Started working on a megaproject. A tower full of murals depicting forum legends.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I made Sphalerite first. Marble and cobaltite.

Aussie, Kodkod, Girlinhat, and Loud whispers are next.
Assuming I get around to it.

Holy smokes, Batman, that's awesome. Is this tower going to be used for anything specific or is it primarily for show? It sounds complicated, plixelated pictures like some avatars are one thing, but I wish you luck with making a Fennec fox, et alles.

I'm a legend, though? Damn, I work fast.

[Schizotek]

Well, at the very least very well known and currently active.

[KodKod]

Really though, I am interested to know how you're going to approach avatars such as Loud Whispers' and Girlinhat's. They seem rather intricate for Dwarf Fortress alone.

[Talvieno]

Awesome work with Sphalerite's! Looking forwards to seeing the rest of them.

I'm most curious about how you'll overcome Loud Whisper's shapeshifting habits... And this thread reminds me again that I still need an avatar.

[Schizotek]

Loud whisper shape-shifts?
*Checks* So it does.
Experimenting with Girlinhats pixel-schematic right now. And I think I'll make hers slightly larger and in the basement. Its simply too detailed for a 50x50. Especially with the limited color scheme. Edit: Got it to work right with a 75x75 I believe. But I think I'll leave hers and whispers for last, and do aussie and kod's first. By which I mean I'll work on them WAY later tonight cuz that shit makes the eyes bleed if you work on it for too long.

[PoodleIncident]

Hatches, linked to water logic based on time of day. That'll get you a shapeshifting loudwhispers.

I need to upload my avater too...

Well, you're loud (in terms of volume or posts) and opinionated, and you have a very recognizable avatar (or three), so you get noticed a lot.

I guess I gotta get myself an avatar someday, so people will notice me.

I notice you. lol   The only reason I don't have an avatar is that I have no idea what would "fit" me.

It's always interesting how much whether your considered a "legend" is dependent upon how loud/rememberable you are.

There's a bunch of people like KodKod who are very vocal and are fall into the forum "legend" category yet usually only have a thousand or so posts and have only been around for a year or two. Then there's the group of old timers that are a bit quieter yet have been around since 2008 or earlier.

It's just always interesting who the forum elects to elevate.

As a side note I've tended to notice that those who the forums elect to elevate tend to be very active either in the Dwarf Mode Discussion or the General Discussion forums, or they tend to operate their own large mod (Deon for example). Those who tend to post in the Gameplay Questions or Modding Forum (without large mods of their own) tend to remain fairly anonymous.

Indeed

[kronith]

awesome picture, this i will watch with exuberance and im looking forward to how you deal with girlinhats avatar as well

I agree with this..... Honestly I would consider Mitchewawa, NW_Kohaku, Quietust and a few others as forum legends... Or perhaps a better term would be "DF legends", as they've done noteworthy !!SCIENCE!!. I agree with Sphaelerite, ThatAussieGuy and Girlinhat being in the list, though.

I know I'm not that special (except for being insane), but if you want, mine should be easy to do. It's only 6 colors.

I imagine you as a blond girlish boy figure.
