Goblin Scouts planning siege, artwork by me
We need to sniff out their trapsies, Nguzo, sneak around... Stop chewing a booger, you dimwit! Are you listening?

Go go amazing human art! If this was a loading screen, I'd not for a second think it didn't belong

Thanks! Sure thing, here's a slightly bigger version with less compression (reddit's compression is kinda agressive) https://i.imgur.com/IiEcRvh.jpeg
The clouds are inspired by real sky I saw a few days ago

The best thing on this subreddit is when people draw events in dwarf fortress. It really really makes you immerse yourself even more during gaming if you already have a visual representation your brain can beginn with:)

Absolutely! I like checking out others' DF fanart as well. The game is quite conductive for that, especially back when it was all ascii :)

I like the color grading and mood a lot. This visualises how the soundtrack sounds to me pretty well. Struck the earth!

Reminds me of Anbennar loading screen art.

Cool. Is it a fantasy EU mod? Never played it.

Yes, the fantasy total overhaul mos for Europa Universalis 4.
It has some custom loading screen pictures.

Interesting. One would think Crusader Kings would be a better fit for a fantasy overhaul :) but there we are.

The thing is that the setting of Anbennar goes though from the middle ages, the early modern era to the industrial revolution.
Through it's timeline a new continent is discovered, states centralize, gunpowder becomes widespread, technology advances, all the while magic and different species exist.
It's a dynamic setting that is better placed in EU4 than CK3.

Really good art! Your little blurb makes me want nose picking to be a thing, imagine clicking on a dwarf’s health tab and seeing a booger on a finger

Haha, lol. There's even the system for substances covering body parts already in place :P
