So I've been reaaallly into Lord of the Rings lately, and I personally enjoyed Shadow of Mordor and am enjoying Shadow of War a lot. This guy spawned in Shadow of War and I had to recruit him ASAP simply for his name: Ishmoz Giggles. I fucking love him xD So I decided on top of recruiting this precious giggly boi, I'd draw him as well.

One thing I can say is that Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War have made me really like the orcs of LoTR, even if these games aren't canon I enjoy the extra dimensions added to a race that were created to strictly be evil villains. While important for a plot revolving around the good side, I do believe it important to have extra dimensions to both good and bad characters; orcs are still cruel and aggressive, but hearing the dialogue was entertaining because they seemed relatively similar to a lot of other people.

Ishmoz has and probably will always be my favourite and I hope he doesn't betray me LOL. I do hate the idea of breaking an orc's mind XD I'm too empathetic for that stuff. BUTYEAH here's my attempt to draw an orc, especially one whose face is pretty well hidden lmao.
