Statues? AWESOME.
Edit: Will statues have symbols assosciated with them based on what they represent? I.E. "d" for dog statues?
I sure hope not. I despise the look of engravings, already.
They probably won't. If you look into the picture you can see five or so statues standing next to the workshop and they all use the basic tile. So unless they were all randomly, statues of statues, then it probably won't.

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

Well treat me like the sea oh so salty and mean, A-ha-ha! A-ha-ha!
Let's shake hands if you want but soon both hands are gone, A-ha-ha!
Cut me down like a tree like the lumber or weeds, well discard who you please like the leaves off a tree. Drag me out of the sea and then teach me to breath. Give me forced health till I wish death on myself. Ah! Ha! Ha!

Statue of a statue of a statue of a statue of a statue of a statue of a statue of a statue of a statue.

Given the dwarven proclivity for celibrating the creation of their artifacts by putting images of the artifact on itself, this isn't too far fetched.

This is a ArgleBargle, a statue of ArgleBargle.

statues of statues

Haha, I wonder if this case was specifically prevented or not.

Also, hooray for proper use/disuse of the article "a" with regard to singular/plural.  Now we just need that for common/proper nouns in the item description paragraph.

Firstly, statues of clouds are awesome.  Secondly, statues of tentacle demons are awesomer.  Thirdly, I want to see an artifact statue of a statue.

Only vaguely. Made of the same substance and put to the same use, but a bit like comparing a castle and a doublewide trailer.

This is a bituminous coal statue of a dwarf. The dwarf is burning.
This is a raw adamantine statue of a spirit of fire. The spirit of fire is making a plaintive gesture.
This is a bronze statue of a bronze colossus.

Would a statue of a statue be a plinth on a plinth?

If that were true the release date would be about 2050

People need to stop asking. It will be done when Toady finishes it.

I'm getting the feeling that picture and the two hours of work that went into it only occurred for laughs and to show me up, and that Toady really hadn't planned to do anything with statues for the time being, but is now dreading that he's chained himself to it for the big release.  Hopefully this is just my giant douchebag ego talking again and he was actually working on artwork issues anyway.

Toady mentioned that he wanted to have statues like this as an adjunct to the new Happy Fun Stuff, so no need to get too carried away here...

Question that just occurred to me - do castes apply to non-entity creatures like wildlife and stuff?

And an addition to this question - if I have a creature that is normally just wildlife but has a chance to give birth to a megabeast-level caste of itself, is this going to cause the game to crash horribly?
