Looks good, makes me think a bit of that Bakshi "Wizards" style... and there hasn't been a whole lot of that lately.

It's a cool sketch, but a bit confusing. Is he on life support?
Actually, he's been tied into the Omni Defensive Barrier Matrix, which he designed to protect the dwarven population from the raging hordes of orcs. Sadly, he never finished the Matrix, but plugged himself in to activate it anyways. The ODBM malfunctioned and trapped the consciousness of the dwarven god in its mainframe for 1500 years.
Interesting... ;-) You have any personal rationalization for all the tubing and wiring to the 'armor' versus the brain? Could be fun if that's literally what keeps him from walking away, 'specially while his mind's off occupied with 'ODBM' business.
(Dwarves are HIGHLY advanced technologically, as they no longer have magical abilities, due to their patheon being destroyed in the previous god war.)
I was never much for fantasy as a kid, but I eat this stuff up now after Douglas Adams gave his whole perspective on it... Not to mention that it gets more and more difficult to do good 'hard' SF, but that's another story. (Don't let me overanalyze it before you're done!)
