Looks like a dwarf. The heated steel was very well done.

Very nice, although the fact that you can see the brushmarks where the molten metal fades into the colder steel is kinda distracting. Better grading there would be good. Otherwise, I bet the RPG guys were impressed. It's very nice work.

Great composition. I am really enjoying the rough texture on the burly arms of the smithy. And he looks very nordic if not a bit dwarvish.
