuesssWho - Hahahaha
GrizzleBridges - I really love the use of mixed media, the combination of photo manipulation and sketchbook is quite distinct. I am loving the conceptual design of it also!
Eric Blank - is that acrylic on cardboard? It has very disturbing vibe to it, scariest one yet I think, owing to a good composition and a great subdued palette. The way the paint plays on that board makes it so dreamish and creepy.
diamondwolf - Nice composition as well, its good to see ol' Nosot rampaging in a fortress. Very majestic, and those beady eyes emanate hatred! It kind of has a hydralysk feel to it, ya know? I like the loose hatching.
bmaczero - Ah, the first digital painting of the batch. I like the stylized take on it, nice textures on the antlers. Haha Venomoose

Although, if a story is manditory, I do have one regarding that hairy therapod; I had a pair of dwarves washed down the drain of my dining room waterfalls, and into the lake. Both of them survived the fall and escaped the lake without drowning, which is miraculous in it's own right. However, once down there the beast made a beeline for them, through the cave connecting that cavern to the one far above. I told the stranded dwarves to fight for their lives, and prepped my militia and miners to breach the cavern and rescue them (which in hindsight resulted in far more deaths than it prevented when the next beastie blundered in through that passage)
The two dwarves duked it out bare-fisted with the beast, whilst trapped in a little alcove. One of them was immediately dragged down and munched on by the beast, but his comrade started beating on it ineffectually and actually managed to lure it away, which resulted in his death. The beast went back to torturing the now-unconscious dwarf in the corner, and moments later the cavern was breached by the miner sent down and the militia poured in and engaged the beast. They turned it into a paste, I suppose, and saved the remaining dwarf's life at the cost of some injury and casualty to the militiadwarves. I think the casualty was only a recruit, though. My Head Woodsdwarf, of the seven originally embarking, was credited with the kill after the beast bled to death. Later, the stranded dwarf recovered from his wounds, other than the motor nerve damage to one of his hands, and scarring on his other hand and buttocks... Note to self: don't tell horrible monsters to kiss your ass; they might try to remove it.

Being "globular", and "has exoskeleton", the usual signs of being emaciated (sunken soft tissues, being thin, wan, etc) would not really be applicable. It could be starving to death, and still have a nice round, hard exoskeleton.

Perhaps you may wish to use a community site to host a group or profile of some kind. For example, you could use deviantart to host a group that would collect it. You are even capable of using deviantart as a place to upload the images.
That is an excellent idea! I was contemplating on how I would put together a framework for uploading images. DeviantArt already has that covered. I would have to have a peek at their IP rules, but that's definitely a winning proposition.

For the record, it is nearly impossible to depict scales using an 18x18 pixel pallet. Not impossible, but nearly impossible. There is a very minor dimpling in the shading on the back that is attempting to give this impression. So it is I suppose :P

I don't see how anyone could claim any of our works infringe on their copyright. We're doing it all ourselves through our own methods, and the subject matter is quite unique. Toady is the only one that would have an explicit copyright to DF-related works as far as I know. Is this a regular occurrence on Deviantart?
Personally I don't mind at all, even though my submissions are awful and few and far between. I do have a deviantart account, though.

Uhm..... is Urist in pain in the second frame, or.. erhm.... getting off? I ask, because it looks like his nipples got hard enough to cut glass in that second frame. O.oHe took joy in slaughter recently.

Also, why don't you hold, like, a titan/demon art contest, too, while you're at it? (unless this already falls under this category)
Just askin', not like I would participate anyway.
Technically, this covers all creatures. Forgotten Beasts tend to be more exotic though, which is why the focus is on them. If somebody has a really cool critter, they can always suggest it.
Anyways, it looks like DA is a good option. I will set it up this weekend. Here are a few thoughts:
- Do we upload every version, or just the winner?
--- I am thinking of having an album for every creature, with the winner as the album cover and all other variations within. The description of the beastie will be in album description.
- Who will do the uploading?
--- I don't want to be the sole handler of this, in case I'm unavailable or anything else. My current thinking is to have some of you guys volunteer to co-manage the account with me. We could also make it open, with username/password available in the main thread
- If somebody chooses not to have their drawing up on DA, we could potentially provide a link from within the website
I haven't really used DA much outside of browsing for awesome art, so there will be a bit of learning. But it should be good.
Thanks to all of you for the thoughts and ideas :D

I'm just covering my bases due to DA users tend to be insane and really protective of their work on a flip of a coin then steal others art and claim it's theirs.Would everyone be okay with their drawings and renderings on DeviantArt?Uhh is there another option? I sense some issues of dumping peoples work onto DA where someone could flag some one's commission for ripping off their work due to copyrights and getting the whole thing taken down. I would suggest making a site for this.
I don't see how anyone could claim any of our works infringe on their copyright. We're doing it all ourselves through our own methods, and the subject matter is quite unique. Toady is the only one that would have an explicit copyright to DF-related works as far as I know. Is this a regular occurrence on Deviantart?
Personally I don't mind at all, even though my submissions are awful and few and far between. I do have a deviantart account, though.
due to chances of people dumping their work on DA before this thread does means someone who scour the site for copiers will put two and two together then blissfully ignore the description.
though can't one use the search option on this thread to filter out all posts but the art, that could work out as a pseudo gallery.

We should be okay. We have this forum with date stamps as a reference to avoid such issues. Besides, the exotic nature of Dwarf Fortress / Forgotten Beasts should give us plenty of a buffer. And lastly, I'll do my best to police things.

I could, but I am really more of the knife making kind of metal craft. I specialize in metallurgy, black smithing, and blade smithing. I don't really keep a lot of softer metals around that I could use for sculpture.

Diamond wolf (and any one else interested in a metal beast) if you use a eight to sixteen gauge steel plate (old shelving is nice) you could make a forgotten beastie lawn ornament, it's super easy if you have access to plasma, or pattern cutter, or even a torch if you have a steady hand. I made dozens of Pokemon that way XDI have a bit of experience in Deviant Art. However my expertise is actually in metal crafts more-so than in drawing.

I only have 4 actual submissions: the walrus, the giant two tailed shrimp with the flatulence problem, the long haired gecko with the deadly dust problem (dandruff), and enira deepdeath, the giant 3 eyed wasp with the translucent exoskeleton.
The names I can't really remember, because they make no rational sense with the creature in most cases, being RNG output.
The ugly thing with the bird head, the batwings, and the scorpion body was just a "for the hell of it" image, and is not an actual FB.

Good stuff. I find the actual organization a bit difficult to look at, and would like to help improve it. Are you using any scripting/databases to organize things, or is this all done by hand?Yeah, I'm a coder, not a designer :P. I'm using a MySQL database and PHP scripts for it. I'd be willing to hand out FTP access if you can work with PHP/HTML/CSS and you want to play with the interface.
My section needs some cleanup... a lot of them are work in progress (WIP) images, and others are just silly/just for fun without being contest entries.Thanks. I had a robot just grab all the images from the thread, so let me know if anything else is out of place. I removed the obvious WIP ones. Personally, I'm okay with just keeping semi-related illustrations in there even if they aren't of a beast that was part of the contest, but if you want me to remove any of the other ones, just let me know.

Awesome idea to make a tile-sized sprite for mucousdungs, and for a mite it still is of towering height.Spoiler: Tise Mucousdungs (click to show/hide)
Great pixelwork, and very creepy.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
haha! also, did he already lose his other hand in a similar incident?Spoiler (click to show/hide)
So a difficult choice indeed. I really like Wierds submission. Clearly a lot of work went into that, and its excellent pixel work. But because it's an original idea to actually make a tile set compatible graphic, and because its high quality sprite work I choose Wannabehero. Too bad graphics can't really be linked to specific forgotten beasts in game. Maybe this could be used by someone to mod in a giant mite creature?
Also, Wannabehero did not yet submit a suggestion for a FB. We'll need to wait until he does before we can start the next round.

I really wanted to do an overkill pixel work backdrop for said giant bug, but my employer has been utilizing 100% of my time lately with endless piles of work to get done. :(
(And believe it or not, Mucousdungs only took an hour to doodle in. Large creature sprites are a lot easier to make than quality 16x16 sprites. I agree with your choice, it's a fabulous tileset sprite.)
Post by: Ameablable on April 16, 2013, 02:42:44 pm
Large creature sprites are a lot easier to make than quality 16x16 sprites.really i never would guessed that. i suck at any form of pixeling.
the sprites i make/made for the games i made are either so basic they look like a 2 year old drew them
or i just drew them in photoshop or something then scale them to sprite size
ninjaedit: @Bralbaard yes thats what i was going for with his other hand :D

With a 16x16 sprite (8x16 sprite is worse!) Every last pixel counts. A single pixel out of place will look garish. A large creature sprite is far more forgiving.oooh that makes sense!
Oh and i never complimented your beast! It was really creepy and gothic looking; reminded me heavily of castlevania! I loved it.

On a semi-related thought, I have made a thread (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=125220.0) in the creative projects subforum, based on a personal larger scale project I want to undertake.
To make the most od things, in relation to the personal project, I will limit my submissions to 128x128 sprites, possibly with animations. If you want something specific as a sprite in that formfactor, drop a reply in that thread!

If you are searching for a beast, i posted some week ago (actually, it's the first drawing of this new post, made by Darkerdark, the March 25, 2013, 09:17:00 pm) a quite long story of an epic fight between an elf and a FB.just my personal opinion but i prefer something that hasnt already been drawn so perfectly.
It leaves more to the imagination rather then people trying to replicate the already amazing artwork.

Run winner elections again, and see who wins!
Most recent submission:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Something from the What's Going On In Your Fortress I have enjoyed:
A forgotten beast attacked Metalsnakes. Kor, the giant, winged ice humanoid. He had poisonous vapor, which turned out to merely dizzy it's victims and put them to sleep. Two ten-dwarf squads rushed the icy devil, and spent damn near a month periodically whacking away at it and napping in front of it. Luckily Kor was very fond of his vapor, electing not to punch or kick, but just exude free drugs for everyone until the soldiers eventually took him apart piece by piece. No deaths, only one dwarf suffered a head burn somehow.
Another one from the same source:
Guardedseal just got it's first Forgotten Beast. And it was a pretty badass one actually.
"The Forgotten Beast Tob Setnuushmal has come! A great hairy bristleworm. It has thin wings of stretched skin and it appears to be emaciated. It's jade hair is short and even. Beware its poisonous sting!"
It's sting wasn't very poisonous at all, however it happened to sting two of my civvies in the head, causing instant death. It then bit another one in the head. Dead.
At this point my military intercepted it and fought it for ages. Somehow it was able to wrestle my Macedwarf using it's wings, and it broke all his limbs (lol). Fortunately it took so long maiming the poor guy (killed him with a headbite in the end) that my more competent soldiers were able to maim it's internal organs and cut the wings and stinger off. Eventually they killed it, but it was by far the longest FB battle I've seen, the beast seemed to have never ending fat for the swords to slice through.
The huge corpse is being hauled slowly to the butcher now. Kind of wondering if that's a good or bad thing. Anyone want to eat hairy, poisonous worm meat for the next eight months? No? :D
--
Oh, and almost forgot, my militia captain named his Iron Sword afterwards and gave it quite possibly the most ridiculously cool name I've ever seen a weapon possess: "Moralrite the Turquoise Blizzard". A morally just blade that attacks with the ferocity of an icy storm. Win!
Another option, with a nice story that I have enjoyed (long):

I agree with Ameablable. DarkerDarker's submission is great (as always), but because it has been around for a while it will influence how future creatures will be drawn. I think we need something that can spark more imagination.

I am actually better at pixel art than sketching for most things; forgot about it though. I forgot all about drawing something, but I'll try and get something pixelly for the next fb once it is picked. What size is preferred for a "tileset" image, 18x18, 18x10, what?
Hm, if you're making tileset graphics, just make it compatible with DF sizes - which are fairly small. Honestly, I'd say any size works but I believe 16x16 is the standard for DF tilesets.

Also also: You know I'm going to go see if there's been any revification of that game with the elves now... [EDIT:] Well, I just caught up on the past few months of that, which turned out to be discussion of whether to continue or go do other things for the time being, settling on the latter. I am saddened but completely understand and hope I don't miss anything else DD winds up getting into... seems like the return to the FBAC is awesome at any rate!

Post by: Wannabehero on April 28, 2013, 12:11:57 am
Ameablable, Rumrusher, Aglathan, all of those entries are awesome. I'm going to pick Rumrusher, because of the unique concept in the forgotten beast hat.
Tough though. Obviously DD is just amazing (like, stupid amazing), and Ameablable's zombie-hog about to enjoy some elf soup is also great. Like DD said, your coloring is just fantastic Ameablable. I'm also quite partial to the almost Disneyesque quality of Aglathan's fuzzy cyclops-boar. It really was a tough choice.
Rumrusher is my pick for winner, because of concept and because I am a sucker for the pseudo-impressionistic painterly-like style of art.

Just to keep this thread up and running, does anyone want to take a guess at why the dust is so deadly? (Not counting the programming bug right now.)
My guess is that the dust is some sort of psionic medium, and the creature itself is psionic in nature.
If I had to guess the dust is highly concentrated caustic soda. How it causes the deaths would probably involve an ability to spray venom. While its size would make the venom itself somewhat impractical for small victims, when combined with the dust it would cause it to act in a hemolytic fashion. The flesh would instantly begin to dissolve and the blood vessels would become opened all along the body.

Also, because somehow I managed to continue the drawing in another window of MS Paint I thought it might be fun to add an early version when I had just did a basic cute one-eyed jumping spider before worrying about colour, branching antennae or visualizing lies.

Kyphis report on Shash paints a story of a reporter looking for shash, which kinda sums up the first half of what I had to do to find the spider.
Eric blank got the anatomy of Shash down, while showing Shash vainly attempt to carry a mushroom tree.
Ameablable shows the result of shash facing down a vampire* including the goddess of silence in the picture(Kyphis also threw in
out of all three I have to say...
cheesecake gets a honorable mention for drawing another Forgotten beast which fits the theme of misdirection for Shash.

In a wonderful coincidence, a forgotten best actually attacked my fortress last night. Less fortunately, it's just a giant three-eyed tick and pretty boring overall.
So instead, here's some manner of hideous garbage-creature from Legends!

I suppose I'll have to post a Forgotten Beast now, eh? Unfortunately, I'm won't be home until tomorrow to generate a world. Fortuitously, I have an FB sitting in my photobucket account; from the genesis mod. Well, two actually. I used one of them in the previous FB thread. This one though is very, very bizarre.

My take: A creature made of "transformation" doesn't actually have a body in the usual sense. Instead, it is an entity that only exists insofar as it can transform its surrounding environment. You can only witness the "effect" of the creature, never the creature itself.
Also I was like 5 minutes into this guy before remembering I'd rather eat chalk than try to draw scenery. So much fun.

It was fun to draw this one. Kinda NSFW for nudity.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I based the painting on its name, Minera the seduction of confusing. It's an organic mass capable of changing itself to a form that is appealing to the targeted prey. Its 'deadly dust' are pheromones with hallucinogenic and numbing properties, so when the prey gets attracted by the 'bait', he gets weak and disoriented thus it's easy for the beast to swallow and digest him whole. It then is able to mimic the victim's face and voice and use it to its advantage.
Associated with theft, indeed.

Minera seems like the Beast that goes around pretending to be Deities just to get sneak by peasants with no suspicion.
the Dust attack is really a smoke ball used to go into hiding quickly.
Though I wonder which mod the host was using since it might help set the theme of the beast we are drawing.

They're donkeys. Donkeys have been called asses for thousands of years. When you insult someone by calling them an ass, you are in fact calling them a donkey. The scientific name for donkeys, asinus, reflects this.
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ass
Quote
Noun
ass (plural asses)
1. Any of several species of horse-like animals, especially Equus africanus, often domesticated and used a beast of burden.
2. (slang) A stupid person.

hmm I kinda wonder if the material called TRANSFORMATION is like the other mod material syndromes and have a small shelf life? so Minera being made up of a short lived material that could boil away in room temperature means Minera would pretty much walk into a fort then explode and any one unlucky to stand next to her get a face full of Syndromes.
That sounds rather terrifying on its own.

DeKaFu entered strong with a very creative interpretation; a beast that inherently has no form but instead molds the environment into its physicality.
Then k33n threw in a total abberation of nature; this is essentialy Minera's Horror Form. It reminds us that sometimes, Forgotten beasts are meant to stay Forgotten.
I have no idea which is scarier, a Forgotten Beast that you had no idea you were standing beside this whole time and could maybe even use your dead buddies into its form, or an euclidean horror using its many naughty bits to try and kill you. It was a very very close one and if I can choose both of you as a winner I would, but I'd just get rocks thrown at me and booed off-stage.
So CONGRATULATIONS k33n! Since k33n follows the theme of 'seduction' in Minera's name, I used that as a tiebreaker.

Looks like that demon has more to her legends than what you show? Can we see the rest of it?
It is fantastically long and details her absolute conquest of the Elfen civilizations ( they have one isolated city left with a hundred or so individuals ) as well as making government titles for her humans before retreating into governance and writing such interestingly titled artifact books as: Hell: Further Musings, And She Sang "The Master!", Creation Explained, Victory by the People, Civilization: a New Approach, The Forest Retreat Exposed, The People: Principles and Practices, and Surely the Past Laughs - and many, many more.

Holy Carp, Going by the book titles it seems Queca was mistaken for an animalman by the elves during her early years(Talk about in 'Hell: Further Musings' and 'Creation Explained'), endure their misuse of nature for so long that she high tailed out of the place(The Forest Retreat Exposed) and raised a human army to drive the elves onto a reserve( Victory by the people,).Looks like that demon has more to her legends than what you show? Can we see the rest of it?

I guess if you're a giant lizard pretending to be a human deity, claiming to be a goddess of deformity would be a good place to start. Here's my rendition of Queca in full pretending-to-be-Gogol mode. The mask is there to hide her "deformity", and no mortal should peer beyond it. The skull because she's also a goddess of death.

Queca tale against the elves was past down generation of Generation until it got white wash in the 1902 by the Glitter kingdom to promote new kid toys that isn't a lizard in platemail.
How it started was from Queca after ascending from hell getting sick and tired of the whiny needs of the elves. Leaves to a hamlet then use her 'weather' abilities to help produce the best crop any one could buy, this allow her access to royal treatment and soon a commanding army to purge the whiny brats she worked for. She murder and razed so many elven retreats the human populace started calling her Gogol. Those who know her true name are apart of several familes she pick during her time of being 'The Master' to govern the states. you can read all this in her autobiography though doing so might grant you wicked plant powers.
Ether way, here's a picture of Queca leading a raid

Post by: DeKaFu on June 18, 2013, 03:14:02 pm
Going over the entries...
weq15 started things off with the most original interpretation (...is that a gopher tortoise with a communication antenna on its head?), and then Hugo_the_Dwarf followed it up with possibly the world's scariest ever rendition of a giant gopher. Ipunchfaces' entry was wonderfully presented and incorporated Usa's treacherous nature. Davie truly embraced the idea of something both fabulous and terrifying, and squiddwarf16 was the first to include both the gaunt and fluffy aspects of Usa's figure (and in such a fetching shade, too).
At the end of the day, the winner is...
Davie, for truly capturing both sides of Usa, with a creature that manages to be absolutely horrifying despite (or because of?) its ridiculous pink fluffy nature.
Congrats!
Lots of great stuff, and I look forward to seeing Mr. Space Cat's version later. :D

Unless we're the ones doing it wrong. Life, after all, is ephemeral. Cabinets are the only things that last, and should help us all realize our place in things - that even after we all are dead and gone, that cabinet we scratched our names onto as children will remain.

Or hold alt+printscreen at the same time to capture only the selected window, in your case the DF window.

Post by: wierd on June 28, 2013, 09:34:21 pm
Those are the ones still somewhat used today. (Stop motion and cardstock on the decline, but a few famous pieces are made using them. Things like Gumby and Fantastic Planet, respectively. Its good to broaden ones horizons when learning a new trade.)
Post by: Ameablable on June 28, 2013, 09:38:49 pm
Its what i used in my submission
Post by: wierd on June 28, 2013, 09:47:53 pm
If you enjoy your flash class, you should still look into the other animation styles. These days, the cardstock method is fairly easy to do, if you have scissors and a flatbed scanner. IIRC, it's how southpark was done in season 1. (Then they switched to flash.)
The cardstock is thick, so it doesn't bleed the light like typing paper.
Post by: Ameablable on June 28, 2013, 09:53:54 pm
Post by: wierd on June 28, 2013, 10:16:42 pm
(Just ignore the pro pot rhetoric from the uploader. Other than being surrealist animation, it has nothing to do whatsoever with drugs.)
They made it by creating large still images for the scenes, then layering various cardstock cutout art pieces on top, and snapping stills, then sewing them together to make the film. These days similar effects could be obtained using flash as the compositor, and high resolution scans of the cutouts against black paper, so they can be easily isolated and put into the scene.
If I were to use flash, it is probably the way I would end up having to use it, to leverage my pixel art talents.
Post by: Ameablable on June 28, 2013, 10:19:02 pm
Post by: wierd on June 28, 2013, 10:46:36 pm
In many ways, flash tries to do digitally what cell animation and cardstock animation used to do by hand, with nifty motion tools like tweened paths.
I only really brought up this animation style, because it can leverage oldschool pen and paper art, and can theoretically be done using layers in photoshop to place the assets, and then lotsof exports to make gifs. Flash would make it easier, because of tweened paths, but wouldn't be necessary. For people that do ink, all they really need is some cardstock from walmart, the flatbed they already have, and some patience. That means some of the other really talented people that play in here could have a crack at it too, and might enjoy doing so.
As I said, its always good to expand one's horizons.

It isn't the quality of the image, nor the art style used that is the primary criterion for winning. The submissions are viewed foremost on their creativity in depiction. Crayon art stands a perfectly good chance of winning, if it is original and whitty.
My submissions tend to be pixel art craziness, but rather blah in terms of originality, though there are a few exceptions. That's fine, I play just to play, and truth be told, would rather not win. (Because then I can't play the next round!)
Don't be shy, and just have fun! Crayon is perfectly acceptable. MSPaint is perfectly good too! (I do nearly all my submissions with it! Paint.net is just for transparent layering!) Pen, pencil-- doesn't matter!
One type I haven't seen is modern art cubism, or picasso style surrealism. Maybe I will try for that next time. ;)

He has a bit of a story involved: after arriving, he just ambled about beacuse I had the caverns closed off. I started getting messages saying "Sluste Slupigalel, Forgotten Beast is no longer enraged"; but he was offscreen at the time so I didn't know what was going on. Then one day I found that I could make a memorial slab for him (which, of course, I did). Turns out, as you can see, he was locked in year long combat with some reptile people, only managing to kill one before being unceremoniously slain with a fungiwood spear.

Congratulations Loam! I updated the OP with the new beastie!
Also...
These descriptions are often open to interpretation. Like how "monitor" actually refers to the monitor lizard, but is drawn as a computer monitor. If I could art I would draw it as a feathered alligator with a trunk (as in, the big sturdy box) filled with magical fire.
I really want to draw that now. I may give it a shot later today.

All in all, very good entries; the one that I was struck by most was DG's. I though it best interpreted both the appearance and the story of the beast (it didn't include the fire, however, but that is understandable given that the beast is dead). So, congratulations DG! You are the winner.

We ( the jury ) has originally envisioned a tie between the main contestants;
but after deliberation; while the concept of non-participation to a competition
is an original move and totally non-mainstream, it does not constitute alone a sufficient basis for qualification.
Following that, I am proud to announce that :
The winner is Slowpokez !
*clap, clap, clap* *clap, clap, clap*
More seriously, this is a finely-crafted participation.
But the lighting is odd on the dwarf.

Radavi is single-handedly responsible for deaths of about 50 dwarves and starting a cascade of events which killed over a half of a fort's population, formerly nearing 450.
Stasno didn't accomplish anything significant except for getting accidentally bisected.
Feel free to use or disregard.

Thread is just dead or i did something wrong? :U
Nope, all me here. I'm uh... not proud of it :P
Oh dear god that sounds badass. Sadly I have 0 drawing skill, so I can't really do much for contribution :'(
If you have an idea, draw it anyways! Drawing skill isn't all that relevant, it's the effort and the idea behind it :D
And Ameablable that thing is delightfully horrifying. Not something you want climbing up a well...

By the current 2-week time period, the deadline will be Wednesday, November 20th. Does that sound reasonable?

I like that one. While the monster isn't particularly detailed, that just leaves more to the imagination, and even if you just look at pure background and not the monster, it is especially good.I agree, it looks like a real sea monster that would strike fear into ANYTHINF. Look at the sheer size of it!

Why the hell not? One issue I could foresee is some beasts come with their own stories; but that shouldn't really be a problem. Go for it.
If it becomes a thing, a new thread might be great. But until then, it's still !!ART!!.

Spoiler: Somewhat NSFW? (click to show/hide)
I took some hints from the name: "gathre" means lightning (hence the lightning) and "firstsinge" suggested fire (which, you might see, there is a little flame/lotus between her hands). Obviously the aesthetic is taken from Hindu art, so I'll feel very embarrassed if Gathre turns out to be from a human civ more closely resembling Scandinavia or something...
She dances atop the Cademoku (Blood Moon), swinging the twin blades Urathil (Death Sword, the bloody one) and Apukushav (Conqueror Blade, being struck by lightning) above armies in battle: Urathil brings defeat, Apukushav brings victory. In her hands is the Testri Monusmok (Flower of Holy Fire), whose divine rays inspire valiant deeds in warriors and great songs of battle in poets. The "chaos" aspect isn't well symbolized, but I treated it as a "fickle Fortune" kind of chaos: Gathre doesn't choose who wins and loses the battle, she just swings the swords randomly.

Anyways, I can give people a shot at it ' ___ (I forget the name) was a towering theropod with two stubby horns. Beware its webs!'

Post by: TD1 on December 07, 2013, 09:52:46 am
I’m here at night.
The dark hours are the worst; the monsters cover the mountain range like a blanket of night. But nonetheless, I am here. I am here, and my task will be finished. I swear it on my honour, my sword…my life. I only wish my friends could be here…But that is unimportant. I stare at the great gaping hole torn into the cliff face in front of me; feel the putrid wind which whistles its way past me on my face. It almost looks like a gruesome mouth, inhaling everything in the world, sucking all light in.
To get here I had to do battle with all manner of creatures. The she-demons of the river lands felt my blade and fled in terror. The Wyrrms of the magma fields flew before my wrath and the trolls of the mountain-passes learned their skin was not as hard as they had once thought. And here I am, staring at a hole in the ground. Scared. I curse my cowardice and, taking a deep breath of the sulphurous air, step beneath the clinging stalactites of the cave.
The torch which I found near the entrance splutters, momentarily throwing shadows across my path. The tunnel is leveling out after its steep downwards turn, finally halting my staggering, stumbling descent. I have found no beasts so far. A bad sign. Most stay near the entrances, waiting for prey…only the more powerful stay deep, have their prey brought to them. A very bad sign. I come to a roughly-hewn arch. The walls around me seem less natural, more carved. The knolls on the rock look like screaming faces, twisted in agony and fear. I tear my eyes from them and keep going. That has been my mantra for days now. Keep going, keep searching. You’ll find her.
Suddenly my foot-falls reverberate back to me and I’m spat into a dank sphere, a bubble of darkness trapped beneath the skin of the earth. Each step I take scrapes over twigs and bones. Bones of rats, of birds. Bones of Elves, of Dragons, of Humans and Dwarves. Bones which I don’t even know the name for, let alone the animal they belong to. My blood runs cold, and in opposition of its ice my anger rises like a flaming brand. The beast that did this killed many. Much blood is on its hands. I draw my blade, a thin sliver of silver light gleaming red in my torches illumination. What it doesn’t know is that much blood is on mine, too.
A thin rattling sound echoes strangely in the room, and a dark shape slowly drops from the ceiling, unwinding from a stalagmite that almost touches the ground. I don’t look up, I don’t move. I know that it thinks it is surprising me, and to show otherwise would spell my death. My breath rasps loudly and my sword arm trembles oh-so slightly, but I stand my ground. I stand it for her, for Kara.
It comes into the edge of my vision, a bag of pulsing flesh. Quick as a bolt of lightning, I strike, blade flying straight and true. The edge catches on flesh, judders, and glides on. The beast cries out in an unintelligible language, roaring and shouting. A spray of black blood strikes the walls, hits my buckskin shoes. A wing the shade of the blackest pits of doom falls to the ground, and lies there as a crumpled mass. A second later, the being itself follows suit, fall cushioned by its own shredded flesh. I walk forward and wipe my blade on its heaving skin.
My sword back in its sheath, I lean over the thing. Its face is hidden in the fold of a wing, its only wing, now. Shaped like a slim human, figure seductive and inviting, the beast looks more like a woman than most dwarven or human girls I have met. Shapely and sumptuous, curves running down the naked body ensnare my gaze and heat my face…My eyes follow her figure until they reach the bloody wound hacked into her back. There, they jerk away; I feel sad to have caused such pain to such beauty. But then I see the remaining wing, see the hooks spearing outwards from a joint, and I push down my lust. I focus on that wing as I lean over, gently turning her over. Her skin feels cool, comfortably so after the oppressive heat in the tunnel. She feels slightly waxy, almost like a doll. Damn, how much I wish I hadn’t hurt her! She rolls over, and I see the face.
Pain
Surging through me, pain. It is Kara. My love, my wife; Stolen from me by a hunting party of the demons of the Peaks of Midnight, she must have been Turned. My stomach heaves as I remember the process which all who are Turned go through, the way she earned those wings. My heart splits and, withering, dies. She is gone. None who are Turned can be saved. I raise my blade, look at her face, so peaceful, so sweet. I look at her shapely lips, how they turn down at the sides. Her mouth is stained red; a recent kill. With a cry of despair, I plunge my sword through the husk of my wife, and with that stroke end her.
Sobbing inconsolably, I leave the blade sticking out of the beast; the one the Necromancer had said would know where my wife was. Anger blossoms deep inside me and once again strives against the ice. This time, the ice wins. Shaking, crying, I stay in a huddle for many hours.
Though I didn’t know, and wouldn’t have cared if I had, it was the break of day when I finally stood up, wiping tears from my eyes. I know what I am to do. The ice in me has become a part of me, and I will use it against the beasts that did this. I calmly take the sword from my wife’s body, wipe it clean and re-sheath it. The monsters of the Peaks of Midnight will know my name; their very existence will be filled with fear of it. My wife will be avenged. With a new purpose, I leave the darkness of the earth and step into the light of day.

The sky is filled with dark clouds, ever so rumbling with the close sound of thunder. Rain pours down hard on my ragged chestplate, dripping with enough force to pin a small animal to the ground. Lightning strikes a tree in the distance and I see its fiery blaze quickly put down by the relentless strength of the murky rain. I sit atop my prey. Bodies of elves, kobolds, orcs, dwarves and even humans, all quietly and eerily watching with an open mouth and wide eyes. Drinking down the last remainder of what had been a bottle of wine, I jump off that ruined pile of corpses and hop onto the ground with a clank that was deafened by the raging onpour.
In front of me stands my next challenger. Another human. This one heavily armored by the looks of it. Bad choice in this weather, even though I'm not one to speak. He takes a step forward, slowly starting to run and shouts a cry of revenge. One of these dead was probably a relative or a friend of his. I ready my blade, straighten my body and calm my breathing, entering a state of calm and brace for the foe running.
He was but a few meters away from me when lightning struck behind him and a fearsome creature stepped out of the resulting shadow flash. There it stood. A horror mounted with three eyes and wings. Body made of wax glittering as rain graced its so-called skin. The charging warrior started turning around to see what had happened, but he did not expect the next moment. His legs gave in and he immediately fell prey to the shadows, disappearing almost as quickly as the creature revealed itself.
A new foe, a worthy foe, a frightful foe, had shown itself. I grin at the feeling of joy of finding somebody worth my time. I turn my head around cautiously and observe the shadows with my trained eyes, waiting for a time when this beast shows itself. Wait I did, but it did not come again. Disappointed I returned to my pile of bodies, sat atop one and started opening the next bottle of brandy, hoping to drown myself.
A new flash of lightning strikes exactly at the center of the bodies and sends me sprawling on the ground in front of me, bottle broken in my right hand and pieces of glass penetrating my gloves but not yet reaching skin. Quickly I try to get on my feet to react at what had happened but I was too late. Already there was something on my back, giving such hideous sounds that would leave a man bleeding from the ears. Thankfully, I knew its exact position and quickly get a dagger from one of my leather boots and stab my back with all due haste.
The Dagger pierced true. The foul beast had felt that and retreated in the shadows, giving me enough time to get my wits about myself. I take position of defense next to the pile of refuse, wary of the creature not leaping again from it and ready my blade a second time. It was hard to see in the rain and all that alcohol during the past few hours left me feeling dizzy. This was not the right time to fight, but fight and survive I will.
Something moves in the shadows; I turn and watch. I hear something behind me; I turn and observe. I see the creature leaping behind a tree and move in anticipation from an attack from a tree. After all, it was but one tree, even if rather big. I would notice if the horror decided to move again and then it is when I would strike. I move slowly to the tree and then quickly go around it and attack falsely, for what I hit was air which smelt of plants. The surprise on my face was obvious. I had been fooled totally.
It was in that moment that something came behind me and spat a growl. I slowly turned around and fear enveloped me. The monstrosity was airborne! Too close it was for me to dodge and it struck at me with one of the spikes in it's wings. Right in the abdomen it did and ripped the area around there until my armor allowed it no further movement. Then it retreated into the shadows once more and left me bleeding in while I reared up to rest on the trunk of the oaken tree.
Is this truly the end for good 'ol Urist? I suppose it is, haha. It was a good life, filled with many experiences and joy. I look at my left hand for one last time, sword in the other and notice the remains of the bottle. If I wasn't feeling drunk, I'd say that they were bigger than they appeared to be. Maybe they even managed to pierce the skin. The beast shows itself, this time directly in front of me. I could feel its foul breath on my face, stinking as it was. I have neither the strength nor will to fight anymore. I can't even lift my sword, let alone strike the beast. It puts its warped hands on my face and once again looks me with those three eyes of its, curved in a gleeful manner that was only matched by its wicked smile. It finally decides that it spent enough time fooling around with me and decided to start enjoying its meal. Silently it opens its mouth, revealing accursed dagger-like teeth, looks at me with those eyes, smiles and plunges for my throat. I close my eyes and hope that it's a quick and painless death. What I found happened next was not what I expected. After a few moments I opened my eyes and saw the beast's eyes wide and a dagger sticking from it's throat and middle eye.
From the side shows up a six foot tall man with long deep red hair and pushes the body to the side with his legs gracefully, careful not to take any of the wax onto his shoes. He kneels down next to me and checks my wounds.
"Thanks for that. I never would've made it if it wasn't for you. You have my eternal gratitude. Say, what's your name?" I ask him with a ragged breath and sincere gratefulness showing in my words.
The man smiles at me and answers with a controlled and kind voice.
"A name you say? I have many of them. Some call me milord, others the Crimson Deceiver, but you my friend, can call me Aurel."
My eyes go wide at the mention of the second name and I try to force a scream, which is left deafened by the harsh reality of the rain. A dagger splits my throat and eternal darkness embraces me.

The whole creature made me think of melting candles, so I drew the whole thing as a sort of blob of extinguished candles, wax, and limbs melting down her body. Also, the third eye if running down her cheek, and her hands are supposed to resemble candles to some extent.

Run and hide from the towering Forgotten Beast? No! We are Dwarves! And that means killing it. Painfully. Then perhaps taking the stinger and using it as a sword. Why? Because we can.

Also, why exactly are we scared of it? If it was a web-spitting winged three-eyed octopus covered in grey feathers, now that would be scary, but an insect isn't really the height of pants-shitting, fight-or-flight instinct-class scariness.

Yes, but for something to be scary, it has to create an emotional "I'm scared" reaction, and it's safe to say that I am not scared of them (big bugs are less scary than small ones to me).If I saw a giant scorpion fly (I knew them as scorpion wasps) I would crap my pants and go kill myself... I'm THAT horrified of them

Well imagine this your in a dark cave and all you hear is a buzzing of wings in the caverns that keeps echoing, then you see two purple lights shining out like flashlights. You go towards the light hoping for gems or something special but then you feel a sharp pain in you side. Unknown to you you slowly becoming paralyze in till your fully paralyze, but then the lights look at you just shining on your flesh. Slowly something comes into a view a brownish black stinger, hoping that it will leave you alone it spits something out of its tail onto you stomach. Its smiley and greenish or purple, you don't even know what color everything is purple because of the lights then you feel some thing hard grabbing your legs and pulling you into the dark. the end

I'm honoured to have won the last round!
But
I am deeply sorry for the delay I might have caused.
I started a fort to post a new fortgotten beast, just like CD explained.
Didn't go so well, whole fort got slaughtered in a goblin siege before I could get my first beast.
Had to start again, this time with a vengeance, just so I could finally get a beast and, while I was at it, defeat the rival goblin nation. Well, what can I say? The caverns were terribly deep and when I got my first beast, I didn't technically get it... I had it in my unit screen, I got messages that it was enraged and I found out that it was deceased shortly after, but no way to locate the corpse.
Turned out it died somewhere fighting serpent men and got killed while doing so. Still haven't found the damn thing and no sign of another beast yet, but countless dead goblins and more in the making. So woohoo!

Looked it up on legends, am a bit sad I missed it.
So have at it and I will declare a winner next monday. (or are we doing votes?)
Is it possible I messed up my settings to have too high of qualifications for beasts to attack? My wealth is 5mio or something.
And slowpokez: You really outdid yourself there. It's great too see you're improving so tremendously! :)

Still no one at the artifact thread?You got your mask. Well, one entry anyway. :) Will throw in a chocolate spider on this end when I find me a better eraser.
Maybe take "contest" out of the thread titles? Are the self-declared non-artists holding back because of the connotation of evaluation and bad memories of high school art presentations? It's more important to have more entries. People should choose "winners" not for traditional technical merit, but for evidence of great dwarfiness in the mind of the creator. The contest bit is mostly there to keep the thread focused.
So let's go peeps! Join in! The more the merrier! Practise makes perfect! Nothing ventured, nothing gained! Et cetera!

Spoiler: Beware its poisonous bite! (click to show/hide)
Boarbusted was unable to see it at first. He was looking down, between great pillars of muddied stone, where he knew that the tarantula's lair must be. Two of his fellows were already down there, pikes in hand. There was something... off, though. He'd heard tales of Rubal. They said that its name was from the hollow sacs of skin that were left of its victims, and that its mere presence filled the mind with negative thoughts. He didn't think that it would happen from this far away, though.
Slowly, ever so slowly, the great pillars of rock undulated once and then stood still once more.
The two serpent men, far below, moved nervously. And then one of them saw it.
The gentle movement of a massive fang was the first thing that gave it away. A few digestive acids were flicked off of the tip, scarring the land where it touched. Rubal stood, feeling the air with the two arm-like limbs on the front of its body, and then made up its mind.
One lizard man had dropped his weapon, gawking up at the beast above. The other had enough sense to flee for his life. Neither was going to live.
A sudden movement, and an impossibly large fang touched the ground. On the tip, a writhing serpent man had been speared. Boarbusted nearly threw up as he saw the slow inflation as the acids entered the body, and the corpse was starting to drip from the eyes before it suddenly and rapidly deflated as Rubal drained it dry. It flicked its fang, and the pile of half-digested tissues fell to the ground. It felt the air again, and massive footsteps wracked the landscape as it homed in on its catch. It moved effortlessly despite its great size, like a thundercloud dragging eight great pillars alongside it. It stopped, and once more, it speared the serpent man in a single movement. The second one died in agony, as had the first. The skin deflated once more, and Rubal flicked the leftovers into the air where they tumbled down the slope of one of the many great pillars that dotted the landscape.
Boarbusted gulped.
And charged.

So, it's been almost a month since Rubal was posted. Will a winner be picked soon? I'm hoping for a new beasty to try out my fledgling pixel art "skills" with.I could give a beastie that would give the artists and writers sometihng to do while we wait. I don't think a winner would need to be chosen for it.

I don't think a winner would need to be chosen for it.I think the art of Rúbal is all so good, that the votes would probably result in a tie. Anyway, I might try my hand at this one. I practiced making a 16x16 image of the spider and kept getting difficulties with the leg placement, so this should be a bit easier for me.

you all did such a great job that it's hard for me to single out any single one of them
but sadly I have to
Just for technique and general execution defero and slowpokez are by far the leading artists
but I guess they already know that. unfortunately this contest is also about creativity ,)
and that's why eotyrannus wins this round
congratulations!
also everyone keep their pencil sketches coming, no matter how shit you think they are
we want to see them. we crave them.

For your new forgotten beast, I present to you...
ANGZAK WEBBAD THE FOGGY HELL
Angzak Webbad the Foggy Hell was a forgotten beast. It was the only one of its kind. An enormous hairy ankylosaurid. It has two long, hanging tails and it belches and croaks. Its charcoal hair is unkempt. Beware its fire! Angzak was associated with theft and caverns.

I got him from Legends. Forgot what the other contender was, but two-tailed ankylosaur was too awesome to pass up.Excellent. That means I have full creative license:
Heat.
Black grass. Baked mud. Burnt smell, Udib's overdone roasts. Patch of plump helmets, withered, crunch crunch, mushrooms don't crunch. Dwarven wine, drink, wet, water, no water, thirsty, dry, heat.
Red light in the north, campfire? Warm, peaceful, laughter. Friends.
Black bones. Friends.
Burnt smell.
Nausea.
Vomit. Udib's overdone roasts and dwarven wine. Thirsty. Dry.
Heat.
No, I'm fine, just the smell. And everything. Thanks. What's this? Weapons, steel, survived the heat, go up to the barracks. Weapons needed, anything we can scrounge up. Anyone we can scrounge up, soldiers needed, draft. Drafty, breeze in the caverns, hot air and cool air, fire and water. Steam. Hot baths. Warm, peaceful, soap, cleansing, dirt, mud, baked mud, black grass, black everywhere, walls, floor, ceiling, hands, faces, soot, ash, embers, heat.
Heat, ash, fire. Ash logs on the hall fire. The hall, granite pillars carved with eternal faces of stone, friendly faces at the table, Udib's overdone roasts the topic of conversation, of laughter. Udib laughs as well. He has a friendly face as well. Behind him a granite pillar carved with eternal battle. Mosus and the Dragon. Mosus behind his shield, spear outstretched, cuts the Dragon under the scale, black blood pours thick. Spear. Weapons. Weapons needed, to the barracks.
Thunder? Here? No. Cave-in. Dust everywhere, everything covered in white dust, snow, winter, cold. Hot drinks, hot meals, hot fire, comfort. No comfort here, just bones, bones and heat.
Cave-in blocks the stairs? Trapped? No, the garbage dump is still open, to the north. Take the weapons to the north. To the barracks.
Dragons don't live underground. What...?
Everyone stays behind to pick through the rubble, try to unblock the stairs. I go north. North, south, Ironhelm in the south, mountainhome, migrants. Seven years old. Mother and father and brother and milk cow. First time I saw the sun. My eyes couldn't stay open, bright, heat, holy heat, holy bright. Eye of the Lord. Why do we hide from the Lord, father? He is too beautiful to behold.
Father dead. Mother old. Brother, in the military, sixteen. In the barracks. To the barracks.
Red light, brighter. Closer? Warmer. Heat, but no burnt smell. The burnt smell is behind, the black bones are behind. Just warmth, nearness. Warmth of bodies, nearness of bodies, embrace, lips, soft hands, soft face. Warm face. Warm smile, warm laugh. Soft eyes. Warm eyes. Sometimes hot eyes. I had hot eyes too. Our eyes together, our I's together.
Warm eyes. Warm bed. Secret warmth, the fire must be kept low or the enemy will see us. She laughs. Warm kiss. Warm eyes.
Why do we hide from the Lord, he is too beautiful to behold. Too beautiful to hold.
Heat. Closer? Closer. Here. Bright. Eyes? Bright eyes. Warm eyes. The sun? Too beautiful to behold.
Warmth. Heat. Numb. Black.

Esnust Buriedmines the Abyssal Echoes was a Forgotten beast. It was the only one of its kind. An great pterosaur composed of steel. It has a gaunt appearance and its eyes glow golden yellow. Beware its deadly dust! Esnust was associated with murder, blight, and caverns.
In a time before time, Esnust began wandering the depths of the world.
Omitted are several pages of its brutally murdering everything in and around my fortress.
Deadly dust was putting things mildly; anyone caught in it pretty much instantly rotted away to nothingness and bled out, and it was more or less immune to everything my dwarves could throw at it by virtue of it being made of steel, up to including the magma from the pump stack it breached, which subsequently flowed down into the depths of my fortress and cooked the unfortunate and smiths below feverishly working to arm the militia with adamantine weapons, reputably (according to the wiki) the only non-cheese way of harming a steel FB. It then proceeded to kill more than a hundred dwarves (including the entirety of my 40 dwarf strong militia), domestic animals, and an entire goblin ambush party without even a scratch, leaving a handful of dwarves who walled themselves into the tree farm, and a few who it just wasn't chasing for some reason.
Reading the wiki, this is pretty much a perfect storm of an FB; steel is the strongest material they can be made of, it has the "nearly instant horrific death" kind of syndrome dust, and is a flyer to boot.

this is modified from Hideo Komatsu's Panda, whose homepage I cannot find... so: (c) of the Panda is Hideo Komatsu, published in "Works of Hideo Komatsu", Origami Plans (2012)
E-Dit... For those interested: I grafted a strip of paper on two adjacent sides so that it has the 1/3 width of the lower head portion (get the book and look at the crease pattern). The strips meet at the point that forms the snout in the original. Thinking more about it: the grafting will ruin some of the colour changes at the head.. I guess I should also use the paper more wisely or use a second graft to 1) make it easier to free the paper and 2) have some material to create horns or somesuch with.
If you are interested (and not a beginner) in Origami, get this book, it is really great. On designing / modifying models, Robert Lang's "Origami Design Secrets" is worth reading.

So I have no drawing talent whatsoever, but I recently encountered what might be the most brutal FB possible for the game to generate, and given that it slaughtered my entire fortress, I feel like I have to share this one...
Esnust Buriedmines the Abyssal Echoes was a Forgotten beast. It was the only one of its kind. An great pterosaur composed of steel. It has a gaunt appearance and its eyes glow golden yellow. Beware its deadly dust! Esnust was associated with murder, blight, and caverns.
In a time before time, Esnust began wandering the depths of the world.
Omitted are several pages of its brutally murdering everything in and around my fortress.
Deadly dust was putting things mildly; anyone caught in it pretty much instantly rotted away to nothingness and bled out, and it was more or less immune to everything my dwarves could throw at it by virtue of it being made of steel, up to including the magma from the pump stack it breached, which subsequently flowed down into the depths of my fortress and cooked the unfortunate and smiths below feverishly working to arm the militia with adamantine weapons, reputably (according to the wiki) the only non-cheese way of harming a steel FB. It then proceeded to kill more than a hundred dwarves (including the entirety of my 40 dwarf strong militia), domestic animals, and an entire goblin ambush party without even a scratch, leaving a handful of dwarves who walled themselves into the tree farm, and a few who it just wasn't chasing for some reason.
Reading the wiki, this is pretty much a perfect storm of an FB; steel is the strongest material they can be made of, it has the "nearly instant horrific death" kind of syndrome dust, and is a flyer to boot.
THREAD NECROMANCY!
(In training this week, have some time to doodle)
This particular FB sounds an aweful lot like mecha-ridley from metroid.

I will try to do something for it... but I cant guarantee that it wont have extreme metroid bias.

Huge scorpion that flies and has almost impenetrable skin, not to mention a poisonous sting? Sure, there are syndrome-inducing beasts that kill by the dozen, yet still aren't horrifying if they're just a snowman that dies upon being hit by a fluffy wambler.

Em, sure it is.Yeah, but that involves a fluffy wambler. They're more deadly than carp, remember?

Not that horrifying.
I was thinking more along the lines of what would scare you shitless if you saw it irl, not what would scare you in the game. (Though a gemstone flier is plenty dangerous.)

Its got smudge and blur function and lots of other nifty stuff that Paint.net doesn't have.. I'm a terrible digital artist but I've made some pretty nice deep-space pictures with it.. Not sure if there aren't better free programs out there, but I got used to Dogwaffle ages ago, not to mention its called Dogwaffle ;)

Sadly, not as much as I would like. I've been trying to improve recently and I think I'm getting the hang of it though. My recent paintings are way better then they were a month ago.
Also, I wasn't creatively satisfied with just the last one, so I made this since then. Behold Ngethac Bobeac:

Yep, could've been better with colours but I'm trying to learn inking (slowly). The shell got little wonky as I used too thick line first instead of fine point. Love your stuff diamondwolf! What software did you use?
I use Photoshop with a custom brush collection.

I was going to post Aru today, but tinypics Guru is Meditating (lol'd at that, what a throwback to old Amiga days). What lightweight pic hosting site do you use aside from tinypic?
I use imgur on occasion. Normally I just use my deviantart gallery (for decent stuff) and my deviantart scrap folder (for less decent stuff).

imgur is the image hosting side these days. Decent to use and I'm certain the pics will stay up for a long time if you use them (because they are such a huge site).

Kind of a free for all. Perhaps we should just declare a winner from the last month or two and make them pick a beast.
I'd go for diamondwolf, but perhaps anyone who drew something should post.
I apologize for not seeing this post. I have been busy and haven't checked since about late April. I would pick a beast, but I don't actually have DF installed right now. I've just been coming here and checking to see if anyone has posted a creature I cared to render. So for now, I would just say for anyone to post something they think needs drawn and let the community draw them as desired.
