Clamlips - 22 Mid Autumn by galaban

Map Description:

This is the fortress Clamlips in the year 22, 10 years after embarkation.

This fortress contains two mural/mosaic projects: the First Mural Project, which (as named) was my first mural; and the Grand Mural Project, which is noticeably larger than the first mural and the culmination of the fortress.

This is the final record of the Clamlips fortress.

Point of Interest: Grand Mural / Mosaic Project

( 19 Mid Winter → 22 Early Summer )

This is my Grand Mosaic Project.

I just picked a picture from the internet of some mountains, converted it into colors that would work with DF (and the stone available), and just kind of guessed and checked on the placement of each block.

The mural is made entirely from constructed floor, roads, floor grates, and one-tile bridges. Oh, and there's a few upright spikes thrown in.

The stone is cobaltite (dark blue), microcline (light blue/cyan), schist (brownish), green glass (green), mica (dark gray), felsite (light gray), and alunite (white).

The most time consuming aspect of this mural was making all the green glass floor grates and blocks for all the green. The most challenging was mapping a picture to the DF world and trying to choose what constructions/buildings to use. - galaban

You could have done a swordmaster, with all that microcline.
