Hurricane(?)

 Just a heads up here. Got Tropical storm Henri coming our way and the power company is saying to expect to be w/o power for a good while afterwards. If this happens it'll really throw a wrench into the production.

Actually, hell. Remember this time last year? Had Chamberpoint just starting and I lost power for 5 full days. that was unpleasant. 

 Lol, lookit this storm t...

Crimsontrumpets Gallery #4

 I feel I need to preface this with: This is just me talking out some bafflement. I get the sense that whenever I talk about my perception of the viewer's opinions that it comes off that i'm super broken up about it. I am not. Just thinking out loud because I get confused sometimes.

Hoo boy. Lotta comments about the "spicy thumbnail" on this one. I dunno, I guess I just don't see it that way. Like, I get where people are coming from, but all these years i've drawn perky-nipped m...

Crimsontrumpets 4: Bloodbound

 Drudging downwards. The path to Crimsontrumpets. Along the way we forge the bonds. We strengthen through toil. Crimsontrumpets, strong.

I say it every single week around this time, but you guys gotta know how much your support means to me. Thank you, y'bastids.

Man, I really am enjoying these drawings even though they're taking so long, heh.

Gonna keep it short this week- getting late and I gotta go to bed. Lot going on lately.

I appreciate you guys.

 The dwarves of Crimsontrumpets continue to forge their mighty home by delving downward in search of metal and the ever elusive third cavern layer.

But it seems  villainous eyes have begun to take notice of their efforts...

Hey thanks for watching and supporting this stuff, y'bastids. I really appreciate it.

 Eyyyy looks like imgur is working again for some reason. Excellent.

Ok, ok, I think I'm starting to find a balance with the details and stuff with these pics. Honestly was a little spooked after last episode seeing how long all the pics were taking, so I'm glad I found a good spot to settle in.

Really have been trying to challenge myself with actions and movement ad stuff lately. Using lot of reference pics from online (which you should definitely do if you're trying to...

The mighty dwarves of Crimsontrumpets face a number of difficulties as they sort out their new lives on the dark plains and continue on their slow crawl through the stone.

Whew. Ok, this week I've fallen into old (bad) habits again by having a bit too much fun with the editing and pictures and all that. Like, it IS fun, but i've also eaten away my whole weekend. Not something I can keep up in the long term so I have to start being more careful I guess. Still, got some fun pics outta it if nothing else!

I had drawn lik3 5 dwarves before I got the idea that their faces shouldn't really be shown. I still don't know if we'll stick to that whole thing, but I...

Unused Concept

 This marks the first time I've drawn a full picture for a video without using it. My original idea for this fortress was to do a somewhat Tlingit people styled fortress, mostly because it's a very underappreciated culture that is still around today.

After consulting someone of Tlingit heritage though, it was decided that it probably wouldn't be good. Not only would some members of the nation not appreciate it, but I agree that it just isn't a good look to have some white dude dr...

Dwarves of Strength: Crimsontrumpets

Dwarves of Strength: Crimsontrumpets

 In olden days, the dwarves, hidden deep in their mountain halls, feared the stresses of war. They would construct great walls of wood and iron all in an effort to defend their homes.....in olden days...

 Now however, the dwarves no longer fear the terror of war and instead invite it into their homes to face it, gleefully, with arms of silver and steel.

  Welcome to Thestarsakzul, Crimsontrumpets.

Thanks ...

Gonna take another day on this episode. I ended up losing a day in this production cycle, I'm having an awful lot of fun doing these drawings and i'm trying out some new things in the episode itself so it's probably for the best.

Thanks for your patience y'bastids

Eh, what the heck. Here's another wip:

Again goddamn imgur is not working. dunno what's going on.

Such good good pics. Really happy I got to work with North Dog on this project and i'm especially happy it turned out so well. Kinda opens things up to do something like this again in the future, eh? Guess we'll have to see what happens with that. I might like to try combining the lightly edited adventure mode episode we tried with North Dog's illustrations here. That might make something really really cool, I'm thinking.

Dwarf Fortress Short Forts: The Dawn of Thunderskull

(The dumb thumbnail is broken, I know)

In a cavern deep below the world's skin, a dusty cave wall is marred with ash. The image's form is that of some great antlered beast. An icon from a distant world.  

Today, we take a look at the "Primal mod" by Enemy Post  as well as a random metal generator by Upset Alchemist. If we do things right, we should be seeing a bunch of new prehistoric creatures and some exotic new metals in this short, short fort. Excitement!
