KeenLace 2002 - Orc


Orcish Beefcake

Another submission to KeenLace 2002, this piece came out of the event's organizer pleading for continuing submissions. I'm still not sure whether my intent was to make him happy to receive more images, or to make him regret having sent out the call. Either way, you get a half-naked orc. It's like your lucky day, only you have to deal with a half-naked orc!

As you can see, I have no name for this orc. He is, after all, simply a collection of generic stats and damage ratings. Well, in reality his entire existence simplifies down to a hastily scratched column of numbers indicating his current hit points. Columns of numbers can't pull of this look, though.

Edited: August 13, 2002 - Ooops. Why didn't anyone tell me my Orcish Beefcake was being horribly, horribly disfigured horizontally? That was painful. In truly imaginative ways.
