This Orc illustration was inspired by an older character design for an animation assignment. In this version I wanted to try to make the character feel more semi-realistic. Through the process, however, I ended up changing a few details such as the hair, though I still feel the drawing is recognizable as the same character. I also found it challenging to translate more cartoon-style proportions into a semi-realistic style, but I feel I was able to find a middle ground where it became less cartoony while still having the original feel of the first design.
