Artifacts Sketched
« on: May 28, 2008, 01:44:00 am »
I've always tried to imagine how dwarven artifacts would look for real, so I did a couple of quick drawings of ones from my current fortress. I'm waiting for my dwarves to chuck out something a little more expensive, though.

Edit: Since the forum migration, the images here disappeared. So to see them, please visit my gallery. :)

I once shot a bear in the eye with a bow on the first shot, cut it up, found another one, and shot it in the eye too. The collective pile of meat weighed more than my house.

They don't call it Spattertrue for nothing - slash, stab, and top it all off with a warm flask of blood.  :D

Just got a new one. I've never seen a bone sword before, so I thought it was worth a sketch.

This is a turtle bone short sword. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is encircled with bands of turtle bone and Microcline. This object menaces with spikes of Platinum. On the item is an image of a short sword in turtle shell.

Agreed, those look really nice. Someone take up the challenge of drawing The Captain's cabinet?

Man, those are lovely.

The cabinet Bullion mentions may be described as:

"It sat there, a Gabbro cabinet. Encrusted with gabbro, and clear tourmaline, studded with bismuth and encircled with bands of onyx, zinc and turtle shell. It stood adorned with hanging rings of onyx.
An image, engraved in trifle pewter, decorated the door, it pictured an image of humans speaking with we dwarves (clearly a picture of myself trading.)

I looked at my notes, and the name Kal Berim stood out. "The Smiles of Artifice.""

Also, to repeat: Those are really really good sketches.

wow, those are great - I love how you made all the crazy decorations the dwarves put on there actually make sense and look good.

How did you get the stuff you drew onto the computer?  I can draw pretty well too.

t''s so sad.  It''s as if De Beers as invaded Dwarf Fortress.  I nearly cried when I saw how valued and rare diamonds were in Dwarf Fortress.

How do I get a God of blood title above my baywatcher thing?
