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.

Zero Power (Level 3 Corporate Drone) @ 7/7/2007 09:22

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) @ 6/20/2007 01:31

Just wow. Best pixelart I've ever seen. The colour use is especially superb.

BadMrBox (Level 2 Quiet One) @ 5/13/2007 14:51

Nice. So much detail in the piece. The ladies doesn't look like orc's at all but very good.

gambit1234 (Level 1 Jukyu) @ 4/11/2007 01:03

rockybolan (Level 1 Thug) @ 4/7/2007 19:23

Agreed, grim666, their butts are divine.

slayer (Level 1 Rookie) @ 3/21/2007 11:41

Awsome

iLKke (Level 9 Nidan) @ 2/21/2007 08:01

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 Made) @ 2/19/2007 17:20

Orcs? They look like beefy ladies...

Boder (Level 2 Kukyu) @ 2/15/2007 19:40

You know it's good when those supreme bootays aren't the best part!

khorin (Level 3 Enforcer) @ 1/28/2007 08:40

I must say that this piece has a wonderful composition.

hay lin 9100 (Level 1 Rookie) @ 1/16/2007 21:33

horcy (Level 2 Corporal) @ 12/17/2006 09:28

OMG, this is amazing. One of the best pixel art pieces I've seen so far

Great to see real women, makes it so much more realistic. I could go on and on about this, it's just magnificent.

Elementor (Level 1 Rookie) @ 11/9/2006 08:20

Sgrum (Level 5 Captain) @ 8/11/2006 13:07

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) @ 8/10/2006 01:50

I'm.. stunning!

Arithmetician (Level 1 Rookie) @ 7/30/2006 15:05

24 colours... amazing, lovley clouds by the way.

lordcrazy22 (Level 1 Hired Gun) @ 6/19/2006 22:35

wow those are some hot orcs. amazing work.

Gonzo (Level 1 Rookie) @ 6/6/2006 05:43

godly, the best piece ive seen in a long time (ever?)

Squish (Level 1 Rookie) @ 5/31/2006 10:12

damn....what a piece!

Fong Fong (Level 1 Rookie) @ 5/2/2006 01:07

Why do these women look like different versions of me?

kayleehomie (Level 1 Rookie) @ 4/25/2006 13:55

well i consider this as my second favorite although i love it andwhat is on the spear it looks gross but considerably nice :)

buloght (Level 6 Centaur) @ 4/25/2006 12:32

Awesome bb, congratulations on 1st, truely one of my favourite favourites!

Flameruler13 (Level 6 Cannibal) @ 4/22/2006 17:31

congrats on first place big brother!

Ghost (Level 1 Seaman) @ 4/7/2006 14:47

that is pretty funny with the head on the spear, lol

Aleiav (Level 2 Quiet One) @ 3/27/2006 15:17

Those are the hottest orcs I've ever seen. :D :P

huh? (Level 1 Rookie) @ 3/27/2006 05:58

Robert Crumb would love those legs :D

mccow28 (Level 1 Gangster) @ 3/26/2006 21:36

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 Centaur) @ 3/26/2006 12:56

Wow, big brother, that is amazing!

Mordalles (Level 1 Hired Gun) @ 3/26/2006 12:18

that totally rules!

miascugh (Level 4 Team Leader) @ 3/26/2006 11:47

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) @ 3/26/2006 11:26

Yep, who would have guessed that it would take an Ork to finally slay st0ven's dragon.

Setzer (Level 8 Cannibal) @ 3/26/2006 09:30

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) @ 3/26/2006 09:13

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) @ 3/26/2006 06:14

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) @ 3/25/2006 23:28

love you

Agaki (Level 1 Intern) @ 3/25/2006 20:40

Its so glorious I vomit.

Larwick (Level 8 Tengu) @ 3/25/2006 17:34

*bows at feet*

Niss (Level 4 Deputy) @ 3/25/2006 07:19

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) @ 3/25/2006 05:35

Some of the best stuff on Pixeljoint. Excellent techniques and colour usage. Way to go, Big Brother. 6 and favourite.

iSTVAN (Level 8 Cannibal) @ 3/25/2006 05:27

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) @ 3/25/2006 05:15

One of the best image in PJ. I love it.. just love it.. favourite and 6 points... bravo..

DeathByChris (Level 5 Killer Klown) @ 3/24/2006 22:46

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 5 Detective) @ 3/24/2006 15:24

Man! Now that's what I call a work of pixel art!

kettlefish (Level 1 Rookie) @ 3/24/2006 15:03

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 11 Admiral) @ 3/24/2006 14:40

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

Stitchy (Level 6 Yonkyu) @ 3/24/2006 13:55

Really awesome. /claps
Though I don't really like their butts. ._. Then again, I am a girl.

limenu (Level 4 Killer Klown) @ 3/24/2006 12:32

Nc dood.. Nc.. this.. is.. so.. it's.. GREAT!

ptoing (Level 7 Cuttlefish) @ 3/24/2006 10:33

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) @ 3/24/2006 09:45

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) @ 3/24/2006 09:17

Perfect. Just... perfect, no more words needed.

TheBlackMarket (Level 4 Button Man) @ 3/24/2006 08:55

This is...magnificent. The trees and grass look so great, and the girls look so realistic...
