Description
Onward!!
So, as mentioned yesterday, the illustrious Warchief of my Orcstagram group has put together an amazing prompt list for this year based on suggestions from the lot of us (💚). BUT, having had to prepare my submissions for this month in advance, I didn’t get to take that into consideration as much as I wished.
Instead, I’d planned on another theme. This time – Keeping it Faerie.
As I’ve mentioned before, I consider Orcs directly related to Trolls, and Ogres, etc. even though the term for them was first introduced into fantasy consciousness by J.R.R. Tolkien. But that path is still there, and very, very obvious, to me. So, as Trolls, Ogres, etc. are faerie, so are Orcs. And that is a HUGE part of my work with them.
Thusly, this year’s entries will be drawings in that vibe – keeping that resonance, calling it forth.
(And hopefully I’ll get to visit the aforementioned prompt list as I go, at least a few times.)
Good luck and have fun, everyone participating!! And enjoy, those of you who stalk the tag ⚔
