I know! He originally had huge boggly eyes that made him look even more like a frog, but then I remembered that DF cave fish are blind. I don't know how to tell if something is a frogman or a fishman without cutting it apart and seeing if it has gills.

NinjaE8825, if that is your real name:
Yeah, that looks good. Nice scene.

[Acanthus117]

I guess you have to give it gills, a fishy head, etc etc.

Nice work anyways. Wants me to try to contribute.

NINJAE8825: nice usage of purple and red in the scenery, their gloomy features really make the adamantine sword stand out

Fault, I really want to see you draw a strangler. They are the creepiest things in the game IMO.

I have a general request that I'd like to get several artistic impressions of.

I'm working on migrating my mod over to the new version, and I'm trying to decide exactly what the Sand Raiders are going to look like. Before I just sort of invisioned them always wrapped up in robes and head scarfs and whatnot, so I didn't have a clear idea of what they looked like underneath all that. So far I've decided that they have black to greyish skin and black or dark blue hair. But I need to differentiate them from humans a bit more.

So, please draw me your interpretation of Sand Raiders! They're mostly human sized, males are stronger than females but not as agile. They wear robes and other desert appropriate apparel and tend to use spears, scimitars, and bows and wear iron chain armor.

[Fault]

speaking of modding, I've been thinking of adding more creatures to the CREATURE_NEXT_UNDERGROUND file.
(I really want to make molten gold men...)
has anyone else modded new creatures into Dwarf Fortress 2010? creatures that would be interesting to draw, by any chance?

Fault, I really want to see you draw a strangler. They are the creepiest things in the game IMO.

NOTED. I'll have to look at the raws to draw one, I've never encountered any in-game

[shadow_archmagi]

And here I always thought goblins were gray with short, black hair...

Cute!

[warhammer651]

I always thought goblins were about the same size as humans or elves? I mean, they're just corrupted elves. seems like they would have the same size.

[Diablous]

According to the raws, Dwarves are size 6000. Humans 7000. Elves 6000. Goblins 6000.

[Karnewarrior]

short Elves???

So...yeah, Dwarves, Elves, and Goblins are all a good bit smaller than humans. But not so much that they'd seem to be children, I don't think.

Oddly, though none of them have anything that seems to actually make dwarves Stout compared to elves or goblins.

[Diablous]

ahort Elves???

Elves, Dwarves, and Goblins see eye to eye now, in a way.

[warhammer651]

...huh.

[NinjaE8825]

I don't know, if 70000 is twelve-years-old, 60000 sounds about right for a ten-year old. And yes, right now, goblins, dwarves and elves are the same size and can wear the same clothing.
Oh, and speaking of elves - this is Gica Avethololama Elí, which means something like "Gica the Bladed Desert Blossom".
Swordself extraordinaire, her exploits include dragonslaying, goblinslaying,

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

demonslaying (she's the adventurer in the HFS picture, and yes, she made it out again)

and lots n' lots of crundle-slaying. Currently retired, trying to figure out how to deal with the horrors she's unleashed upon an unsuspecting world whilst raising some kids she rescued from goblins.

Yeah...but they stop growing at 12 as far as the game is considered, so it's a bit wonky. Assuming an average human were 6' tall, an average goblin would be 5' 1" tall. So, short, but no worse then a lot of asians I know IRL.

Odd conversation...
