It's called evil, kid

Tolkientober 2020: prompts "a man" and "a warrior"

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.
