Ah, but that'd be when they disassemble the wall. Building a wall takes a short enough time that only a single panel is needed. Tearing it down, however, requires several hours worth of mad glaring! (that, and i generally only operate with four panels at a time)
Regardless, extended and much creepier version.


You know we can't have a long, mindless stare without some kind of horrifying realization. It also serves to illustrate my point that, deep down inside, all dorfs are batshit insane alcoholic maniacs.

@Elu: That right there is a fantastic idea. We all know how weird dorfs are, but it's been illustrated too few times. AIN'T SO SUCH FING AS ENUFF ILLUSTRASHUNS.

Edit: Also, nightmare/mindfuck edition. Caution; long.

@IT 900 and Necro: Thanks! I quite enjoyed drawing scribbling it as well. I was snickering like hell while drawing the third dorf panel in particular. Call me mad if you want, but remember that you people can talk about weaponizing babies and laugh at the same time.

Also, new theory on how dorfs build walls (and possibly other things).


They simply gaze at it with that thoughtless smile until it autonomously assembles itself. Even females wear that face all the time, so surely they can do it as well. Different kinds of thoughtless smiles would be required for different jobs, hence the still-remaining professions. Carpenterface, masonface, metalsmithface... You name it, the dorfs have someone who can do it! If the gaze itself fails, they just revert to smashing their chiseled visage into the resistant object, until satisfactory results are achieved.

Can't be assed drawing it myself, but here's the description, for those who are interested.



It even has a few kills, courtesy of my hunter at that fort.

Well, let me get the description of a Adamantine Scepter I got in one of my fortress.

"This is a Raw Adamantine Scepter. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is encircled  with bands of Andesite, Honet Yellow Beryl, Emerald and Wax opal. This object is adorned with hanging rings of tentacle demon bone and menaces with spikes of Emerald. On the item is an image of a cloud in Raw adamantine.
On the item is an image of Utes Menacedtrusted the demon in tentacle demon bone. Utes Menacedtrusted is striking a menacing pose. The artwork relates to the release of the demon Utes Menacedtrusted by careless miners in the deepest recesses of Tubechambers in the midspring of 228.
On the item is a image of a lizard in cave spider silk."

Btw, this is THE coolest artifact I ever got. It was back in 40d and right after I breached -fun- the mason went nuts and started picking the raw adamantine i dumped next to his shop (I dind't planned that).  It was named "Egenazon Osreshlikot, Gifteddepress the Mortified Ink", and is worth 783.600 dwarf bucks.

Rarra, so many small details! But hell, your damned fine axe drawing inspired me. I can't do free-hand very well, so you'll have to do with a sprite.



Freud was right.

<.<

But, in the spirit of keeping this excellent thread alive...


I'm interested in seeing how one would make a floodgate out of dog bone, which somehow refers to two other artifacts, one of which coming from a previous fort in the same world!

Them's some hella dorfy humans, there!

Also, probably my own dad, or our neighbor. Both have a tendency to plan and build things seemingly at random; the neighbor builds more stuff, but my dad enjoys creative destruction and explosions. We once had a window of glass to be scrapped. Instead of safely breaking it with a hammer or something, he decided that we should prop it up in our carport and throw stones at it. Fun, but deafeningly loud. My ears rang and hurt afterwards. (also our other neighbor popped up to check out what the hell was going on)

...

This is the first time i've been moderately horrified by you guys. Then again, it's not like REAL babies are being dropped off a bridge into a room full of green recruits. I'd probably go with Spiral's idea though, puppies and kittens are much more abundant than babies in my forts.

DWARF FORTRESS: GIVE US YOUR BABIES THEY ARE TOTALLY SAFE HERE

1702: You can't headbutt people because it isn't an attack listed in your raws.

Oh wow, that's awesome! I dare say though, the miner has VERY large... Counterweights.
Also, i decided to make a horrible (i mean really, it's bad) sketch of typical dorf combat.


Obviously needs more blood to match the real thing, but hey. I made it in deviantArt Muro. I was going to use the ink tool, but then i saw how much worse it looked, and fell in love with the sketchy appearance.
Also yeah, i realize that the legs of the dorf are switched around. Blame my bad planning for that.
