What "Maybe someone some day will make "barbarian dwarves with tusks" for some system."

maybe.... :icon_wink:

I don't know if it would be popular though. A sort of short hairy orc.

maybe like a Mini troll which is why they hate the bigguns

Perv

Dwarfs with Tusks?  Maybe a new line for the warping of Chaos Dwarfs.  I cant paint tusks yet so hold off with that idea :-)

Thank you bungle :clap2: It is a good idea. I think I will look into it after the first set of items we release.

I likes! Did the basic posing right now. I'm waiting for it to set then I'll do the face first based on your pic before I start sculpting the body seriously. We'll see what you all think...

For clothing I imagine stitched together rags. Not very heavy armor. Leg wrappings. You know. Typical giant/ogre outfit...

That picture is an ogre or troll from earthdawn (I think) it just seemed to match what I was trying to convey. It maybe matches norse mythology too.

Maybe an excuse for animal horned helmets  :icon_wink:

I can see these guys as "Trollslayers" or barbarian berzerker type things - bare upper torsos, furs and hides, maybe less concentration on decoration on weapons and more on killing effectiveness. So the stiched rags or hides, light armour and leg wrappings would be good.

I just watched nacho Libre and the dwarf mexican wrestlers.... LOL Kind of reminded me of Yoda in combat.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Yes. I've stopped abusing those for a while because one of the things that really really really put me of a sculpture before it's done is seeing it half finished in the brutal magnification of the camera lens.

Oh and I thought I recognized the picture  :icon_smile: I've just briefly seen earthdawn but don't know much about it.
And I'm pretty proud of myself. I'm of to bed now but a full nude WITH face (no beards horns or tusks yet though...) and lacking arms did get finished tonight along with two female bodies for another idea. A good evenings work   :icon_smile:

I know what you mean. Well if you do put some of the better ones up, you never know you just might spur someone to buy them from you.
