The Dwarf Fortress Graphical Itch

I should probably point out that this particular post is entirely referral-based thanks to this post on TIGSource. Hell, I'm not going to say anything much new, so you might as well go and read it over there. So anyway: the game pixel-art types over at SpriteAttack have come up with this awesome isometric imagining of what Dwarf Fortress could possibly look like with a bit a graphical elbow grease:

Additionally, that astonishingly handsome and intelligent indie games website tigsource.com have also pointed out that RPS-favoured fantasy-management ASCII project Dwarf Fortress has had an unofficial graphics update thanks to the work of Mike Mayday over at RPGCodex, who has compiled various tilesets. Good work, Mike.
