"GROND THEY NAMED IT, IN MEMORY OF THE HAMMER OF THE UNDERWORLD OF OLD."

PIC INFO: Spotlight on an illustration depicting Sauron's host during the Siege of Gondor, bringing up the hundred-foot long battering ram, Grond, to smash the Great Gate of Minas Tirith and burn the White City. March 3019 of the Third Age.

"Great engines crawled across the field; and in the midst was a huge ram, great as a forest-tree a hundred feet in length, swinging on mighty chains. Long had it been forging in the dark smithies of Mordor, and its hideous head, founded of black steel, was shaped in the likeness of a ravening wolf; on it spells of ruin lay. Grond they named it, in memory of the Hammer of the Underworld of old. Great beasts drew it, orcs surrounded it, and behind walked mountain-trolls to wield it."

-- "The Siege of Gondor," Book IV of "THE LORD OF THE RINGS: The Return of the King," written by J.R.R. Tolkien.

So I drew a Mordor orc this time.

He turned out looking a bit too much like a dunmer from Elder Scrolls, but if you think about it, the orcs from LOTR movies did look like ugly dunmer a bit 🤷‍♀️

Like I mentioned, he is not a Moria orc or an Uruk-hai - there are some differences between these types I guess, particularly in case of the Uruk-hai, of course (at least in the movies). This is a classic Mordor fella.

I named him "Shar-za", which roughly translates to "human voice", since he knows Westron.

Tolkien's take on orcs was quite radical, since initially he indicated they were creatures evil by default and irredeemable. However, he himself felt a bit uncomfortable with this idea and gradually changed his mind to something slightly less "black and white".

I guess Shar-za isn't an entirely evil creature. For sure he was very fun to draw 🤷‍♀️ I think that typically pretty faces do get boring after a while.

PS. Ignore the bow. Please ignore it.

Writing orcs and orc like species:

Good: Their culture is superficially brutal and belligerent but in truth it's not any less civilized. Smacking each other is their equivalent of a firm, confident handshake. Their pacifism consists in ritualistically beating the shit out of each other in non lethal combat to make up.

Bad: Their culture is violence and might makes right to the very core. Combat is the only means by which conflict is resolved, often to the death. War is a lifestyle they never get tired of as their life expectancy is like 20 on average.

Terrible: Their culture is a thinly veiled attempt to get the reader to support genocidal extermination. Fighting is merely a prelude to brutal torture with no practical purpose beyond satisfying their inherent sadism. Any minuscule amount of humanity they have serves to accentuate their comically hyperbolic cruelty.

Worst: Same as above but it happens in a setting where everyone else is pure and noble and white and the author is trying to make a point.

"...AND BY SLOW ARTS OF CRUELTY WERE CORRUPTED AND ENSLAVED; AND THUS DID MELKOR BREED THE HIDEOUS RACE OF THE ORCS..."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on the many different types of orcs and orc makeup effects by Weta Workshop, all orc makeup iterations featured here can be found in Peter Jackson's first installment in the "Lord of the Rings" film Trilogy, "The Fellowship of the Ring" (2001). New Line Cinema.

"But of those unhappy ones who were ensnared by Melkor little is known of a certainty... Yet this is held true by the wise of Eressëa, that all those of the Quendi who came into the hands of Melkor, ere Utumno was broken, were put there in prison, and by slow arts of cruelty were corrupted and enslaved; and thus did Melkor breed the hideous race of the Orcs in eny and mockery of the Elves, of whom they were afterwards the bitterest foes. For the Orcs had life and multiplied after the manner of the Children of Ilúvatar... And deep in their dark hearts the Orcs loathed the Master whom they served in fear, the maker only of their misery..."

-- "The Silmarillion," "Quenta Silmarillion, III -- Of the Coming of the Elves and the Captivity of Melkor," written by J.R.R. Tolkien
