Well, the warg in the new version is very sketchy at the moment, I just painted it a lot bigger, with slightly longer paws too, so didn't have time to refine him yet.
I changed the warg and the orc as well. His head is now bigger (relative to his body) suggesting a smaller overall build, his hands smaller as well.
I tried the tail, but it looked like a dead fish so I made it into some trophy hair. Added some bird skulls and bones. Made the fur/leather a bit more patchy.
All right, no LOST this time (fortunately season 5 has ended ). Thank you for the suggestions, I'll tr to incorporate the orcish look. As to size - I can make the warg bigger, so the orc will look smaller in comparison. There is no other object of reference (apart from the tree and the plants). Or do you think I should keep the warg as is and scale the orc ?
Thank you all! There are a few things I want to change, and the log is one of them (Valan got it right, but it does look odd). If there are any comments about the clothing, now's the time to share them
Back from the dead.... here comes another incarnation of the orc image! I tried Artrage on it, a very nice application I must add. Hence the "painterly" look. Still not finished, but I'm working on it again. Any comments are most welcome and appreciated!
all right! now we need to decide which version of the orc (everybody voted for the second Warg). I must admit that I'm having a hard time myself. I'm not sure which pose would suit the character of the tribe better.
What about the background/scenery and folliage? what kind of plants can I put in there?
ehm. back on topic Thanks for comments and suggestions all!
I found the original thread. It's supposed to be a Rhom-oc orc tribe. So not the Ashz-oc (sorry Tharoc). Thank you for valuable comments though. Changing the clothing and face like suggested is no problem. Can't remember what ornaments/jewelry the orc should have, I'll have to look up the entry. Unless anyone has a good suggestion (keeping the tribe in question in mind)?
As for the original picture (with the huge warg and the tree): The problem is that of a scale and perspective. I the tree is supposed to be normal sized, I can't place too much behind it, because it will obstruct the view. I'm thinking of placing the orc in the front, beside the tree (to the right), and changing the warg so it will be climbing over the tree, or standing on it with his front paws, sniffing/looking to the left, while the orc will be looking to the right, both of them hunting. Would that be appropriate? We'd loose the female and the kid of course. I'll try to make a sketch of it asap, to make myself more clear.
Whatever the choice, I want to finish the orc tribe pic first, and then we can see what to do with the other one (how to change it to suit another description perhaps).
The frog is wicked! Good stuff. If you permit me, Quellion, to make 2 suggestions: the background suggests a dense jungle, with light sipping through the vegetation, so I'd go for less pronounced/harsh shadows, for the light would be scattered a lot more then a direct beam. Or maybe go for a spotlight effect, keeping the shadow cast by the guy as is, but make the light shining on him much brighter. Second thing - minor detail - are the ropes of the sling - the are perfectly stretched, wich is a bit unnatural, suggesting he's swinging them at an incredibly high speed - slight curvature in the ropes would be my suggestion. And they do seem a bit long, considering the space around him, I think they balls would collide with the tree. I'm curious how this pic will develop itself, good dynamic pose!
