The Horde wants you, indeed.

An old sketch I made, I decided to go a little further with the coloring.

Sketch :


Flats :


New Shading. New colors :


Added ambient light. Woot burning building? :

For the Horde!

Nice job.

I'm going to rework that skin. On my CTR screen at work it looked really nice but on my sharper LCD screen at home it looks too grainy.

I think my only problem with it is that his right hand with his finger pointing toward us is really lost among the rest of his body. At first glance you don't even notice it, you have to really look at the picture to be able to make it out. Maybe you should lighten it some to have it pop out more?

Other than that, it's seriously awesome. You should submit it to Blizzard.com, they show a lot of fan art on their main page a lot, and yours already looks worlds better than most of it.

Niiiiiiiice. Seriously add the "The Horde wants you!" to it and spiff it up.

Updated with new skin and (better?) lighting on the hands.

A little background fun, additional ambient lighting :

Jep, what version of Photoshop are you using?

CS3

(On the orc layer) Go to image adjustments, photo filter and change the color to red and you can play with how red the orc is.

Thing is, I want him to stand out, not meld into the background.

Better?

That is ****ing awesome.

Not sure I like this. Suggestions? Opinions?

Maybe the red text and the gray should be flipped... YOU would look better if it stood out in red more.

But the gray might not look that good. Maybe pick a color close to the orc's skin tone?

To be honest, I think turning it into something kind of satirical isn't right for this type of picture. I mean, I guess you can do whatever you want with it, but I think the picture is too bad *** to be anything less than that. I really vote for no text at all, because personally I feel like that finger is pointing at me, kind of being like:

"You're next."

[Edit] On second thought, if you really wanted to keep the text, maybe just take out the "WANTS YOU" part, and just leave it as THE HORDE. Let people draw their own conclusions as to rather they think it should be satirical or just seriously awesome.

Go spread your filth elsewhere, Jep.

(omg, amazing)

I think I'm with you on this. Ever since I added the text its not been feeling right. I'm just going to submit the textless version and let people come up with which ever little "quote" comes up.

Could be "You need more cowbells" for all I care. >:D

If you keep the text, get rid of the outline on it. That just looks weird.

god that almost makes me want to reroll horde

ok screw it i am

Never noticed it till MB brought it up, and now I can't help but see it. (aka I agree with MB)

This could just be my odd way of viewing pictures, but he seemed angry/evil in the sketch but kinda, sad-ish in the colored version.
Then again, depending on where I look, I can see the sketch looking happy too... so this "criticizm" should be taken lightly.

Awesome...I just think the lighting's a bit skewed. Little late for this but it looks weird (bottom of the righthanded bracer/gauntlet/whatever, top of the left one, towards the front of the left shoulder protector). Just weird.

Other than that I like.

I personally like the red outline. Just my opinion.

Against the "dirty" red of the text, a pristine red outline just seems out of place to me.

I didn't even notice the red outline until people pointed it out, now I don't like it either

Make it darker, and/or 50% transparent so the "dirtyish" of the inside letters shows through.
