ох как классно!

A scary Orc that looks intensely angry, intelligent, and undead.

EKukanova Featured By Owner Dec 4, 2016

Thank you! I tried to put exactly that impression)

TedShatner10 Featured By Owner Dec 6, 2016

He looks like a more impressive Uruk sized ancestor to the Moria Orcs perhaps crossed with the Strangers from "Dark City".

Vasilii1 Featured By Owner Oct 29, 2016

Очень интересный образ. Ощущается, что это не просто полуживотное, какими обычно изображают орков, а вполне себе представитель вполне себе самобытной расы и народа, пусть злого и жестокого.
Красиво.

EKukanova Featured By Owner Oct 29, 2016

Спасибо! да, стадо животных вряд ли смогло бы нанести такой урон к концу Первой эпохи, даже под грамотным руководством)

Vasilii1 Featured By Owner Nov 4, 2016

Кстати, мне очень импонируют и образы Ваших квенди. Красивые, благородные, сильные и мудрые, с пламенем сильного духа в глазах. Их образы, их доспехи...всё это откликается.
Буду с нетерпением ждать Ваших новых работ.

Very interesting look for YOT/1st age Orcs.

love the blood spatters all over the drawing, as if just the act of drawing him is enough to make you bleed...

Ysydora Featured By Owner Sep 23, 2016 Hobbyist General Artist

He looks great and impressive!

This is stunning. Just like she might jump out of the paper in any second.
Even more impressive since it is "just" a sketch.
Wow!

EKukanova Featured By Owner Sep 9, 2016

Thank you very much!^^ sometimes "unfinished" works looks more imoressive then totally complete)

Samy-Consu Featured By Owner Sep 6, 2016

wow spectacular !!!

Sirielle Featured By Owner Sep 6, 2016 Digital Artist

Intriguing orc, fitting the version of orcs origins from the Elves. Not a mindless best.
But - why is it among drawings? Is the face also a drawing or painted?

EKukanova Featured By Owner Sep 7, 2016

Thank you very much, Karolina! exactly, I tried to draw here a twisted elf)
This work is done with watercolours and white gouache, but I considering this one as a grisalle with a bit of red)

Lillooler Featured By Owner Sep 4, 2016 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I love this drawing. It keeps coming up in my suggested pictures to look at. I love it so much. Seriously, it's beautiful and has an almost organic feel to it. Gorgeous.

EKukanova Featured By Owner Sep 5, 2016

Thank you very much!^^

Wow!!!

kimberly80 Featured By Owner Sep 1, 2016

какой хорошенький) меня прямо его рука завораживает вместе с наплечником, аррр, хорошо!

EKukanova Featured By Owner Sep 1, 2016

Вот и я против идеи, что орки были жалкими уродцами. Мелькор с его любовью к вещам красивым и величественным вряд ли такое слелал бы, тем более из эльфов)

kimberly80 Featured By Owner Sep 1, 2016

ой я чую тем искажения, эт какой-то философский диспут, можно говорит много и долго)
просто ты очень классно рисуешь и все тут, вот это главное
и не важно кого эльфов орков или еще кого-то, я тобой восхищаюсь!

EKukanova Featured By Owner Sep 1, 2016

Спасибо, друг! Да, тему искажения стоит переосмыслить, и как следует) мне вот ради этого наброска пришлось вжиться в роль Мелькора, чтоб нормально исказить эльфа, а не просто "нарисуй самую страшную антропоморфную тварь, какую сможешь представить")

kimberly80 Featured By Owner Sep 1, 2016

ик) я аш икнула про самую страшную антропоморфную тварь!
Нуу, дааа, это заставляет пофилософствовать так или же иначе, озадачиться идеей)
ну тем орков может вообще самая сложная, ну как на мой личный вкус...

Sigovius Featured By Owner Aug 31, 2016 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Very nicely done! Your Tolkien themed work is always impressive.

EKukanova Featured By Owner Sep 1, 2016

Thank you very much!

oOSulimeOo Featured By Owner Aug 31, 2016

Absolutely amazing! It's so seldom that you see a really well drawn Orc. ^^

EKukanova Featured By Owner Sep 1, 2016

Thank you!

you're welcome :}

Great!

befanini Featured By Owner Aug 31, 2016

This is a perfect perversion of your breathtaking rendition of Middle Earth's Firstborn. Even your grotesque is beautiful, and fittingly so; it is not hard to see that this is the flipside of the coin: faint echoes of the grace is still there, and glimpses of the ethereal birthright of the elves manifest in the ears and the exquisite lines and angles of the face. Your talent is truly a gift! Thank you for consistently sharing it with us, and for choosing Tolkien as your means of expression ♥

EKukanova Featured By Owner Sep 7, 2016

Thank you so much for this comment and your kind words!
Truly, I tried to forget everything that I saw about orks, and remember that Tolkien said of this race, I tried to draw here an elf after Morgot's distortion, and I'm truly happy if my thoughts of orks are apparent here.

Pushdug Featured By Owner Aug 30, 2016 Hobbyist General Artist

Aahh I love this! Gorgeous!

EKukanova Featured By Owner Sep 7, 2016

Really cool, very creepy.

thegreymoon Featured By Owner Aug 30, 2016

Oooh, this is different from you!

Great work, as always! You're one of my favourite Tolkien artists! <3

EKukanova Featured By Owner Aug 31, 2016

Thank you so much!

Very well done, Elena. Too many orc renditions are cute or stupid-looking. This one most certainly is neither. An opponent to be feared.

EKukanova Featured By Owner Aug 31, 2016

Thank you very much, Steven! I thought a lot of this race, so here a result of my reflections), also I think that to belittle an opponent is belittle a deed.
