Young Thrall

Here is a picture i made of Thrall when he was younger, my first time painting :P, so please be gental with the crits, i know his lip and chin and eye are messed up but i cant do anything about it with water color :P

very twisted nose, looks more like frankenstein than thrall -.-

dont look at all like frankenstine to me

Nor me, very nice falco

thank your antihero=)

Picture itself, technically, is well made. But I don't know if it's just me, but I don't that green skin and tusks make no orc. Apart from the nose, everything looks too much of a human. Warcraft orcs look like they're crafted with axe.

Apart from that, well done.

yeah but remember it is a younger thrall, when he was in his teenager body, as teenagers their lips, tusks and chin are far smaller..

i think it's awesome, i never learned to paint using watercolors, mi drawings just become a brown thing in the paper, maybe so much water...

the main rules with watercolor are to always paint from light to dark and to paint in lots and lots of layers. Don't make an intense color from the first layer, paint more layers to get high saturation. By that you can also achieve a neat sub surface scattering effect, for example skin: paint some layers of orange and above desaturate it with green, blue and stuff like that.

bah! fools rules if u ask me

those are actual things that make a watercolor painting better, if you think they're foolishnes it's your problem.

That is indeed your problem if technical issues are fools rules...

i agree that it does not look like an orc, even a young one.

some pictures of Thrall:

what makes your picture thrall?

Well, i was looking at the adventures one before i made this, and looked at him now, trying to find the best middle... i thought that was the best.. i guess i was wrong

Water colors are fun. I actually know TDR's suggestion is correct having done water colors several times. I don't quite think this looks like thrall at all, even for a teenage thrall. This is only because the face is as oblong as a humans apposed to being sharp and muscular like war3 orcs are, and the tusks are not quite 'orc' proportional, because if you look at most orcs their tusks go past their nose and up to their eyes. These look sort of like a reversed vampire. I would have to say 3/5 because this doesn't really suit out as what you called it, but the water coloring is quite nice.
