Anno:
Hello World :hat off
I am an italian concept artist and I’m working with my team to create a new character of the Chaos Dwarfs.
The project includes a complete study of the character:
> background and origins
> illustrations and sketches
> a new miniature (engraved and printed)
Step by step I’II put all the material until the final result.
I hope you are interested!
We start with this illustration in black and white that soon will be colored -> it’s a small preview of Zargod!
Loki:
Sounds great Anno, that art work is ace, cant wait to see more and to see this one cloured 
Anno:

Zanko:
I´m curious what you will create!
It sounds very interesting and promising! :hat off
Perhaps you could create a character in the tradition of the old 3rd edition ones?!?!? 
I mean the real cool Chaos Dwarfs! :cheers
:hashut

I think you need to rethink the bottom of the mask where the tusks go ontop. Either the metal must be really thin there or the tusks stick out a lot.
You are probably a fan of the tusks, seeing as you’ve included them, but I think it would look better if the mask was extended down over the chin. OR just cut out a section where the mouth is so you can see the teeth normally.
You know Zhargon would be a much better name, after Sargon the ruler of Akkad (in mesopotamia, or Sargon II in Assyria). A nice hint towards the babylonian/ mesopotamian theme.

I understand your point of view (although I'm a fan of the tusks). The idea that led us to make this choice is that the mask should look like the top of the skull, while the mouth and tusks of the dwarf the jaw of a skull. Also repeating the tusks of the dwarf of making the largest tusks helped to enhance the appearance.

So, just curious, when is the expected fabrication date and how much do you expect thismodel to cost?
Put me down for 1 or 2 (depending on cost)… I really like the look.
