Orc Portrait Series

[thespaceinvader]

No - they're intended for use in campaigns much like the old set of 5 orc portraits - there are so many generic orcish villains that single portraits for each unit would result in a lot of orcs talking (apparently) to themselves.

Grunt #7 is looking great otherwise, but seems to have somewhat "sleepy eyes" a bit like grunt #5 originally did. The rest of the portrait looks like he's really focused on something, yet the eyes give the appearance that he's more like daydreaming.

Kudos on the way you used light for #8. Also, I think expression for #7' is just great.

[thespaceinvader]

All the latest versions are committed for the archer, and last two/three grunts.

Final version for grunt #8, the last of the grunt series !
Light levels underwent massive changes in order to remain consistent with the other orcs (I felt the earlier version was over-saturated, with rather unnatural lighting)

Next, the slayer. I'm posting him with a quick rough lightsource.


TSI, when committing him would you please make either #7 or #8 the generic warlord portrait ? Their looted plate armor and nasty attitude befit the role better than the current portrait.

[Sapient]

If it's between #7 or #8 then probably it should be #7 due to the more standard weaponry. They all look great though.

I really love the slayer portrait and looking forward to seeing it finished. One suggestion to make it clear that he is wearing a mask would be to have it look freshly painted: maybe a little reflective but not too garish?

Thanks for the great orcs!

8 is very cool - as i already said, i love the lochaber axe.

However, grunt #4 is already the generic Warlord portrait - I think it works a bit better than either of the other two you suggested, given that it has both the helmet and the two swords. The other two are better for dialogue (and I'll get #8 in today as long as not major issues are noted), but i'd prefer to leave the generics as they are now, if you don't mind?

Perhaps slightly flaking paint instead? Several of the grunts have stains on their armour, chipped or notched weapons, and some tearing along the edge of their cloak. The slayer himself has a bit missing from his left sleeve. It seems like fresh paint might clash a little with the worn condition of the gear in the other portraits.

[Monroid]

In my opinion, the current Warlord image should go to the Warrior, the 7th grunt to the Warlord, and the current Warrior one to the Grunt

Just sayin'

[LordBob]

Na, they can remain as they are, I'm finally ok with it.

Regarding the slayer's mask, I intended to go for a worn out look rather than fresh paint. Though blood might be another option.

[CountPenguin]

for the mask, you could also make the paint more random, as if he had a mask, and then just smeared paint and/or blood across it

I would love to give any crits or suggestions if i could but then i would have to analyze the pictures for hours so I'll just stare for awhile. And drool.

[thespaceinvader]

Committed grunt #8.

[DUHH]

Must say I´m digging the colour scheme of these last ones.

Same here.
