Anytime, Hans. I've spent far too much time reading books to let my stupidly stupendous vocabulary go to waste.

Why yes, my ego is fine.

And since you asked so nicely... I'm currently working on some more art. I have a rough sketch, but I figure I may as well go the whole hog and paint it.

You're actually trying to stay alive rather than screw over Overseer (N+1) - and yet everything's still going to pot. The game is actively defying your attempts to force order on this hellhole.
I'm nominating this for the quotes section, if anyone will second it.

Seconding it. Seriously need to get caught up with this :-\

Niccolo's engravings menace with spikes of cool and funny. :D

And this
You're actually trying to stay alive rather than screw over Overseer (N+1) - and yet everything's still going to pot. The game is actively defying your attempts to force order on this hellhole.
pretty concisely sums up Spearbreakers. "Whew, back from the brink..." --> ‼Fun‼ ensues.

Another vote for keeping in 34.07, trying to work minecarts and what-have-you into the existing fort would be too much of a hassle.
OTOH, proper density for pitchblende would make for some kick-ass rock hammers. Oh well, maybe in the eventual sequel...

Certainly you could argue that DF is a lot like The Sims, only... you know... with more vomit and decapitation.
If you launch a wooden mine cart towards the ocean at a sufficient speed, you can have your entire dwarf sail away in an ark.

Why, thank you! This next one's not so much funny as... disturbing, though.


Yeah, these bastards were in my nightmares a few nights ago. So now y'all can have a serving of my interpretation of the Spawn.

That looks alot like The Rake.

Also I imagined them as more dwarf sized.

I've never heard of The Rake.

And I was thinking of making them more Dwarf-sized, but that just made them less scary. It seems somehow right to me that the changing process stretches and contorts them.

The worst part about painting that thing, though, was using actual corpses as colour reference. <.< That was not my most fun research.

EDIT: Holy crap, you're right. It looks incredibly similar to The Rake (Thank you Creepypasta!) Buuuut there are some differences, thankfully - for one, the Rake doesn't appear to have arms about three times as long as they should be.

Huh.

I guess when you go to draw something scary yet humanoid, everyone'll eventually get to the same conclusions.

I imagined a dwarf sized thing with leathery skin, a pale excuse of a beard, and it bieng one messy jaw, starting from the split jaw of the skull down to the belly button with 3-5 talons on each hand and having featurless leathery stumps for feet.

actually, the talons should be large and unwieldy yet incredibly sharp. one of the key things about the spawn in syrupleaf was their dreaded claws

These spawn have aready established themselves as different from the legends of the place the dwarves call Everoc. Mayby more rough boney crab-ish claws?

Crab-ish as in pincers, or just big and jagged claws? I'm thinking that with a tongue and mouths like that, the claws have become a bit secondary.  Do the spawn kill more with their claws or by biting?

I like that with biting, you can bite with each set of teeth onto a different part of the enemies body, meaning everything big has hideous, eldritch abomination mouths with independantly mobile mandibles.

Sort of like pincers, but with leathery burnt looking hide instead of shell.

And I think they kill more with c;awing, severing limbs and whatnot.
