Description Recently I've gotten into the whole dwarf "love" thing because of Mongo's,[link] , craze for them. >_< OR rather, seeing all those dwarves he had, made me want to doodle some dwarves to honor his love for the short pocket Hercules that they are.

These sketches are from my sketchbook and are just some preliminary roughs to give myself an idea of how I actually want my dwarf to look like. Why? Because I'm doing a dwarf piece as a nod to Mongo [link]

I work from my head, so no reference shots or what not for anything I do. Unless its absolutely needed, which is like 5% of the time, especially for technical stuff like cars, jets and what not...I mean...I'm not big on cars..so I've not a clue about those things.

Thanks man, I'm tackling a few private commissions at the moment...and its slowing me down. Haven't been able to touch my coloring needs on the dwarf ever since I inked him down and scanned him in.

Well, I'll hopefully get to start and finish it up soon enough.

Yargh! Thanks, but I'm gonna be moving on to the digital colors for the other dwarf I have in hiding. I'll get on the digital painting again to freshen up my wrists on PS. Hopefully you'll like that one more than my sketches, but we'll find out.

Rofl, I had a choice of a Futurama me, a cleric, and this orc. I figured..why not the orc. I love orcs, you love dwarves, and orcs need love too!

Yes they do. They seem to have quite a few supporters out there already. Check *chief-orc , *Enydimon and *MatthewSmith when you have the chance.

*chief-orc is always rooting for the orcs in my pics.

Yep, plenty of orcish goodness to keep you appeased

Lol, *rawgh* Well I root for the underdogs a lot and orcs are usually the chopping feed in must illustrations sadly . I'm on a mission to change the idea of orcs!

Well, I'm a fan of everything fantasy really, so I root for all things fantasy.

Orcs are just naturally intimidating, so they make for good villains. At least that's the way I see it. I'm sure there is a way to put a spin on it so that the orcs end up as the protagonists.

Hear hear.

I do agree with your comment. Well I think Tolkien had a big, if not primary role in the way orcs have been "created" and labeled over the decades.

Like you said though, orcs are just too intimidating and "savage" looking, to not not be good villians. If that makes logical sense? OF COURSE IT DOES! But I'd be orc racist if I thought that all the time.
