Hey everyone.

I've been making a few dwarf fortress mid-century style propaganda posters to sharpen my illustration skills. They've proven quite popular so I'm going to share them around here:

I spoke with Toady regarding the possibility of selling prints but he denied on the grounds that it would distract from donations to the dev fund. I respect that and thus will not be making prints available for sale. However I will be making the High Quality files available for free to Dwarf Fortress fans who wish to print their own. All i ask is that if you do, please take the time to make a donation to Bay12.

All downloadable files can be found here in both PNG and JPG format at a resolution of 2400x3394

Enjoy!

Nice posters. They kinda remind me of 50's war posters, though.

Yeah, that's where the mid-century style comes in.
These are great! Love the last one especially. Like to see more... I can just imagine them plastered over the bloody, vomit-spattered walls of an average fortress.

Very nice!

I love the Armok one, you did a particularly nice job on the horde of creatures.  Is that the stinging iguana from Bronzemurder I see?

Also, good on you for asking Toady for permission re donations and, better yet, following his wishes.

You're the first person to catch that! Good on you.

this fits here too:

These are great.

To clarify, did Toady say not to you selling prints or to him selling prints?

As a graphic designer, I gotta say good work. Sorta inspires me to make some of my own in the future.

Kinda busy this week and won't be around until next Tuesday or Wednesday, but I might try developing something of my own like that. At least, it should make for good material for when I get back into playing DF again (and get the next megaproject started or advertised). I can even get some illustrations done for some backstory or something.

Thinking of putting the catsplosion-one on my wall...

[tolkafox]

Free? But we're spoiled enough with the game, now we get awe inspiring artwork to boot? XD

Not really, Skeletonhat's are good.

Praise from Armok himself! I hope I got your likeness just right

I told him I'd take care of all the legwork and just send a lump donation at the end of the month and he declined. He said people think they're getting a bigger cut then they actually are. Which is true, If I were to sell them on Society6 with my other prints the profit is between $2-$5/print

[jmancube]

These are awesome, I especially like the catsplosion one

These are fabulous skeletonhat!
