LotR Orc: Uruk-hai

Inktober 2024 Day 16: Grungy, Follow my process on Instagram!

From the depths of Mordor, a face only a Dark Lord could love. This grungy orc embodies the raw, untamed ferocity of Sauron's army. The chaos in the lines mirrors the tumultuous nature of these creatures, bred for war and destruction.

"We are the fighting Uruk-hai! We slew the great warrior!" - but hopefully not today.

Colorful blue and orange e-ink illustration of a menacing orc for Inktober. The creature's face is heavily detailed with a snarling expression, sharp teeth, and piercing eyes. Chaotic, grungy lines surround the orc, creating a sense of darkness and aggression. The sketch style emphasizes the raw, untamed nature of the character, capturing the essence of Tolkien's fearsome creatures.
