I gave my creativity a cesarean section to deliver this piece! The hardest part was actually getting it to a level where I am somewhat satisfied with the result. I will still probably make sporadic adjustments to it.

I tried to depict a scene involving female orcs, however, I wanted to do so without making them green or ugly.

I kept a small palette (not completely optimized), and drew it from scratch. Layers, filters, indexing, and scanning were not used.

Ive never seen sexy orcs before Bravo


jamesmorrow07 (Level 2 Kukyu) at 8/1/2009 7:48:35 PM

DAAYUMMN! Those ladies don't fuk around.


Kudohazama (Level 1 Jukyu) at 7/19/2009 10:07:39 AM

Those clouds are awsome!


Lahra (Level 1 Rookie) at 5/22/2009 11:32:09 AM

 I really like it :=)


Scribblette (Level 1 Intern) at 4/17/2009 6:49:43 PM

I think so. Thanks. I've been stumbling my way through foliage over on the pixelation forums and think maybe one of the problems was I didn't take the branches small enough to follow through with leaves... maybe. Just need to practice a lot more :)


big brother (Level 9 Rear Admiral) at 4/17/2009 10:27:00 AM

Hmmm well it's been three years since I did this. I'm pretty sure I drew the leaves in "branches", areas of similar color, then broke it into the individual leaves from there. Does that help?


Scribblette (Level 1 Intern) at 4/17/2009 10:21:27 AM

Oh, wow. I missed this one when I went hunting for trees to examine. The whole thing is incredible, but I'm especially curious about how the leaves were done - specifically, what methods there be to save time, or whether you painted each leaf individually instead. Looking forward to dissecting it and hopefully learning something in the process.


bricl (Level 1 Depressed) at 3/14/2009 9:23:33 PM

haha great concept, love the assess :O....


j.negrón (Level 1 Thug) at 2/20/2009 1:50:08 AM
DAMN!

Wade (Level 1 Rookie) at 1/26/2009 4:54:24 PM
The landscape is nicely done, but the anatomy of the women is quite odd and awkwardly twisted.

Schtauffen (Level 1 Thug) at 1/14/2009 7:24:45 PM
I fully agree with withalligators...
African American Woman == Orcs?

I cannot stop from laughing after reading his post.

But very nice picture nonetheless :)

Bustos (Level 1 Rookie) at 1/3/2009 11:59:30 PM
Nice I like the clouds the little orc the leaves the butts the little mushrooms the cool symbol on the back of one of them Pretty much everything :)

Sig~ (Level 6 SWAT) at 9/13/2008 11:42:27 AM
Perfect... add to favorites

withalligators (Level 4 Deputy) at 8/7/2008 8:50:34 PM

this is very well done and interestingly anachronistic.  Whom are the orcs?  The little guy in the woods or the gals?  If its the ladies then, I have to say, as much as i don't want to play the race card its interesting that you didn't want to do real orcs so instead you drew some black ladies.  Which is creatively cool but politically questionable.  note that I'm not judging just curious.


cantdoright (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 7/29/2008 9:04:48 PM
Cower beneth there Big Buns of steel! For they have slautered countless Twinkies.

Cactus_Hat (Level 1 Thug) at 7/23/2008 5:14:22 PM

CookiemagiK (Level 1 Rookie) at 7/16/2008 3:59:25 PM
Such awesome shading :O
I'm so jealous of you skills :<

Pixel_Devil (Level 2 Quiet One) at 6/28/2008 9:18:08 AM
Very nice :)

Chaos Design (Level 3 Stalker) at 6/15/2008 7:33:08 AM
Wow im speechless.

Packrat (Level 7 General Manager) at 6/13/2008 12:01:35 AM
I love this. Everything seems so well planned and made! It makes me crazy to see something this good.

Sprites Toolbox (Level 1 Rookie) at 6/6/2008 1:40:39 PM
Its fantastic!
Though i should say that they look more like elves than orcs. Because one thing is having not ugly orcs but having cute orcs is totally opposite!
Great job!

japez (Level 1 Depressed) at 5/13/2008 12:18:38 AM
Love it. I like how you didn't make it the typical orc.

Acherhar (Level 5 Assistant Manager) at 4/2/2008 10:46:38 AM
That sky and foliage did it for me. It looks like I could jump right in! Quite possibly my most favorite piece ever.

rajkosk8 (Level 4 Deputy) at 11/15/2007 4:57:52 PM
wow! Magnificent its a true masterpiece! 5/5 +fav

Equilibrix (Level 5 Captain) at 11/14/2007 8:25:43 AM
Wow, this is just great! I've never seen anything like this before! Awesome!

Tirza (Level 1 Depressed) at 11/11/2007 4:45:11 AM
Holy jesus, only a true top-artist could've made this.

YungYankee (Level 1 Gangster) at 11/10/2007 7:53:54 PM
Nice booties. lol . Very good work.

theguy (Level 5 Rokkyu) at 11/10/2007 12:37:29 PM
I like big butts and I can not lie
you other brothers can't deny
that when a girl walks in with an itty-bitty waist
and a round thing in your face
you get sprung.

but seriously though this is awesome

dakael (Level 5 Killer Klown) at 9/27/2007 2:17:36 AM
marvelous! very plastic and palette is very nice too... thumbs up!

Varock Shade (Level 7 Underboss) at 9/8/2007 11:09:43 AM
well... the part of not making the orcs ugly and green... you did well, although id say they look more like black women guarding the area around a village or something... colours are awesome, idea is cool and yes, i just have to say it, you didn't make the "orcs" ugly, you made them beautiful (an orcs dream maybe)?

Fuzzyleaves (Level 5 Detective) at 8/24/2007 10:29:22 PM
Agreed, rockybolan, yeah! Nice pixel. Btw what is that little red creaturein the small pixel?

Drako (Level 3 Sergeant) at 7/24/2007 3:47:00 AM
This pixel is very nice.

the_power_of_rage (Level 1 Rookie) at 7/19/2007 10:59:29 PM
dameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee babay got back lol no what iam saying cuz.

Zero Power (Level 3 Corporate Drone) at 7/7/2007 9:21:58 AM
A non-green orc wouldn't that be just like human or an elf if they have pointy ears? Anyway godlike.

Presley (Level 1 Seaman) at 6/20/2007 1:30:30 AM
Just wow. Best pixelart I've ever seen. The colour use is especially superb.

BadMrBox (Level 2 Quiet One) at 5/13/2007 2:51:14 PM
Nice. So much detail in the piece. The ladies doesn't look like orc's at all but very good.

gambit1234 (Level 1 Jukyu) at 4/11/2007 1:02:54 AM
nice asses lol

rockybolan (Level 1 Thug) at 4/7/2007 7:22:45 PM
Agreed, grim666, their butts are divine.

I love this piece. 

grim666 (Level 1 Rookie) at 4/5/2007 2:38:06 AM
I like big butts and I can not lie awsome 4/5

slayer (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/21/2007 11:40:39 AM
Awsome

iLKke (Level 8 Cannibal) at 2/21/2007 8:01:11 AM
Great work on the nature, especiallt the leaves in the back. Only thing i dont like is the decapitated head, it looks too clean cut. The shrooms make up for it! ;D

cerealkiller54 (Level 6 Yonkyu) at 2/19/2007 5:19:49 PM
Orcs? They look like beefy ladies...

Boder (Level 2 Corporal) at 2/15/2007 7:40:29 PM
You know it's good when those supreme bootays aren't the best part!

khorin (Level 1 Gangster) at 1/28/2007 8:39:43 AM
I must say that this piece has a wonderful composition.

hay lin 9100 (Level 1 Rookie) at 1/16/2007 9:33:01 PM

Packrat (Level 7 General Manager) at 1/5/2007 5:39:44 AM

Elementor (Level 1 Rookie) at 11/9/2006 8:20:08 AM

Sgrum (Level 5 Captain) at 8/11/2006 1:06:52 PM
Pretty art. The orc woman are too sexy to be orcs ;) I´d paint more muscular shoulders´n´torsos( they´ve strong legs, why don´t strong bodies... to beating his males)

kankki (Level 2 Corporal) at 8/10/2006 1:49:59 AM
I'm.. stunning!

Arithmetician (Level 4 Deputy) at 7/30/2006 3:05:22 PM

Squish (Level 1 Rookie) at 5/31/2006 10:12:05 AM
damn....what a piece!

Fong Fong (Level 1 Rookie) at 5/2/2006 1:06:38 AM
Why do these women look like different versions of me?

kayleehomie (Level 1 Rookie) at 4/25/2006 1:54:50 PM

buloght (Level 6 Hitman) at 4/25/2006 12:31:36 PM
Awesome bb, congratulations on 1st, truely one of my favourite favourites!

Flameruler13 (Level 6 Cannibal) at 4/22/2006 5:31:22 PM
congrats on first place big brother!

Ghost (Level 1 Seaman) at 4/7/2006 2:46:44 PM
that is pretty funny with the head on the spear, lol

Aleiav (Level 2 Quiet One) at 3/27/2006 3:17:12 PM
Those are the hottest orcs I've ever seen. :D :P

huh? (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/27/2006 5:57:55 AM
Robert Crumb would love those legs :D

mccow28 (Level 1 Gangster) at 3/26/2006 9:36:25 PM

This is my favourite pixelation on Pixeljoint. I like how the legs look [legs... yes. <_<; ], the background and everything look amazing. And with such a low color count. O_o

This has encouraged me to improve my pixel art abilities. Huzzah.


buloght (Level 6 Hitman) at 3/26/2006 12:56:15 PM
Wow, big brother, that is amazing!

Mordalles (Level 1 Hired Gun) at 3/26/2006 12:18:30 PM

that totally rules!


miascugh (Level 4 Team Leader) at 3/26/2006 11:47:18 AM
All i'll say is that it's very professional, and i'll go as far as to call it flawless in most aspects. the relatively high saturation of hills on the horizon might dampen the atmospheric depth (is that what it's called in english) effect a bit maybe, but no big deal. a big thumbs up for the pallette management and the flora, it's among the best i've ever seen

6/6, faved and buddyfied (some time ago :P)

jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) at 3/26/2006 11:26:09 AM
Yep, who would have guessed that it would take an Ork to finally slay st0ven's dragon.

Setzer (Level 8 Cannibal) at 3/26/2006 9:30:10 AM
Shark: That wouldn't suprise me at all :). No matter how many times I come back to look at this piece it still amazes me. I can't find anything wrong with it, and the detail is astounding. In short, I love it :D. And only 24 colors for such a colorful scene as well. I could go on for days =D

phubans (Level 1 Depressed) at 3/26/2006 9:13:12 AM
I see three fine Africanesses (or Africanasses ;) not so much Orcs, though. All in all, this is a masterpiece. Great work!

Shark (Level 1 Jukyu) at 3/26/2006 6:13:47 AM
4th most fav'd piece on the site already, i see this going into second, i would also bet a large wad of money this gets onto first page of the hall of fame.

ryumaru (Level 3 Private Eye) at 3/25/2006 11:28:28 PM

i

love you


Agaki (Level 2 Mercenary) at 3/25/2006 8:39:32 PM
Its so glorious I vomit.

Larwick (Level 8 Shodan) at 3/25/2006 5:33:41 PM
 *bows at feet*

Niss (Level 3 Stalker) at 3/25/2006 7:18:46 AM
You bastard - this is just too good to be true. I know that such a thing as a fav will not compensate for all the effort but ... anyways.

Helm (Level 5 Detective) at 3/25/2006 5:34:57 AM
Some of the best stuff on Pixeljoint. Excellent techniques and colour usage. Way to go, Big Brother. 6 and favourite.

iSTVAN (Level 8 Cannibal) at 3/25/2006 5:27:11 AM
I love this aswell. I don't think I've told you, BigBrother, but I think you're brilliant. The Orcs are very sexy, in a Robert Crumb sort of way.

Fred (Level 3 Enforcer) at 3/25/2006 5:15:26 AM
One of the best image in PJ. I love it.. just love it.. favourite and 6 points... bravo..

DeathByChris (Level 4 Team Leader) at 3/24/2006 10:46:20 PM
Holy flirking shnit, that background is awesome the characters are more like Amazon women than Orcs(or Orks). the anatomy on the characters is excellent each one with their unique curves and proportions. 5 dots for your and definitely a trophy.

dm404 (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/24/2006 3:24:20 PM
Man!  Now that's what I call a work of pixel art!

kettlefish (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/24/2006 3:02:50 PM
Damn, finally you finished! (tho i do see that u got a bit lazy on that last section you were working on lol) Great job man. I had to make an account here just so I can say this is such an awesome piece! (and you know that's a mad-tastic compliment) I'll rate it as high as i can , but alas i dont know how and well I'm too lazy to learn. =P

big brother (Level 9 Rear Admiral) at 3/24/2006 2:39:38 PM

You dislike the butts because of personal preference. Your sex is irrelevant. :)


Stitchy (Level 6 SWAT) at 3/24/2006 1:54:50 PM
Really awesome. /claps
Though I don't really like their butts. ._. Then again, I am a girl.

limenu (Level 4 Killer Klown) at 3/24/2006 12:31:57 PM
Nc dood.. Nc.. this.. is.. so.. it's.. GREAT!

ptoing (Level 7 Underboss) at 3/24/2006 10:33:14 AM
Best pixelart i have seen in ages. I love everything about it. colours are ace, anatomy is good really nice work throughout. It's nice to see people making fullscreen stuff and not just sprites 5+fav

inkspot (Level 4 Button Man) at 3/24/2006 9:45:09 AM

This not true, this is not true! I am just imaging it, there is no such perfect pixelwork, it is just an imagination...

Superb.


PedroAGontijo (Level 1 White Belt) at 3/24/2006 9:17:27 AM
Perfect. Just... perfect, no more words needed.
