Well, after a human army aborted their attack I had an interesting target for my defence.
I pulled the lever!
And the cyclops beat the shit out of the dragon, but bought me enough time to pull the lever again, locking it in.
New problems.
I thought about that, assuming there's another dragon in legends, how realistic is the goal of breeding dragons? How would one even seek out a dragon?
Don't they require hundreds of years before they are large enough to pose a threat? They are born as adults so they can't be fully domesticated or tamed right?
I thought they would attack military on-sight so I've been reluctant to try any war training.
Yeah, fun™ indeed!
My plan going in was a fortress that relied on forgotten beasts for defense (I've only ever slain them or died trying) so this capture has been an expected delight however I'm a bit outta my depth here, both in terms of building-destroyer/megabeast manipulation and their use of in fort defense.
Caught a dragon, now what?
I'm looking for ideas, currently I've got him contained on a chain in a small 1z-level high 5x5 building with pillars on the corners and drawbridges for walls. The idea is to open the walls when attacked on the surface and let him nuke the area but I imagine there's better uses.
I assume the training he's gotten from my legendary animal trainer will eventually fall off and he'll be fully aggressive so I don't think I'll have the luxury of moving him later very easily.
Also- LOL @ a 400 year old dragon the size of a bus with fire breath hotter than the sun stuck in a wooden cage.
EDIT: Update in comments.
Found in Summer in the Pacific Northwest on a hike, and forest was mixed evergreen and deciduous.
Based on pics it really could be either.
Thanks for the reply!
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on the identification, fairly confident but mushrooms do be sneaky.
Amanita Muscaria
Snapped a pic of this cutie awhile ago. Beautiful.
Yeah? thank you! I went warmer than I have on previous attempts painting pomegranates. Thanks!
Pomegranate study
Pomegranates are so fun to paint, it's half the reason I buy them.
I'm a fan of this one, the whole piece is cohesive and the details are chunky and confident. The subtle shading throughout grounds the mushrooms.
The background works. Wet on wet backgrounds can do some really great bokeh-like effects.
The rose looks good too! Well done.
Ah, great info! Without cloud saves that kinda locks you into the deck... Thanks for the reply!
How's DF on the Steam Deck?
Interested in how the Steam Deck handles DF in terms of performance and controls. How's the experience and does the game feel hindered in any way compared to desktop?
I'm also interested in DFHack / mod performance and installation, I've not played with a Steam Deck at all but portable DF has piqued my interest.
Thx!
Not bad MAGGOT!
Love it, how's it compared to your markers?
Are you considering switching to watercolor? It certainly looks fantastic with your style.
Thank you so much!

I have so many memories of picking blackberries, the smell of the berries filling the warm air, finding that perfect berry that is just the right sweetness. Picking blackberries with friends is something I always look forward to.

Questions, comments etc. ❤️
High contrast around the eye(s) is usually great. Color selection is limited and so much better for it, I'm getting Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark kinda vibes from it and I'm really enjoying it. Kudos. Thanks for sharing.
Love it, dramatic and expressive. What's your process?
You think the DNC would let AOC anywhere near candidacy? They torpedoed Bernie. They seem quite content with their failing platform.
Alex O'Connor did an interesting video on this, he's got other videos exploring the shortcomings of LLM 's.
Looks good, is the character OC? I like it. Those shadows are so chill but add so much to it.

Feedback or questions are welcome.

I wanted to try the fuzz, it's fun, there's a lot of ways to tackle it.
People seem content with billionaires controlling american political system life I guess.
Very Monarch butterfly
Drop the word "Democratic" from that sentence and you're correct.

Having fun, started as a study on eyes and turned into the rest of the face on accident. Bob-Ross'd it.

Lot of Daniel Smith and some Windsor & Newton, the red background specifically is just DS Pyrrol Scarlet - beautiful color. Brush is RosemaryCo, paper is Jacksons 4x6. Happy for feedback or questions <3

Pretty happy with most of this but there's some elements that I could improve.
Also- what's up with image upload, I had the hardest time getting this to upload, what's the trick here?

Have been struggling to motivate lately, and have not painted anything in a couple months, trying to get back into it.

Still working on loosening up.
Guess how old my dog is, watercolor on paper.
Seriously, take a guess, I don't know since she was adopted and the agency didn't know.

Haven't painted in awhile, something loose felt light and the colors blended nicely.
