I gave my creativity a cesarean section to deliver this piece! The hardest part was actually getting it to a level where I am somewhat satisfied with the result. I will still probably make sporadic adjustments to it. I tried to depict a scene involving female orcs, however, I wanted to do so without making them green or ugly. I kept a small palette (not completely optimized), and drew it from scratch. Layers, filters, indexing, and scanning were not used.

@Gabriel101@ (Level 1 Thug) at 12/29/2010 8:30:18 PM

very good ......................

KrypToniTe (Level 5 Soldier) at 12/4/2010 11:43:28 AM

A beauty, that as- I mean landscape. Reminds me from Overlord.

Groogokk (Level 5 Lieutenant) at 11/19/2010 5:11:00 AM

Yeah, I like the preview character, too. The head dangling from from the spear is probably that of one of the kobold's relatives or aquaintances.

KiTheif (Level 1 Rookie) at 11/12/2010 12:42:21 AM

Aww I noticed that the little guy was killed and felt bad, great emotion on the icon xD

Siscoman (Level 1 Gangster) at 11/11/2010 4:18:37 PM

Aside from the ears I'm not really reading orc here. I love the little kobold terrified by the severed head though.

carrion (Level 5 Killer Klown) at 9/13/2010 3:37:11 AM

trees, leaves, clouds and rocs simply rocs!

mashimi (Level 1 Rookie) at 9/1/2010 2:44:48 PM

The 'lil ork told me to click it :( now its medievil butt :( 5*

Jaker Pot (Level 2 Hired Gun) at 8/3/2010 3:43:24 PM

RPG ass epicness. Sooo awesome.

The trees are raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad

avo (Level 7 Mass Murderer) at 7/12/2010 11:15:01 PM

Interesting, i have never seen female orcs before :)

slabnsla (Level 5 Sniper) at 2/19/2010 10:28:49 PM

i liked the little orc that is scared

fuzzly98 (Level 2 Quiet One) at 2/5/2010 12:44:18 PM

nice one

Rain Maker (Level 1 Rookie) at 1/23/2010 3:44:50 PM

wow, the clouds and mountains in the backround...really nice

daniel64 (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 12/25/2009 10:28:21 PM

You should have directed LOTR

Zweckform (Level 3 Corporate Drone) at 11/29/2009 11:35:33 PM

Great piece, but i miss the orcish feeling about the females. So the only critic is that the story is lost in the picture imho.

bacara (Level 1 Seaman) at 8/3/2009 1:36:11 PM

Ive never seen sexy orcs before Bravo

jamesmorrow07 (Level 1 Jukyu) at 8/1/2009 7:48:35 PM

DAAYUMMN! Those ladies don't fuk around.

Kudohazama (Level 5 Rokkyu) at 7/19/2009 10:07:39 AM

Those clouds are awsome!

Lahra (Level 1 Rookie) at 5/22/2009 11:32:09 AM

I really like it :=)

Scribblette (Level 1 Intern) at 4/17/2009 6:49:43 PM

I think so. Thanks. I've been stumbling my way through foliage over on the pixelation forums and think maybe one of the problems was I didn't take the branches small enough to follow through with leaves... maybe. Just need to practice a lot more :)

big brother (Level 11 Admiral) at 4/17/2009 10:27:00 AM

Hmmm well it's been three years since I did this. I'm pretty sure I drew the leaves in "branches", areas of similar color, then broke it into the individual leaves from there. Does that help?

Scribblette (Level 1 Intern) at 4/17/2009 10:21:27 AM

Oh, wow. I missed this one when I went hunting for trees to examine. The whole thing is incredible, but I'm especially curious about how the leaves were done - specifically, what methods there be to save time, or whether you painted each leaf individually instead. Looking forward to dissecting it and hopefully learning something in the process.

bricl (Level 1 Depressed) at 3/14/2009 9:23:33 PM

haha great concept, love the assess :O....

j.negrón (Level 1 Thug) at 2/20/2009 1:50:08 AM

DAMN!

Wade (Level 1 Rookie) at 1/26/2009 4:54:24 PM

The landscape is nicely done, but the anatomy of the women is quite odd and awkwardly twisted.

Schtauffen (Level 1 Thug) at 1/14/2009 7:24:45 PM

I fully agree with withalligators...
African American Woman == Orcs?

I cannot stop from laughing after reading his post.

But very nice picture nonetheless :)

Bustos (Level 1 Rookie) at 1/3/2009 11:59:30 PM

Nice I like the clouds the little orc the leaves the butts the little mushrooms the cool symbol on the back of one of them Pretty much everything :)

Sig~ (Level 6 Hitman) at 9/13/2008 11:42:27 AM

Perfect... add to favorites

withalligators (Level 4 Deputy) at 8/7/2008 8:50:34 PM

this is very well done and interestingly anachronistic. Whom are the orcs? The little guy in the woods or the gals? If its the ladies then, I have to say, as much as i don't want to play the race card its interesting that you didn't want to do real orcs so instead you drew some black ladies. Which is creatively cool but politically questionable. note that I'm not judging just curious.

cantdoright (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 7/29/2008 9:04:48 PM

Cower beneth there Big Buns of steel! For they have slautered countless Twinkies.

Cactus_Hat (Level 1 Thug) at 7/23/2008 5:14:22 PM

CookiemagiK (Level 1 Rookie) at 7/16/2008 3:59:25 PM

Such awesome shading :O
I'm so jealous of you skills :<

Pixel_Devil (Level 2 Quiet One) at 6/28/2008 9:18:08 AM

Very nice :)

Chaos Design (Level 3 Stalker) at 6/15/2008 7:33:08 AM

Wow im speechless.

Packrat (Level 7 General Manager) at 6/13/2008 12:01:35 AM

I love this. Everything seems so well planned and made! It makes me crazy to see something this good.

Sprites Toolbox (Level 1 Rookie) at 6/6/2008 1:40:39 PM

Its fantastic!
Though i should say that they look more like elves than orcs. Because one thing is having not ugly orcs but having cute orcs is totally opposite!
Great job!

japez (Level 1 Depressed) at 5/13/2008 12:18:38 AM

Love it. I like how you didn't make it the typical orc.

Acherhar (Level 5 Assistant Manager) at 4/2/2008 10:46:38 AM

That sky and foliage did it for me. It looks like I could jump right in! Quite possibly my most favorite piece ever.

rajkosk8 (Level 5 Detective) at 11/15/2007 4:57:52 PM

wow! Magnificent its a true masterpiece! 5/5 +fav

Equilibrix (Level 5 Captain) at 11/14/2007 8:25:43 AM

Wow, this is just great! I've never seen anything like this before! Awesome!

Tirza (Level 1 Gangster) at 11/11/2007 4:45:11 AM

Holy jesus, only a true top-artist could've made this.

YungYankee (Level 1 Gangster) at 11/10/2007 7:53:54 PM

Nice booties. lol

. Very good work.

theguy (Level 6 Hitman) at 11/10/2007 12:37:29 PM

I like big butts and I can not lie
you other brothers can't deny
that when a girl walks in with an itty-bitty waist
and a round thing in your face
you get sprung.

but seriously though this is awesome

dakael (Level 5 Killer Klown) at 9/27/2007 2:17:36 AM

marvelous! very plastic and palette is very nice too... thumbs up!

Varock Shade (Level 7 Underboss) at 9/8/2007 11:09:43 AM

well... the part of not making the orcs ugly and green... you did well, although id say they look more like black women guarding the area around a village or something...

colours are awesome, idea is cool and yes, i just have to say it, you didn't make the "orcs" ugly, you made them beautiful (an orcs dream maybe)?

Fuzzyleaves (Level 5 Detective) at 8/24/2007 10:29:22 PM

Agreed, rockybolan, yeah! Nice pixel. Btw what is that little red creaturein the small pixel?

Drako (Level 5 Soldier) at 7/24/2007 3:47:00 AM

This pixel is very nice.

the_power_of_rage (Level 1 Rookie) at 7/19/2007 10:59:29 PM

dameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee babay got back lol no what iam saying cuz.

Zero Power (Level 3 Corporate Drone) at 7/7/2007 9:21:58 AM

A non-green orc wouldn't that be just like human or an elf if they have pointy ears? Anyway godlike.

Presley (Level 1 Seaman) at 6/20/2007 1:30:30 AM

Just wow. Best pixelart I've ever seen. The colour use is especially superb.

BadMrBox (Level 2 Quiet One) at 5/13/2007 2:51:14 PM

Nice. So much detail in the piece. The ladies doesn't look like orc's at all but very good.

gambit1234 (Level 1 Jukyu) at 4/11/2007 1:02:54 AM

nice asses lol

rockybolan (Level 1 Thug) at 4/7/2007 7:22:45 PM

Agreed, grim666, their butts are divine.

I love this piece.

I like big butts and I can not lie awsome 4/5

slayer (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/21/2007 11:40:39 AM

Awsome

iLKke (Level 8 Guerrilla) at 2/21/2007 8:01:11 AM

Great work on the nature, especiallt the leaves in the back. Only thing i dont like is the decapitated head, it looks too clean cut. The shrooms make up for it! ;D

cerealkiller54 (Level 6 Made) at 2/19/2007 5:19:49 PM

Orcs? They look like beefy ladies...

Boder (Level 2 Corporal) at 2/15/2007 7:40:29 PM

You know it's good when those supreme bootays aren't the best part!

khorin (Level 1 Private) at 1/28/2007 8:39:43 AM

I must say that this piece has a wonderful composition.

hay lin 9100 (Level 1 Rookie) at 1/16/2007 9:33:01 PM

Sgrum (Level 5 Captain) at 8/11/2006 1:06:52 PM

Pretty art. The orc woman are too sexy to be orcs ;) I´d paint more muscular shoulders´n´torsos( they´ve strong legs, why don´t strong bodies... to beating his males)

kankki (Level 2 Corporal) at 8/10/2006 1:49:59 AM

I'm.. stunning!
