Not really familiar with Warcraft, but is there a canon reason beyond fanservice as to why the Orc men look like Liefeld characters while the Orcish women look like regular, conventionally attractive humans but with pointy ears and subtly pointy teeth?
Like, were they an engineered species like in Lord of the Rings and the Discworld, with all the traits introduced with magic to make them supersoldiers being on the Y chromosone or something, so the women are closer to their original human-ish/Elfy ancestor? …If so, the culture of these folk could be interesting, in the sense that they were created for a specific purpose and have been left to their devices for possibly hundreds of years. Would they have a religion based around their creators, what are gender roles like in this society, are women discouraged from being involved in fighting or are they on a more even footing than their human counterparts in this area? etc.
Or is this one of those situations where we’re not meant to think about it due to stuff like this just being set dressing in the genre. Like how everyone’s problems can almost always be solved with a different monarch, rather than just setting up a democracy or some sort.
I like my abandoned race of sentient supersoldiers idea more personally. Would explain why Orcs go around fighting everyone (it being what they were literally made to do originally) without getting into that vaguely racist ”Barbarian race“ trope (like the Dothraki).
Oh man, I didn’t know it was this bad.
That looks..yikes.
Well, Orc women don’t look like that, Garona was half orc, half human (I think it was human!), so she has the features of a human female as well!
And if you don’t think the male orc is attractive, I’ve got a whole side of the fandom that’d probably like to have a word with you!
Just my two cents though!
Half Orc and Half Draenei. Which… Draenei women were pretty curvy.
when people who aren’t familiar with warcraft try to talk shit about warcraft and just wind up being shot down
If she’s half draenei why no crest, horns, hooves, tail, tentacles, or anything resembling a draenei tho??
lazy as fuuuuuuck
ok further point, that green dude I posted before is Med’an. His parents are Medivh (Human) and Garona (Half Orc/half Draenei). Literally her son, a QUARTER DRAENEI, looks MORE DRAENEI than her. :(
I mean female characters getting shafted model wise isn’t new in warcraft.
Like female Taunka are just reused Tauren for example.
So when I heard Garona being in a movie, I was hype because hey, they can push the design since its not a game model! Female Draenei have sharp teeth, crests, and some other neat designs–like I dunno–
that’d be neat, I’d think, but I know not likely. And even then, other official art of her is more like:
She is one of the most well known rogues/assassins the in warcraft universe, so that’s one of the main reason when I saw that lax presenting pose in the poster, my kneejerk reaction was “what the actual fuck.”
I mean, genetics is a very complex thing so take that into account.
We aren’t just mixing flowers here, it’s full blown people.
Considering how quickly they’ve rewritten her to be half draenei or half human and the history behind a lot of female races not looking much like their male counterparts (Trolls and Mogu for example), its still shitty lol.
If she’s half draenei people are quick to say oh, we was engineered to look more orc–except she doesn’t look more orcish here, she looks human. So was she made to look more human then? Even then she just looks like a spraypainted human.
Like, maybe, just maybe, the design is just not very good lmao.

What color are/were Chrysalis’ wings before changing the opacity? I’m coloring a thing because reasons and I can’t get the wings to look right. The general goal, when I color something for someone else, is to match that person’s style as closely as possible, with minor variations. So, I’m trying to get all the colors right. But the wings are kicking my butt.
I used manga studio so the opacity was built straight into the color.
Insides where a light blue and the outside was darker leaning a slight more bit to green.
Sue Perkins, Mel Giedroyc, Mary Berry, and Paul Hollywood. I might be a little worried.
Houdini and Doyle.
I feel confident.
The Golden Girls. #ciner1013 was right, I should have been watching Daredevil
Love It or List It. I’m doomed, but my grave will be in a fantastic location with a gorgeous view, and the funeral service and luncheon after will be beautiful and elegant.
I last watched Daredevil. Thank god, I’m safe!
the magicians. i honestly don’t know if i’m going to be ok or not.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I’ll be rescued, but in the process three drug dealers, the Pontiac Bandit, and a corgi will make their getaways while a warehouse burns down and someone ends up wearing a bunny suit.
I caught two thirds of an episode of Metalocalypse. Damage will be extraordinary and I will likely die of burst eardrums, unless for some reason the accountant feels I ought to survive.
A friend of mine and I just binge-watched Fringe. The good news is, we’ll be fine. The bad news is, the collateral damage may exceed two universes.
it was almost FMA but then it was 11.22.63 instead FUCK FUCK FUCK I’M DOOMED
dragon ball super. it’s gonna be entertaining to watch at least
i last watched agents of shield
you only think you kidnaped me actually it’s part of a clever scheme to get you to reveal your hydra contacts and now the building is surrounded good luck
Arrested Development. I am fucked.
Garnet.
I’m in good loving hands.
Walking Dead. That’s a hot mess of characters, part of which are trying to save me, part responsible for the kidnapping, and part trying to eat me.
Osomatsu-san. I am so fucked…
Rick and Morty. Im very afraid
I’m re-watching the kidnapping episode of Angie Tribeca right now, and I think that means I have an obligation to reblog.
Anyway… everyone dies unless TBS renews us? (Go watch Angie Tribeca. It is the goofiest and best thing ever.)
The night manager. Excellent. Tom Hiddleston is saving me. :3
