Author's Note: This is an orc.
I was originally planning to show much more of it's body, but as you can see in the WIP, I made the decision to make it more of a portrait and focus more tightly on the face.
Much of it is hand drawn, but as this wasn't a strict illustration contest I was able to make use of a good number of photo sources, mainly from Wiki Commons, for stuff like background, wood, rust, skin textures, teeth, eyes, etc.
