I painted the piece for one of the Ouroboros Kickstarter stretch goals (creating a painting journal as I want) and had a blast working on it. I wanted to do something a little different with the figure. So I'm depicting a scene where the otherwise savage orc is momentarily calmed by nature. I hope you enjoy the end result!

    Love the “story” if this one, the face and the hand reaching for the lizard. great work.

    Man, that orc is so dead. Never touch brightly colored fauna o_O

    • David PowellPLUS

      I thought it was never get involved in a land war in Asia… but never touching brightly colored fauna is also good advice.

  • David Diamondstone

    Wonderful storytelling and great textures!

  • Leonardo "LeoPelo" Archini

    Excellent way to make a soft and peaceful scene out of a warrior model.

    Uncanny talent to behold

  • Roman LappatPLUS

    I was happy to see it in my hands. Will have feedback for you from the judging point of view at NOVA soon. I mean as soon as I am back on track. Slowly recovering, but happy.

    • David PowellPLUS

      Thanks, Roman and no rush.  While I am eager to hear your feedback, I want you to be able to enjoy your recovery time after all of your hard work at NOVA.  Even a painting Jedi like you needs time to rest and recharge!
