@Robolee: dat beard

it is the beard to end all beards

Also, golden god eh wot? Nice! I haven't even beaten SMB yet. :U
Lovely drawing too, perfectly illustrates what happens to Meat Boy 98,8% of the time when i play, heh.

also time to apply sharp contrast to robolee's and madmax's incredible work with



UGLY THICK-LINE DINOSAUR FACE

Implied lines are lovely things.

@Nonsequitorian: Thanks, it's not that yellow actually, just the lighting. And yeah, it's nothing extraordinary, I just wanted a nice utility knife for camping and such, because my Buck fixed blade is a bit on the large side.

@Adriaan: Thanks. I'm pleased you said that because I've tried to learn some of the hatching techniques some renaissance printmakers/etching use, they are a strong inspiration to me.

@Bombzero: Rustic is what I was aiming for, thanks.

One last shot with the finish applied and polished, axe thrown in for theme.

Thanks for all the feedback guys, you've been greatly supportive.

You can't modify existing images with raw fractals.
This is all mathematically generated bull♥♥♥♥ I'm doing from scratch.

madmax is that hat wearing fellow Discworld inspired? Either way I love the style you've developed.

Also regarding my dwarf drawing (Gloin from the hobbit as seen in promo posters) there's a few problems with the darkness of the hair because all I had was HB. today I got a new clutch pencil and mechanical pencil, I got 2B lead @0.5mm for my mechanical and 4B lead @2mm for my clutch pencil. (the particular models are the rotring 300 and rotring 500). So I'm going to try another dwarf soon, Oin I think. I base the one I want to draw on the dwarven might of their beard.

Ok and umm.. I'm not the only person that sees the outline of a head, face, and shoulders?

holy ♥♥♥♥

I can see a blurry lump. Calling it a head, face and shoulders is a bit generous
You could probably see anything in there, it's like looking at shapes in clouds

dude

This is a DF tileset I made a while ago, I felt like dumping it.

It's back, I'm sorry. I tried something a bit more like the original.

Pretty good shot, Emotsaone. think I prefer the original though, simply because I like the extra space above the crane, it feels kinda cramped without it, plus those hills add a lot to it IMO.

@Robolee, I'm not familiar with Discworld, is it anything like Ringworld? I love Ringworld.

Wow, actually that feedback helps a ton because I got so caught up in the bird that I didn't even notice the hills!


secret edit

I edited the beast people things' raws so they could be used in DF Adventure Mode. Then set up a Serpent Man explorer.
The only option is to have an outsider, so they have no clothes, only a dagger and spear. I ditched the dagger and found a second spear, a flask, and a backpack in some lairs I cleared.
This is Udos Urrlthatham.

Pretty good looking character Matty, clean lines, anatomy (for the human half at least) is looking pretty good too... though something about the shoulders that seems odd, I think it's the sharpness of the deltoid muscles. Possibly thin neck for the physique too.

@Non: Hehe, that's my frontier axe, love that little lightweight axe, great chopper. Though it doesn't see too much use unfortunately. If you successfully make something like that I would love to see it. Why not put the hammer on the poll, opposite to the blade? That's how I see most tomahawks with hammers and it seems pretty handy.
