Your Coolest-Looking Artifacts?
« on: October 23, 2011, 07:31:47 pm »
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:
Spoiler: Odatot, "Limbchop", Adamantine Battle Axe (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Ėlot Zodost, "The Buck of Rot", Adamantine Crossbow (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Ruby Flask - Incomplete (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Adamantine Mace - Coming Soon! (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: WTF-Hammer - Coming... Not Soon! (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Dwarf Bone Spear - Coming Soon! (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Black Bronze Spear - Coming Soon! (click to show/hide)

Thanks for making a thread about an axe I thought up randomly. Shall I think up more random objects?

I'd like to keep it a bit real for now, but if I get bored eventually you can start thinking again ;)

Well, I thought my Black Bronze Spear was cool. It menaced with spikes of silver.

Well, I now have an urge to end sentient life.

I think I'll go meditate for a bit.

Well, actually in genesis I had a wooden bow with hanging rings of bone, encrusted with ash and encircling rings of oak. Its actually a very nice Razor-bow.

Knowing the dwarves, the ruby was probably just hollowed out ;P
As for the thong... You've struck gold there (I_I)

Blend? I honestly have no idea what that means.

I just know that I spent thirty-two adventurers lives in attempting to get it, and when I finally did... I couldn't remove it from the fort  :(

That was one of my older worlds, and I think I deleted it. The spear was named 'The Menacing Lull' though, which I thought was absolutely epic, if nonsensical.

I had a squad of militia dwarves call themselves something with lullz in it... Can't remember.
I believe they were killed in a cave in.... Ah well, black bronze spear covered in silver.... Shame curses and MAGIKZ don't exist in DF yet

Heh - I imagine that spear to be a black bronze road with a point of silver on the end of it :)

I actually thought it would look somewhat like Hircine's spear from Bloodmoon, but, you know, black. Or dark purple, really. And with the spiky bit made of silver.

I'm thinking more of a black bronze spear with a spiral of silver running through it
