I had started colouring this like a month ago and someone reminded me I should finish it, so that's what I did today. I love orc culture, and so I love drawing it too. And since the days of good old WCII I fell inlove with the tribal, heavy drums that the horde campaign music usually played, and after the Kodo Riders in WCIII, I've assumed that orcs have a sort of taiko drum thing going on.

SO here are some Horde Drummers, probably getting the troops pumped before pummeling some smelly Allies.
Sketched, lined in openCanvas, coloured in Photoshop. There's a lot of things wrong with this which is why I didnt finish it a month ago, but I'm semi-pleased with the result. :)

I like how you've used firey tones and colors for the whole image here, it really gives it an atmosphere. Great work on the dynamic positions of the characters too, how they're captured in the middle of drumming.

I love the sunset-like tone you have going on. And you did a great job on the sweat and other details.
Awesome job :).

I love how you shaded this. I totally agree with what Blythe had to say. The colors of the background and the overtone really do create that sense of the chaos-to-be. I love their clothing, and how well you colored it.. It's so awesome.
