I love the perspective, what with those two hulking in front and another posed tall and menacing behind them. Gorgeous shading.

Thanks a bunch! I think the mohawks give them a nice touch of extra brutishness.

Excellent work so far - the composition is good and the shading looks great.
It seems slightly more realistic than your usual style in both shading and proportion.

Thanks a bunch!
I've been doing a lot of studies on light and shadow, and I think it shows in this piece.

Ogres for the win!
Also available for demolitions, BBQ's, and cave openings....

Looking good! I like how the ogres in the foreground are dimly lit and the focus is on the central figure The off-set angle also makes the pose seem even more dramatic!

Thank you!
It's going to be a challenge to get the values accurate in watercolour.

Wow. The perspective and volume in this picture is amazing. You can really feel the depth of it.
While this is not quite how I picture ogres, you should go with your own idea.
Perhaps the one in the background lacks the personality of the ones in the foreground; it feels as if he doesn't quite focus that stare on anything.
Other than that... you have gained a level, young man. I could see it in your last picture too, but now you've proven that it wasn't just a limit break but a whole new standard.

Looks great!
From the perspective of a swords & sorcery fan, I will say that you should play with some techniques to make them look more physically diverse from one another without destroying their physical identity as a race.

This is freaking grand dude!
Nice rendering, it really looks good. Everything is very volumetric, you can really see the bulging muscles on the one in the back.
Rock on as usual

Hmm...I like it but I think fangs are not good in ogres... I think they will look a lot better with broken / separated teeth ^_^
