And the golden rule:
You're on the internet. Look it up.
I'll start us off with one of my favorites.
"Aril was a forgotten beast. It was the only one of it's kind. A towering skinless cobra. It has wings and it has a gaunt appearance. Beware it's poisonous bite. Aril was associated with water, jealousy, and caverns."

My attempt at Aril:

Not exactly skinless, but it evokes the description, I think.

One of the great things of DF is how the ascii art and descriptions allow you to use your own imagination for what things look like.
This is my version of Aril:

If so:
Galka was a forgotten beast. It was the only one of its kind. A towering, eyeless kite. It has a fat, bulging trunk and it belches and croaks. Its slate gray feathers are long and sparse. Beware its poisonous vapors! Galka is associated with torture and caverns.
Just so folks don't get confused, a kite is a bird of prey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kite_(bird)). ;)
Edit: Forgot to mention, I liked your picture Bralbaard. I couldn't think of how a cobra could look gaunt, but you somehow managed it!

Do you have a digital camera? Try to put the picture somewhere with favourable light, and photograph it. Not as good as a scan, but at least you can get it online.
that might work. I unfortunately don't want to draw an eyeless kite though. someone should post a new forbidden beast.

It was also covered in frozen forgotten beast extract, so I can assume it enountered another forgotten beast (let's assume a towering quadruped composed of ice) so metaphorical bonus points for drawing it striking down it's rival.

I didn't think it would show stuff on the other side of the page so I took a used paper.
Tip: put a piece of black cardboard behind the paper when scanning. It keeps the stuff on the other side from showing through. Or, if you don't happen to have any, try just leaving the scanner lid open.
Also, there's something funny with your scanner settings: your picture only has 7 distinct colors. Try setting it to full color mode or something.

I felt like making it only scan the 256 shades of gray. I just felt weird like that.

Well if it defaults to draw because of the creator of this topic not choosing a winner then why would you think he is going to come back? But no I don't have any better ideas. Actually I have one but I'll wait with it for another day or two.
I think it is the guy who posted the FB that picks the winner, not the OP... ? The person who posted the beakless woodpecker could pick a winner, if not then the OP could do it.

For now we'll be drawing Ceti Unoafaqua.
"Ceti The Ungodly Terror was a forgotten beast. It was the only one of it's kind. A towering three eyed theropod. It has large mandibles and it has a gaunt appearance. It's ecru feathers are patchy. Beware it's poisonous gas! Ceti was associated with treachery and caverns."
I have a good feeling about this one.

Theropod: A bi-pedal (it walks on two legs) dinosaur and their decedents (modern birds)
Mandible: Wikipedia says it is the the lower jaw, but I've always associated it with the the weird 4 jaw thingy that DD's Ceti has.
Gaunt: Thin, bony, barren, or bleak. In this case, it's probably thin and bony.
Ecru: A tan-ish gray-ish color. Here's the Wikipedia page on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecru (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecru)

I had to look half of them up as well, so can you.
Gaunt was especially challenging, I found over 20 meanings of the word.

Post by: NotPete on March 08, 2011, 12:51:28 pm
A lower jaw? Then... large lower jaws? It's plural...I just did a search for mandibles on google and got a bunch of pictures of bug mouths, while just searching mandible gets the lower jaw. Its probably just the moving parts of a mouth then, so Ceti's mouth would have multiple moving jaws like a bug's or like in DD's picture, how it has 4 jaws.
BTW I noticed that the letters on the posts on DD's Ceti picture are c, e and t. Maybe there is am i down there and it makes Ceti.
Huh, I just looked at it, and there does seem to be a C, E, and T in there.

Due to my not so good English skills and the dictionary not helping I must ask for the definitions of the following words: towering, theropod, mandible, gaunt, ecru.
I had to google some of those words myself (theropod and ecru I had no idea)
towering= Very tall
theropod= a type of dinosaur (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theropoda)
mandible= Jaw bone
gaunt= skinny, thin, emaciated
ecru= a shade of brown (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Shades_of_brown)

The engravings really make that drawing, don't they?
(They almost have a "Blade Runner" feel to them)
Due to my not so good English skills and the dictionary not helping I must ask for the definitions of the following words: towering, theropod, mandible, gaunt, ecru.
Re the definitions:
towering= Super tall
theropod= two-legged dinosaurs and their descendants. From T-Rexes to T-urkeys.
mandible= Jaw bone, but also, and more likely in this case, the odd pincer-ey things that spiders and bugs have for mouthparts.
(though I do like DarkerDark's interpretation - I'd call those mandibles. That or "head-chompers")
gaunt= Skinny. Really damn skinny. In a creepy way. Skinny as to have bones showing through skin.
ecru= yeah, I had to google it.
Post by: DarkerDark on March 08, 2011, 03:57:57 pm
I give up! I try drawing but whenever I look back at DD's picture, mine is just horribly ugly. I should try playing some DF and draw simpler stuff.
I noticed that no drawing has shown any signs of the poisonous gas yet.
Whenever I have problems with a drawing I tend to try to add a bit of humor in there. People tend to appreciate a funny picture more than a well drawn one. :)
Oh and DD, may I ask where did you learn drawing? School? Went somewhere to separately learn it? Learned from the internet? Just developed over time?
It just developed over time.
Whoo, first! ;)

It looks like Ceti stubbed his toe on one of the trees and is yelling "F**********CK!"
Probably not the impression you were trying to give, Siquo, but it still made my day. :D

Though it looks like the Dwarf is concerned for his fellow miner, in the world of Dwarf Fortress he's probably saying "Get out o' the way, ye donkey! Can't ye see that -bronze pick- needs returnin' to the stockpile?!"

Yes, by eating the dwarves, because the blood alchohol concentration of dwarves is at least 0.9999. So, eating one dwarf is like drinking an entire barrel of booze.

Assuming Dark is around to pick the next beast, I think that would be more appropriate, I just worry that voting on beasts will slow down the process. [whiny voice] I want to draaaaaw more. [/whiny voice] that's my two cents.

Ome the Funeral of Murk was a forgotten beast. It was the only one of its kind. A towering three-eyed lizard. It has three narrow tails and it squirms and fidgets. Its pale taupe scales are small and close set. Beware its deadly dust! Ome was associated with suicide and caverns.

"Lizard" wasn't very descriptive, so I went with the Komodo dragon as a model.
It's worth nothing that a komodo dragon forgotten beast would be called a 'monitor' in game since it is a kind of monitor lizard.
Edit: 'chameleon' is also a type distinct from 'lizard' for Demons/Forgotten Beasts.

Atu Shaftdepth the Deep Echo was a forgotten beast. It was the only one of its kind. A huge, eyeless vulture. It has four long, spiral horns and it appears to be emaciated. Its cobalt feathers are long and broad. Beware its deadly dust! Atu was associated with murder and caverns.

I'm afraid that if you want to post a forgotten beast, you have to enter and win the contest. People have posted FBs without regard to the rules before, it didn't end well.
If anyone wants to draw this one, that's okay, but it won't be elligible for the contest.

Sedme "Sedme"
Sedme was a forgotten beast. It was the only one of it's kind. An enormous porcupine with external ribs. It has a fat, bulging trunk and it is ravening. It's brown hair is long and straight. beware it's hunger for warm blood! Sedme was associated with water, torture, and caverns

Honestly? Rhesus' looks a lot more glassy than ottott's..Don't compare my drawings. I know mine looks like a flat piece of papers glued together.
Well mine definitely doesn't look like glass.I think yours is the glassiest one yet. Maybe making it semi-transparent would make it look like glass? I don't know anymore.
And I totally thought Rhesus' looked like blown glass.
And apparently my opinion isn't shared. Just don't listen to it then, K? =)
Oh and it seems that drawings with surroundings, other then just the FB, look better. I'll try that later!

Think about it, how many dwarves in a given fortress are even clothed? This one was probably hastily drafted in the military, and nobody took the time to assign him a uniform. That, or he's wearing dwarf leather.

He's holding the torch in front of himself, but he's looking around for the forgotten beast. he obviously heard a noise, then turned his head to investigate.The thumb is on the correct side... Arm is still bent funnily but I'm going with this explanation for now.

Real pencil drawing? That takes skills you cant learn online...
You won't magically learn it in a day or two, but there's definitely a lot of good advice and tutorials on the internet, it still takes a lot of practice to learn though.
typing "pencil drawing tutorial" or something similar in google should get you started.

"Utesh was a forgotten beast. It was the only one of it's kind. A gigantic scaly skunk. It has an enourmous shell and a bloated body. Beware it's poisonous sting! Utesh was associated with water, disease, and caverns."

I'm pretty sure it's because no one wants to draw a skunk with a stinger.

My camera requires software to work with on my comp, and I've misplaced the disk. *sigh*
No worries. I'll be putting it up, but I have to restart the computer it looks like. I avoid that as much as I can, as it takes the better part of an hour for this dinosaur to shut down then start back up again.
Of course, then I'll have to run it through photoshop... So I think I'll put up two pics, one colored, one... not.

Paint the nice image, and the mutalatid sheep image, and put the horribly one on a large peice of wallpaper, and the paper over it and paint the nice sheep one on top. That way if the child ever gets feeling like he should destroy something and he pulls down the wallpaper, he reveals this horrifying image, thus punishing him for destroying the wallpaper instantly.PERFECT!

I kind of thought of the bulbous shell as more of a layer of knobby rock covering parts of it's torso. That's my least favorite part of it right now, but I'm not sure how to improve it.

After that, it was merely using GIMP with normal fuzzy paint brush and smudge for the flames and bat. The background was made by first making a sort of grayscale image then coloring it with multiply, pointing out highlights with layers and shadows with burn/smudge.

Scabies was a forgotten beast. It was the only one of it's kind. A huge quadruped
composed of mud. It has wings and it has a bloated body. Beware it's poisonous
sting! Scabies was associated with deformity and disease.
Yeah... wikipedia that first and tell me what you think.

quadruped is probably being used to describe a body type, ie body like a horse or llama, rather than like a chicken or insect.
eight legs is the actual number of legs that it has.

We could attempt thread-necromancy-by-creative-contribution, instead of simple bumping. If I can find a chance maybe even I will attempt some kind of stick figure drawing. It'd be a shame to see this thread die - I suspect its a lack of momentum rather than a lack of general interest in the concept.

Bitterhorn's actually looks like some sort of crazy lurking predator - you think it's just an empty shell of some creature that died in the caverns, and next thing you know, all this vapor comes out and ensnares you.
Rumrusher's gives me this great image of some bored, insane genie who responds to every wish by going "Here, have some webs. Webs fix everything!"
Peregarret's made me laugh out loud. I love the bizarre Ghostbuster/steam-cleaner vibe I get out of the whole image. The single sock is a wonderful touch, too. That he's webbing up some random cat is also pure Dwarf Fortress in its essence. :D

Okay, how about this one:
Code: [Select]
Cuthabe was a forgotten beast. It was the only one of its kind. A huge feathered lobster. It has four stubby horns and it has
a gaunt appearance. Its scarlet feathers are long and narrow. Beware its noxious secretions! Cuthabe was associated with water,
chaos, and caverns.

I did a Cuthabe pic - It's hard to do 'gaunt' when he's covered in feathers.
And his secretions are, eh, 'secreted' somewhere on his body under his plumage. Yeah, that's the ticket. I didn't just forget to draw them or anything like that. That'd be silly.

Yes, but it's a lot more fun to imagine it as a big pair of cheeks wreaking havoc on the fort.
I actually had the caption read; "Y'know, when they said there was a huge ass running amok in the fortress, I wasn't picturing it being... y'know... a huge ass." Dwarf2: "That's not the half of it... You haven't seen it's trunk." but it looked too crowded and maybe sounded a little too crude? :P

Of course we all know that it's meant to be donkey, but couldn't resist thinking of.. well.. ass.
Especially liked how you pictured "regal bearing" on it.
By the way, looks like original rules of winner choosing next beast to draw will never be obeyed. Maybe we should forget about it and from now choose the most epic beast description from everyone who wants to provide it?

I'm torn between Cerol and Weary's pictures.
Cerol's really captures the 'towering' aspect, while Weary's is a nice use of ASCII.
I can't decide! I don't want to hurt one by voting for the other, so... I vote for both!

Nothing special on this one, but I sort of imagined the 'wings of stretched skin' to be flying-squirrel-like, and had this image of a giant snail majestically rippling silently through the cavern gloom. I don't know how well I managed to convey that here.
I need to learn how to draw better. How long does a "quick sketch", as many of you call your work, take time for you?
I haven't really timed myself, to be honest. Mine really do tend to be quick sketches - I don't really have the patience to do anything too elaborate. I'
d guess they tend to take anywhere from 5-20 minutes, depending on the amount of fiddly stuff I put in and whether I end up erasing entire body parts due to messing up scale or something.

Hey folks! I just registered today to be able to participate in the magnificence that is this topic. It seems that things have sort of dwindled off which is really too bad. If people want to decide on a beast I would be happy to try and keep it going with whoever wants too.Yea I'd love if we maneged to bring this thread back to life :D

We can't have a poll at the top of the thread without the OP. This, of course, doesn't stop us from voting in posts, but there would have to be someone who would find and collect said votes.Do we make a new thread? I kinda like this one but...if it won't work a new thread might be the better alternative.

As far as I could tell polls were never really being used here. It was just counting. I think this was just because of the hassle involved. You would need to make a option for each person participating and then remake it every time we moved onto a new round. If someone wants to put forth the effort to maintain something like that then that would be great. However it would then be kinda lame if everyone is ready to move on and the OP is slacking in updating the poll.
I'm fine with staying here but if others want to make a new thread then thats cool too. Like Chilton said though, post here so the rest of us know. ;)

As for how it will work, does 3 days per challange sound good? Alternativly we could end the challange when a certain amount of beasts has been posted...
If you have any ideas or opinions please post them.
Since it hasn't really started yet the first challenge here could get a bit of extra time before we start voting :)

to see this Thread LIVE!You make a valid point but the way I see it is that we could simply ride on the epicness that this thread already have towards our goal of getting the FB-challange going. :P
At the same time it would be a alot smoother to start new on a blank page, where we could have voting and polls etc.
Any thoughts?

I just think its needless effort to try and base the continuation on prior votes. Thats what nearly choked the life out of it before. There was confusion about whos go it was to decide whats next, and then it never happened. Hence My suggestion to post a Reply starting afresh right here and now. Itd just rule out all the variables, and its the simplest possible follow on.
Plus, LoudWhispers said You won the Thread.

Okay, so since I'm writing a P&P RPG, and I want art like this, a) What do I need to practice to make art like that or B) How much would hiring someone to do art like that cost?I don't know anything about the artist commission rates, but there's one thing I know certainly: Achieving such art skills require years of practice drawing seemingly boring stuff from life, like still lives, or figure drawing from life. If you ask some very skilled people in the Engraver's Guild thread at the Creative Center, they'll confirm it. Inspired by Fault and this thread, I've started learning art myself last year, only to bump into this fact a few months later.
On the other hand, you live in the United States, and there's a lot of life drawing workshops and classes there (as far as I can see from the desolate wastelands on the other side of the Atlantic). If you have money, you can attend these art classes.
Also, read this:
http://www.noahbradley.com/blog/2011/how-to-be-an-artist-without-going-to-art-school/
P.S. I'll try to draw some beast or another, even though my art skills are quite bad (not so bad as last year, at least)

We're not the only contestants! :P
I know that there are other contestants but I think for Unu YOU are the only one that has a submission. I guess I kinda tarded out and included myself when I have not yet submitted this round. Durp. Just trying to let people know when I'm aiming for and what I thought the targeted end time of this round was.
If folks feel differently then by all means we can change the deadline. Didn't mean to sound demanding or anything :)
I just dont want to loose the little bit of momentum that we have sitting in one round too long.
Btw way guys feel free to speak your opinion on if we should keep it as a voting challenge or if we want it to just work in a more chillaxed way where everyone posts what they feel like andnooneeveryone wins? ;D
I'm all for being chillaxed. I'm not in it too win I just want to draw monsters. However I did think the voting was a good way to decide who picked the next beast. I can also see the problems that caused before though.
My suggestion: At the end of the round whoever picked the beast decides who shall pick next. So when this round is over, since Slowpokez posted the current beast, he would choose who the next beast picker is. Also some rule like you can't pick the person who picked you.
Its not perfect but it does away with pain in the ass voting and doesn't end up with a whole mess of monster descriptions being posted at the end of each round.
I do know though that would like to keep it in rounds with everyone drawing the same description before moving on to the next.
Thats my two cents.
Interested in hearing other ideas though.

I still need to follow up on that. My main concern is that depending on the amount of art he wants for his book even if I made my rate low it could still become very expensive. Especially for one dude to spend on his personal project.

-Pick a beast so epic it makes Urist Mcmoody cancel his mood, a beast so bizarre that not even the legendary engravers can't describe it in their work or so terrifying that it's twisted features make even the most hardened of armoks warriors drop their weapons and run in fear.

Watching the thread and the drawings of you all, cursing my laziness and talentlessness. Damn I want to draw well, but I don't know where to learn it, and I can't bare to practice on my own, because my drawings make we want to burn them in magma.~~~WARNING, LONG MOTIVATIONAL, OFFTOPIC RANT AHEAD!~~~
Despite your "talentlessness", you can become an good artist too. However, it requires a lot of hard work plus perseverance, and a lot of time to develop (Rome wasn't built in one day, right?). Most people quit when they face this fact, that's why there aren't many good artists around. Those people who stay in the fight pass through all hardships either because of their devotion/obsession, or willpower. That applies to other skills too, not just to art. The thing known as talent only applies to the period of starting out, talented artists may start learning easier than everyone, but they still have to to work hard and experience failures.
When an artist work hard despite all troubles and failures, his work improves over time. For example, take a look at the sketchbook thread of MindCandyMan from ConceptArt.org (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=870). Over the period of about 6-7 years he had managed to get from an "absolute rookie" to a damn good professional painter.
A more close to us (yet slightly less clear) example would be this (http://www.elfwood.com/~patricius). It's an abandoned Fault's page on Elfwood (yeah, that's Fault. He had reposted this (http://www.elfwood.com/~patricius/Damnation.3109932.html) and this (http://www.elfwood.com/~patricius/Goblin-bandit.3109930.html) on Bay 12 Forums in the DF fanart thread, here (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=42086.msg963572#msg963572) and here (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=1604.msg873742#msg873742) respectively). Compare his artwork from 2007 with the artwork he makes now. He did improve, didn't he?
The reasons why he had improved differently compared to above-mentioned MindCandyMan are: 1. The stuff on Elfwood was drawn when Fault was 13 years old, and 2. Unlike MindCandyMan, Fault is not aiming in the fine art territory. Anyway, despite all failures, he'd been working hard, and that's what made his artwork good.
I hope that it helps you (or anyone) somehow.
P.S. Nice Nolthag, strongrudder!

Improving at art is almost entirely based on practice. Natural "talent," in my opinion, mostly has to do with exceptional patience for the practice that's required. Or perhaps a keen observational eye. Or even better than average hand-eye coordination. These things make art easier, but it doesn't lock out people who don't have them.
Post by: Guardian G.I. on February 07, 2012, 02:18:53 pm

Well I thought I was gonna have to write a big motivational rant of my own but it looks like thats been seen to. ;)
I can't really tell you much that hasn't already been said. A talented artist may have a natural affinity for art but in the long run its just a skill. Like all skills you have to work at it to improve. My advice is just to try not to be so hard on yourself. You're just starting out and need to remember that. Look at other artists work and try to figure out how they did it. Look at photos and real life for reference. Ask people how to improve and take their critique in stride. MOST IMPORTANTLY THOUGH HAVE FUN. If you're not enjoying the process then you're going to have a hell of a time advancing.
You should submit something, we would all like to see it. :)

Nice to see this thread back up and running.While it is true that DefroMortis is an artistic demigod, I still like yours because unlike all the other pictures you made it long and sanke like, giving it an even more ominous feel. I also think that the lighting is very good. Don't beat yourself up for not being better than the video game concept artist, it is his job after all. (At least if I remember what he said correctly, it could just be my brain trying to come up with an explanation for his amazing skills)

Bring us something awesome strongrudder!
Éna Lacecibulifo/Frothbelch was a forgotten beast. It was the only one of its kind. A gigantic cat with lidless eyes. It has thin wings of stretched skin and it squirms and fidgets. Its gray hair is patchy. Beware its poisonous gas! Éna was associated with disease and caverns.
This thing seems really well-suited to be some kind of horror tale in dwarven fortresses. Lurking in the dark of unexplored caverns, Éna represents every horrible syndrome that might befall dwarfkind. Like the benign animal it steals its shape from, a plague from Éna can quickly
Have at it!

My favorite so far in this batch is Lagole Gon's. That is one seriously glassy eyed killing machine.
And I'd say urs is my fav so far ;), I was planning to do the thing you did with the wings but you beat me to it ::)
also I really like the feel of the...uhh...my vocabulary is failing me >:( ...uhh...well...uhh...

Bralbaard's is a cool fairy-tale book style.
Lagole Gon's so cutie.. well, except for that exhaled gas...
Indricotherium's is an alley cat carrying deceases and turning home into his lovely trashpile
NaveReyem's wings are brilliant catch of ASCII tileset gas. I do like them!
So I'm voting for NaveReyem and Slowpokez. Also, no my MS-paint trash this time =)

On an unrelated note, I believe FBs have gotten a few new additions in the latest version. I've noted a few with glowing eyes, which I've never seen before in an FB description, as well as one FB that was 'twisted into humanoid form', which until now I'd only seen on demons. This thread may well get a bit more varied soon!
The glowing eyes might be new, but I've definitely seen the 'twisted into human form' before on FB's (but only in very rare cases)
A deserved victory for Lagole Gon, great picture.

Yeah, same here. I looked through probably 100 beasts and found 2 that were "twisted into human form." It would be nice to see a bit more variety. It seems like 75% of the beasts have trunks for some reason. The base animal doesn't seem to change as much as it should either. Lots of scorpions, spiders, and golems of various types with a sprinkle of dimetordon. It seems to me that dwarf fortress already has so many real life animals in it that we would see more popping up in forgotten beast descriptions.
Post by: Uros on February 17, 2012, 06:55:54 pm
I know this probably is against the rules of the lil game you guys have been doing since 2011 x3 But since I have seen the forgotten beasts hadn’t really been that impressive lately and, besides writing my little story I wouldn’t mind some visual help :3 So I will post their descriptions and hope that, if it is against the rules, you guys are at least interested in the designs. Marino is quite normal (A spider), but Kääffäär may pique the interest from some of you guys.
Note: They aren’t forgotten beasts made before the world was world. My story is ‘not cannon’ (Does that exist in Dwarf Fortress?). First chapter should be up today or tomorrow if any is interested.
I hope none of you mind the back-story too much, I mostly wanted to throw it in to see if any of you feel a bit more compelled by the creatures ;3 If not, go directly to the description.
Also, I wanted to include the spawn of Kääffäär, but I think this is already quite a lot.
Marino Klammar – The Godly Touched Spider.
Back-story:
The runt of the litter from a massive batch of cave spiders, Marino Klammar, as most other spiders from the caves, had no name, no feelings and almost no intelligence. Being smaller than the rest of its kind made the poor creature’s life a constant fight, as even being pitted against the weakest of creatures was a fight to the death. The miserable creature had to resort to draining fluids from fungus and sparse fish, unable to compete against almost any creature.
This, though, made her develop a small intellect over its first year of life, without it she would’ve died without a thought.
Such development, probably by the magic properties of the caves she was in, attracted the attention of one of the greater demons that had laid its eye on the region. It promised Marino a life where she would never have to fear being preyed ever again, the power to hunt and the skill to survive. With its little intelligence and simple desire to keep going, the poor creature accepted, though reluctantly.
Then she was touched by the demon, and everything changed.
As Marino writhed in agony, one of the gods pitied the poor creature, pushing the power of the demon away and taking its place to heal the poor thing and boost its intelligence; however the damage was already done. Marino would wake up, a translucent figure of impossible shape standing before its huge and mutant body, waiting for her to wake up and simply give her a gentle touch on its new maw, now an artifact for destruction.
A flash of light enveloped her, and, for a second, she turned somewhat human, yet still monstrous in appearance. That passed quickly though, as it was a phase simply to bestow her with feelings and knowledge akin to a human by the god before Marino went back to its monstrous form and the god went away…
After that Marino resumed her life under the grown, fighting to survive no more, but yearning the day when she would be found by someone, as even if she could not talk, loneliness would erode away her life for thirty nine years, until…
Description:
Two to three times taller than a human, Marino’s body is covered on its upper zone by a black chitin, practically made out of steel as were its needle like hairs that littered the surface of her body by the hundreds. Her lower body is composed of a yellow like muscle covered in an almost transparent flesh barrier that seems to exude some kind of venom. The back of her abdomen has a huge silk organ engorged and mutated to appear like a serrated mouth of some hellish creature capable of spitting venomous strands of the silk impressive distances away.
Her legs are covered in some kind of green substance that sparkles and shines with its own light, most likely some kind of moss or even maybe a natural gem that her body generates. She has fourteen legs, six that are in contact with the ground, six that grow upwards to take contact with the ceiling and two that spawn forward, some kind of pincers growing on their ends to gnaw or snap at whatever comes too close with unfriendly intentions.
An once arachnid face has been torn into a wicked image of savagery. Eight mandibles, two opening upwards, two downwards and four sideways (two to each side) seem to hold the creature’s many massive chelicerae. In the centre of these horrific and murderous weapons lies a tubular mouth lined with many serrated teeth that seem to spin around constantly with the only job of draining fluids and then spiting any carcass out. Each ‘mouth’ has four eyes on the head segment they are attached to, making it a total of 16.
Skills, powers, etc:
She has the following qualities: Poisonous web, lethal poison if injected with the creature’s fangs, acidic damage if the creature tramples you, steel like resistance, extremely fast regeneration thanks to the acids inside of her.
Kääffäär – The Absorber of Bodies.
Back-story:
A massive squid like creature when he was normal, Kääffäär was brought from an underwater sea to the depths of the fortress where it was found and where it still resides. For some reason this great squid had the desire to consume creatures nonstop, some speculate it is because of the gem it had incrusted on its forehead, most probably placed there by some magician with desires to test new magical spells.
Soon, however, the creature found himself with no food, or that those that he could eat would avoid him like the plague as even animals had instincts that told them what was dangerous… and antinatural. It would only take Kääffäär weeks for his stored and decayed prey to evaporate as he ate them or scavengers took them away. With the only thing the creature had; instincts and desire to live, being tested to its maximum, someone took an interest on him.
Many years before Marino would even exist, the demon that offered her the deal to change would appear to Kääffäär, and others, though Kääffäär would be the only one to show readily in front of the dwarves after his change, one that he took gladly after the offering of the demon: Power, the capability of bringing prey to him even from afar, and to ensure he would live forever.
Being touched by the high demon didn’t even hurt the creature as his form changed into a monstruous mockery of what he once was, however what intelligence he gained made him care little, as form was not what he was after. The monster was after the simplest pleasure life could give you; food.
With his powers he would ensure no one remembered him after each time the fort had to be left behind, if someone made it out alive. Every time dwarfs came back, he lied there, waiting, eating any creature that moved to the levels where the lakes and seas underground would offer the brutal but cowardly beast’s protection, as well as ensuring at least one of its spawn was always in a safe place to escape in the almost impossible case that someone struck him down.
Description:
Many times bigger than any human, probably as tall as a dragon, Kääffäär has a huge bloated body that can occupy four ‘blocks’ (Imagine it in DF standards) with its tentacles included. The slender form was lost long ago, now simply a huge belly like form with many gasses and openings from which the spawn it creates drop to the water before being bound to its master’s will. On top of the huge belly rest the now blind eyes of the monster, a huge crystal of many colors surveying the land and mesmerizing any that looks at it and has not a strong will.
Its mouth is massive, lipless but with hundreds of small beaks outlying it as it seems to extend to the whole frontal form of the creature, being big enough to even fit an elephant inside. Deep within the mouth lies a canal, anyone unlucky enough to fall inside and survive the outer atrocity that would butcher any bigger prey would find what seemed to be a hellish contraption made of flesh, muscles and bone. The only mission of such a thing was to smash into a pulp any creature that went inside its stomach, live or dead.
Finally Kääffäär’s tentacles lie in all over the front of its body, twenty four massive walls of flesh that flail around wildly, knots of bone, flesh hooks and their own girth making evading them almost impossible and quite painful. The biggest treat, however, were the slits that the tentacles had on their top, surrounded by the suckers. Capable of absorbing living or dead beings and send them towards the acid inside of its stomach, the tentacles were the most dreaded and feared part of the creature, a horrible way of ending your life if they caught you was more than assured.
Skills, powers, etc:
He has the following skills: Many insta death attacks (Mauled with the maw, trampled over someone, absorbed by tentacles) and produces 26 attacks at a time (One per tentacle, the eye and the maw). He also can come back even if you kill it, create minion creatures and form an army if you aren’t careful, and cannot walk on ground, only in water.

So how loose is your definition of "lobster" defined? ;DIn this case a lobster is defined by the amount of hair it has, doesn't matter if it's covered in fur, moustaches or dwarven beard... Now I regret not making a lobster out of beards... :-\

To be fair, GIMP is pretty stable and it's only crashed on me a couple of times, and even then I've only lost about an hour. Six hours is really cruel though.I usually can't stay focused on a picture for longer then half an hour but I decided to take this one seriously...either my computer or Gimp couldn't handle the high resolution...
Guess I'll have to act as a judge on this one ::)

Six hours is really cruel though.I've been using GIMP regularly for the last two or three years, and I don't think I have ever had it crash on me. I did lose eight hours of work on some graphics for a web page a couple weeks ago, but that was due to a loose SATA cable. Can't save when writing to the drive gets corrupted. :(

It was done in ink and marker on 8.5x11 inch paper and then scanned in. I mess with it in photoshop a bit because it scans in lighter than it actually looks. So I just darken it a bit and do any color correction that it needs.

You've probably answered this and i missed it, but do you draw then scan it in, or do you draw it all on the computer?
It was done in ink and marker on 8.5x11 inch paper and then scanned in. I mess with it in photoshop a bit because it scans in lighter than it actually looks. So I just darken it a bit and do any color correction that it needs.
DeKaFu, you can always draw up your own Ustxu, even if it doesn't get posted in time. I know I, for one, am interested in all the different versions and how people have interpreted the description. Your other choice is to just wait for Slowpokez' selection of the Ustxu "winner", and that person posting a new forgotten beastie for us to render in various shades of !!glory!! :D

Definitely got the bulging/undulating aspect. Seems you also got caught on the 'poisonous gas' thing too lol. I guess poisonous gas isn't always visible anyways... Did you draw this on paper and scan then color, or did you just use a tablet to draw the muscles/striations? I'm not too seasoned in anatomy, so don't look too close at the human muscles in my drawing ;) I also took a bit of artistic license since I was combining a freaking bison and a human... lol
I just figured the deadline was around today, since it seems the time limit has been around a week. Usually the person posting the description sets the deadline and there wasn't any posted for this specific one. Considering there have only been a few depictions posted I guess an extension is in line?

Everything was done by tablet. I made a couple of sketches just to get an idea of the layout but I found I could draw it better from scratch on the tablet. I'd seen a tutorial video a while back on a way to do muscles quickly for character design so this was a good opportunity to try it out. Can't seem to find the video again though so was going by memory. The poisonous gas was more of an afterthought though.
Nothing wrong with taking artistic license as well. In fact it should be encouraged. That's the great thing about this thread. You get to see different peoples art styles and imagination.

I like PlutoniumApe's for the sweet animation and that terrifying skull face. Zepar's is pretty cool the way it's busting through the doors, ready to murder everything... but it reminds me a bit of the pink demon from Doom. :P
rcmgames' Thol looks truly horrifying... that poor, poor dwarf. I like Mine's rendition of Thol for the cool pose and lovely muscle anatomy. But chewie...
Oh, man, Chewie... Your drawing of Thol had me in tears! He looks like he's just come upon the dwarven fortress and is saying "Hey guys, what's goin' on? Why's everyone runnin'?" Your drawing has brought me so much joy, it seriously brightened my day. I thank you for that! :D

Haha! Sorry 'bout that, I had just woke up when I posted that and was still giggling at chewie's cute little forgotten beast. :P

I just love the simplistic style and the scattered brush makes for a great coraly texture.
I really really hope to see your future interpretations of the coming forgotten abomination!
Spoiler: Chickenfeed (click to show/hide)
Coral is indeed very rock like stuff. I really like the touch of scattered algae and the spiral horn just breaking through the skull. The eye alone makes for an amazing look. The dwarves have just awoken this monstrosity from its eternal slumber. Prepare to die!
Spoiler: rhesusmacabre (click to show/hide)
The lighting is superb and so is the texture it highlights. By the time you see it coming through the mist, it's probably too late.
Spoiler: rcmgames (click to show/hide)
Upside down ice cream cone? Terrorgnome? Underground abomination?
All of the above? Truly terrifying and hilarious at the same time. I just sure hope these aren't his younglings he's carrying around.
And thanks for the Speed Draw, very interesting to have seen you working on this jolly fellow.
Spoiler: diamondwolf (click to show/hide)
Majestic. I can't really find other words to describe this coral incarnate.
I hope that you find time to finish him and if you do, don't hesitate to present him to us!
Great, now that we have all the submissions lined up, it's probably time to pick a winner.
I just want to thank you again for your submissions, because we all know that this contest must not be allowed to die.

The Forgotten Beast Stosbub has come! An enormous kinglet with external ribs. It has a spiral shell and it has a gaunt appearance. Its amethyst feather are downy. Beware its fire!

I wouldn't imagine an eldritch horror being that... gentle looking. I looks more like a misunderstood maternal figure greeting the tiny dwarf at the bottom right in the only way in knows how rather than a violent murder machine.
No one ever said it was a malicious beast. Perhaps it is merely saddened by the dwarves nonacceptance of it. It may have destroyed a fortress not because it hated the dwarves, but rather because the dwarves were unwilling to accept it beyond its lame based communications.
Post by: rcmgames on May 14, 2012, 01:21:46 pm
Haha oh man, don't watch my let's play where I refer to It as some 'crustacean'.. I think kinglet is so close to kingler the pokemon, plus the shell threw me off.. I guess now I know why it was so aggressive, it rose from the caverns to warn us of the other deadly creatures, like a good mother-like figure would... But she saw we were too dumb and defenseless that she decided to take us out of our misery, early.
BTW the drawings are great. Keep 'em coming! it seems we have just a few, so how about if we don't have 5 entries by Wednesday, well extend to Friday??

RCMGames - I still don't understand how you can do that with a tablet. It's not as if the tablet shows the image for you to draw on... does it? :O
Anyways, I'm going to try and force myself to draw today. Wish me luck!
I use a tablet as well. Many of my recent entries exist only digitally without any drawings or concepts on paper. While it is true that you cannot see the image on the tablet, it isn't hard to sync your brain with the computer screen. Once you get good at it, it can be easier to use than physical media since your hand is not in your way and you can undo mistakes.
Post by: rcmgames on May 16, 2012, 03:12:04 pm
Exactly what diamondwolf said, once you start to get used to using the tablet it is invaluable. To be able to paint those smooth strokes in the computer, then quick hit undo to erase a mistake is truly an awesome aspect of digital painting. I'm no expert though. On that note if you are interested in Photoshop, there are some amazing tutorials/tips at http://www.ctrlpaint.com/ about digital painting.

I'm saving for my tablet (still doing everything with my mouse) and spent last night almost watching half of those videos.
Interesting videos for any artist, not only digital. Seeing the pressure sensitivity with tablets almost killed me.

ps. Headhanger, could you set a deadline for submissons on Strabo so that we will get things rolling once more.Giving me responsibility is a terrible thing.
On top of that, we now have entries for both Stabo (including Child of Armok's dramatic scene of impending dwarf-death and your scaly abomination rising from the murk of a cavern lake) and Thebi (an extremely BOSS and dramatic submission by Logrin).
And I drew both Forgotten Beasts because I was bored, not because I intended to start a new round.
But a new round would be good. Maybe this should be the lightning round? Draw either beast and screw the rules! We'll return to normal viewing after these technical difficulties.
I don't want to bog things down and delay any more than we already have, but neither do I want to make unfair executive decisions and become a temporary dictator.
To keep things moving, let's have a deadline of the end of the month i.e. Sunday.

Which means that this week Darker's beast is the "official entry",
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y139/DarkC1oak/DF-nuglush.jpg)
and that at the end of this particular challange he will also be the person declaring a winner.
This is necessary to get the thread back on track (I might add that I could possibly have been the cause of this slight derailment), if however Darker would choose to let Ice pick the next winner due to some sort of "fairness aspect" I don't belive it would cause any further problems.
I hope everyone agrees with me on this topic as it is my outmost belief that this is the simplest route to get everything back in sync. :)

Also, I'd add the poor owner of that pick, split into halves, laying in a pool of his own blood, but that just me... :P
And the pick was there to represent a sense of scale and maybe suggest the dwarf that happened upon Nuglush wasn't willing to stick around to see if it was friendly.

Lobsters are difficult to draw, guys. But you don't even have to try to change them much to make them look weird. I did a pen drawing on a pad, some of the lines from the back of the page have come through but it's messy anyway. I even attempted a cavern with mushrooms because the rest of you aren't lazy.I think it's pretty cool actually. I like the almost-symmetrical head-on perspective and the wiry little fungi on the right. Also the eyelessness.Spoiler (click to show/hide)

DarkerDark: Thanks for showing up on such short notice, Cero!
Cero: Well I couldn't help but hurry over when you mentioned forgotten beasts. I'm an expert of sorts, you know, and I do so enjoy informing others about these wonderful subterranean creatures. Did you know the life expectancy of the average forgotten beast is directly proportional to whether or not he resides close to a Dwarven Mountain Home?
DarkerDark: I suppose it makes sense.
Cero: Makes sense? Come now, old friend, you can't possible sit here and say that the systematic extermination of the indigenous populations of the underground world makes sense. It's Dwarven barbarity, I tell you! And it must be put to a stop!
DarkerDark: Err... I...
Cero: I apologize, friend, I didn't mean to direct that little outburst at you. It's just infuriating that these forgotten beasts, these gentle giants, these sweet princes of the underground are facing such persecution at the hand of those bearded devils... Anyways, let's carry on, shall we? I believe we have a contest to judge!
DarkerDark: Yeah, Alright... Let's see here... This latest round is Nuglush, an enormous eyeless lobster.

Glad I could take part in the contest this time. Maybe I'll try more often. Wish I'd known I had a few more weeks, might've put in a bit more time.
Anyway, I've got a new forgotten beast for you.
It's Xûku!

Something about breaking out the coal-black ink and scratching around on physical paper to capture the essence of a monster is very dwarfy.

From Icecold, what I would best describe as a lurking horror. Exactly the sort of creature that would scare the bejabbers out of your standard dwarf. I particularly like the runic-looking etchings in the rock--sort of mine signs indicating that there is a danger ahead.

Next is GreatWyrmGold, who encountered the same sizing problem I did when I first submitted to this thread. Actually, I found sizing the image in Paint works well, although you still have to work on making it legible (took me several tries). I like the small cloud of bolts. When Quelge finally fell, it was after a sustained period of bleeding out in a lake, which this seems to capture nicely.

Last one is Chewie, whose unfinished work is still impressive--a sort of Slenderman version of Quelge. I note that what looks like the right front leg seems to articulate backwards. I don't know whether or not this was deliberate or a mistake, but it adds to the unsettling look of the creature, and I like it.
This basically just became a greyscale painting of a toad without all the specific features the FB has. But I was quite surprised by my painting skills and since there's not much going on here, I thought I'd upload it anyway.

All right, lets move on, so here's your next beasty:
Casot was a forgotten beast. It was the only one of its kind. A great noseless bison. It has large mandibles and it has a bloated body. Its dark indigo hair is long and straight. Beware its deadly spittle! Casot was associated with chaos and caverns.
Note that it was associated with chaos, so bonus points for being able to represent it in your picture.

Thanks for that! However, if you look closely "going on a break" is actually fitting a bolt into his crossbow. I think the only thing missing is the golden haired dwarf carrying a baby into battle. I'm not ashamed to admit I was influenced by some of the "prepare for battle" scenes from Bravemule.

I thought maybe he was taking the bolt OUT of the crossbow and packing it away. Maybe hes smirking at Urist McSwordsdwarfs distress because marksdwarfs can stand at a safe distance from the spittle :)

You know.. that speciffic word I highlighted?
In Danish, it's a slang for a specific man part.
So that you posted could be very naughty out of context. :P

lol my danish grandmother found it amusing that we were eating popping candy when I was a kid........ I dunno why.... pop means fart or something? considering she lives in a place called Aars I dont think she can say anything :P
Don't really know.. I am kind of unfamiliar with some danish words.
Altough I have just checked some danish dictionary and apearantly it seem to be used to describe unserious action.
I am not sure why she would find it hilarious tough.. ???
Perhaps it has another meaning when she was young?
Alas, don't take my word for it.. While I am proficient in Danish, I am primary Swedish.
(Altough living in Greenland for many years have deprived me of these newfangled words of todays youth.)

Sorry, nothing quite so magnificent. I present to you: Quelge Thefin Usluh, Forgotten Beast:
(http://i.imgur.com/L1R4h.png) (http://imgur.com/L1R4h)
While we wait for the next FB to draw, and while we kill time by discussing the name of female genitalia in different languages ("vittu" in Finnish, BTW), I present you my rendition of Usluh the teenage mutant hero.. toad.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I know I'm horribly late with this submission. I drew it a month ago but had not time to color at the time. Now I had time, but had already forgotten that it should've been skinless. I'm so sorry Usluh, please do not eat me (too)!
Your comments are more than welcome and all feedback, good or bad is most appreciated!

It just so happens that your thread here is only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do: Go through its clothes and look for loose change.

Ruyava Urnnightmare was a forgotten beast. It was the only one of its kind. A towering scaly salamander. It has a pair of knobby antennae and it undulates rhythmatically. Its dark chestnut scales are jagged and overlapping. Beware its deadly blood! Ruyava was associated with water, murder, and caverns.

But that is not a forgotten beast!!! Maybe a horribly forgotten drink that boils in your mug but not a beast :(

Seriously though, the format is flawed. It seems the best artists (and thus the people most likely to win) are very bad at following up on the thread to keep it moving forward.
Post by: strongrudder on December 10, 2012, 08:55:47 pm
I know it's not much different from the fanart or adventure drawing threads, but forgotten beasts are a worthy subject in their own right, for their procedural weirdness.

IMO, you should just go with this format:
Everyone is allowed to post descriptions of FBs they want to see drawn, and everyone can draw any posted FBs, or any FBs they themselves have found.
After all, we just want to see drawings of any and all FBs. Right?
Post by: rcmgames on December 13, 2012, 08:16:50 am
I know I have forgotten about this thread, there weren't many people participating, and I don't know if anyone ever picked the last winner! I like the format of 'everyone draws the same FB' because you get to see everyone's visualization of the same thing. But if you think opening it up to pick one of many and just draw what you like would work better, maybe we should start a new thread about it. Post 5-10 FB in a thread, and anyone can post their picture of one of them. What do you think?

Post by: rcmgames on December 14, 2012, 08:42:48 am
Well yes, that would be the optimum setup. I just meant that instead of being tied to waiting for a winner, anyone could contribute a FB when things slowed down. Likewise, newcomers would always be free to have a crack at previous FBs. What I think we should actively discourage is people coming in with a FB and a drawing at the same time, since that would pull the thread toward "hey look at the FB I drew" rather than "let's all do this together."
Yep, sounds good. So do you have a FB so we can get started drawing!? I think we all just wanna draw! haha

I´ve started reading this topic a couple of days ago from first page (currently at page 59) to see some cool FB's. I decided that I might also join in this drawing fun-ness. What is the current format? Someone posts a FB and ppl draw? Or just a list of FB's and we all draw something we like from that list?

This guy showed up, with his noxious secretions boiling into a purple could of pain all around him, and he slaughtered about 7 members of my military before the militia commander cut his trunk off with an axe and then killed it.
Anyway, for some reason, Baros, has stuck in my memory since then, and I plan to base an encounter in a table-top game I run on him, and having some art to show would be neat.
If whoever decides not to drop the "contest" idea, then I guess you can ignore this post.

Well, we gotta get this going again.^^
For those who haven't taken part before-
1. It's not the "best" piece of art that wins rather the most
2. There is no voting simply because that system kept killing the thread :C
The winner of the previous round starts his round by posting the description of a beast and after about a week or so he choses the new winner. Simple.
3.Post anything you want regardless of your artistic skills. The more the merrier ^^
4. Much appreciated if you were to disregard any gramatical or factual errors due to my heavily intoxicated state.
Let's say next guy to post a desc. starts it off?

Also, slowpokez, I don't know if people are still using the contest idea, but if someone posts a description of a cool beast I'll try to draw it.
Oh, n nice slug m8! delightful choice of cavern coloring.
What program do you guys use to draw?Ms paint and Gimp.
Wouldn't recommend it though, Paint is shit n Gimp can be complicated.

I have tried Gimp and its confusing as hell and the manual isn't even corresponding with reality...Yea, most of that stuff is for earlier versions. Gotta learn through trial and error :P
So, slowpokez, I suggest you post a description to revive this thread!Well, naturally the idea crossed my mind but I don't have Df installed atm. Let's see what lucky bastard gets a freebe, eh? ;D

Urist, light up another torch. Mine went out again....Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Btw what happned to the challange? Everything stopped when i left again?
Well, we gotta get this going again.^^
For those who haven't taken part before-
1. It's not the "best" piece of art that wins rather the mostsick and twisted, nightmarishinteresting. Otherwise us mere mortals wouldnt stand a chance aginst the likes of Deforo :P
2. There is no voting simply because that system kept killing the thread :C
The winner of the previous round starts his round by posting the description of a beast and after about a week or so he choses the new winner. Simple.
3.Post anything you want regardless of your artistic skills. The more the merrier ^^
4. Much appreciated if you were to disregard any gramatical or factual errors due to my heavily intoxicated state.
Let's say next guy to post a desc. starts it off?
Dude that thing is jacked up. Reminds me of No-Face from spirited away a little.
As for the contest...It doesn't matter to me. Whatever folks want to do if coo. I know I saw some people saying that they wanted to do away with the contest. I would say to go on ahead with the contest and if people want to participate they can and if not they can just post drawings or whatever.
In addition, people that are participating in the thread (not necessarily the contest, it doesn't matter) could add the current contest rules to their signature so that new people can easily see whats up.
I'mma add it to mine as an example.

1. The winner of the last round needs to pick a winner one week after the last contribution was made. If he fails to do so, someone should post a new description or something to keep the thing going.
2. People who want to contribute pics or descriptions outside of the contest should be free to do so, whether it is the contest FB or not.

If you seriously want the contest back in, then could we please add the following to the rules:
1. The winner of the last round needs to pick a winner one week after the last contribution was made. If he fails to do so, someone should post a new description or something to keep the thing going.
2. People who want to contribute pics or descriptions outside of the contest should be free to do so, whether it is the contest FB or not.

I don't think that waiting a week after the last contribution is really unnecessary unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean. From when I participated in the past one week from the posting of the beast description was quite enough time.
Agreed on number 2.

I don't think that waiting a week after the last contribution is really unnecessary unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean.
I think, you are. The thing is, the thread nearly died last time, because the person who won and posted the next description (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=76346.msg3598945#msg3598945) never turned up again to choose a winner despite being reminded by PM and everything. I think we need a standard procedure for that case, just like we need one when the winner doesn't post a description. In the former case I'd suggest we let random.org decide who wins. For the latter, maybe we could say everyone posts a description, and then we let random.org decide which one will be drawn, and the person who posted the desc is the new judge?
I hope I can get the idea across with this post...
Post by: DeferoMortis on December 26, 2012, 06:53:26 pm
However since were opening it up to submissions besides the contest a shorter time period would probably be fine.
I do think though that a hard time frame would be better than a last submission method since submissions will be harder to tack with people submitting that are not involved with the contest. It additionally makes it easier to know when we need to move on from lack of participation on the winners part.
as for electing someone to take a winners place I have no preference. Your suggested web site could be used, we could vote, or it could just be a first come first serve kinda thing if the winner goes past their deadline.

Tbh i think if you wanna get serious with your drawing you'll have to pay at some point, could be a scanner n good tools or a decent program...I don't fckn know :P
For a pic like this though I gotta use Gimp to split up the layers.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Pros n Cons with using gimp
Pros-
1Free.
2Got lots of stuff.
3If you want to make extremly bad animations and doesnt have flash? Gimp is the nr 1 tool for making really bad animations!
Cons-
1Stuff can be complicated and it's not really explained anywhere... A lot of trial and error. Might not be true for everyone but for me who hadn't drawn before it wasn't easy to get into.
2It's pretty fckn unreliable. Been drawing for 1 hour without bothering to save? 9/10 times this is where gimp decides to crash :'(
3 I dont know how to save pictures without fckn up the quality :-\ It might be impossible, it might be difficult to figure out or I might be retarded. Either way I needed a third con to balance stuff out :P
tl;dr- Ask someone who knows this stuff!

I don't really care in what manner we determine how to choose the next beast/choose the winner if the person who posts the FB description does not show up. I guess the random thing is alright.

I actually got most of that without the explanation. The sketch was fine, the lack of scanner did have negative impact, though.

It's amazng how few programs are out there specializing in pixel art friendly tools. Photoshop's blur and smudge are too aggressive, and paint.net lacks a precision blur tool at all! (Sigh)
MSpaint with manual color picking will just have to do. I just wish it wasn't such a damned pain!

LOL. With a whole week for an entry, an I going to try and pixel up something really good this time, with a real backdrop and everything. (Just wishes paint had a 4 pixel blurring tool.)Try Asesprite. Its an open source allegro program specifically made for making sprites. Its what i used when making my video game for school.

I might post a WIP later though.sadly, the lack of transparency effects makes the "transparent exoskeleton" thing pretty much impossible with MSPaint. I might have to build individual layer BMPs, load those into photoshop, and then composite that way.
Do the photoshop steps at home after work.
OK, here's the WIP.

I think wierd's WIP inititiative is a good idea. I've been sketching Enira during my free time at work but I probably won't finish it in time for cut off. This is what it actually currently looks like on paper before I inverted the colours in mspaint for a quick clear-exoskeleten-in-the-dark-caverns effect:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
It's only pencil so it's a bit light. There's still a lot I want to add, like the smaller set of wings, and I was also considering more Frankensteinian additions from others bugs. Because I never clearly know what I'm drawing when I start I always end up running out of paper like in this case. There's also a better than even chance that I will completely ruin it by working on it more and then decide to throw it in the bin, so consider this my entry unless I put up an update.

Photobucket may have mangled some of the details... but meh.
The idea here is to go for the "covered with cavern fungus" effect for the floor. The midground layer needs lots of color manipulation, but I can do that with photoshop when I do the *real* compositing.
The plan is to put dead and dieing dwarves and the wasp FB on the midlayer (with lots of blood), and a crossbow dwarf peering around the safety of the big pillar in the foreground layer, then superimpose the screen cap FB description text centered at bottom.
Foreground isn't complete. Grey vine around pillar will have little dark red sweetpods on it eventually.
It's amazing what you can do with the spraypaint tool in MSPaint isn't it :D

Post by: wierd on January 17, 2013, 09:59:04 pm
The wasp itself will be in a transparentized layer, and be treated with the eraser brush on 10% pressure, to selectively translucify it's exoskeleton, and permit the background pixels to show through. MSPaint lacks that functionality, so I am just building the component pixel art layers with it.
So, you really think it looks good? I am unhappy with the color balance of the midlayer.

Used GIMP for the compositing, which is not as familiar to me as photoshop.. but I think it looks alright.
Still needs dead dwarves, and the sniper dwarf. I will pixel up those tonight if possible.

(Inkling looks bad ass. Actual inkpen, on actual paper. Tracks pen and pressure activity, stores vector image.)
For pixel art, I prefer the point/click accuracy of the mouse. Sprite work requires exact pixel placement in many circumstances, since a single pixel out of place can ruin everything. Very OCD when making tiny sprites.

When doing actual drawing, I need direct visual feedback, and unless the monitor is also the tablet surface, I don't get that. Don't feel like forking out 1k to 2k for a professional animator's tablet that does, when a 200$ inkling would be both more comfortable, more familiar, and cheaper.

Bamboo are really great, honestly animator's tablets are a big waste of money.

The wacom inkling is *literally* a ballpoint pen.
It has a sensor clip that you clip onto the sketchbook, and it turns the sketchbook into a digitizer pad. You then old-school draw, and it stores the pen stroke and pressure data as a series of vectoral curves, ready for illustrator or inkscape.
You can take it with you to the park, or on vacation, or on the bus, since it doesn't need to be connected to the computer to work, only to download the stored image files.
These perks are why I would take it over a bamboo any day.

I have different muscle memory for pen drawing than I do for mouse pixel drawing. Used to own a wacom stylus double sided digitizer. (Stylus had 2 sensitive ends, one side used as the eraser.) I could never get used to it. The hover had to be millimeters above the tablet surface, and I was constantly fighting looking down at the tablet to draw.
I wouldn't have those problems with an inkling. For colorization and after effect cleaups, the mouse would be fine for me.

For some reason DF linux keeps complaining about GTK libraries not being installed, when they most certainly are.Is your Linux 64bit?
If it is you need the 32bit version of the GTK libraries it wants not the 64bit ones.

It is 64bit debian squeeze. I will look to see if I can get the i386 gtk2.0 libs when I go home.On squeeze your only option is "ia32-libs-gtk".
It may not have all the theme engines you need but it should work without those, you will just get warning messages about any that are missing.

Post by: arclance on January 21, 2013, 09:23:57 pm
They install the 32bit libs in a separate area, "/usr/lib32", so they don't interfere with the 64bit versions.
You may need to add
Code: [Select]
export GTK_PATH="/usr/lib32/gtk-2.0"to your launch script (df or dfhack) in squeeze to make it use the 32bit libs though.

I've often wondered if I should sit down and just cook up a bunch of sprites for community use some time, but I always run into the artistic version of writer's block, trying to come up with subject matter. This thread is great for that, because the subject gets supplied!
Ok Kuika, spoon up the next victim!
Definitely agree; this thread is great for giving me new fresh ideas to think about and sketch.

Here's a forgotten beast that personally drove me insane. Midil, a towering one-eyed cardinal with huge mandibles. Appears to be emaciated and breathes fire. Boiling blood makes attacking him a gamble.

Some backstory about Midil's rampage in my fortress from my log that I have been making along the game:

I imagine Cardinal Richelieu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinal_Richelieu), Rising from the pits of hell, and laying waste to the countryside!
Great big mandibles on his lips instead of that silly curled up mustache! And BURNING STIGMATA! :D

An antelope is not an antelope. It's a bunch of shapes. This is how you get yourself used to working with negative space elements, like bright white areas, especially when they have no bordering edge.
A good learning experience is a negative-drawing experience, with a scratch board, where you draw the negative, instead of the positive. (you remove black, revealing white.)
(Does graphite too. Not just pixel art. Limited by the resources available to me at work. MSPaint is ubiquitous.)

Being the child of a former professional artist, you just cant escape without picking up lots of different techniques in multiple mediums. I got essentially what counts as a formal art training over an entire childhood...
(My mother used to be a professional artist for Chance Rides inc, back in the 1990s, when they were the "World's finest", before they were downsized into oblivion by an injected banking financial partner. She did a lot of hand painting work on the "Show" animals that go on the outer ring of a carousel, and also designed and carved many of their unique animal designs. Before hiring her, they mostly used retouched Bradley and Kaye animals, but afterwards they got many unique ones, like a triceratops (http://www.hhpz.org/files/hhpz/Image/Carousel_Chart/Triceratops.jpg). (That was created during the last year mom worked there, and has a story behind it. The bank's financial "advisor" had ordered the destruction of the original mold plug for the rhinoceros, which is a crime against art--- (The original mold plug is used to recreate the mold, and is the *ORIGINAL* art.) Rather than see it totally destroyed, and leave nothing behind but a void, mom and several co-conspirators salvaged the sawed up parts from the refuse bin, and created the triceratops from it, using automotive bondo, marine grade fiberglass resin, a pair of nylon pantyhose, some modeling clay, and 2 wooden dowels. They did it in secret, and presented it to the owner, Dick Chance, the next time he made a tour, as a personal present.) It's fun for me to see Chance carousels, because I REMEMBER mom making the original art for many of their panels, and riders as well. For instance, the "Jester head" panels that go on the 50ft "Grand" carousel, as seen in this brochure (http://www.chancerides.com/rides/images/50ft_carrousel_specsheet.pdf) were made using high density foamboard, and yellow children's modeling clay on our kitchen table. The model for the golden liberty seen there on the rider bench, is actually my aunt Joyanne, My mom's sister. LOL. Her work is literally all over the world, and even in the smithsonian, but she herself is a figure of obscurity. I cant even begin to describe how "Crazy-good" she is.)

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.
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.

Catching up on thread, came across this. Most public libraries have scanners available for use. If that's not an option, you can often use daylight and a camera. If that doesn't work, you can sometimes hold the picture with a light source behind it, and photograph that.

'Twas a stand-in poll from the ancient times when Stone Wera still was around and regularly spurring the contest forward. When it came time to vote, the stand-in was removed and the chosen contestants were posted and voted on.
Is it time for a new thread, then? I'd volunteer to run the thing, but my own attendance on forums has been spotty. Nevertheless, I'd be willing to work with it. I'm not good at drawing (starting to learn), but I love the art here.
