.O.!!!  Isn't he the main character?

I'm glad to see so much new stuff in here. I don't have anything new, but here is that goblin: 
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

She is posing in order to depict as much of her armor as possible.  The idea isn't really complete yet.  I'm having trouble working out how the ears will fit in a helmet, and whether it's worth trading coverage for ventilation.  Based on what I've read, and experienced, armor doesn't really slow people down. It does interfere with perception (helmets and gloves/gauntlets) and heat dissipation, though.  I was trying to work out a compromise.  I'm guessing that the more chaotic the fight is, the more coverage you will need.  When you can see attacks coming, they can be avoided, but if your senses are overwhelmed, armor will likely be the only defense.  I haven't decided if I want to do long noses, or not.

Also, my monitor settings seem to be kind of wonky.  Sometimes the brightness, contrast, and color are very different from other times.  The picture is much brighter, and less blue than I remember.

I just like the grungy expression of the goblin under its ragged hair. Goblins often siege your fort wearing extraneous amounts of clothing and armor, even masks and caps under their helms, with mittens under their gauntlets. It's really more artistic license or gaminess than realism, especially when the upcoming military and trade arcs in DF are likely to mean that later goblin sieges will have less armor or clothing on their troops anyways.

mittens and caps under their armor

now I can't stop picturing that every badass goblin soldier has comfy winter wear on underneath their plate mail

look at that goblin and notice one simple flaw.
she can't be all that conferrable in high heels.

also she a nice candidate for the Goblin rescue squad.

It's okay, like many goblins, she's a masochist. If it doesn't hurt, then it doesn't count.

she would more likely trip onto a cage trap and be put to work on the dwarven streets by a dwarven pimp.
then she will learn to charge in those heels.

I remain unrepentantly attracted to her. I thus demand more. I am now modifying my image of goblins to all look like her, delightfully androgynous males and those females. Which is lovely. They're also violent, brutal and psychotic, which is a little less attractive.
This exactly kind IS attractive to some people. Disturbing and hilarious.

Could you make one of her wrestling with that dwarf?  (The one you thought was a little off.)
Nooo, draw her wrestling another goblin... Whilst trapped in a murky(muddy) pool! xD

Man, there is some awesome art in this thread. Of course, I especially love the goblins... So green and nasty!
Oh and Fault: I thought your drawings of the goblins themselves were amazing enough, but that armour... Just wow!
I'm going to go check the last several pages now. :D

What if dwarves had crystals for beards?  Here's a quick concept sketch exploring this weird idea.



Great pics, guys.

Wow, good memory.  I uploaded a similar picture many months ago.  I hoped no one would remember.

Dwarves with crystal beards are my secret fetish.  Now you know my shame.

*appropriate levels of horror*

Still, it remains a cool idea. Nicely rendered, too. c:
