The idea of dwarves compacting into little jar-shaped pods during stasis just rings so true to their subterranean origins. Very cool designs.

[SquishypuffDave]

Elves are so domesticated in modern fantasy compared to how they appear in folk tales, I'd love to see you go back to the drawing board with them.

[Kriaris]

I love the idea that they tattoo each others backs as a show of trust and intimacy

[maniacmagge]

I LOVE the designs with the whole concept of "Not Meant for Humans" that reminds you that these are entirley different species not just short humans with beards. Making them seem mildly uncanny in their humanoid and familar appearance yet giving them an alien feel is just awesome!

[VekErro]

Stumbled across this at random, but I absolutely love these little guys. Ideas like this can really freshen up a well known concept.

[WuffieGG]

I'd love to see you redesign orcs and minotaurs. The way you made the dwarves looks absolutely astonishing!

[Agarricus]

I'm a huge fan of this concept, I'd love to see as many fantasy races reimagined as you'd want to

[AntrozLPs]

This feels like a race you would see in a fever dream. The uncanny valley is so strong. I can imagine feeling very uneasy around these creatures despite their hospitality and friendliness, just because they are so alien. I probably couldn't spend too long in their home because I would crave the familiarity of human cultures so much. An absolutely incredible design!

I don't know where this video came from, but I'm incredibly glad that Youtube suggested this to me. This is literally what I do, I love to see other concept artists out there.

[ShadowKueken]

The first thing that came to mind when I saw your design was a scenario:
A big cavern, small streams of water flow trough, big stalactites and stalagmites, hints of craftmanship and artistry on the walls
You walk trough it wondering what ancient civilization has lived here and then you see the strange pots sitting on every stalagmite turning with you and curiously observing the first human they have seen in centuries

[crabbyfez]

Ive always thought that gnomes were far too close to halflings or dwarves in terms of design so it would be really cool if you could put an interesting spin to them

[lunondisposable]

I love the "condenses into jar-shaped mass when sleeping" bit, it reminds me of Gorons looking like boulders when they curl up. Maybe these dwarves also eat the ore they process? They would need some way of growing their carapace, perhaps even recycling shed shells?

[feebleterrance]

This is incredible. I love how alien they feel while also conjuring a sense of familiarity.

[BlandTomtarOchTroll]

I love the contrast between how friendly they act and how eldritch they look!

[jimsmith]

1:55 this idea of their body parts slotting into place and the end result you arrived at is perfect, I love the concept that they can fold down into themselves sitting down appearing almost like a pot lmao, really love the creativity!

[Fergusius]

As someone who is a big Tolkien and fantasy fan, and a HUGE fan of Durin's folk and of dwarves as a fantasy race in general (the way they are always portrayed that is), I never thought your reimagining of them as some kind of humanoid, insect-like race would be so weird but also very plausible and interesting. I really like how you envision them while sleeping. So cool and so weird :D

[OryxTheDragon]

So this is what pure creative talent looks like.

I stand in awe.

[saturn]

The "manufactured organic" look is something I'm going for with a personal project, I love what you've done with the idea!

[Araanor]

As a Faroese person, who's been to Iceland, and Norway, and currently lives in Denmark. The amusement of not handelig the local food and drink sounds very Nordic. loved this.

[Someone-sqim]

Changed the dwarf? That’s going in the book, lads!
