Description
Bit of an oldie, this pic, but I remain jolly fond of it, so here it is.As you'll probably have gathered, Grall is an orc - he was created by a splendid friend of mine to act as both an on-line avatar and a character in a series of short stories that I started writing several years ago (and which I still have every intention of finishing if I can ever find the time - I was originally supposed to be sharing the scribey duties with someone else, but they suddenly decided that they couldn't be bothered and buggered off, which put the mockers on things rather. Hey ho), and he was an absolute pleasure to draw. Despite appearances, he's a thoroughly personable sort of chap - he enjoys drinking, shouting and brawling as much as the next orc, but he has a naturally cheery and helpful disposition and he never hits anybody unless they're really asking for it. The goblin skull on a thong worries some people, especially goblins, but it's not actually real - he bought it from a novelty shop on a trip to the seaside because he thought it looked cool. He's also rather shorter than most orcs, although bullying types would be well advised not to interpret this as an invitation to start pushing him around, lest they should find a certain part of their anatomy being forcefully introduced to those spikes on his boot.
Grall is the copyright of his creator (who also goes by the name of Grall when on-line) and nobody else at all. Heed these words, thiefy blokes, or you too shall receive a spiky kick in the unpleasantness.

Yeah, he's a resilient little bugger. You never know, he may even get a rematch some day...

Thanks! And yes, he's a very cheerful and friendly kind of orc - just don't let him hug you if you enjoy breathing.

Does Grall (or his owner) have a website of his own? Just wondering if he has any of his own art, or if there's a way to find more about him.

MatthewSmith In reply to Big-Foot [2007-07-02 14:56:25 +0000 UTC]
He used to run a sports-related website, but it's no longer being updated, and as far as I'm aware he doesn't draw at all. However, doing a google search for Grall will probably turn something up (possibly including a couple of other drawings of the character on the Crazy Lizard website).

Is that the orc wrestling site?
I was wondering why there was a lack of activity on there! lol
Ahh ok, thanks for your help, man ^^

Actually, I was referring to a different website that he used to run on his own. You're quite right though, he maintains the OWCH site as well - I do the writing and drawings, and he very kindly plonks it on the net and makes it all look lovely. If I can manage to get round to it, I still want to continue the OWCH project at some stage...but just at the moment, time is not my friend.

Ahh, cool! I would love to see the site make a comeback!
Very understandable, my own schedule always seems to lack in time for art, as well!

MatthewSmith In reply to buffalobobby [2007-07-02 14:53:56 +0000 UTC]
Nope - I'd imagine it was the chap for whom I drew the character. He always calls himself Grall on the interweb, and he often uses the face from the above drawing as his avatar.
