Description I had a lot of fun doing this, being the huge LOTR geek that I am! So I wanted to do my own species of Orc, a more sophisticated one if you will, but still a wicked bastard!

Amazing work. I like the darkness to it, and that you did something other than the typical Orc imagery I'm used to. You've got an awesome gallery! Good luck to you

The idea is great but the man on the drawing is not 'orcish' enough I get the impression that instead of 'Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!' he'd say something like 'Would like a cup of tea before I disembowel you, please?' Anyway - great artwork. KUTGW

thanks mate...well I figure, LOTR orcs are English-ish, so why not a cup of tea before death!

there's great mood in this pic... i love it... colour choises are again a top notch... you seem to like a lot blue orange combination ^^ which is a good thing in my mind...

saw your work earlier on CGS and was amazed ...now i found you in here too... and one thing i wanna know... dont tell me that you DONT do this for living... and coz you cant say no to that... the question is where are you working and what is your job exactly...

AlexRuizArt In reply to Deftonys-muse [2007-05-25 03:32:14 +0000 UTC]

hey mate, thanks for the comment..yeah, definitely dig the blue and orange thing... as far as what I do now, the Simpsons pay the main bills, but on the side I work as a freelance concept artist for independent films and various toy companies. But ultimately, it's games I'm really pursuing! thanks for asking, take care...

the thing why for i asked was that... i need to find a way to get a job relating to "art"/pictures... and i really dont know where i should try to give my skils... and are my skills enough yet... could you say a honest tought on that matter... do i have skills for that yet...

AlexRuizArt In reply to Deftonys-muse [2007-05-25 22:35:35 +0000 UTC]

well, looking at your stuff, it's pretty good. But you need to post more of it, and add more light to some of them, as cool as darker things are..... As far as getting work, I'd say it's 50% talent, 50% connections....which explains why there's so much crap art in high places out there! But your young man, so don't worry about it....just paint and draw everyday, and I promise, you'll get plenty of work in time!

Ah yes, much more sophisticated - a smart looking ork indeed. Well done, the contrast of its figure against the light gives it an ominous quality.

Mind you I don't believe in a superior form of an orc, unless it's really a half-orc, half-human. Plus it carrying a different type of weaponry in each hand and quite ready to slaughter any incoming lifeform, I would have to say that this orc most likely lacks finesse and isn't in all probability very sophisticated.

Looks good though.

thapnoy In reply to Rahll [2007-09-02 22:30:08 +0000 UTC]

agreed! but this seems more like a nazgul, but then i guess since you can see its body and the swords are way cooler you could say its a urukhai/nazgul hybrid? XD how that would work i have no idea

banana-muffin In reply to thapnoy [2009-03-07 01:39:37 +0000 UTC]

I have a question...
what are urukhai and nazgul
i have not read the trilogy yet
i fully intend to but my current to read list is a good 15 books long for this year

if you could explain urukhai and nazgul, i would be very appreciative
