I would swear I've seen your work somewhere before... or artwork done in a similar style to yours. 

Regardless, this is a very awesome project you've embarked on and I look forward to seeing more of it!

Probably in some of the old forgotten Beasts Art Contests.  Partially inspired by DarkerDark, although ink and cross-hatch has been my preferred style for a very long time.

Give a man a fire, and you keep him warm for a day.  Light a man on fire and you keep him warm for the rest of his life.
The great Dwarfen Philosopher Urist McConfused said it best:  "Light a kitten on fire and it will run screaming into the booze stockpile and catch the whole fort up.  I know, we tested it in twelve different forts and it always happened."

Yes.  Another Boatmurdered character has already appeared.  See if you can figure out who.

Boatmurdered was my introduction to Dwarf Fortress.  It has a special place in my heart.  A violent, elephant-strewn, miasma-ridden, burning place.

Of course, Sankis trying to drink Magma ! But it wasn't dumb, it was such a glorious move !!

(I have translated the whole thing in French, so I begin to know it by heart ^^).
I also like the Journal of Kith, which is (even) more gruesome and terrifying !

It's Queen Sankis the beardless who went mad and beat a cow to death.  I took some liberties and did not depict her on fire.

. . . but the funny thing is, you never see the final stage of digestion, which is probably just as well. . .

Somebody should eat fly brains in real life. I wonder how the dwarfs get the fly brains. Must be a delicacy.

Thank you for sharing, this is all kinds of brilliant :)  I would love to see a sketch about the peculiarities of Dwarven Engineering; i.e. building a staircase from above, desalination via pump, giant cheese statues, etc.

I am TOTALLY raising my kids this way.  Now if you'll excuse me, I have a meeting with a Children's Aid Society social worker. . .
