May I ask a question? Are any of the dwarrowdams more…fuller figured? Back in October, I was seriously considering getting a dress pattern and fabric to see about dressing up as on of the dwarrowdams from Sansukh for Halloween (yes I dress up to hand out candy, I’m a nerd like that), but I didn’t because I thought I’d be too heavy to pull it off. I ended up being Lily Munster, so I don’t know why I hesitated so much about the dwarrowdams, tbh, it just would’ve felt wrong somehow.

YES. THEY ARE. ALL OF THEM ARE. 

I don’t really jive with any depiction of Dwarves as skinny, Nonnie. All of my girls are fuller-figured. 

They have different variations and placements of fat and muscle, of course: but they’re all solid and thickset. Here’s a quick list for you, detaling some of them as I’ve come to see them, and I hope it makes you smile! I dearly hope you cosplay a Dwarf lady. I think you would be wonderful. Really wonderful. 

– Hrera (A PROPERLY PLUMP BROADBEAM TUMMY, CHUNKY LEGS AND ANKLES, medium bosom, rolls and dimples at her wrists)
– Baris (Tummy, big bosom AND thick thighs. Soft arms just right for cuddling. Also, you ever seen a professional opera singer’s ribcage and torso? SHE BUILT.)
– Alris (SUPER STRONG ARMS, hella big hips and bum, small bosom – this lady is definitely gifted in the caboose area)
– Bomfris (a lovely Broadbeam tummy, muscled arms from archery, very broad shoulders and back, short legs)

– Fris (shortest of my girls. she has a big-hipped pear-bottom with cute pinch-rolls of skin high upon her back, and thick, soft padded arms.)

– Mizim (a famous beauty, she has a clear double chin, a sweet soft tummy, delicious thick thighs that kiss and spill against each other, abundant silvery hair)
– Orla (MASSIVE BOSOM. Like, HUGE. MASSIVELY STRONG ARMS, barrel-waisted, heavy-muscled thighs and calves, A BIG LASS)
– Dis (STRETCH. MARKS. Loose skin over her belly. Arms that have lost muscle mass for fat instead. LOOSE SKIN.)
– Gimris (this girl is a beauty like her mum! CHIN. TUMMY. LOVELY BIG LEGS. She has clearly defined shoulder-muscles from hauling around all day.) 

I really, REALLY from-the-bottom-of-my-heart hope that this has given you some confidence and some ideas, Nonnie. I believe you would be a stupendous Dwarrowdam. I truly do.

Dis.  

I liked how the underpainting of my previous piece looked without the outlines so i decided to try and do a speed painting of sorts (this took about an hour) without using outlines.  Her hair is based off a photo I remember seeing once of some celebrity with a giant awesome mohawk/braid thing, but I honestly have no idea who it was 😛

It was fun, but I feel that I really enjoy the little things I add here and there with my outlines, so it’s probably not something I’ll do very often.

And now it’s time for a late night cosplay progress post, because I got caught up working on this and lost track of time. I spent almost seven hours today in ninety degree heat moving all my possesions into a different storage place. While this sucked in terms of being tired and sore and overheated, it DID mean that I was able to extract all my costumes, as well as my sewing tools and wig maintanence tools, from storage. Therefore, I was at last able to style the wig and beard for Ymris!

It took SO much work making this extremely cheap and crappy wig and beard set look decent. I shudder to think about how much fabric softener, baby powder, and hairspray is in this wig right now. However, I am pretty pleased with how it looks. Since Ymris is supposed to be a great beauty, I figured she needed a more elaborate braiding style than I am using for Baris. I also wanted to add SOME elements that indicated her place in Dori, Nori, and Ori’s ancestory. Not sure how well I accomplished that last, but hey, I think it’s pretty good for a cosplay I didn’t even decide to do until three weeks before the con.

Now, because I am wearing this with a super jangly belly dance costume, I may sew bells into the wig and beard, assuming the giant supply of bells I ordered shows up in time. But either way, it is now in a wearable state.
