I've got a rather difficult one.

In one of my earlier fortresses I had a horrible streak of unicorns killing dwarves.
This lead to all my engravings depicting unicorns killing or laughing at dwarves wile they whimper. At the same time many of the dwarves went crazy from dear friends being slaughtered by the one horned equine menace.

Here's what resulted.

I engraved my entire legendary dining room with the unicorns triumph. Many of the ones that went berserk were captured in the many cages that littered my fortress. I then 'b'uilt those cages into my dining room to make a zoo of berserk dwarves along with some of the more notable unicorns that I caught (a.k.a. the ones that were named).

In doing so I made the most horrific thing I've ever imagined in Dwarf Fortress and I'm greatly proud of it. I wish I had only waited later in that fortress to engrave the dining room. I had killed off about 20 puppies for food and started getting screaming puppies engravings. Would have added to the ambiance of the dining room.

I can understand if this is far to complex for a simple sketch but I've been wanting to depict this dining hall of misery for a long time now. Thanks in advance.

Right. I'm going to be out of town for the weekend, and so I'm posting all sorts of stuff. Mostly, it's from other threads, but some of it's new material, or old requests I never got around to. Make lots of requests while I'm gone.

This is the early days of Mirgrurset. Bigmcstrongmuscle's dwarf is now an axe-champion.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
More Mirgrurset. This time, it's even earlier: When the fortress was being named.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
This is a comic I did for another thread.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
This is Stravitch, also from Mirgrurset. He does bad things.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
This one is a bunch of artifacts from the "Worst artifacts evar" thread. I'm just pointing out that an artifact is awesome no matter what it is...unless it's a woodcraft.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
This is the first one I did for the forum. It's Mirgrurset, obviously, and it's the scene where Rice and Sgt. Pepper kill a giant zombie scorpion. See crowning moment of awesome on TV tropes.

This is a screenshot from a failed X-com metagame/let's play thingy.

This is a sketch of the four major races. I'll do a kobald adventurer later if you guys want me to.

Captain Ironblood. Yeah.

Post seperation for the image limit.

Here I break the fourth wall. Or at least, somebody does.

The hellephant. I'm not good at drawing elephants, so it was a challenge.

HFS SPOILER LOL!

Viola, one champion sworddwarf in artifact equiptment.

Drawing insane dwarves is very theraputic.

My character from a game of traveller. He's the rifle-gronk.

And that's it for this morning. I might get one or two done if there are any requests before I leave this afternoon.

How do you avoid having the light of the scanner reflect off of the pencil markings?  Or do I just have a crappy scanner?

No particular request, but I would certainly like to see even more Migrursut-related stuff.

On the subject of woodcraft artifacts that are decidedly not-awesome, I got a wooden blowgun that took my last 3 logs.
I should have let that dang bowyer go insane.

Could you draw a dwarf in full exceptional steel plate mail wielding two hammers beating the crap out of an entire legion of goblins with an arrow sticking out of his left lung? It would be a great honor to Hammertime, who was recently forcefully retired beating back a squad of goblin bowmen.

Here's a simple one: Two dwarf miners striking the earth for the first time as a fortress is just started, with a wagon in the background. and the other five dwarves around it.

A mad (melancholic) dwarf trying and failing to drown himself in the meeting-hall/statue garden's pond.  For months.

I'd like to see your take on this:

Twelve goblins, all on beak dogs, wielding spears and being led by a swordsman. The leader is getting run through by a ballista bolt and they are all charging down a narrow canyon being peppered by marksdwarf fire. Also, there're two soapmakers in their path(they wanted some socks or somesuch).

Hey!

I'd like to see you converting this (Mc Doomhammer's sig) into a sketch:

"KILL, KILL, KILL! NOTHING SHALL STAND BETWEEN US AND THE CEREAL BAR!"

I *always* have to laugh when I read this and a little pic forms in my mind. So I'd simply love to see this sketched. :)
