They are working as miners, some are famous fighters and others are nice little helpers. Some have a long beard and most of them wear a big cap. You know them from books, fairy tales and from your neighbour's garden...

Topic: Dwarves

Rules:
- create an original, playable character
- maximum number of colours is 32 inclusive transparency
- sprite size must not be larger than 60x80 pixels
- any kind of dwarf is allowed (except giant dwarves :))

I hope you enjoy this Jam. Good luck and have fun!

I like dwarves so I made one.

In 12 colors, meet Harry Tabarge!






and his 11 color c-64 counterpart



Both are low color enough (but with large enough proportions) to make a nice adventure game character.

Can I draw a character from a book? I mean it isn't drawed in the bokk itself but the character is discribed in the book so I could easily draw him. Is that allowed?

EDIT:
His name is Orik he is a character from books called 'Eragon' and 'Eldest' he is a member of dwarf clan called Durgrimst Ingietum


He is not drawed exactly as the book discribed and its 21 colors
- They are all from AGS coloringball

Yaharr, as an old dwarf maniac I'm so in! You know, my dad translates fantasy to Finnish, all the Weis-Hickman, Salvatore, Gemmel etc books. I used to like them when I was young, now I realized how empty they are and my dad agrees. Added that I also had quite a collection of those Warhammer dwarves... Oh yeah, and I used to draw this comic about the angry dwarf that would go about killing people :P

Taking the "whole" idea from a book wouldn't be original then. But you can use the description for your inspiration and enchant it with your own ideas.

OK. She's meant to be a Pirate Chef Dwarf. Apart from she doesn't look very Dwarf like. So uh, you can decide Klaus.

Urgle Lightfeet, a miner, except he is the only dwarf hard of seeing in the dark and he carries with him his candle and lantern. He won't admit it though.

Although rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer's disease don't make things easier, Grams Digwinkle is still mighty crafty with the ole pick axe. But what ever you do, don't mention his age, or he'll treat your shin to his metal capped boot!
