Yes, I tried it ... once I wanted to play a female dwarf and looked some days for pictures. But there weren't any of female dwarfes, only male with beards ... Here it is, my version of female dwarves ... (black ink, computer colored)

Actually...you can never be sure if what you found were all male pictures, being that ALL dwarves have long beard, both male and female both...you can't really tell a huge difference between male and female dwarf, for the are all masculine, kinda like just about all elves usually have fiminine look to them, and are sometimes hard to tell apart.

:-) Gloria H. Manderfeld replies: "Not in every RPG system female dwarves have beards. AD&D, DSA for example have beardless females, in Terry Pratchetts "Discworld" they have some. So we have to decide which world we want to use as beginning point for drawing ideas - I used AD&D, to show more feminine touch at this character."

I like how you gave a feminine touch to her, this is probably the best female dwarf I have ever seen. Like the background, shading and detail are excellent I hope you'll do more dwarves in the future.

:-) Gloria H. Manderfeld replies: "I'm originally elven drawer and it's not easy to draw characters I never play in any RPGs. *smiles* But maybe, some day there pops up another dwarv in my mind and wants to come out 12"

Oh she is wonderful and I love the background, great ideas you have Gloria I am still amazed at all the pictures....

:-) Gloria H. Manderfeld replies: "*blushes* thanx for all the nice words ... hey, with all these comments I HAVE to make new art 2"

On the d&d site you can find some portrets of dwarvish woman. (And they don't have beards.)

:-) Gloria H. Manderfeld replies: "Yep. 2 And in fact, I prefer the non-bearded dwarven women to those with beards ...you can't see their faces when they are covered with that much hair .. "

I really did enjoy the intense beauty in the dwarvish maid. she has her style of brutal appearance, yet however you caught the romantic heavenly side as well. The true picture of all people. whether bearded or not !!!

FINALLY!Some one finally did a female dwarf!!! Thank you! Thank you so much! Youre my hero!

Hehehe... Don't make fun of THIS little lady, that axe looks sharp... I love her, all my ideas of dwarven women included small plump matriarchs who make me think of Molly Weasley picking berries and bakeing bread, but she looks more like someone who would make Gimli order pizza...
