With Toady's blessing, I have published some of my DF pictures in book form.
« on: December 18, 2013, 02:43:08 am »
About a month ago I did a series of DF pictures based on Edward Gorey's 'Gashlycrumb Tinies', entitled 'The Glimmercage Urists'. Some people suggested that it should be made into a book and, in my free time over the last week, I laid it out, and emailed Tarn to ask his permission, and whether he would like a cut of any profits. He graciously replied:

Yeah, you have our permission to sell such a book if you like. It would probably be good for us if you said that we don't get any money from it, so potential donors don't get confused, but it doesn't matter too much. We certainly don't require anything. You did plenty of work. Back when the pictures were first posted we had a little reading out loud in the living room as we admired them at the Adams family home.

So, if anyone would like to purchase it then, probably not quite in time for christmas, the link is here.

I couldn't help but have Creature Feature's "A Gorey Demise" stuck in my head when looking at these.
Amazing job!  :D

This is awesome.  My favorite part might be the mosiac on the wall of the W V one.

There is no W one.

There's no dwarf names beginning with W in the DF Language files. Nor ones beginning with H, J, P, Q, X or Y. I had to be creative and put thorn in as a letter to get 20.
