Like the grit, pretty uncommon in DF art.

Hella nice man, this is a master level work!

That has DnD 3.5 levels of crust and grit. I like it!

But hey, free dagger.

This is a very nice piece. Gotta say, this is the first realistically done kobold I've seen in a while. A lot of them are drawn as 'cutebolds' from what I've seen.

Gotta keep that copper smelting industry running!

That kobold is even modelled after the cutebolds, an attempt to transfer cutebold features into a less simplified and cutesy style. It was fun to do.

Lol kobolds are annoying, but they can be helpful at times to, like leveling your fighter skill.

And then the Kobold suddenly was everywhere and it took the dwarves four whole months to clean the passageway up again.

Only a Dorf wouldn't care about a dagger sticking out of his hand!

Unless he has something important to do elsewhere. Then the dagger wound is the first thing on his mind.

Dorfs don't care if they walk around on fire. Why would they care about something as small as a profusely bleeding knife wound in the hand?

And then Urist MxDoctor completely ignored Urist McKoboldSlayer and he died of infection after a prolonged and agonising stay in the hospital

I think I'll always imagine kobolds like that one, from now on.

Tips to goblins: NEVER EVER try to take down a dwarf, wielding only a poorly made dagger.

Awesome artwork man! I sew this in the fanart thread too, really nice.

Contrary to popular belief, A kobold is not a member of the goblin genus family.
They more resemble a similarity to the reptilian and canine family trees.

actually, their mythos has them depicted as gaint humanoid rats you might recall the little candle obsessed fellows from WoW who hung out in mines, same critter basically.

Urist must have been a hauler, a champion would only need to stare hard at that kobold and it would explode.

Fantastic artwork!
