Does anyone else get sentimental about their first layer and wonder what could have been. Portraits are tough. But I'm still happy with this one.
I should make it known that I highlighted the jewelry with acrylic.

I had an elf as my queen once. I don't remember much about her but she was chill.

Was playing around with some faces until I landed on an elf. Thought you might like to see it

This is my light and shadow practice. Its been in the works for a couple of days. I wanted to depict the intense light and darkness that you see coming from a flare gun. How would you go about this?
this is a 12x18 by the way. you can see some masking fluid on the page where the path of the flare gun is doing. your input is appreciated!

I heard that beginners should buy the high end stuff so that their art not as bad as they think. This is what I made after getting 4 tubes of daniel smith, CMYK.

used so many different greens in this countryside painting! 12x18.
painted this for my parents, at least in part. i'm happy with it but i wonder if i'm missing the point of watercolor by using so much pigment. but i did do a lot of underpainting for the shadows. well, here it is.

a brief history of pigments, 12x18
had this idea to make a wikipedia article into a painting. open to critique, but keep in mind its really just a sketch or whatever.

Embark at the volcano. My first big dwarf fortress painting.
Made a new world and just loved the map so much i had to draw it. you can see the progress as you scroll to the right. at first the cat was the worst figure in the scene, but with some masking fluid it turned out to be the best. looking forward to doing more art like this.

My take on petra: sketch, shadow, color
Started watercolor and followed the sub about a year ago. Dont know why I never posted here. Used a couple images for reference, but added some stuff of my own

The surface dwarves met their doom. Idashas, year 10.
The surface dwarves were at their peak. two dwarven civs were visiting in the autumn of year 10..
and while we were hosting their 6-wagon caravans, we were besieged by goblins, with a massive army of trolls. the situation was pretty under control but they just had an overwhelming mass.
They built over the ravine, and poured over an uncovered drawbridge, kicking off a massive battle in the main courtyard, a tidal wave of goblins, and trolls, throwing themselves at a steel mass, made up of dwarves from all over the world... even the heads of trolls went flying into the air.
the battle was chaos, but it was a fair trade. we lost about twenty dwarves, the caravan guards, armed in black and white steel, were annihlated... but there were virtually no intelligent invaders left.
except for the dragons, who threw tantrums throughout our fortress, only made more enraged by the guard dogs, copper corkscrews and steel hammer traps placed throughout the spiral rampway. the best squads had already traded their lives to save the fort in the melee fight, and no one was left to face the dragons. the fort was brought from 240 pop down to double digits. maybe two hundred dead civilians. maybe 200 dead animals and pets.
Goodbye fort, there were too many points to defend anyway
i could potentially try to save the fort, so i can keep the world for a fun siege scenario. but i don't want to waste so much time on one thing. new worlds, new embarks, means potential for new art and stuff.
we left behind a huge library, many artifacts and statues, and i'm not continuing this world, but its okay. i've never let a fort lose like this, and I know this is a big part of the game! embarked on a volcano this time. not playing around.

The dwarves who wanted to prove that the surface fort is viable. Idashas. "Moistnesscaves". Year 10. Always open to suggestions. (Mods, DFHack)
A full cross sectioned tour of my shallow dwarf fortress.

The foolish dwarves who built a surface fort. Open to suggestions on defense design
It's like year 8. We're richer than ever, and the fort walls are getting higher. We have almost everything we need to survive a siege. Most importantly we managed to avoid the framerate virus that my previous forts suffered.
Thank you to people to suggested an overhang b/c i'm still a relatively new player. But the goblins still manage to climb in some places. Are bricks just not a viable defense block? Do I have too many fortification blocks? Thinking of pumping magma into my moat. Many things to consider.

10 hours into this game, building waterslides, and drinking the river dry, at 1400 pop. It's still a rough town, but it's my home and I love it

There are two moats. The deep, natural one with the small bridge, and the manmade one with the wide bridge.
The wide moat is sort of a fountain, where water is rushing out from a pressurized leak in my fort's plumbing. This water (level 7) carries objects down into the ravine.
The goal for surviving sieges is to not only lock the goblins out, but to lock the dwarves in to save them from their own stupidity. The dwarves are making everything steeper and harnessing the river water in anticipation for sieges.
Another goblin landed squarely on his head inside of my fort.
And here is a forgotten beast attacking people in the limestone mines.
The dwarves, with their elven, goblin, and human friends, continue to dig, and haul limestone, siltstone, and rock salt to the surface. The dwarves want to be seen. To build a hoard that is not hidden. What will come of their hubris.
