Very nice. If you made a cat-related wallpaper it'd be on my desktop in seconds.

Hm, the beak dog, and especially the dark fortress looks a bit weird, but it's a nice wallpaper regardless. Thanks.  :)

Yeah, it wasn't coming out the way I wanted and gradually lost motivation to touch it. :|

Someone's been reading the NSFW goblin thread. ;D

Let's see, well I imagine beakdogs as somewhat more differnt that that, but it's a fantastic design either way although its hard to imagine how a gobo would ride that, the dark fort is also somewhat confusing, it's not bad, but they are made of obsidian, you do know what obsidian is right?

Anyway, it's +Wall paper+.

I imagine beak dogs with blue feathers for some reason.

I imagine beakdogs as slightly larger dogs with bird like features, but not feathers.


Beak, ummmmmmmmm......beak.

I doubted my beak dog or dark fortress would look anything like what other people have in their heads, this is an ASCII game after all.

Yes, I know what obsidian is, and what it looks like, I just wanted to take it in a different direction. Since demons usually inhabit them I wanted to show that visually, so I decided to make the fortress appear as if it's still "cooling down" in some areas.

I understand that, but the problem is these are goblins, just because they're ruled by a demon dosn't mean their forts look like somewhat uninhabitle mountain structures, yours looks more like some sort of bizaro dwarfs fort, or that place in lord of the rings, I forget what it's called, but it's the place where someguy, and his orcs live, except jutted into the air.

Also I imagine beak dogs as having longer necks, and more teeth, but either way it only slightly differs from your design. Heres the raw for it, I'm sure you looked at it though, since you put it as a humanoid.

Looking even more like Tartakovsky's work, which is great.

I seem to remember that someone asked Toady what a beakdog was and he said he pictured them as velociraptor like creatures.  I might have that wrong, or the source was.
