Description
I finally have holidays, so I decided to do something with my old sketches (I have hundreds of unfinished scribbles, it kinda demotivetes me...).Dwemer were so cool, I wish there was more concept art of them...

Well their original design was inspired by Assyrian culture, so yeah, you're not the only one

HAH! I thought it was that.

Srsly the dwemer design is probably based off of the Mesopotamian civilization, none the less it's good!

A damn shame they disappeared, love their tech and architecture. Angular structures are always fun to look at.

To say nothing of those legendary beards! Their weapons and armor and buildings and architecture lasted forever, but the like of those beards shall not be seen again.

I never realized that I had yet to envision Dwemer Civilization since all we ever see of them are their ruins and left behind technology.
I really like this style for them actually.

I faved a lot of your pictures quite logn ago and started playing Skyrim again and, I just NEEDED TO SEE THIS PERFECTION AGAIN
This style seems to fit perfectly to the lore, that's amazing **

Have they? I didn't hear about this, do you have any sources of this information?

But there are only male ghosts in Morrowind?
Female elves in TES don't have beards, I doubt Dwemer would be any different.

Well I really don't know about any? Do you have any screens, sources?

... So you have no proof, just your word. Just give us a screenshot, and we'll believe you.

Just one "flaw" (in my opinion). They should have nearly black skin, shouldn't they?
👍: 0 ⏩: 3
No. Where'd you get that from?

No, in fact not even a little.

Ankalime, has done a great job of representing the Dwemer.

I don't think so? Just look at Yagrum Bagarn. Besides, they were 1) very close descendants of the Aldmer, 2) living underground, so I would say they should have quite pale, yellow skin.

Not exactly, their design is based on Assyrians

THANK you. I knew they had to be based on an ancient Middle Eastern civilization, I just couldn't recall the name.
But in any case, that was a brilliant idea. There's a hell of a lot of European influence in fantasy, and not enough, well, anywhere else.

Hah, thank you, but this is not exactly my idea - they are looking very Assyrian in their concept art: LINK
I just got inspired by this

would saying "close enough" be ignorant?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well, Babylon were under Assyrian control for some time, so I guess yeah, close enough

Brief History of the Dwemer (aka Dwarves) By Me: They were the biggest Jerks in Tamriel history...

Theives guild mission, the one where we were after Mercer, They had a torture chamber in there and Karlia explained that they were a cruel race.
Plus they left behind tech that's alive and that could kill us.

I'm pretty sure that almost every race can be cruel in their own way, and Dwemer weren't the only ones to have a torture chamber. They were fascinated with science and technology, so no wonder that a lot of their stuff still works. But I don't think it's their fault that there are careless people who seek treasures in their homes and get themselves killed.

I do actually think they are one of the cruelest races as they stabbed the snow elves in the back by poisoning them, torturing them and forcing them to work as slaves until they turned into mindless beasts
