Draw your engravings!
« on: June 05, 2011, 07:18:54 pm »

I'm surprised nobody made this yet.

The title says it all - post drawings of engravings that you found particularly amusing/awesome.

This thread actually existed about half a year ago. I posted an image of an engraving of a goblin in a fetal position. It was amusing because it was a goblin thief whose presence I only noticed because it produced a corpse and a bloody mess when it stepped on a weapon trap.

Here is a shit drawing of the female wolf Ashmon Dimplefangs which settled in The Jungles of Tone in 1.
She was the only one of her kind, which essentially means that wolves are extinct in this particular world.

The Dwarf Engraver Mosus Thotholon engraved like 300 engravings of Ashom Dimplefangs settling in the Jungles of Tone and 4 out of the 8 artifacts created in the previous fortress had an imagine of Ashmon Dimplefangs doing something.

Ashmon Dimplefangs is still alive yet the Jungles of Tone is nowhere to be found.

I don't know about unicorns, but back in .95, one of my PA soldiers was diagnosed with power armor. I drew a fairly good picture about it, but my science project (a bunny) pissed all over it.

I had a bunch of traders' yaks (always yaks... :-\) engraved lifting assorted trade goods due to the civ being an itemthief. Maybe I could draw one of those...

Pretty much all of the engravings in my most recent fortress seem to be of a local dwarf civ's emblem, a diamond.

My picture would be pretty boring.

I've got one. Mind, every time I participate in a 'Draw your...' thread, it immediately dies.  I'm not sure how I feel about that!

This was an engraving my head engraver repeatedly did,  It's a picture of my expedition leader being elected mayor, and surrounded by dwarves. Or in my case, his wife/brewer and his best friend the miner.

Or maybe there's a god who's just completely insane and sends you to Detroit, Michigan in a new body if you ever utter the name "Pat Sajak".

His expression makes it.  'Why, elephant, why? I thought we were friends!'

Strangely, I can see Gordon Freeman in the drawing, but not anyone else.

Nice one, not sure when I'll be feeling like killing a baby but these things are good to know.
This is why we can't have nice things... someone will just wind up filling it with corpses.
