Delays..

Heya, dudes! That last episode really mucked up this week's ep. and it's prooobably going to screw up the NEXT episode as well! I dunno WHEN the heck these'll be comin' out, but after these two, i'm taking a week off because me and Mrs. K are moving. 

Then after that week- i'll be doing these videos FULL TIME for real. it's gonna be great I say!

Thanks, buddies :)

I TRULY DO appreciate you all so much!

Taking questions for next episode!

 Hey, dudes. As I said in that last video, i'm going to be doing a sort of wrap-up video for next week and i'm going to try my best to wrap up any loose ends that may be hanging around out there. 

 So, if you have any questions about people you've seen in the fortress (Like the weevil), the world or events that may have taken place therein, ask away! I won't necessarily be getting to EVERY one, but i'll try my best!

Monsterkiller Gallery #26

 Holy hell, we have 91 pics his episode including all the little bits and pieces so I dunno what that adds up to exactly. 

 Krugg's pic-o-the-week:

 I have wanted to get Obok on Stalkob's back for QUITE some time now and i'm glad it finally happened. Fun fact- did you see The bat's new facemask? Its the hatch cover that was made a few eps. back! Fun right?

 Again, ...

Monsterkiller Ep.26 - Fall

 Thanks for your patience, dudes. I really hope you all enjoy this and find the wait worth it!

 Have a great day, dudes

Yet another update :[]

 Yeah, sorry buddies. Still polishing this thing up a bit. Gonna try my darndest to get it out by friday at the latest!

Wip

Unused pic

 This was from a few episodes back. Had it all sketched out but it didn't really work in the episode. Shame!

 Still workin' on the episode. Trying my best to make it worth the wait ;))

Update 8/14

 Hey, m'bastards! This next episode look like it's going to be a little late and I don't really have a clear idea of when it'll be done. I'm gonna keep on trucking with it and i'll let it come out when it's completed- I kinda want this one to be a good un', y'know?

 Thanks for your patience and all your support, guys. I hope you have a great day :)

Monsterkiller Gallery #25

 A little pressed for time this week so I didn't get to do quite as may big pics as I usually like to do :p

 Still managed to get a buncha those portraits in there though, which is pretty cool in my book! It's always fun to get to know the dwarves a little bit better.

 Krugg's pic-o-the-week:

 Really been having fun with the zany backgrounds lately and this one is one o...

Monsterkiller Ep.25 - Desperate Times

  ...Desperate measures.. 

 Hey, dudes! This episode was a little different than usual and i'd really like to know what you think of it!

 Thanks (as always) for all your support. It means the world to Mrs K and I :)

Just a bit longer!

 I'm still on schedule to be doing this thing full-time by the end of September. Things have been AWFUL busy at work and with the videos AND with packing in anticipation of the move, so I haven't had a *ton* of time to connect with you fellas the way i'd like to. So as I had said in that earlier post, sorry about that! I'd still like you fellas to contact me whenever you like if you have any questions or concerns about anything and I promise i'll get back to you (eventually!)

 Thanks...

Monsterkiller Gallery #24

 Again we had a lotta fun pics! I like being able to do things other than grey stone hallways and red sandy deserts from time to time, y'know?  As always, I enjoy drawing some beasts as well!

 Krugg's pic-o-the-week:

 Liked how the shading worked out in this pic here. Mrs. K always does the best work, doesn't she? Did anyone remember this rogue-ish woman? She had appeared a w...

Monsterkiller Ep.24 - Damnable Distractions

 How in hell are we supposed to pull this DAMN fort together when we're havin' so many DAMNABLE DISTRACTIONS! T'HELL WITH THE LOTTA YA! 

 Thanks much y'bastards! Again, sorry that I haven't been as talkative lately. Summer at work is preeetty brutal! Soon enough though! Only a little more than a month until I get to go for reals full-time with this. So excited :))

Thanks again, you beautiful bastards.

Instagram

 Hey, y'bastards! Started an instagram account a while back and i've only just recently been adding to it. Y'know I think I kinda like it?

 I'm mostly posting crayon pics from the episodes on there but I'm trying to add in a few extra doodles here and there too. 

 Figured what the hell. Someone might be interested!

Will Ushangvagush Prevail?

 Curious what you bearded bastards think about the fort's current situation!

 Remember, I said in the last video that by next summer, the fort will be turning around in grand fashion!

 I really am feeling positive about the whole thing.

Monsterkiller Gallery #23

 I have no idea how I managed to do this episode. When I do out the pics, I get the pencil sketch done first and then go over it in pen. Tuesday morning I and 16 pics sketched and I was (barely) able to pen them out by the end of the day. On WEDNESDAY I had to do 14 more pics on TOP of all the editing AND no pics were sketched! What the heck is that? Guess I work best under pressure, eh?

Monsterkiller Ep.23 - Death Flies on Hornet's Wings

 "Forgotten are we, the peasant, the slave. Forsaken are we, the loyal, the devout. Fallen are we, the Killer of Monsters.  Death flies on hornet's wings"       -Crudely carved message found on a wall inside Ushangvagush 

 As ALWAYS...thank you all so much for all your support. It really means the world to me and Mrs. K. We couldn't do it without you fellas :) 

DF News (7/21)

 Man, DF just sounds cooler and cooler with every update! Just so stoked for the future of this game. Take the time to read through this latest post from Bay12games and get pumped!

(From bay12games) 

 07/21/2018Continuing to mess around with the new party-pet-equipment stuff. The plans for villains as they stand now (destined to change and otherwise run into obstacles):

We already have all of the characters w...

Monsterkiller Gallery #22

 #22 already? sheesh time flies, huh? Feel like we just started!

 Anyways, got a buncha halfway decent pics this time! Hope y'bastards like em'!

Krugg's pic-o-the-week:

I had intended for the swordsman's right cheek to be shown on the other side of his mouth (which would give his face a more..normal appearance). But I think I kinda like this totally crazy hinge-jawed thing he's g...

Monsterkiller Ep.22 - Spiralling

  Things in Ushangvagush are truly out of control. The dwarves are revolting..and not JUST because they're covered with vomit and elf entrails! Can we pull it together before things fall apart?! Watch and find out.. 

 Had to burn the damn midnight oil on THIS one..sheesh. Thanks so much for all your help, dudes! I gotta get some sleep :()

Bay12 Update 7/14

Yeah, i'm super late posting this. But just in case you haven't seen, here's Tarn's latest DF projects (Looks SUPER cool, BTW)

"On Dwarf Fortress, the villain planning has continued; we should be starting coding there soon, but for this week, we started adventure mode parties, equipment and mounts as a more straightforward item. You can now create as many characters as you want when you start adventure mode, and they'll start together as a party. There are new equipment and mount/pet pages, as...

Easter Egg

 Did anyone notice this pic from a few episodes back? The diplomat is admiring the new throne room and in the background we can see an engraving of dwarves and a trap.

Monsterkiller Gallery #21

 Really tried to cram a ton o' pics into THIS one! Fun fact, I hadn't laid pen to paper until TUESDAY this past week! That's right! Every single one of these pics was done in two days! My hands hurt!

 Krugg's pic-o-the-week:

 I'll say it again! I'm a sucker for those bea-  ...dogs? Also, that croc is having NONE of this.

Monsterkiller Ep.21 - Changing Times

 A shift in the air, maybe? Whatever it is, things seem to be a little off in Monsterkiller, lads. Remember th' good ol' days? Back when we'd fight the greatest beasts that roamed the undercaves? That's all we needed back then. Ach, I guess times change, eh?

 Thanks again for all your help, m'dudes! 

 I'm VERY excited about these coming episodes, btw.

Venomblood

 My first digital art using a Wacom tablet. Came out pretty well i'd say!

 I had slipped this into that drawing video from last week, but I figured i'd share it here too.

 I hope y'bastards have a great day!

Reward Delays :p

 Sorry it's taking me so damn long to get to some of your patron pics, dudes! They're comin'! Trust me!

 Still gotta mail out those t-shirts as well. Again, you'll get em'!

 Also, i'll say it again: My apologies if I go quiet from time to time or seem fairly unresponsive either on here, Discord or in the Youtube comments. Summer is the busiest time of year at work and this one is the busiest yet! These next couple of months will be harrowing indeed. But come September, thi...

Helmet Snake [Kruggsmash Draws Dwarf Fortress #1]

 Hey, bros! Tried out a new type of video that I put together yesterday. It's a drawing video and i'd like to know what ya think of it!

 Now, this was INTENDED to be kind of a channel update sorta thing, but I guess I got a bit rambly and unclear with stuff while recording! 

 The main point is: the ball is rolling and by my estimate, i'll be doing Youtube videos full time by the end of September, which I know is still a bit away. I would DEARLY love to jump right into...

New Channel Trailer!

 Spent a couple hours yesterday making a new one. Been meaning to for quite some time and i'm glad to have it done!

 Lemme' know what you think, willya?

 Have a great day y'bastards!

New Font?

 Hey, dudes. Just testing out a new font for use in the videos and I wanted to see what you thought of it. Kinda going for an old NES sorta vibe with it.

Might do a couple other things too. Any suggestions for changes?

 And here's a couple screenshots of the text in-game:

Also, please no...

Monsterkiller Gallery #20

 Fun pics this week! I really do like drawing those clouds, i'll tell ya. 

Also, I LOVE drawing that goblin diplomat and his sons. Man oh man, I hope they all survive!

 Krugg's pic-o-the-week:

 Yeah! Love those beakdogs, i'll tell ya! Kind of a boring pic, but I dunno, I guess I kinda just like it :)
