WIP - Dwarf Character

JoeNoble

Hey guys, I've been working on this Dwarven character for my portfolio and I'm just looking for some feedback regarding the general proportions of the body. It's my first attempt at making something super-deformed like this and would like to get some fresh eyes on it if possible. I'm yet to start work on the head - want to get the basic gesture of the body right before I worry about that, so any feedback will be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

Hey guys, here is a quick update of my Dwarven character. I haven't progressed too far since my last post due to lack of free time, hopefully ill be making much faster improvements from here.

Nevertheless ive made some adjustments and some more feedback on the anatomy would be really useful, or on anything else you would care to mention.

Thanks!

Take this as you please dude - with a Dwarf being a fantasy creature it's really up to the artist to take it in the best direction they see fit.

I think you should play about with the basic forms a bit more. I feel that he should have a bigger gut, broader shoulders, and his legs and bottom should be lengthened slightly.

Personally I feel fantasy creatures can look a lot more visually interesting when you really push the style of it and add visual flair instead of making them too "realistic" in proportion. Check out this concept by Matt Rhodes http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/14800000/Humans-Elves-Dwarves-Qunari-concept-art-dragon-age-origins-14855999-1920-1080.jpg

Hope that helps.
