Orctober
Posted: October 4, 2014 Filed under: art, monsters 2 CommentsOne of the illustrators whose work I enjoy and admire, Zhu Bajiee, mentioned some sort of ‘Orctober’ thing where he presents images of orcs. OK, I can get on board with that.
Here is a drawing I did recently where I was trying out some sort of funky new Japanese brush pen thing (I really like it) and drew a character that I am working on for something else. He isn’t really an orc, but his face is fucked up and I guess that makes him orc-ish (sort of). Really, I just wanted an excuse to post this picture:
Then there is this picture that I drew a while ago of orcs hanging around killing and getting killed:
I particularly enjoy the dude with an arrow in his forehead. Makes me chuckle every time.
And, finally, a drawing from a few years ago that I always liked. These are goblins (cousins of orcs, I guess), but I think close enough:
I was afraid you were going to post _that one_ orc or goblin picture that created such a stir a few years back. 🙂
Love the orctober meme.
Happy Orctober! That Half orc is a solid piece of drawing. Fun stuff, nice attention to footware and headgear. And thanks for the shout-out.
