"In the Deep Halls, far from Men
Forsaken Red Mountain, Twisted Kin
Hail the Mind, Hail the Stone
Dwarven Pride, Stronger than bone"


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.

    This is EXACTLY how I always imagined the Dwemer to have looked like. Amazing picture.

      The only thing that is a little off for me is the skin colour. Their skin wasn't grey or greenish but the picture is still awesome!

      What color was their skin then? O_o Well, mine isn't really greenish, it's more yellowish grey. I based it of of dwemer spectre textures. And as far as I can tell, most of the artist that draw dwemers are using that skin tone. But if you have any lore information regarding dwemer skin color, do share. I'm always hungry for TES lore xD

      Well what I do know for sure is that the original dunmer's skin wasn't grey either. It was turned grey like ash.

      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.

      I've seen that lore talk about dwemer before. That's the thing, that nobody knows for sure.
      Anyways, thank you soooo much! :3

    Someone else has a strange fascination for dwemer!

    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!

      Indeed But not only for Dwemer, for Snow Elves as well (ironically enough xD )

      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

      I did get the idea that you may have partially gotten the skin color from the spectres, although I've always attributed their monotone color to being spectres, but hey that 's just me >v< This really is a cool concept art!

      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

      Well, I think spectres look like dwemers but just transluciant version of them.
      Anyways, I do agree that it's very suspicious that Yagrum Bagarn forgot everything >_>
      Btw, Thanks again xD

      Curses, now I've got to comment again to say "you're welcome"!

      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
