I vote cornrows, they look almost ceremonial with that beard and give the impression that this is a dwarf noble who commands respect. The bald dwarf looks like a front-line fodder.

I vote cornrows, and for lowering the eyebrows just a little.

[Linarc]

cornrows as well

[Varenus Luckmann]

Definately bald. The beards look a bit strange with bald hair, though, mainly because they end so abruptly. But still - bald.

Cornrows look better but I prefer him bald.

Why do dwarfs have to look mean?Hes a noble not a commoner so its ok.

You just posted why I'm not exactly sure of his hair. He's regal who was dishonoured. Slayer tradition says that he must get:
a Mohawk (which isn't available)
dye his hair/beard red
get facial tattoo's
and seek his death in battle fighting the strongest enemy he can find.

Will he go beserk (in which case a fierce appearance is appropiate) or will he still be the general he was trained to be (in which case I like his face fine)? And while I think bald gives him a more regal/experienced appearance I
have to agree with Balgin Stondraeg/Rivie, the tattoo's end too abrubtly for bald.

As for a fiercer look

Old looks


New looks

Now lowering the eyebrows does seem give him a bit fiercer look.

On the otherhand if I play around with the portrait expressions getting an agressive look is simple. So I guess that the face is good enough for me.


So I'm going to keep this topic open for hopefully some more comments.

Score so far:
Bald: 12
Cornrows: 16

Thanks to everyone for their input.

I would use the cornrows, myself.

That questiong and advice will come from what are you trying to do with the dwarf? A noble commander? A warrior of honor? For me they both have there perks to them. The bald shows a wisdom and age that would be fitting to a commander a reagle proud dwarf that stands at the forfrunt of the lines of the armys. To be a sight of moral for the common and uncommon warriors.



The cornrows are fitting for a warriors heart. A man that seeks a honorable fight but isnt fearful of the rage so many are scared of in battle. The focus is in his eyes not his hair. He shows a presence that would give off a feeling to the foe "I am not alone, and I am not fearful of you"



So with that said it would be what you would want that dwarf to be. Wisdom in battle and war is a wonderful thing. But so is the unfearful gaze and look of a raged focused warrior. (just because a warrior can or could become berserk doesnt mean they will be unfocused in battle)



Dont let the tallys and the votes be a stone to set it on. Be it what you see the dwarf as...though then again Gruthgar the dwarven warrior that I have would befriend that dwarf there with out a single thought of hair type...



But I guess thats a very middle of the road answer to the question on hand. But its the best I can give you Calibisto. How ever he may look. May he place fear in the hearts of his foe and be a moral boost to his friends!

[Symphyon]

[ggpi]

Bald is for Badass.

[lviklander]

Cornrows make him look like more of cheiftain so I say go for that one.

[Midnight Reyn]

I'd pick the cornrows - especially if you are going with the portrait expression you posted. The cornrows suit that expression better (in my opinion).

[Shadow_cake]

The Cornrows seem to fit better with the tatoo, since without hair the forehead portion of the tatoo seems to end abruptly.
