Hugs, eh? Nothing says cuddly like natural AC, poison spit, and enough muscle to crush a yak!

[Baconkid]

And here's something fresh!

[Hirsch I]

spooky.
I hate clowns. I did not like Klown when his avatar was the Pennywise Clown, for example. but that is unimportant.

[Kaeoschassis]

Baconkid, I'd never stumbled across this thread before today, your style is utterly lovely.
Seriously tempted to try some crawl art myself now, dunno why it never crossed my mind...

[khalil]

Hey, Baconkid. That thing about turning your pics into splash screens, would it be OK if I tried to convert them for you? Worst case scenario, I waste my own time. Best case scenario, you get to spend more time making more art. I'd sell my soul to be half as good at it as you are.

[Hirsch I]

I sold my soul, it does not work.

[Baconkid]

Hey, Baconkid. That thing about turning your pics into splash screens, would it be OK if I tried to convert them for you?

Well, I would be honored! Go forth and redecorate, my child!

[khalil]

Got it. Here's Gastronok.
Does anyone know where the code for the splash images is? Even if this doesn't make it into main, I'm going to be running it on my home version.

[dpeg]

khalil: Nice! Please upload it as a contribution to Mantis. Make sure to mention baconkid

Damn, my lazy painting really shows up against a black background. Lemme give it some quick tweaks.

Edit here we go:

Spoiler: show

You're doing a good job, man! If you need me to do any tweaking to my stuff be sure to tell me.

Edit Edit: Wait, I somehow screwed up the shade of dark grey/black. HELP ME I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING

[khalil]

Think about it this way: I used MS paint at one point on this.
No matter how little you know about what you're doing, you can't know less than me.
EDIT
@dpeg
So I presume you didn't notice the filename?

[Baconkid]

OK OK I THINK I FIXED IT DON'T PANIC GUYS

Spoiler: show

[khalil]

Huh. Should probably get rid of the one I already posted on Mantis then.
https://crawl.develz.org/mantis/view.php?id=8320
Here's the issue if you want to look at it.
Although to be honest I can not see the difference between the two.
I'll get to work on D&D now.

[dck]

THE ORANGE RAT EAR'S INSIDE IS MUCH TOO WHITE

[khalil]

Here's the next one, uploading it to mantis too.
EDIT:
I just got the pun with their names. Gygax is probably rolling in his grave right now.

[Sar]

Duvessa has blue hair now. Thanks, minmay.

[dck]

another example of console players sabotaging tiles.
I bet bloax is secretly elliptic, too.

[dpeg]

Who cares? Women are known to change hair colour on a daily/religious/even more mysterious basis, so let's not stop adding gorgeous art on minor grounds like pigments.

[khalil]

Duvessa has blue hair now. Thanks, minmay.

What? No. Screw that.
If the game does not match the fanart, then the game shall have to change.

[duvessa]

Duvessa has blue hair now. Thanks, minmay.

Complaints about my natural hair colour should be directed at due. Anyway, can't you just say the splash screen is from back when I still dyed? I look pretty young in it anyway.

Fuck you

[dpeg]

Oh, the PC legion is marching again.

I am fucking myself as hard as I can, my hair colour just does not turn blue. Does it count if I am blue in the face?

Mods: Please do me the favour and delete minmay's posting and my one. Thank you!

[duvessa]

it was a joke

[khalil]

On a less obscene note, why was the change made? I'm curious. And also nosy.

According to due, her hair is naturally blue, and she doesn't really seem like the kind to dye it.

edit: wow looking at the ##crawl-dev logs after searching for 'duvessa' is great

  Code:

19:32:07 <alefury> not sure, but minmay probably has some theories on duvessa's underwear ;)
08:01:51 <alefury> dpeg: so are minmays dreams i think, at least regarding duvessa :P
16:47:59 <FaMott> How would duvessa and dowan have sex?
16:44:46 <Henzell> (1/1) minqmay said (2h 39m 14s ago): thank you. i really needed to know the *natural* hair colour to draw this (NSFW): http://www.cowmuffins.net/stuff/crawl/duvessa_erotic_on_bed_hires.jpg


[TehDruid]

Strong implications that minmay may be duvessa, I see...

[duvessa]

The blue hair tile got submitted because around Oct 11 2011, minmay asked due what duvessa's natural hair colour was, and he said "blue of course."

(just to be 100% clear I don't give a crap what happens to the tile)

[Laraso]

Look at the name of the unique that is being discussed
Look at the name of the poster who replied to you

[khalil]

I think the joke is that Duvessa is Minmay or something, I dunno.

[floatRand]

I should draw Agnes someday.

[khalil]

Not sure if that's an orb of fire or just the last thing the average mummy sees.
Either way, that's really good!

[Baconkid]

Here's the next one, uploading it to mantis too.

Pure honesty now: I don't really like this drawing, and I also don't think it fits as a splash screen.

[khalil]

Your decision I guess. I'll go put up a note to have it removed.
Here's the Mnoleg one. Had to cover up a bit of his feet to make the title fit, sorry about that. Tried shrinking him a little more so it'd look like he was balancing the title on his feet, but that didn't work out.

Spoiler: show

It's a punny name.

I'm just saying what I think, if people think it's good enough, then it's good enough.
Also, this one looks great, let me just fix the energy thing from the eyeball.

[khalil]

Here's the octopode that I totally made myself, and did not create via stealing someone else's picture and hastily copy/pasting a logo on top. ORIGUNAL WORK DONUT cp_STEEL!

I thought it was good, but my art skills are at stick figure level so anything can look good compared to what happens when I try to draw and..

It should be better now. Also fixed some white spaces.

imghere but cut for space

That glowey eye thing is great! Putting it up on mantis now.
Plus, this thread means I get to have done something other than have nerfed my favorite spell. (Not really sure how it happened, I started a thread saying "Buff Twisted Resurrection Lots" and by the end not only had I been convinced that TR needed to be nerfed, but I had gone and coded up the nerf myself.)

[dpeg]

I was so moved by some of the drawings I've seen here that I approached baconkid (whose Gastronok, Cheibriados, Mnoleg and elven twins are masterpieces, in my opinion) and, with his okay and Napkin's help, set up a dedicated space for these pictures. Feel free to comment here, or on wordpress.

Like I say over there, more pieces of art are welcome. Since this is all new for me, there's no rules yet. I guess the rights should be clear (for example, that raging blade-handed octopode on page 1 of this thread is gorgeous, but we couldn't ever take it if its origin is murky). I think "art" should be interpreted liberally: I could easily see good fanfiction go there, for example.

Thanks to everyone involved, and special thanks to baconkid!

[Klown]

They're almost cute enough to make me regret some of the horrible things I've done to them.

This! Now I don't want to hurt them anymore.


Awesome art & yay @ art page

[Wensleydale]

A few years ago I drew some fanart depicting the star-crossed romance between Trog and Sif:

Spoiler: show

Should I submit it as a splash screen?

[Klown]

Trog would be interesting.

spooky.
I hate clowns. I did not like Klown when his avatar was the Pennywise Clown, for example. but that is unimportant.

Hey!

[Hirsch I]

sorry man.
but they ARE spooky. since I watched IT with dad when I was 7, and dad entered my room at night with a clown costume and laughing like a goddamn maniac, I could never see any fun in them.

[Grimm]

tmi

[mandor]

Game title do not match well with those (beautiful) pictures on the splash screens. The title has this sharp pixelated outline while pictures` edges are smooth. Just my two cents.

[TehDruid]

Dungeon Stroll: Candy Cushion

[mandor]

I meant the image of game`s title, logo if you wish. But i guess this topic is made of joke and derail now anyway, so yeah.

OK, now I see what's going on here. You have enough time to set up a fanart page, but you're too "busy" to fix the trunk downloads!

(Half-joking, I love his art and like this new arts page.)

[MyOtheHedgeFox]

Baconkid, could you make a new thread and post seven pages of spam there?
I will thank it all. One thank is definitely not enough in your case. =)
