I used to draw quite a lot of Dwarf Fortress inspired art. I've been playing it a lot lately so decided to draw some of the people of my fort Dorenzanor. #DwarfFortress

Drawing of five Dwarf Fortress characters, four dwarves and one goblin. They are labelled below Athel, Minkot, Nil, Monom and Azstrog.
