Dwarf Engraves his engraving
« on: July 17, 2008, 01:44:20 pm »
I have a Legendary engraver who carved a Mastework wall design.  Then, two squares later, I guess inspired by how awesome his art was a second ago, he carved a picture of himself carving that Mastework carving, which was, in itself, also perfect.  Which I think might lead to a really really detailed russian-doll style affect: bug or intentional?

Man, that would be amazing, having a picture of yourself engraving yourself engraving yourself. :)

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

Only a dwarf's first masterpiece is considered a notable event. It'll be memorialised a few times, but you won't get a mass infinite recursion kind of thing.
