Krov'dan

Our dashing neighborhood Orc Bard 🖤

Krov'dan

Krov'dan is slightly more musically inclined than the average orc - leading him down the odd path of the Bard! He had a sturdy wooden Ukulele embezzled with blunt beastial horns (Because many a times.. As he gets flustered in battle and can't remember or think of witty rhymes and spell songs in the heat of the moment.. And resorts to the tried and true method of using the weapon as a club) wack wack wack*

Some fun random facts about this Orc:

- He comes from a line of Beast Masters and had trained to ride an array of Beasts. But is scared of all of them. "I prefer walking"

- Krov'dan will tell you that the harrowing gash across his face and chest was the result of an epic battle between him and a drake (or a Wyvern. It varies depending on who he's talking to), but in actuality he can't hold his liquor and fell flat on his face that one time at a local bar.

- For his size and stature, Krov'dan is a surprisingly fast and agile runner. He prides himself in what he calls 'strategic retreats' (to his credit, he runs circles and waits for opportune times to ambush unsuspecting enemies in pursuit. But does not fair so well as a Frontline attacker)

- Krov'dan, knows only the most basic of spells / enchantments. (almost akin to birthday party tricks) but is more perceptive than the average orc. During his travels he sometimes finds or trades for crystals with magic properties. Though not fully able to comprehend what their uses may be, they do seem to aid him when he utilizes them as ukulele picks.

WIP Krov'dan the Bard

my lil' bard orc 💕

Krov'dan was meant to be a supporting character and comic relief character (but I'm quickly growing to like drawing him and flushing out his character!)

Krov (called Krost by EmberFang) is a charismatic, easily frightend, clumsy (and some would describe with affection.. lazy) blood-brother to Obrin EmberFang. He ascribes to the notion "work smarter, not harder". Has sorta peon-like qualities from WoW. (despite not being very bright himself.. He does have bright moments! ❤️)

ORCs go BRRRRRR

Super excited for Orc-tober!!

It has inspired practice sketches for Obrin - which in turn.. Gave rise to Krov'dan (EmberFang calls him Krost.)

I really wanted them to have a kinship of some sort, but couldn't quiet explain away the differences in colors (without them being from totally different clans)

So.. In the spirit of (heavily borrowing from the concept of..) Shadow of War, they are blood-brothers 💘

Obrin EmberFang is higher ranking and has earned the title EmberFang, Krov'dan has no distinguishing title as of yet.

My bois

There have been reports of a drake sighting towards the north west forest, close to the Orc encampment.

EmberFang, ever known for his brave heart, volunteers himself and his blood brother to investigate.
