So I was reading through the new appearance data for dwarves (His very long hair is neatly combed, her eyes are chocolate, etc) and it got me thinking.

Portraits!
1) Take the data, by reading either a save or the game's memory.
2) Write a simple program to take the text and put together a portrait of the dwarf from various components, Identikit style.
3) ?
4) Profit!

The only problem is that I couldn't write such a program to save my life. Would anyone like to help me make this dream a reality?

Here's a quick sketch I did to give an idea of the general style I was thinking of.

Sounds freaking amazing, Wish I could help, but like you, I don't know squidly-dip about programming.

Somebody by the name of Kennel did make a dwarf portrait maker. Worth looking into for inspiration at least.

I've been beaten to it!

so, since we have dfhack, it is possible to load dwarves directly from DF

i try something with pydfhack but is lacks of dwarf details
