At lest as I understand there is no interest from Vic in drawing for this topic...
If anybody wants to send me some nice drawings for the dwarven pantheon - better for the clothing of the priests  - this would be very gladly recieved. The material would be for privat use only (maybe presented in my rollplaying group) - I'm collecting "nice little dwarven stuff"
