But how do you get him to stand still?
Or has he drunk so much he's actually on the floor and your aiming your easel down at him?

Paralyzing agent in his beer. Works every time - never met a fictional dwarf who could resist a good cold beer!

I just noticed that you gave him a forked uvula in the original sketch... I have a forked uvula. How quaint.
As far as dwarves go, I get my fill of them on the job Monday - Friday, though they're not always drinking...
(I work for a video game company, currently focused on this title . Maybe I should spend more time with the character artists...)

Thanks! It's been exciting to work on and I do enjoy my job.
Ah, as a fellow Mac user, I feel your pain. More often than not, mainstream video games tend to focus on the big three - PC, PlayStation and Xbox. Seems to be the nature of the beast. I'm accustomed to being mocked by my coworkers for being a Mac user... and various other eccentricities I have...

Now what we need is a step by step commentary on youtube or something of you saying "this is what I am doing now, and now this and this with this setting using this brush on this opacity with this amount of flow on a separate layer etc etc..." lol. Love the work Dave. I just saw how to train a dragon today, even though its a dwarf it has that viking flavor going on. Cheers!
