Orcs (from the Monsters series) acrylic on canvas

Often mistaken for ogres, orcs are similar in many ways, except for the fact that they tend to be more social than the reclusive ogre. By nature, orcs tend to keep company with their own, respecting displays of power, feats of strength, and placing much value on one's combat prowess. While not the brightest of the monsters, they are very powerful, but because their lower intelligence, orcs can sometimes be tricked or intimidated into thinking they are outmatched or outnumbered. However, a horde of orcs can be a fearsome and formidable force, an unstoppable mob that feeds off of each other's energy. Orcs have a penchant for drinking, debauchery, cruel pranks, and are known for their lack of sensitivity or emotional intelligence.
