Orcs are known across media (most notably in J. R. R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings) to be goblin-like humanoids that are brutish and aggressive in nature.

In Dragon Quest’s case however, Orcs are boar-like humanoids instead.

They both share the same aggressiveness however.

We mentioned fantasy cosmogonies in class today, so here are 4:
▶️ Ainulindalë (music of the Ainur)
▶️ Lewis’ Aslan sings Narnia into being
▶️ Adams’ Lord Frith creates the animals
▶️ Dunsany’s creator god, Mana-Yood-Sushai
Can you think of others?

If we’re going to apply one writer’s worldbuilding to another’s body of work, then this is what humans look like in Tolkien’s world because that’s what they look like in *mine*.

Difficult choice, but I think it’s this watercolour of Nerdanel. Painting this piece rekindled my interest in rarely depicted scenes/characters from Tolkien’s works. With a commission in the pipeline that revolves around the Second Age, I look forward to exploring them. https://t.co/sBbcBZoUAv

Now we are really getting into things! This was a design that I had in my mind from day 1. Mixing Gandalf with Ahsoka (obvs). As well as taking inspo from the Mortis Gods to allude to his status as a Maiar in Tolkien’s mythology - with the Mortis Gods taking the role of the Valar
