Description
Ideally, I would have some brilliant story about these three dwarves and why they're cracking open a gate in the roots of a gnarled tree and why the one dwarf has a key and the other dwarf is giving him a "get on with it" look and maybe touching on why the dwarves look like miniature Santas or the exact cause of my favorite dwarf's male pattern baldness.But I got nothin'. I just wanted to paint tree bark and something with a honkin' big nose and a beard.

Practice, practice...you'll get that bark perfect... Love the pix. Maybe it's a secret store of truffles down among the roots that they're raiding...

Not every painting needs a story 
Well it has skill too but that's only natural with you I believe. *patpat*
I love it! These dwarves are much cuter than any other dwarf I've ever seen. If you keep this up I might start liking dwarves after all

I absolutely love the style of this...wow. Classic storybook style but with MUCH more detail, and nicely drawn lines. Reminds me of Norse times as well.
The only thing I can see wrong with this is that the dwarf with the key has a nose which is too shiney. Other than that, this is spot-on.

Looks great. You did extremely well on that tree. Your work on the hair is beautiful as well. Well done.

That is some great tree bark. And the little guys look so oddly clean and shiny!
Reminds me of one of those fairy tales about three brothers... Really nice work.

And for all that you got cool tree bark and three honkin' noses and three beards..which sounds oddly like Treebeard which could get you all things needed in one tree!
Anyway awesome painting and my fav dwarf is the little one with the key, thinking he's all that and then some!

And damn, do you paint tree bark nicely!
I love the cute little dorf noses! Well, they aren't really little. I want to hug them all, but the one with the key especially. He looks like a runt. ^__^

The color sceme makes it really "forresty"
and give the dwarfs a sort of seriousness...
