Another lady dwarf! This is Oster, one of Keter’s sisters. I learned that apparently there’s no mention of lady dwarves having beards in the books, so I feel more comfortable leaving her beardless.

Where Keter is a warrior and prefers to work with wood and stone, Oster is a caregiver, and works with fabric, thread and jewels. She has three sons and two daughters, and exquisitely embroiders clothes for her family and friends. Every stitch is a prayer for protection, good health, good fortune and happiness.

I always think the mention of bearded dwarf ladies to be Legolas and Gimli just messing around and trolling Eowyn in the movies. It seems like something they'd do.

That hair, that facial structure, that hairpin, the folds in the clothing... Ugh. Gorgeous. Her sister was too, looked like a total badass.

When I read Tolkien I never imagine the lady dwarves with beards either. The hair is gorgeous and girl must pluck her eyebrows. Haha i think this is great... I love the tiny detail in the clothing lining and the bells/beads? in her hair. :)

Wow, what a lovely profile. I think she's even more beautiful than Kester imho c:
In LotR/The Hobbit, there is no mention of bearded lady-dwarves, no - but in The War of the Jewels it says (apparently - I haven't read it, I just looked this up) that all dwarves have beards from the beginning of their lives. Apparently also, dwarf society seriously shelters its women and hides them from other races, so it's rare that dwarf-women go traversing the world and whatnot unless they're disguised as men. Which the beards would help with. I wonder what Keter and family think of that q: I'm guessing Oster wouldn't mind, but Keter might? heh.
Gosh I love your characters :3

The details are worked out very well, especially the hair.
Gonna use it to practice if it's okay (?) :)
