Neoskel's Dwarf Fortress sketches
« on: July 17, 2008, 10:30:38 pm »

I intend to put whatever things i draw inspired by Dwarf Fortress in this thread.

So heres two tower-caps (you may have already seen this in my civ/group image thread in the dwarf mode forum. I'm not going to post the other civ/group images here unless they include things unique to DF.)



And the three 'aligned' gnawing vermin:

 I like that Rhino-Lizard-on-fish action. Both in the dirty and clean senses.

 I'm not sure if this makes me like my own sketches more, or dislike yours more. I do a little work, and I have a crippling sense of failure in my artistic creations.

 But I must say, relations to my art style aside, it's great. Now if you update it weekly, you are ahead of quite a bit of the internet.

I like the lizard and the wambler, but I don't care too much for the demon rat. =/

And the fish. I like that too. XD

Not enough fluff on the wambler, but that's just my own opinion.

Sweet tower caps. :D

 Two legs, two arms.

 Doesn't Spore teach you young people anything these days?

Sure it's an arm. An arm is a type of leg. Humans are four legged as well: any counterargument is just posturing.

Wrong. An arm is not a leg. They're both subsets of the limb category. As in, an arm is a limb, and a leg is also a limb. I think you have limb and leg mixed up.

And funnily enough, posture is a counterargument to the 'arms are legs' argument.  :D

I always imagined TLRLs as running around like little two-legged dinosaurs, i'm sorry if i didn't make it clear enough.

And thanks for the replies guys. I'll try and draw something DF related as regularly as possible to keep this thread going.  ;) BTW, any requests?

Oh, cool!  I've wanted a mental image to put to fluffy wamblers forever!  Thanks :)
