A lil bit of work in progress for my bestie, Raf, and his upcoming pc who cosplays as an elf merchant.
orcs & humans? same hat
y'know i think, when it comes to classic western fantasy species, humans would be closest to orcs.
the most integration, the most shared history living in cooperation/proximity, on the same page, all that jazz.
'but alyson, why? why orcs?' because, imaginary question-asker i made up because i don't actually expect anyone else to be interested in this stuff but me, orcs and humans are the same: we survive. we're stubborn fucks who are very good a making the best out of bad situations.
literally, human beings as a species work on the root of adaptability. we're all over the world because we're good at change, and the constant drive to keep improving things for ourselves. we're hard coded to be social: help each other weather the storm, using the group as a way of improving anything an individual would lack. we're hardy fuckers with histories upon histories of constantly pushing the envelope, surviving all sorts of nonsense and trying to be better for it.
hey, what are orcs known for in fantasy stories? being hardy stubborn fucks who refuse to give up? being able to live in places other species have deemed inhospitable due to sheer 'no fuck u' attitudes? remember all those sci fi posts on this website that talks about how humans, in an intergalactic multi-alien-species setting would probably be seen as the 'orcs' of the setting? Yeah that's because we're the sammmmmmme.
anyways, human-orc solidarity in fantasy stories, please. lemme have it.

Fun fact: she cannot curse anyone and what she’s wearing is just fantasy costume XD

I don’t know where my fancy colored pencils went so I had to do this with a regular 10 set we had lying around, which was kind of annoying to say the least >:/
