Heh, I wish I could make a "quick" drawing with this caliber of quality (I can barely draw stickmen straight) - great work!

Everyone's good at something.

I'd think I'm good enough at making freakish abominations - atleast in DF I don't have to draw them and can rely on descriptions and body parts.

Piware, a very pretty towering quadruped composed of snow. It has large mandibles and it undulates rhythmically. 1 hour speedpainting.

I really love the landscape in this one - makes the titan seem even more humongous.

It should be about the right size for an apatosaurus.

Snodub Sposnusmunstu, a great quadruped composed of water. It has wings and it undulates rhythmically. Beware its deadly spittle!

And people thought sharks were a reason to stay out of the water!

That'd be pretty terrifying to encounter - imagine sitting at a lake when the water suddenly starts bubbling and moving on its own, before taking that shape. Would actually be a neat function if implemented, now that I think about it.

It would be really cool if that encounter mechanic ended up in the magic/creation myths arc. It would probably require multi-tile creatures support but then hills could literally have eyes.

Just finished drawing Morul Cattenmat, the Most Interesting Dwarf in the World for my DF art Patreon.

Some groundwork for creatures that pretend to be something else could definitely be used for single-tile creatures as well - mimics, possessed furniture that only becomes hostile when someone approaches or blood men pretending to be a pool of blood until approached.

Definitely can't wait to see the full piece - looking really awesome. I've never played the 40d version that Morul was from - kinda odd seeing some of the stuff that got changed since then, skills boosting attributes particularly.

Just posted the full version!

This really gives off a "portrait of a renaissance man" vibe to me - great work!

This is the thread that keeps on giving.

Congratulations on your excellent job, Mechlin, please keep bringing your wonderful artwork to the forums.

@Mechlin Apologies for necro (not sure if you're still active or on Reddit, so...felt I should inform you that your 'Cacame Awemedinade' piece has been...kobolded, perhaps?) (https://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/111v85v/i_feel_like_i_should_bring_to_your_attention_that/)
