Orc sketches

 This month of November 2016. I plan to do lots of sketches in my notepad and paintings of Orcs. I know its not November yet. I'm just getting a little head start I suppose! 

 This one I had a bit more time to put into it. I wanted this one to have a very nice cool pallet. I wanted the orc to feel like he was from a colder region. Some process below for this guy!

 This guy was rather quick study.

 Quick Values before color

 Initial sketch

The boy and his dog.

The boy never imagined he would be facing such a gigantic titan. A forest giant that has plagued these woods for years. Not many were left brave enough to enter the forest. Yet here he stood with his most trusted companion. His dog. Ready to free these lands. For when destiny is thrust upon you. You cant turn your back.

 Some rough painting and an older painting to quickly bring in some color and tone.

The initial sketch before the rendering.

The Widow

Something inspired by recent posts of Anthony Jones.
