The next in my "How to Be Orc" series.

Kissing is a little challenging when your boyfriend is nearly three feet taller than you. This seemed the best solution. I wanted to draw a picture of the two of them actually kissing, but I haven't figured out how to illustrate that with the tusks just yet. If anyone has any references, or suggestions on how to do that, please let me know.
Since this story has a lot of body positivity themes I thought I'd call attention to Vargan's appearance. He's definitely very ripped in the chest, shoulders and arms, but he doesn't have rock hard abs and a six pack. Actually I try to draw him with a noticeable amount of "fluff" around the mid-section. Demonstrating that guys don't have to have a "perfect" body to be attractive either. I see a lot of other artists depict orcs with bodies like PlayGirl models, no complaints here of course, but I have a different vision for my orcs. Realistically speaking (or as realistic as you can be while discussing mythical races) these are creatures more concerned with physical strength and "ableness" than aesthetics. They are also creatures who drink a lot, and eat a lot, with little regards to the concept of "healthy eating." They'd probably think that dieting is barbaric. I mean, I can't exactly see an orc doing extra leg lifts to build his core muscles, or substituting the fries in his combo meal for a side salad. I imagine orcs doing years of physical training, but they train to be warriors not body builders. When they aren't fighting they are tending to their homes, livestock and farms -all laborious tasks. I think their bodies would reflect this: hearty, strong, healthy
people, who eat and drink as heavily as they work.

I really love this project, but it's tough to dedicate time to it rather than paid projects. Anything you can pledge helps me make my dream for this story come true!

Vargan and Ghorza are my OCs.
