Ok... we've got multiple 'best artifact' threads, a few 'worst artifact' threads, one or two 'useful/weird artifact' threads, but I've yet to see a recent Best Looking Artifact thread.
Due to the recent complements on my first real dedicated rendering of a DF weapon, I've decided to start gathering the coolest artifacts of the community and make a showcase of the nice ones.
Got a silver blowgun encrusted with black diamond and encircled with bands of obsidian? Might be worthless to your fort, but it looks damn neat. So, please, post your shiny things here (with a screenshot of the description if possible), and if it turns out to be good, you'll have your artifact
made into something like this.A quick thanks to everybody - I'm really getting an education in medieval weapons when doing these. I dunno if that will ever help me in life - but a prior thanks if it does turn out to be.
Current Pieces:This is an adamantine crossbow. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is encircled with bands of horse bone. This object menaces with spikes of adamantine and nether-cap.
On the item is an image of The Buck Of Rot the adamantine crossbow in limestone.
This one is broken, since my renderer doesn't handle multi-faceted hollow transparent items yet, it lacks hanging rings or transparency. It has a cork stuck in the top.
"Had an adamantine spiked mace, bands of raw adamantine, hanging rings of werewolf leather, images of somebody somebody the god of rage, lakes and the weather in general looking sombre."
"I will make an artifact platinum warhammer encrusted with rose-gold, normal gold and copper. Menaces with spikes of platinum, adorned with hanging rings of obsidian, oak and ash. Encircled with bands of bronze, dolomite, nethercap and donkey leather. On it is an image of Sam B and the Roc Windhowls the howling winds in aluminum. Sam B is striking down Windhowls. On the item is an image of Sam B and elves. The elves are being massacred. This refers to the pillaging of Woodlove."
Dwarf bone spear, spikes of dwarf bone, hanging rings of gold.
Black Bronze Spear, menaces with spikes of silver.
