Runes of the Busy Stonecarver

A busy dwarf craftsman leans over a block of stone. His shiny bald head and long beard frame a very serious face. He lifts a chunky hammer high while his other hand holds a sharp chisel steady. Rolled-up sleeves show strong arms ready to work.

Bold runes line the slab, and a braided knot border wraps around the edge. Little dots and cracks speckle the pedestal where the stone sits. He bends close, eyes squinting, checking every line so the letters look just right. You can almost hear the clink-clonk as he carves.

Fun Fact!

A common theme in fantasy is the rivalry between dwarves and elves, who often distrust each other's cultures.

Coloring Tips

  1. 1 Shade the stone with two grays; add darker lines in cracks and around runes.
  2. 2 Layer browns in the beard and leave a tiny white highlight for shine.
  3. 3 Make the runes glow with yellow or icy blue, then softly smudge a halo around them.
  4. 4 Use cool gray for the hammer head and warm brown for the handle to contrast.
