Finally!! It´s been a very long, fun and sleepless journey. So here is my final submission:
CONCEPT SHEET
I kind of suck at drawing, so I usually just get into sculpting and try stuff, you can see the process on the thread... But one thing I like to do is create a back story for the character, So Here it is:
Thror is the blacksmith of his small village. He´s got a wife, and two daughters, life is simple, and he likes it that way. As every dwarf he likes to drink, we could say that sometimes too much, but who does not like a cold beer after a long day at the forge. One day he drank too much, he was not far from home, but not close enough... he stamble into the stables scaring the horses, finally he felt down into a "well deserved" sleep.
He woke up, his head... what time is it... the smell of smoke... He goes out the stables, fire and ashes everywhere, he runs, he runs home. He enter the ashes to find his wife´s body. He can´t see well, tears cover his face, he looks for his daugthers, he can´t see well, he looks but they are not there...
For the last time he will use the forge. He makes an Iron Gauntlet, he will need it.
Thror never found out what happened that night, so he is always looking for his daugthers, somehow he knows they are still alive. Somehow he knows he will find them, and in his way many will have to pay for what they did .
This is the story of Thror Ironfist.

My friend Joao Pires has been closely following the project at work, and he did this animation with the character, he almost did not have time, but man he made him come alive!! Thanks bro
So keep in mind I did not do this animation but I really wanted to show it, cause it´s the best feeling when they come alive, hope you guys like it:
I did a quick postpo and add some music cause it deserved it, I need to sleep for a week now! nothing fancy (it was 2am when finishing so, that´s what you get jaja)
