Orc and Half-Orc Picrew Recommendations - Part 1
While depictions inevitably vary, characters with orcish heritage are typically portrayed with one or more of the following features:
These can be difficult to find when looking for character creators so here are a selection of some of the best picrews I've found so far with these features!
1. RPG Husband Generator by Drudenkreuz
Absolutely my top choice for making orcs and other larger races. While its two body types are masculine-leaning, the hair, make-up, clothing, jewelry and accessories available allow for more feminine presentation if required.
Some other great features include body hair, facial hair, scars (including top surgery scars!), wrinkles, piercings and armor.
Tusks ✅ Green Skin ✅ Grey Skin ✅ Muscles ✅
2. Dnd PCs/Npcs by fruitsponchi
While the body types available here aren't the beefiest out there, it's still a step up from most picrews of a similar style.
I particularly like this picrew for half-orcs due to its variety of tusk options but some other useful features include horns, pointed ears, freckles and scars.
Tusks ✅ Green Skin ✅ Grey Skin ✅ Muscles ❎
3. Plant's OC Creator by plantishfellow
Not the most user friendly picrew out there in my experience but definitely has enough customisation and great features to make up for it.
Most notably, it has six body types, including two muscular and two chubby. No grey skintones in this one but there's chalk white, green and a variety of natural skintones. It also has top surgery scars (among others) which is nice.
Tusks ✅ Green Skin ✅ Grey Skin ❎ Muscles ✅
4. RPG Character Maker by sixteenbee
If body type is less of a concern or your character happens to have a skinnier frame but you want a lot of customisation then look no further!
This picrew has two shades of green and two greys to choose from as well as a wonderful range of clothing and weapon options (and so much more!!)
Tusks ✅ Green Skin ✅ Grey Skin ✅ Muscles ❎
5. Man Maker by marototori
Last but not least, if beefiness is a priority, consider this man maker. It has just the one body type and modern-only clothing options but it has options for tusks, horns, wrinkles, scars, body hair and facial hair.
It's also doesn't have green or grey skintones, though there is this teal colour shown above, and a range of natural skintones.
Tusks ✅ Green Skin ❎ Grey Skin ❎ Muscles ✅
That's it for now but if I find more suitable picrews in future I'll make a Part 2!
In the meantime, feel free to browse this blog for other potential options. They might not all be optimized for orcs but there's still a ton of cool alternatives to choose from.
