Ice Ogre!

this is just a taste before colors, thank you Patrick Hoover for the pinup on the same week as Ogar's.

I've been slacking with my blog posts but here's my Ork so far for this week. I'm going to add some stylistic smoke behind him and then send it off to Rio Herrera to find a colorist.

Went old school D & D style Orc for my ink wash...not really a LOTR guy...

Orc Orc Orc...

Apparently I didn't really know much about orcs.  For instance, according to Patrick, there are different levels of sissy for orcs and in Lord of the Rings there are tons of them but they all look different and in World of Warcraft they have giant hammers and oh wow I had no idea orcs had such rich representation.

Now knowing all this, I had a blast this week drawing some orcs.  Here is the one I came up with.  I just sort of cobbled together different elements of orcs I liked.

However, I couldn't let orc week go by without paying tribute to one of my favorite comics from the past couple years, Orc Stain.  James Stokoe is an amazing illustrator and his Orc Stain is some kind of crazy which I think is something we need in comics every now and then.  It is completely different than anything I have ever seen before.  This looker here is the mighty Tzar of Orcs.  He has the largest Gronch collection of slain orcs (Orc penis, for those not in the know).  

I am not sure what happened to this series but all of Stokoe's work is amazing.  His Sullivan Sluggers and current run on Godzilla were a heck of a lot of fun.  If you are into weird fantasy and orc junk definitely check out Orc Stain.

Smorkin' Orc

Sketched this on my iPad.  I lost a more detailed version when I pressed the wrong button last night, but I kinda like the feel I got from this.

This was drawn in ProCreate with a PogoConnect stylus.

Lok'tar Ogar! Blood and Thunder!

ORCS! I love orcs. But not those sissy LoTR orcs. World of Warcraft orcs! Love drawing these guys. Here's a quick drawing I did of Thrall from World of Warcraft. I've got a colored version in the works.

But because I love orcs, here are some drawings I've done in the past...

Hopefully this inspires my fellow Timberline bloggers. Never too many orcs. Never.

Cheers
Patrick

An Orc

Just got this ink of an Orc done. I'll probably throw some half tones on it later.

Quick sketch for this week

Orc

It's an orc!

Did this one completely by hand.  I found some of the Faber Castell gray-tone brush markers, so figured I'd just do some stuff in the traditional method.  Red eyes done courtesy of some old markers.

So.  There y'go then.
