Very nicely done! Your style is deft and well detailed, and the brutishness of these Orcs and Goblins is most appreciated. They need their savagery.
Please pardon me asking, but would you by any chance be interested in helping out the volunteer project known as the Ninth Age (T9A for short: www.the-ninth-age.com/ )? It is the spiritual successor of Warhammer Fantasy, run by 300+ volunteer contributors all tinkering in their spare time, and it aims to go even further than Warhammer did along the paths of historically based dark fantasy smΓΆrgΓ₯sbord setting: i.imgur.com/dlmQkB6.jpg
For one thing, T9A is the perfect way for what used to be Warhammer fantasy fanart to instead become official artwork for an emerging setting, and thus gain much more widespread exposure.
Moreover, T9A is always welcoming artists who want to join their art team, and your skill and distinctive designs would be great to have on board, should you ever be interested in joining and help develop this setting by putting your own distinctive mark upon its art pool. If you would by any chance be interested in donating old artworks of yours, then here is a quick guide for T9A gallery upload of art contributions: i.imgur.com/ORLCncV.jpg
I can get you in E-mail contact with the head of their art team, if ever you're interested.
At any rate, splendid artworks! Evocative to boot, and finely coloured. Have a nice day.

It is a very interesting project and rich in possibility. Especially since I understand very well the interest as a former French player Warhammer role play. I regret the VIeux Monde, and its riches, I can not hang on to the new world of Age of Sigmar. Β Β Participate in the project and the community, why not

Cheers!
There is one grey-zone area with T9A being non-commercial which I long had a hard time getting my head around, and which cuts away so much potential art donations from kind and helpful artists.
It's got to do with getting some rules of the game out into brick and mortar stores to draw new recruits in. While all publications from T9A are available for free download from their website (no paywall), the project early on decided to allow for an indirect commercial use. T9A consists of over 300 volunteer artists, play testers and so on, all enthusiasts tinkering in their spare time, and T9A and its contributors will never see a dime of profit (it's run on cash donations from the community). However, their decision to allow supporting companies (kept at arm's length legally, and with no financial support involved; these are simply companies who get to post new releases on T9A forum if they behave, since their products are of interest for the hobbyists) to print and sell T9A publications means that such companies may potentially turn a profit from all the free volunteer work. All rules, background stories and other publications are still available for free on T9A website and will always be so, but this indirect commercial link is made for getting a community-made game more visible in brick and mortar stores to draw in new blood. To hook new players, who will then visit the 9th Age website and partake of everything for free.
I originally missed this, since my Legalese isn't strong, and proceeded to ask a number of artists if they were interested in donating to a non-profit project (since I knew for certain that T9A will never make money). Many helpful artists most generously did, but in the end these art donations weren't picked up on. A legal advisor of T9A slammed down on it, and my proposal of simply creating two art pools was rejected (one purely non-profit as per artists' own stipulated terms, to be used for work that cannot be printed and sold whatsoever, and another donated under full terms - but note that full art donations are obviously always on artists' terms, artists' IP, and donated for as long as the artist allows, nothing strange there).
Which means that T9A has combined the disadvantage of a community project (no art budget like companies have) with the disadvantage of a company (no asking for non-profit art donations like volunteer projects can do) while never seeing money itself from this arrangement. It's an odd beast for a volunteer collaboration to say the least, but makes some sense because T9A wish to fill shoes left behind by GW and keep outreach up. The length of this description is in itself testament to my perplexion at the order of things here.
Personally I'd very much prefer to be able to simply say that all T9A work is non-profit and non-commercial, but said grey zone throws a spanner into the machinery.
While I myself am happy to work for a volunteer collaboration under such terms without a second thought given (any way my drawings and background writings get out is good, money or not isn't a creative concern for me), it's more than understandable that many artists would not accept it.
All that said, you could get in contact with T9A art team if you want to check it out there with the art team leaders in person, or see what can be done. I'll PM you the E-mails and leave the choice open. Could be worth checking out if nothing else.
At any rate, thanks for your willingness to contribute, whatever you decide upon, and thanks for drawing Greenskins brutish as they should be! Keep up the good art flow, no matter which settings you dabble in.
Kind regards

a classic looking image, reminds me of the old art from the guidebook for Warcraft and Warcraft 2 (before Blizzard went full cartoony)

How odd! Is it perhaps newer browsers kicking back against any website that is not https:// ? I've heard about this increasingly as of late, with people saying websites I often frequent being flagged as unsafe, even when my anti-virus program haven't spotted anything.

Very nice! I always imagine goblins serve orcs out of respect for the bigger green skins.

I think it's a better choiceΒ for a goblin to be orc's slave than orc's dinner
