I recently painted this Garrosh Hellscream bust for a collector. As someone who knows little to nothing about Warcraft, I had to do a wee bit of research before painting him! However, even as someone who doesn't know much about the lore and the world, the Warcraft aesthetic is iconic, and unless you've been living under a rock, orcs generally are not too visually dissimilar across different worlds and stories.

The sculpt itself (by the talented freedom3d) was already very defined, but I still chose to inject some more texture into things like the metal parts and the leathers. My main plan going into painting the model was to almost exclusively use earth tones to give the model a more primal feel, and to emphasise the brutality of him as much as possible. I'm very pleased with how he turned out.
