Randomized Titans and Forgotten Beasts
« on: January 17, 2010, 03:09:20 am »

Toady: Please post more screenshots of titans/forgotten beasts! It makes waiting and speculating a bit more fun.



I made this for a different forum, though I thought it would seem relevant if I posted it with this quote.
Also, if anyone has an idea for a titan/forgotten beast that I could make, I could use the practice.

Abculatter:

SSHHHHHHHH!
Start a new thread for that and spoiler it. I want to see what you come up with.

Here's a request for ya:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Post your ideas for randomized titans/forgotten beasts, and I may draw them. Maybe. Probably.

The initial sketch of PTTG's request, shading to come:

I also named it Jigglebottom, Hell-Screamer of the Nasty Points.

It has 3 legs.
The legs are that of an eagle.
The body is that of a pygmy cow.
However, it is made of plump helmets.
The head is the first half of a elf, with rubies for eyes.
The blood is molten iron.
The tail is made of socks.

What the hell does this even mean? Does this mean that its head is an elf that's cut in half, or that its head is half elf and half something else, or what?

Abculatter, that is a freaking sweet creature. Depending on scale, I can see a hundred men dying to that beast, easily. It'd be sweet if we could tame it and put a group of marksdwarves on top in a basket, with spare quivers filled up and lying around.

Originally created for a project on another forum, and then Toady revealed the new Random monsters and I've been associating it with them now.

No it's the first half of an elf, as in a centaur is the backend of a horse and the front/first half of a man.
I'm bad at formulating stuff like that :(

Oooooh.

Well, I already started it and am making the neck and head an elf that's cut in half horizontally, and it's actually looking pretty cool so far. I can post a picture of the sketch so far if you'd like.

Thats what I had thought as well, centaur style with the upper torso, arms, neck and head of an elf.

Looks more like the elf has its feet stuck into the thing, but heh, there will be wierder forgotten beasts and titans.

I do have an idea for one of those new titans, but its suppoused to be upwards of a thousand feet tall and unfortunately the abstract tile sizes that DF has wouldn't even give its immenseness properly. Something like that would literally be a walking mountain and you'd BETTER hope its friendly. Nothing short of a nuke could probably destroy something that big.

I'm hoping that there are some titans which look like they are constructed from metals, like an alien construct or something.

Yeah, here's a really quick sketch for you.
Gaze upon the might of LoveCraft, The Doom of Rock!


The red things are veins. *Badum-tish*

Although I think I took the mountain thing a little too seriously.

Drinkwound has gone stark-raving mad!

In my imagination it makes the same noises as the Martians from "Mars Attacks"!!

A giant goat with birdlike wings and the head of dragon, with a horse tail and skin that is made of wood.

Also, why does this thread make me to think about SPORE?
