Or short legz!

[Ancalagon]

Any look that is not SLIM. Some of the dwarves from the Hobbit movie do not look like dwarves. They should be stocky more than anything.

Agreed. Slim / slender dwarves just don't seem right. I've always envisioned dwarves as stocky / barrelchested and ready to lay waste to some goblins.

The exact opposite of above...this being my absolute least favorite dwarf look.

What the hell is that? NOT dwarves.

i don't know these are my favorite but they were an attempt at painting something good.

Right now I like Rak and Tuk from Galtar and the Golden Lance.

Finding pics is hard tho. Rak is in the intro @ 22 sec.

They're a father and son team, and just very greedy and underhanded. They'll do anything for gold.

Midget elves?

Those are really cool, Doug! I totally enjoy your stuff. Just don't steal all the illustration work from Erol!

At least someone agrees with me. They should be stocky. But this description is descended from Tolkien dwarves, yes? In fact, otherwise they are "dwarfs".

You guys, don't you get it? There's no male lead for the women to swoon over, so they had to make the dwarves skinny, hairless, and with abs...just like the Twilight "werewolves."

You can't put fat guys in a movie unless they fall down and are comic relief. The handful of dwarves that ARE stocky and chubby, will be the "funny" ones. Wait and see.

I'm afraid. I'm very afraid.

This was exactly what I was thinking when I saw the Hobbit movie dwarves for the first time!
you nailed it.

[drift] Has anyone actually seen the movie yet? is it good? Dwarf design aside? [/drift]

As much as I loved the LotR trilogy (with a few irritations), I'm not going to see The Hobbit. The dwarf designs killed it for me (what with Mssrs "We're Short Elves Really" Fili and Kili, Mr "I've-Got-An-Axe-In-Me-'ead!" Bifur, Mr "Check-My-Freaky-Hairdo!" Nori, Mr "I'm the BIG FAT Comedy Relief" Bombur, and Mr "Lookit-Mah-Funny-Hat!" Bofur), and the fact that they've stretched out a short tale over three freaking films means there'll be too much damn padding. Also, too much chance of lame lines being added ala "Give us the halfling, she-elf!" when things are spread that thin.
