New Intro For Next episode

 Going to be doing some adventure mode coming up and didn't think the "Short Forts" title went very well with the idea so I (foolishly?) spent yesterday making a new intro. Not up to my usual standards, but it's the best a guy could do in 12 hours!

Side note: If this next episode ends up being delayed, this was most likely the reason!

Largegate Gallery #3

 Lots of little bits and pieces in this one. I know they're not the most interesting things to look at, but I figured some folks *might* want to see em'?

How bout those rain pics? I haven't' done anything like that before. I think they came out pretty neat! Mrs K's coloring really did a fantastic, subtle job on them, Real nice stuff. Hope you liked them :)

Largegate #3- Cut & Run

 The stage is set! The dwarves of Fangmountain may be on alert, but we, the dwarves of Orinod, know well the secrets of their fortress home and soon their war beasts will be ours!

Put a little extra love into this episode. Got some fun little bits :)

Thanks for letting me do this, y'bastards.

Thanks, Devon!

 Devon's Patron pic is of a goblin-looking character who I would personally really like to know more about. Seems like an interesting fella.

Thanks, James!

 James' patron pic is good ol' Beans arriving safe and sound back at Honeystoker.

Was good to have a chance to draw the guy again :)

Thanks again, James!

Largegate Gallery #2

 Bunch of lil' pieces in this episode. Not always the most interesting things to look at, but i'll throw em' in just in case anyone's curious!

Man oh man, some of these dwarves are ugly as hell, huh? Love em'! It was pretty fun drawing the artifacts. Was good to see the vomiting king make a cameo and that skull hel was just gloriously ugly to behold!

Largegate #2- The Hoard Grows

Now that the roguish dwarves of Orinod have their bearing, the raiding can commence, despite the fact that their treasury is already brimming with treasures...

 ...But one must wonder what sort of trouble the dwarves will cause with their plundering!

A special thanks to Civillain for her help in this episode!

And also to you guys of course. You're the best :)

Thanks Vinnie!

 Vinnie's patron pic based on his true story!

"One of the most odd things I had ever seen in my playing DF was when I reclaimed a fortress, deep inside their great hall amidst the bits of discarded clothing and debris, was a Unicorn.  It was just standing around the great hall of an abandoned fortress, and upon closer inspection had some dwarf's tears on it.  I don't know if the tears were in fear when the Unicorn impaled it or that the Dwarf was so heartbroken that it h...

Largegate Gallery #1

 Well, this was a ride! Kind of a slow start in my opinion, but for some reason i'm really digging the different faces in the fort. There's the starting 7 rogues, the migrants who arrived and then the nobles who are now part of the fort. All 3 groups seems fairly distinct and i'm curious to see how things continue on.

Noticing some plot elements unfolding, but i'm keeping them a little hidden for now. You can see a couple cluess in the pics.

Also, magma crabs. Funny how I...

Largegate #1

  Welcome back once again to Tar En, The Land of Legends! Today, we tread far, far to the north into the freezing peaks. A small band of dwarven bandits has taken refuge inside a forgotten citadel known as Orinod, Largegate. From here they hope to launch raids on the surrounding communities and build a great treasury of stolen goods. Though perhaps old Orinod holds more than they thought?

Thanks yet again, y'bastards! You do so much for me :)

Fangmountain Gallery #5

 Well, Fangmountain..you were a GOOD short fort! Such a good amount of storytelling out of such a short series. Not too sure how the dwarves of The Bearded Bear will fare after we leave them to their own devices, but i'm hoping they can handle things well enough!

Jabberers! It really is a shame that I haven't been able to draw more of them over the course of my videos. Going to have to keep my peepers peeled for more in the future!

Here's one of the few pics I've done of a...

Dwarf Fortress Short Forts: The Bastion of Beasts #5: Jabbering Bulwark

  Now that the dwarves have an army of jabbering warriors, they must put them to the test! Will the Jabberers be able to hold up under *real* combat? Or was this all just a colossal waste of time?!

Thanks for all that you do, m'dudes! Such a fun series.

Got a VERY interesting idea for the next though!

A Fairy

 A tiny, giggling humanoid with lacy wings.

Some dwarves like fairies for their lacy wings and their babylike giggles.

I did this picture for the weekly DF drawing prompt on the Discord channel. If you're not on the channel but would like to join, i'd highly recommend it! We need some more participants!

Thanks, Bleach!

 Bleach's patron pic. It features most of the notable characters from the series even if they would not have been alive at the same time. Was good to see some of these guys again.

Let's play a game! Who did I miss?

Fangmountain Gallery #4

 I really could appreciate the variety of pics in this episode. Giants, An olm man, werelizards, troglodytes and Zakrim the forgotten beast. There's something about that beast I really liked. Can't quite put my finger on it, but it was satisfying to draw the big bastard.

I think the pic of Zekrim flying through the slabs was my favorite in this one. Notice the "Rumble" easter egg.

Fang Mountain #4: The Legend Grows

 The ever-increasing challenges that the great bobcat has thrown at Fangmountain has reached a breaking point. Zekrim has arrived and has breached the fortress. Can The dwarves prevail over this vile foe? Will Fangmountain's jabberers be of *any* use?! Watch to see.

Hey, I changed my mic up a bit this episode, You guys will have to lemme' know what you think.

Also, thanks for all you do, m'dudes!

Thanks, Frej!

 Frej wanted a dwarven caricature. Didn't have to add too much to the beard to make it look dwarfy, that's for sure!

Thanks again, dude!

FangMountain Gallery #3

 Figured i'd try out the new gallery option on patreon here. You'll have to lemme' know if it's any better than imgur.

I really like drawing Tun (Bearhug) Something about the guy. I guess it's his egg-shaped body. Just fun for some reason.

Oh also them forgotten beasties! Glad I had a chance to doodle some of those guys this episode. Always fun! Hoping we can get our hands on a gremlin. I want to draw more of those :)

The Bastion of Beasts #3: The Trial Continues

  After pulling themselves together, the dwarves of Fang Mountain continue their quest to raise a brood of mighty, fighting jabberers. But they had best remember that thee great bobcat is a fickle deity indeed...

Once again, my bearded bastards, I thank you for all your generous support. You're all too damn good to me.

 Just love drawing them Jabberers! Also, had a good time drawing some of the dwarves that we are growing close to (edzul, tun, grizzle, rumble)

Oh and the ghosts too! Damn things!

Dwarf Fortress Short Forts: The Bastion of Beasts #2: Trial of the Bobcat

 Fangmountain. A short lived fortress that has become a bloody tomb. Can the scant few survivors survive in this place? Or will the fortress fall?!

Thanks so much for your understanding with my vacation, guys. you are all too damn good to me.

Glad to be back, though :)

Dwarf v. Carp

 Just a random japanese-inspired doodle of a dwarf fighting a carp I did while on vacation. Trying to figure out what i should do with it. Might throw it on some stickers for the merch shop. That'd be fun :)
