Oh, that's easy - right-click and save it to your PC, then change it like you would to any other picture on your computer.

Platium is actually the best non-weapon standard slashing material.
And Platium makes a great hammer because it's both heavy and strong. Silver isn't too strong, and Steel isn't too heavy.

Platinum and gold are roughly twice as heavy as silver...

Did somebody just rule 34 two veins of metal?

"Menaces with spikes of platinum?" It's a platinum meat tenderizer!

(I'm totally patenting that and modding it in)

And Platinum makes a great hammer because it's both heavy and strong. Silver isn't too strong, and Steel isn't too heavy.
Wikipedia says It's both malleable and ductile, i wouldn't imagine either of those properties make a very good hammer.....
edit, i stand corrected, iron is close to platinum on both categories , i guess it's all about the strength..
edit edit, i also didn't realize it's about as hard as iron also. I mean it's not like i have platinum lying about the house to  experiment with.

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.

Yes, valuable metals suck for weapons in real life. But in Dwarf Fortress, there aren't many of the things that make it so. For example, we don't yet have the softness/malleability of metals implemented, among others.

EDIT: I'm seriously getting some Warhammer of Zillyhoo vibes from this artifact. I mean there are a lot of parallels.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I have created something for you! Be warned, it's a big picture.
win, and great on a lot of the little details. If you were to finish off her armor, I start to imagine a samus-like figure. A blond wearing mythically strong blue armor and a legendary weapon, while also having an unbreakable will, a sharp intellect, and good spatial sense. Yet she doesn't much care for music, and doesn't talk very much.

calm, rarely discouraged, modest, sense of duty, strives for excellence... and doesn't give a squat about death anymore.

I think she's the oncoming storm, a true valkarie of armok, and I fear for her enemies.

No! No! I will not massacre my children. Instead, I'll make them corpulent on crappy mass-produced quarry bush biscuits and questionably grown mushroom alcohol, and then send them into the military when they turn 12...

Even if Cacame is the dwarfiest elf, this hammer is only fit for a dwarf.

You mean blood thorn, it's denser than glumprong.

Yeah, but Blood-Thorn is a cave plant. Although, Cacame IS the Elf-King of Dwarves.
Plus, Glumprongs are evil trees, so they get bonus points just for that.

When exactly have we dwarves become -TRUE- racists? Sure, we hate elves because we hate all they stand for, but if someone embraces dwarfdom we embrace him, human, elf or whatever. Cacame fucking deserves a platinum warhammer, you might give him a wood piece of junk but he'll slowly kill you with it and then he'll go on a rampage until he get what he deserves! Who are we to question one of the most dwarfy individuals to walk Armoks earth?

Something as powerful as a platinum artifact hammer doesn't deserve to be in a non-dwarf's hands.
Not even Cacame's (who is the best elf ever and who we all love) hands.
