i finally finished that new elf pic. here's a comparison of the old versino with the recent one:

and

what I find weird about the new costume is that I designed him wearing gloves and sandals. His hands are covered, but his feet are not. hmm.

anyway off to drawing a big, violent beard-tank.

Anyway, DF doesn't have canon on the beard/no beard issue.  The beards are included in the raws, they just don't have brackets.  So it's easy to switch them on or off.

Female Dwarves in the next version of DF do not have beards. Toady has repeatedly stated that he doesn't think female dwarves have beards. The DF canon is pretty clear on the matter.

I'm also of the opinion that female dwarves don't have beards in any fantasty lore.

Anyways, I like the newer Sylvan picture better than the other one.

They have beards in the Discworld.

Okay, MOST fantasty lore. I haven't read Discworld, so I'm not influenced by that.

Considering the wide-reaching scope of different kinds of fantasy, trying to suggest that there's any cohesive image of 'Dwarves' across the genre is rediculous.

Yea well, in most or just about all fantasty stuff that I've read where female dwarves do appear, they don't have beards.

Who cares.

Like I said- we can put beards on anything.

Yes indeed, there can be beard golems,  spawned from torn off dwarven beards.

I'm not going to link it, but isn't there a TVTropes page named 'All Our Dwarves are the Same'?

what about artemis fowl dwarves?

sure, they dig.. but they do it by unhinging their jaws and chewing through the soil. Which they then eject from their rears as compressed stone. also, they have prehensile beards and glowing saliva.

I'd say they're really only named dwarves- but they're closer to an existing cliche of mole people. Illusion of creativity. Not that they weren't creative, but they're also not as far from established concepts as the 'misnomer' would lead you to think.

Yeah, we'll just leave that in the dark where it should stay.
