That's like... the perfect balance between straight and angled I've ever seen! What does the column end up like tho?

I've not done the Ts, the + or the column yet. I've not done the engravings either.
I think I'll go with square (original Ironhand) for the Ts and +.
For the column I think I'll try to do a perfect octagon.
For the engravings... ... ... I suck at engravings.

[Jeoshua]

Well I know someone who rocks at engravings... and you're in his thread

[Phoebus]

Still no engravings, and I don't like my first version of the pillar. It won't work well as a wall ender, I'll have to go with a square design.

[Jeoshua]

Aye, make ut studry and Dwarfy!

[Phoebus]

Square is definitively better.

[Vince]

Square is definitively better.

I love this!
About the engraved floor: The detail is a bit too much, like already said.
Maybe if only the jointings get "engraved" (red/white/.... instead of default dark gray)? I know this doesn't make sense, but it could look better and would be more distinguishable.

[Phoebus]

Here's my first attempt at floor engravings.
Only the stone surface is engraved, not the filling inbetween.

Engravings can't remove color, they can only add some.
Putting engravings in the cracks will make the cracks either brighter or of a similar brightness to the stones, and that I think that would be an eyesore. (It's also hard, and I'm tired. )

[Newbunkle]

Diagonals, bah. Walls, like real women, should have curves! 

Though when it comes down to it, I'm a pretty square guy.

Ironhand has completed Sexywalls, the Magical Pixels of Stone.

The above was the best, I'd have to say. It didn't have soft edges or rounded corners. It was edged, flimsy and rough, just like the beard of a Dwarf.

I don't understand why these Elves are so obsessed with harmless, blunt edges and diagonal walls.

Edit : It ain't Dwarf enough until you can poke your eyes out from it.

[Raging Mouse]

Here's a suggestion: Since you've got that completely awesome diagonal slab -look going, why not have the engravings follow the shape of the slabs -be diagonal as well? I doubt an engraver would ignore the edges.

This engraving is just perfect. Ironhand, take notice

Have used the set for ages, this is awesome.

[Savaril]

The new walls are neat but they really need some texture. They look like flat polygons and seem out of place.

You think so, huh?
They look so messy! Don't they?

Yeah. The old walls looked messy (but great) too. They are supposed to be. We're dwarves, not elves, damnit.

[Newbunkle]

*cough .31.25 cough*

[Vince]

Nice!
I wonder how this would look without the black outline of the walls.

[Newbunkle]

By the way, I like the new smooth floors, though I wish they'd be a bit brighter. I could barely see them on my monitor because they looked black. It was only when I copied the pic and zoomed in that I could make them out.
