Who says tradition can’t have an edge? This magnificently braided warrior proves that centuries of stoneworking heritage and a rebellious mohawk coexist perfectly when you’re stubborn enough. Those intricately woven beard braids adorned with metal rings tell stories of craftsmanship passed down through generations—while that defiant crest of hair says this particular smith doesn’t follow every rule in the guild book.

The serious, no-nonsense expression belongs to someone who’s earned their place at the anvil through skill, not pedigree. That mustache alone could intimidate apprentices, while those carefully maintained braids with their metalwork accents suggest someone who takes pride in their appearance despite spending days underground hammering ore into legend.

Those metal rings scattered through the beard are a painter’s playground. Imagine brass clasps catching forge-light, silver bands engraved with ancestral runes, or even gemstone-studded ornaments suggesting a master craftsman who can afford to flaunt their success. The mohawk adds unexpected vertical height that makes the piece immediately distinctive on any shelf.

Perfect for building unconventional clan leaders, forge masters who’ve modernized ancient techniques, or younger dwarves pushing back against their elders while still honoring the old ways. This is the head for characters who respect tradition enough to know which rules are worth breaking.

Some dwarves mine ore. This one mines creativity from bedrock tradition.
