Emo Orc

(Copied from my DA description because I'm a lazy ass, and my re-typed sheezy descriptions always suck)

A small gift for Magnus

As I said in the description of the sketch, I originally drew this concept quite awhile ago after reading a journal entry of Magnus's on sheezyart about how she liked both orcs and pink-eyeliner wearing emo boys. So naturally, I decided to combine the two. But the first sketch sucked somethin' FIERCE, so it got lost or thrown away or something and I just kinda forgot about it. But I remembered about it the other day and immediatley wanted to redraw it. So...I redrew it. Voila.

The anatomy is definately not the greatest. I don't draw males too often, and I have issues with muscles usually. Proportions are icky, too. The orc's hands are massive (you know what that means! +wink wink nudge nudge+) as are his thighs. I don't really have a good idea of what orcs should look like, so I just made it up as I went. And ohmygawd, I want to shoot myself for that background (or lack of one) But I couldn't come up with a good setting so I was a cheap bastard and tossed a gradient in there. And then the axe looks like its made of cardboard. And so on and so forth. I think I could critique the hell out of myself all day.

But I'm getting the hang of my new shading style, happy about that. And I've finally found a brush size that I like for my linearts (4)

My descriptions are too damn long. I think I spend more time explaining the picture than actually drawing it. Argh. I end it now. No, wait....NOW!

Magnus belongs to Magnus
arts are mine, as always

EDIT: Wow, talk about lucky. Yesterday was her birthday, I only just realized that a minute ago. Hah.
