What started your affinity for orcs?

That's a pretty excellent question, actually.

I think it all started a long time ago with the character The Beast, from Disney's iteration. From that moment forward, I always had a thing for a guy with an underbite of sorts, those tusks. When orcs came along, I originally couldn't get past the Tolkien orcs, more terrifying and disgusting than anything.

And then along came Thrall, son of Durotan from the Warcraft franchise. Over the years, he's gone from frumpy-looking crude orc model to a handsomely-crafted and well-designed Orc who i swear was designed just to be sexy. I swear it.
