This is Gzurnag Raoztar, my Original Dwemer Character that I created today :P Don't have his backstory yet, but I hope his looks shows his character/personality to some extent.

It means that I've reached my goal
The pictures I have seen the Dwemer skin is yellowish-white but maybe you should ask Trainwiz who is the authority on all things Sotha Sil and Dwemer
EDIT: ok so it seems that this is an argument that can't be decided.

However the main point taken from the above link: "...is that the Dwemer used to live underground in rather dark places so one could assume they were quite pale (although I doubt they were as pale as Yagrum or the Dwemer ghost). Also, if they are descendants of the Aldmer the color of their skin could be from pale yellow to pale orange/honey/pink Hidronax (talk) 17:05, 15 November 2013 (GMT)"

Still this doesn't take away from your drawing which I happen to like much, much.
Anyways, thank you soooo much! :3
This is really cool work, maybe he was a tonal architect...? I really wish more was known about the dwemer, as they were crazy-awesome geniuses... equal parts crazy and awesome, mind you >v<
Really though, you did very well! The only complaint I have is the skin-color; I don't believe the dwemer had ashened skin -- they spent much of their time below the ground that they probably had rather fair skin. Maybe closer to the chimer? Yagrum Bagarn is the only real dwemer to reference, but he was affected by corprus, so I guess it's harder to guess what shade his skin-color was before-hand -- heck, maybe they were ashened-skin! XD
Anyways, great work, I feel that this really captures the essence of the dwemer's mysterious magic/religious/scientific appearance. Well done!
Well, I wrote a little more about him on my Deviantart page:
"This is my original Dwemer character
His name is Gzurnag Raoztar
I don't have much of his backstory yet, but I may add it here once I have it.
For now, I only know that he is Mage-Scholar type, also Tonal architect and researcher"
As for skin color, it's not completely ashened grey in reality, It's more gray with a little greenish yellow color mixed in. I don't really know what kind of skin they had (noone knows except few characters in Tamriel, but they won't talk about it xD ) But I based the color of of this http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/elderscrolls/images/3/3b/MW-Dwemer.png/revision/latest?cb=20120107003839
I believe they have similar skin color, just like my Skyrim dwemer character that I've made

Anyways, thank you very much, for your kind words! :3
And yes, I've been messing around with dwemer stuff more than usual recently, what with my dwemer cube and a few other projects like [This information has been censored due to its denotation as highly classified and top secret in nature.]
I suppose you're right that no-one's ever seen their skin color >v< If only Yagrum Bagarn was willing to tell us the little details that he "conveniently forgot" through corprus... It's a conspiracy I tell you! >v<
Edit: Oops! I forgot to add the "You're welcome" in there... huehuehue
Anyways, I do agree that it's very suspicious that Yagrum Bagarn forgot everything >_>
Btw, Thanks again xD
Next thing you know, the dwemer'll create some tools and tap into the heart of a god with them before disappearing from nirn. What'll ever become of this? x3
