Dwarf

The Dwarves are side characters of my university Senior Project, "Oxorin: Nightshade". They walk on their long side arms, and use all three sets of limbs for climbing in large cave systems, where they often create marvelous civilizations. I was inspired by ants and termites, and their community driven efforts to create great structures in large communities. 
My goal was to create an interesting, appealing design that could also realistically move in a unique way, given their evolution within large cave systems. I wanted them to have the essence of traditional dwarves, while also having a sense of fantasy that is alien to humans.
