Well i'm going to try to stop myself now, i did manage b4 to stitch a pic of my Bridge of Death™ (patent pending)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

can't remember quite why i resorted to that in the end, was a while ago tho, but i may attempt something similar every 255 odd zlevels, should only be about 6 or 7 images.
Anyhow before i derail the thread, here's my final two pics for my night;
Lowest level of the adamantine ... thing @67z;

Someone needs to tvtrope this. Bizarrchitecture?

[ECrownofFire]

Now those are some awesome images. Somebody needs to get a shot of the entire thing though.

Slash Eldrich Location, on account of the buggyness.

[Lord Shonus]

I added it to Good Bad Bugs.

[Dermonster]

... I think my edit overwrote yours. I don't see it. i submitted it right before you posted.

I put it under eldritch location under bizzaritecture

[Lord Shonus]

Mine is on http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GoodBadBugs

Wow, that is amazing.  That's, like, 1/10th of the height of that thing!

And yes, I put it on the bug tracker.  It hasn't gotten a lot of buzz, probably because I was unsure how to go about submitting this bug.

I feel we should dub this thing Armok's Whisker.  For some reason I'm reminded of a tin whisker.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whisker_%28metallurgy%29

[cbpye]

The word "whisker" just doesn't evoke the sense of eldritch wrongness that this thing should should inspire.  After seeing those early renders, I'm now convinced that what I wrote several pages back about expedition after expedition being sent there, only to die by staring in awe and disbelief, to be the complete and unerring truth.

[Igfig]

This is pretty awesome.

I submit that it should be called simply The Spire.  It's not like anybody could mistake it for any other spire.

The most you can see of the thingie and the ground,

That will be my new desktop background, thanks!

For the full 5mb png, when i get round to doing the full stitch later should be 20-30mb tower 30k pixels high I'd guess at, but for now the 255z spire and ground in full;

Fff, this is not merely a random spire of adamantine.  Think: where have you heard, previously, about building a long, thin vertical structure out of high-tensile-strength material, extending impossibly upwards to the sky?

That's right, friends.  You've found the Dwarven Space Elevator.

You're a bit late on that concept. Check a few pages back.
