Description
This was a commission done for emperoraku here on deviantart! It was thanks to him that I got the opportunity to draw this Orc!

This was a fun piece to do, certainly well outside my own comfort zone of science fiction and Warhammer 40k.

One particularly challenging part of the image was how to pull off the reflections in the knight's armour without making it too attention grabbing. The solution light the image so that only the upper torso of the Orc lady and the tip of the helmet were actually in the light. This means that whatever else was being reflected in the armour had to be of the dim surroundings. This served as a decent enough reason to keep the reflections dark, keeping the focus of the image on the face of the Orc.
