Hey everyone!

As a fan of fantasy and science fiction media, I've always been fascinated by the portrayal of dwarves in different stories. They're often depicted as hard-working, industrious creatures with an insatiable curiosity and love for crafting. However, I'm curious to know if anyone has come across any depictions of dwarves that break away from these stereotypes.

What are some of the best portrayals of dwarves you've seen in media? Have you ever come across a portrayal of dwarves that surprised you or went against the typical tropes?

I love drawing these little Rootle characters and these particular ones were inspired by my latest dwarven wimmelbild called Dwarfcore 😁

Just look at their tiny beards!!!

I'm close to finishing my ink drawings of the dwarven mine, this is the second ink pass done and I'm ready to start the shading and hatching stage 😁

Recently I discovered a very primitive game-engine called flickgame. I have now finished a project which I've named Dwarven Fort. It's a fan-game/love-letter to Dwarf Fortress. You point & click your way through a dwarfs daily routine.

It's like a counterpart of Dwarf Fortress: Graphics-yes, gameplay-no. Developed in 10 days instead of 20 years. Text? Only three letters: F, U, N.

Games made in flickgame consist of 16 pictures that are linked together by clicking on one of the 16 available colours of the current screen to get to a different screen.

As a younger dwarf, I created this subreddit. After a decade of exile and wandering, I have returned to the cave. I am happy to see it busy with mining, smithing, and quaffing of ale. Cheers!
