Clan Ironsorn's Standard

[Drake Strongfist]

First off. I didn't do this, I have no drawing talent. A friend did this for me. Clan Ironsorn's patron diety is Clangaddin and as such we come from a long line of giant slayers. Warhammers and Battleaxes are a common dorf staple so I went with those for the weapons. The text description that I put on fixtures and such is as follows.

"A warhammer and battleaxe crossed behind a misshapen giant's skull on a field of iron grey, underlined with a banner containing dethek runes that translate into "Kin keeps kin."

This is exactly what I gave my friend and this is what I got back....oh yeah. Those are the actual Dethek runes. Feel free to look it up if ya want

Disclaimer: Some of the detail is lost here, this is actually a picture of the original that I took with my phone. I don't have a scanner so I'm waiting for a scanned image to come in my email.

That is awesome.

It really is exceptional! Your friend has a great art style.

I like it.

This is an exceptional tree paper drawing. It is decorated with the Sigil of Clan Ironsorn. This object menaces with spikes of quality. On the object is a symbol of Clan Ironsorn. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality.

But seriously putting aside Dwarf Fortress, this is great! Your friend did an awesome job.

Thanks I'm glad you guys like it. A bit dark for normal dorfness but it is what it is. I'll let my friend know what you guys think so far. I can't wait to get the scanned image sent to me. So much is lost here. The detail in the wooden handles for instance.

Very dark for normal dorfness, awesome art though.

Being a clan of giant slayers is dark business

I don't think so.

[Drake Strongfist]

We shall agree to disagree.

[Drake Strongfist]

Ok I got the scanned image in. More detail. Less dark etc, etc.

[Rystefn]

I like it. *thumbs up* Also, giant-slayers being the only type of dwarf that actually make sense to fight to with axes and hammers (I blame Gimli), it even makes logical sense.

The goblin skull is creepy!

Cool work
