Elven Dwarf - Barkon
I am working on a elf character who was raised by dwarves. I hope to tell a story through the character's garb and manners.
The short story is that the earth surface is too hot to live on so all inhabitants have moved underground. The elves moved in with the dwarves and things didnt go so well. Eventually they went to war until the elves agreed to move into old unused dwarven tunnels. During the war, an elven babe was left behind and taken in by a dwarven family. The elf was raised as a dwarf, with modified dwarven garb to fit his stature. They named him Barkon. The difference between him and his bearded companions is very obvious.
I will be painting Barkon's family photo with 5 hair bearded dwarves and their very tall baby faced brother.

I wanted to show that he is a misfit in the dwarven community. To emphasize this I was going to make him tall and skinny. He cant grow facial hair and has a very baby face. I dont think he can do any of the hard labor of mining.
This is my first male character, so any suggestions on the anatomy are appreciated. I have finished the body sculpt, but not the head. I didnt put any hands or feet on him because they will just be covered up by gloves and boots.
Here is a design paint over that had some elements that I hope give him a more dwarven feel. Does this give him a more dwarven feel?
Fingus haha now i saw you post, exactly!
He's started visiting the nearby colony of gnomes to escape from all of this and is whispered about by the ladyfolk cause he's a tall, rugged, moody stranger. It's here that he's starting to learn that he has innate magical gifts from association with the gnomish illusionists working at the artifact foundry there.
One can clearly see what will happen next.
Eventually he steals a magical artifact with powers he can only begin to understand. It causes a long-dormant, ancient power to be awakened from the depths of the underground and he must unlock his inner strength and the secrets of the artifact while on a heroic journey to save the people who once despised him. There's a romance subplot involving a rebellious gnomish princess and a pair of lost slippers and a strangely enticing dwarven love ballad.
Ultimately, the balance is restored and the boy becomes a man, but some of the dwarves still see him as an upstart and an enemy, setting up the scenario for the sequel in which the hero discovers there are other elves and that they have an ancient hatred of the dwarves. Which side will he choose and can he stop their mutual annihilation before the shadowy forces behind the fighting bring down their fragile peace?!
Whoa.
