In my particular “cannon” for Orcks, I have given them gendered nouns. Orc/Orcs refer to women, Ork/Orks refer to men, and Orcks refer to a mixed gender group.

Because they are a diaspora, gender is very important in their culture, as well as procreation. Most Orcks don’t care what one does with…

Wow. this is pretty spot on for my Clan! We also as our young ones to decide who they are before deciding what they are, meaning, the first years of their life they are free to run and experiment, then when the time to chose comes, they are accepted as adults into the community as they are. Warrior, Crafts person, teacher, explorer. To shun a child is a great dishonor; it is stealing what they can give to the community from them. These are ALL our children.

Likewise, I’ve noticed humans cling to nuclear family units in their descriptors You know exactly who your mom, dad, aunt , third cousin twice removed are. while I know the my grandfather is my clans elder, it makes or relationship no more special then the poor farmer who taught me to thatch a roof. I am given the same respect to call them by there first names. We have something close to human “nicknames” to denote those we are close too. Our clan is a our family, biological relations have little to do with that.

Don’t ever worry about hijacking my posts, I make them to hear how people relate to my thoughts and ideas, even if it’s on a tangent.

I love the description of your clan, while I’ve already thought extensively about how adults relate to children, I haven’t yet thought about how children relate to the clan, and your post has got me thinking. …

Because they are a diaspora, gender is very important in their culture, as well as procreation. Most Orcks don’t care what one does with their leisure time, or who they have romantic relationships with, but not having children is a big faux pas. Luckily they don’t live in small family units, and are most definitely not a nuclear family structure, the community raises children, not just two parents.

things I am working on right noooooow

bogglove reblogged your photo: She has feelings

Shes CUTE!

awwww, thanks. I’m just drawing the thumbnails for an orc folktale illustration book and I’m thinking of some new orcs to draw :)

I was shortlisted for a DHX internship! Wow, I’m super honoured, and excited like a little hoppy squirrel.

The competition was really fierce, my classmates are amazing artists. I’m going to have the spend the summer gushing over their portfolios and trying to learn from them.

I have surrendered this opening pan, but it’s so far from what I’d like to call “done”.

There are foreground trees, but they ruin the composition because they’re set up for a multiplane shot. I’ll upload the animatic maybe, if it doesn’t embarrass me to hell.

This is the work in progress for my layout final, one of three bgs because I’m a FUCKING MASOCHIST.

I need to have easier ideas.

All of the character designs I ended up finishing this semester. I have more, but they are sketchy/boring/not finished. I didn’t realize that, between portfolios and my design final, I had roughly finished 14 designs. 3 of them are the orcs, which are technically of the same design style, but still. I think I might of overdid it a bit.
