Dwarf-a-Day

"Look out below!"

Dwarves aren't necessarily... peaceful. They do enjoy a peaceful calm life, but their small stature and relative laid-back attitude makes them easy targets for other creatures in the world.

Goblin sieges are all too common for a fortress, so weapons and armour are made to get a step up on those barbaric goons! This dwarf sports a twin-braid beard, and a long, spiked flail.

Happy New Year!

What better way to spend New Year's Eve than the way I did, sitting around a warm fire and listening to music with my love? Nothing!

Here is some dwarves sittin' around doing nothing in particular. I imagine the cold breeze of the night cools their singed skin from the flames, the perfect combination. I wonder what kind of things they talk about in these quiet hours of the night. For me, I like to just sit in the silence of the night, listening for those soft noises that you might miss easily.

Past times...

Dwarves don't have a lot of down time trying to survive, but the calmer moments of relaxation do exist, and they are very important to the psyche of the expedition.

Here, a dwarf is taking a quiet moment outside the fortress to gaze at the Pickax constellation. Because they aren't outside very often, they don't pay very much attention to the night sky, but the neighbouring elf settlements do occasionally impart some wisdom of the stars on their visits. This cold winter night, he drinks a bone broth concentrate, diluted in boiling water, the perfect dwarf "coffee."

Dwarf of the day!

I decided to break out my old Prismacolor colored pencils for this one, but don't get your hopes up, they won't all get this treatment!

Dwarves live in their fortresses in relative peace, but they do face some fiendish foes. This dwarf seems to be kitted with a horned helmet, a shield, and a hammer! Oh, my!

Hi! My name's Hagnir.

I suffer from a lot of things in my life, and I find peace in doodling. To keep my spirit alive, I have decided to try doodling a dwarf every day, and posting it here with a short description! I also want to share more of this mystical world with anyone who is willing to read about it.
