Description
Firebeards: Hot-headed, warlike and tough, Firebeards came from Nogrod (Tumunzahar) in the Blue Mountains. Supreme metalworkers, they are said to have invented maille. They are also hailed as the greatest Blade-smiths among Dwarves, and naturally many of the best came from their ranks, such as: Gamil Zirak (said to be the greatest of all times, maker of the knife Angrist, the sword Andúril and the Dragon-Helm of Dor-Lómin), as well as the legendary Dwarf-smiths Telchar and Garmur. They befriended the elves with whom they traded profusely, and were commissioned by King Thingol of Doriath to delve Menegroth as well as to create treasuries and weapons for him. The necklace Nauglamír was their greatest creation for the King, and the cause of equally great woe.🎨 Your encouragement and appreciation fuel my passion for creating art.

Thank you kindly Sergio! It's much appreciated, and very encouraging. Trying to follow in your Dwarven culture-crafting footsteps is heaps of fun.
Sculpting work is calling, but I'll try to get a doodle in every now and then nevertheless.
Cheers!

Smiths and artisans. The Celtic streak is strong in this one, with good reason. Fine mining of the house names themselves for clues.

Each and every one of these dwarvish portraits is a particular favourite, but this has to be my Particular favourite for the simple reason that Master Firelock here has the most magnificent beard by far!

Thanks a lot my friend.
I have to say I have a personal attachment to this guy. In my youth, I used to sport a long mop of hair, trailing dow to my waist, and it was very much alike to this dwarf's beard and hair. Only of a different colour, more like a mouse's little coat
My idea was to make it more like the fire that is their namesake.

Fascinating portrayal of a member of a proud and profound people! I really like his weapons and armour, quite original, still feels characteristically dwarvish.
