Great heads up on new species, Piz!  I love it!

We HAVE to include this guy!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A talkative bird with a beak like a curved blade, the scimitar-babbler was first discovered in Vietnam's Lang Bian mountains in 2004.

The wren-like creature is one of two new bird species discovered in the Eastern Himalaya since 1998, according to a WWF report released in August 2009.

The Scimitar-babbler!  What a name!    Totally DF!

...not to mention the "flying frog" that uses his feet to glide!

[Pizdzius]

That was also a suggestion to dig up more recently found species

yeah this bird and a flying frog are my favourites

EDIT: Banner's finished! At last oO'

I hope you guys enjoy it and accept it

Wow. Nice work. It sums up the epicness of the project quite well IMO.

[Gorobay]

I quite agree; that banner is magnificent. (Incidentally, does the Dwarvish on the scroll mean anything?)

Re "Sandwich": I think we should rename the Sandwich tern, because "Sandwich" there refers to a place in England, not the food.

I wish it did, but I'm not really so fluent just random stuff
Glad it's ok!

[Footkerchief]

Hahaha, wow, that banner's amazing.  I edited into the OP and wiki page.  Let me know if the formatting in the OP is bothering anyone -- this forum doesn't let you wrap text around an image, so I had to scale it down a bit.

[Cheddarius]

Man that banner is really really awesome
Just
Really really awesome
And that's all there is to say about it!

Also I like the expression on the guy's face.

[Rainseeker]

I am literally hopping up and down in my seat squealing!  Thank you Pizdzius for making the Ark Project feel official!  Yay, complete with QUAILS!  I had no idea you were so talented!


...someday you will all wish we had never added mountain quails.  They will destroy us.  Someday.


Wheeeeee!

[Gorobay]

Are those unicorns?

[Rainseeker]

Are those unicorns?

Hee hee!  I just noticed those!

[Pizdzius]

What a Dwarf Fortress Banner would it be without Hippos, Elephants and Unicorns? :p I really made the banner in a "D for Dwarf" way

I'm VERY glad you guys enjoy it and it flatters me so much to see it on the main wiki page \o/
If you ever need any other art stuff just give a sign (like a typical website banner or anything) I hope I can be of service.

Now, I shall go back to pixel art

[shadow_archmagi]

Whoa. I had never noticed this mod before. Going from "turtle" to eleven distinct breeds? That's pretty impressive. Dwarf Fortress becomes ever more educational!

[Cheddarius]

Yeah. I mean, it's already a subtle criticism of the Russian czars before the Russian Revolution. It teaches us not to make those mistakes again; if dirty nobles try to demand things from us today, we'll just solve the problem by locking them in their rooms until they starve.
or with magma

Just another one to say that I love the banner.

Also I have been through and thrown in the basic structure for Lepidoptera, plus added a few butterflies in.

http://dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/Modification:Ark_Project/Animals/Arthropods/Insects#Lepidoptera_.28moths_and_butterflies.29

I am not sure if it is appreciated if the families are listed like they are now (with no info in) but I thought I would throw it down whilst I had done the typing. But it is a bit of a slog. Bloody lepidoptera.

Also I am not in any way a butterfly geek, if anybody is and wishes to add / omit / alter please feel free, I'm not precious.

Definitely appreciated.  That's the approach I've taken for a first pass on several large taxa.

Neonivek's still planning to add some, as far as I know.
