Roll back to before Taupe's disastrous turn

Keep going and see what happens

Let it die

[Mr Frog]

It's the dreaded Slendarchivist, one of the Archivist's many long-forgotten experiments. This fell being is known to silently stalk people who stray into the woods at night, quietly following them everywhere they go, closer and closer, watching and waiting, until finally, one day, they wake up... and it's staring through the window, its ashen face dyed red... and...

Spoiler: AND... AND... (click to show/hide)

ALL THEIR TOMATO SOUP IS GONE!!!

And then a skeleton pops out.

In all seriousness, maybe making the couch a bit deeper would let you make her body a bit wider/shorter and her head less tiny.

[Monitor Lisard]

I actually wanted to add The Couch to my picture, right behind the Archivist. Also, that red-haired lady was my rendition of the Vampire Queen. Tomato vampire queen.

This is probably happening in the universe where vampires feed on tomatoes, and Goblin Claus exists.

I will keep that in mind when I get a hold of my proper drawing supplies :3~<
Could even actually bring it to proper linework rather than just the sketch

Heh, I wasn't ready for her just sleeping casually on a sofa. Keep up the good work!

I'm actually drawing this very plot right now... And it features traces of mild NSFW. Very mild, but I'm still asking Mr Frog if it is acceptable here, even in ironic sense.

Also, I kind of fucked it up by reinforcing my linework with a usual pen. Now the Archivist looks like a bobblehead, and I can't do anything with it... Without using the computer.

If I set the right angle with my camera, though...

[Dumbestdorf]

Posting to watch.

As far as NSFW stuff goes... as long as it's tasteful I'm personally okay with it, but I'm pretty sure Toady's pretty strict about sexual content on this forum (unless that changed when I wasn't looking, lol), so I'm going to err on the safe side and say no, don't post.

Blackwood drawing is 95% done, but I'm pretty busy today so I won't be able to finish it until later tonight.

[ImagoDeo]

I'm about to download the save and fire it up. Won't be able to play tonight, seeing as I've gotta be up at my normal time tomorrow, but I'll post a preliminary OOC update on the general status of all the things tomorrow evening.

PREPARE FOR THE REIGN OF TANKARD.

Groovalicious. Dis gon' be good.

And honestly as far as OOC updates go, the more the better. It lets everyone get involved with your playthrough and make commentary and stuff.

Got distracted by Mario Maker, so no Blackie drawing for now. Sorry!

[Monitor Lisard]

@Mr Frog

Welp, I think it would be fine if I posted a link here, so if anyone's interested...

I have one thing in common with Blackie - we both can't draw for shit.

Spoiler: I dunno what to call this piece. (click to show/hide)

In any case, it's me that will be gettin' screwed by the mods, lol.

Also, next time I'm writing something closer-related to Clobbermountains. Something featuring His Exellence.

[Lolfail0009]

That's a pretty darn good piece, ML

[mikethete]

Wait, why have we not made an incinerator to depose of undesirables corpses?

Because we have an open volcano to pitch things in. People and animals included.

Wrapping my head around this is rather difficult. I'll try to organize everything and make my preliminary update tomorrow. It'll be in-character.

For now, it seems we've got random goblins and ogres in random cages; we have blood all over the main entrance; we have massive stockpiles everywhere with all kinds of random junk in them; we have dozens of dwarves with skills completely un-optimized; and we have constant assaults from banshees and spawn and goblins. Most of the organizing will be second-nature to me and I'll just have to sort out all of the various routes and zones and burrows and task designations manually. Handling the military will be more difficult. Defending against sieges may be impossible if I can't sort out entrances and security points and such. Reviewing past updates won't be that helpful since a lot of this wasn't documented in screenshots.

I'm going to be thorough with screenshots. Can't abide it when people don't show what's going on. I might try for some kind of major project - no guarantees or details until the time comes.

As for the whole 'Tankard' thing - that's my dorf's name. I'll be selecting him based on prefs and personality and such from among available dwarves. I hope you're all looking forward to this - I finally caught a big space of time to cool off for a weekend from all the homework.

We'll have to make suitable upgrades to our arena now that we're the new seat of absolute power and righteous justice in the Lash. I'm sure His Gaudiness is missing his precious, precious Pit.

Also, make sure to dorf Lolfail and Melkor if that hasn't happened yet.

[Mr Frog]

Also, I have a present for @Monitor_Lisard:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Reaaaally don't like how the full-body sketch turned out, and I didn't have much to go on re: his face except "handsome", and I'm not good at handsome, lol. Also, by the time Mon drew him from the front I'd already grown attached to the design I'm using here, lol.

I still think the armor's a bit silly, but it was really fun to draw and also something a bit outside what I normally draw, so that's good.

E: Here's the description on my DeviantArt in case Mon wants to add/change something:

"The Slinking Shadow, Blackwood (sketch)"

A character from Clobbermountains, an LP/RP I'm hosting on the Bay 12 forums. This one's not actually my character, but their owner's written a buttload of stuff for the thread so I decided to draw their primary character for them. He's a mysterious elf vampire with mysterious motives, mysterious powers, and a mysterious past, employed for mysterious ends by His Excellence (no relation to His Gaudiness). How mysterious!

Let this be a lesson to y'all: if you write us lots of stories, you just might get free art. Of dubious quality. But free!

E2: Okay, DeviantArt is not cooperating with me and keeps submitting my art to my "sta.ash" (whatever the holy fuck that is) instead of my actual gallery. Don't feel like putting too much effort into fixing that right now, so if the image doesn't display it probably has something to do with that.

E3: Fixed it.

E4: Also, while I'm tangentially on the subject, quick word of advice to Monitor_Lisard regarding their next story piece: since this is (I think?) going to be His Excellence's first appearance, make sure to put lots and lots of thought into everything, even mundane stuff! This is basically worldbuilding we're doing here and every bit of research you do and every detail about the characters and setting that you work out in your head will show through in the finished product and give it life.
