Natural Dwarf




Warning: Somewhat long rant on females and body hair follows :-)

I've been playing at Poser long enough that, at times, I am inspired to do an image that features content that isn't necessarily in my 'interest group'.

In this case its body hair on women :-)

As some may or may not know, one of my favorite artists her at DA is MalcolmD: MalcolmD at DeviantArt

In addition to drawing women with Huge Boobies :-), one of his other 'specialties' is what I wouild call 'natural' women: women with prominent body hair, pubic or otherwise.

He has done a series of Female Fantasy Dwarf images in the past with this theme, and in some he even has a good rationalization for why humans mistake female dwarves for male (tendency to grow their head hair into long braids which they sometimes wear tied under their chins, and I would even guess for the heavy pubes, they would produce a noticeable bulge in the pants :-)): Dwarven Thunder Blessing by MalcolmD

So, along these lines, I once again return to Daz Studio and the Genesis figure, so that I attach a male beard to the female figure.  I seem to have beaten the rendering problems I was having with Daz (although a render still takes WAY longer than in poser, even without much in the image).

In this case I didn't give this female dwarf a full beard, but some 'muttonchops', as well as a full bush and even a so-called 'Treasure Trail' along her abdomen :-)

I also put some hair on her forearms, but I think it was a bit too thick there (had a shorter hair prop, but was too lazy to re-render it with that).

There is a long standing debate among fans of Dungeons and Dragons on if female dwarves should have full beards or not.  Of course I fall on the side of 'not', but I could compromise with something like this (still unusual, but not the total turnoff that a bearded woman would be :-)).

MalcolmD says: Whoa, great stuff! It's nice that my work can sometimes help inspire imaginations like yours. I notice that you went for darker skin and hair colors that are more faithful to most of the dwarven descriptions in D&D texts, so I would guess that you were also influenced by that material.

As it happens, I have some affection for sideburns too, but I usually reserve them for shifters so as to give that race some definition.

I have noticed that Forgotten Realms Dwarves tend to be darker skinned than 'standard' fantasy dwarves, so maybe that was in the back of my mind.

Now that I think about it, sideburns on the Shifter race does make a lot of sense. I think I remember way back in the first animated version of "The Avengers" that Tigra was like that (with large tufts of fur around her forearms and calves as well).
