[Vester]

he only has one bracelet?
usually when I see them they're covered in dwarf leather decorations and elf bone piercings..

Really? Usually when I see them I'm all "OH GOD IT BURNS" (I've never seen one in fort mode).

Actually I think I had a demon in one of my worlds with only two kills to his name, one of which was a goblin. I'm assuming he's the one I drew.

He may, of course, be pulling the End the World lever.

Haha, that made me laugh.  Thanks for the kind words.  

whoa, balathastrius, nice work on the beard, it really flows

Thankya.

That mirthfull dwarf looks like it is molded from clay, very nicely done.
You use the 'wetfinger drag' tool much?

Thanks.  Hmm, no wetfinger drag tool, no.  I don't actually know what that is (I'm almost a total photoshop newb).  It's just the hard round brush with opacity set to pen pressure (and a quick custom brush to render the hair faster).

He was actually part of a bigger picture; me practicing faces and such.  Here it is, if anyone wants to see the others.

Some of these suck and/or are unfinished, obviously. 

Edit:

Drawing of a Demon and Frog Demon

That is quite good, esp the frog demon.  Good sense of anatomy.  I would say you have definite talent; keep drawing!

You deserve kind words, because you have given our eyes something nice to look at.

Also, that face study is incredible, especially that guy with the triple-segmented jaws and pipe into his head.

And: thanks. I need to work on actually getting a sense of lighting and perspective, though.

[LegoLord]

Demons don't have decorations when they come out of the pit, as they are new to the world.

[Itnetlolor]

Holy crap! Amazing work with the face study.

I'm not the best at rendering faces, even something as simple as anime/manga style. I'm more into the mechanical aspect of things. In other words, I'm pretty good at rendering machines or bastardizations of nature. I'm impressed with the quality however. I wish I had that level of talent in that field.

You know, if I have the time, I'll try to render what I truly envision my project to look like. I mean, as far as my talent can go, it might look pretty cool. Plus, I need to add more life to my machine designs for a sense of scale and whatnot. Too many of them look like ghost ships and etc..

BTW, it's about time I draw something again anyhow. And with more adequate detail too. Enough quick scribbling of ideas.

While that is an awesome picture, how the feckdamn did it come from trying to make a monocle?

Yes, that is an awesome not-a-monocle. 

Here's another Chasm creature..
The wiki says these guys aren't dangerous, but they keep ganging up and killing my dwarves' children...

That is a great depiction.  Does the wiki really say they're not dangerous?  God, I hate troglodytes.  The Dwarf Heaven map is infested with them.

Here's a happy dwarf.

Knowing dwarves, he's probably attending another fucking party. 

I still feel overjoyed everytime someone mentions how rage they get at Dwarf Heaven. I'm a bastard just for genning it.

[Sensei]

I call it 'grass is never green' syndrome. If they spend a lot of time somewhere or with something, they will complain about whatever problems it has, just as much as they would a more serious problem somewhere else, even if in the presence of the latter such problems they would never complain about the former.

Urist McEverydwarf has been unhappy lately. He has "accidentally" killed a noble recently. He has lost a fort recently. He has endured a goblin siege lately. He has failed to sleep due to Dwarf Fortress recently. He has seen Elven King art recently. He has seen the Fan Art thread recently. He has seen masterful art recently. He has not seen new art from Vester recently. He has not seen new art from Balathustrius recently.

Urist McEverydwarf has made a new mandate.

Urist McEverydwarf:

Mandate: New art in the Fan Art thread (*/*)

[Vester]

This is an engraving of Cacame Awemedinade the Elf and Longshanks the Tower of Abbeys the Oak Tree. Cacame Awemedinade is spitting in the face of everything Elven. Longshanks the Tower of Abbeys is making a planitive gesture.



That's right. He's so badass he chops trees with a blunt weapon.

Also:
Cacame Awemedinade cancels being an Elf: Learning to be Dwarfy.

[Labs]

But where's his dwarfy armor? He's the king you know.

[Vester]

But where's his dwarfy armor? He's the king you know.

Apparently, he wears Artifact Golden Briefs.

[JoshuaFH]

Where did you learn how to draw Vester? I really like your style.

[Winterbrass]

Now that is more like it!

...

If there was a long-running DF webcomic, King Awemedinade would definitely either have to be a main character or an oft-recurring gag character.

[Vester]

I'm self-taught, but nowhere near as good as Balathustrius over there. I don't have any solid skills, yet.

Now that is more like it!

Hmm...

Tempted to rally the forum's engravers together to get to work on something like that.

Naah, I'll leave it to someone who's been here longer than me.

Mandate: DF comic to replace Strike the Earth (1/1)

[Labs]

Oh god! He's mandating things! Winterbrass come over here and pull this lever. Ignore the warm floodgate, it's the new heating system.
 
But seriously, this comic idea sounds great and I would contribute if I could draw. I can offer my writing skills.

*pulls lever*

OH GOD LAVA WHY

*gets slightly singed and catches on fire*

... I think I'll have a drink.
