A Friendly Barbarian

Just your friendly village orc that also kicks butt. Don't go calling him a barbarian, well he is, but don't call him that. This concept was done for Project: Veilrunners (canceled).

With the weapon to scale

Early exploration sketches starting with the heads to steer the rest of the designs.

At this stage, a pivot in direction to make the people of the island where this orc is from more warm, friendly, and welcoming.

Some call outs, back view, game view, etc. The pauldron got pulled in the end to simplify the design a little more.
