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.
Anyone?
http://www.google.com

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.

A lower jaw? Then... large lower jaws? It's plural...

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.

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.

Huh, I just looked at it, and there does seem to be a C, E, and T in there.

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.
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?

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)

EDIT: Oops, for some reason I didnt look at page 10 of this thread before posting this....

I tried drawing AB several times, but it's kind of hard to make a woodpecker look like a woodpecker if it doesn't have a beak. Heh.

So, here's Ceti instead.

I love the engravings in the background. :D

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.

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. :)

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

I'll try and draw something up, though dunno if I'll have much internet for a while! We'll see.
Loving the art so far! :)

*raspy zombie voice* Jooooiiin uuussss!

Yeah, I used this as a model, and that leg just really didn't make it. Also, the trees look like mushrooms and and... ok I drew it in 3 minutes while I was at work, and had to be careful none of my coworkers saw a huge T-Rex on my screen. ;)

In a hope to get people to post more drawings, good or awful, I will post my drawing that i spent about 40 minutes on, I really like the shading on the upper-lip of the dwarf on the right. (he's the only special one in the fort, I think ceti must have knocked his marbles about.)

NOW POST MORE DRAWINGS!
