AAAh, thank you. On a side notice, the baby-problem in one of my fortresses is become quite big. They don't care about the baby-cap because they are nasty creatures peforming orgies in the meeting halls at all possible moments for some reason. ( Dem dorfs man...

You can always mod them to age faster.
But I think that requires a new world gen.

Cacame, Cacame, Cacame!

[Krall]

Hey, does anyone have an in-game description of Cacame? I'm drawing a picture of him and I want to make it as accurate as possible.

[Karnewarrior]

Unfortunately, this was before descriptions. However some amount of facts were unofficially agreed upon.

1: Cacame was blonde
2: Cacame did not have a beard, however would occasionally wear a fake one. It was prone to falling off, and stopped.
3: Cacame's ears pointed back, rather than to the sides.
4: Cacame was often depicted as lithe, like his elven heritage. This did not diminish his strength.

1: Cacame was blonde

According to Holy Mittens's stories and Fault's artwork, Cacame was actually dark-haired.

His hair was a color so dark it was called black by any but the most discerning of eyes, so it shall be called black here.

[Karnewarrior]

Huh. 

Must have missed that on my rereading, somehow.

Cacame doesn't have much color art of him with hair save some of the early work by Vester, and he's blonde in that, so I guess that's where I got it from.

Ah, okay. I'm doing a pencil sketch of him, so hair colour doesn't really matter too much (though I was imagining him blonde), but what I've done already either complies to this criteria or avoids contradicting it (he's lithe, and his hair hides his ears), with the exception of the fake beard. See, recently I read a story concerning the legendary foundation of the Lombards (an ancient Germanic tribe) in which women braided their long hair in front of their face in order to look like beards - I thought it would be cool if Cacame did the same. Admittedly it's not very convincing, but having a beard is an important part of dorfiness.

He actually sounds like a pretty Dwarfy elf; his family being eaten alive by other elves lends him a pretty awesome backstory and undying hate for elves. Build him a nice little house out of wood wherever he ends up on the field and post a permanent military squad there to defend him from other elves.

I agree. He sounds like a pretty sweet character.

That sounds pretty god damn sweet, even making it original by using the German hair-beard-idea. Although I don't think that his hair should cover the ears, as those are what gives away that he is an elf and not some random human, incapable of growing a beard. But as an artist, you choose these things yourself.
Really looking forward to see it though!

Thanks!

Here's what I've done so far. I'm not sure I like it - his proportions are a bit weird, I tried giving him feminine facial features but it didn't really work out, I don't really like his clothes, and his hair-beard doesn't look enough like a beard.



I think I'll give it another go with a more dynamic pose.

[Karnewarrior]

Needs more unbridled testosterone, I think.

Maybe have him holding a kobold heart... in front of it's owner.

Also he needs a huge hammer, not to compensate for his inadequacy but for everyone elses compared to him.

Not sure about the testosterone, but the heart thing sounds cool. I'm keeping the hammer a realistic size, though - I really don't like ridiculously oversized hammers; they just look cartoonish.

2nded, Cacame wouldn't be wielding some low quality poverty-hammer. Give him the real shit! http://images.wikia.com/pjdf/images/2/2f/Warhammer_render.jpg This looks more like what Cacame would use, although sadly, I'm pretty sure the lore only allows him one of them...
Other than that it looks pretty sweet, maybe a bit more cheekbones to make him look more manly? As he was;

a pretty Dwarfy elf

Drawing Cacame ? Well, you must draw him in Frank Frazetta style, of course !
