Dwarves
I really love dwarves. When gaming,
both pen & paper and digitally, I am
always inspired by these short, stoic
and crafty characters.
In this design I wanted to explore the
modern dwarven concept. A race of
people born in caves, deprived of sun-
light and experts in the use of metals
and fire.
By looking at how animals in nature
adapt to confined spaces and lack of
light, I was inspired to design these
characters with enhanced secondary
senses, reduced skin chroma, and
longer arms.
I wanted to do these things but with-
out loosing the silhouette and feel of
dwarvenness that I really enjoy in my
gaming experiences.
