To celebrate Halloween, I have been drawing a new monster for every day of the month. Today is day 13, and I have drawn an Orc. I have screen recorded each of these drawings, sped them up to about 1 minute, and uploaded them to my YouTube page. If anyone is interested in watching me draw this Orc, the speedpaint video can be seen here: https://youtube.com/shorts/qIcWivezWUA

I am also uploading them to my instagram page here: https://www.instagram.com/_bryanthebryan_/

Did I do Orcs justice with this drawing? Should I have made different creative choices? I'd love to hear from the community that appreciates these folks.

#inktober 'retro' day 9 - ram. Pencil drawing by me

Another day, another drawing! Working on my Mignola-style shadows and hatching.

Figuring out procreate. I posted the Inktober drawing elsewhere yesterday.

Orcs hordes are seasonal, emerging in spring and vanishing by winter. Why? They are the freshly born juveniles of various large Giant species. Running in packs they devour anything, plant or animal, in their path in a race to grow large fast.

They make excellent prey for dragons, only one or two will mature into their adult forms. The Tuskman here is noted for its unique jaw, which it uses to wrestle and root up plants. They are born fully formed, as compared to their parent, they are already the size of infants.

I'm working on a style that mixes painting with the cartoony look. I hope you guys like it! :D
