Mosaic Ideas
« on: July 16, 2009, 09:54:43 am »

I've got a nice 12 year fort going, with a nifty castle on the surface...

Anyway I've got some Cinnabar and Cobalt to use... any ideas?

the moment I saw the name of this topic I decided to build a grand room for a noble, with smoothed stone, engravings, and then a mosaic of floor tiles in the shape of a dwarf face in different substances. I'm going to use microcline for the eyes, chalk for the eyeballs, granite for the beard and hair, and probably use some of platinum or iron for the face.

Thanks for the idea

I agree with Urist. Steampunk is like Darth Vader winning Holland's Next Top Model. It would be awesome but not something I'd like in this game.
Unfortunately dying involves the amputation of the entire body from the dwarf.

Maybe I can make a huge H, and make it look like my fortress has a Helopad... but that would be boring

I know... A dwarf laying prone on a bed of shrooms and booze reaching out to touch fingers with a Giant toad in the sky surrounded by flying tail-less kittens.

Given red and blue, and your avatar - and if you had some yellow... a giant superman "S"?

(Either that or a large elephant and donkey...)

Then again... This might end up looking like Jim Henson reaching out to pull Kermit the Frog's finger...

You, sir, paint a vivid picture.

Thanks for that...  now I have the image of Urist McBooger walking up to me with a creepy smile and asking me if I want a "dwarven shower".

I have an idea. Ever play Double Dragon? I think you can possibly replicate the title screen picture. Here's a picture of it from the Sega Master System version.
