Orcs for Japan Relief, 1 of 3

My friend and co-worker Dice Tsutsumi is organizing an art auction for the one year anniversary of the Japanese Tsunami. He asked us all to contribute a sketch for the auction, and left the subject matter completely open for interpretation. I chose to explore the Orcish culture.

Few people realize that, aside from being fearsome warriors, orcs are also avid lepidopterists. Many believe that this hobby stemmed from fairy-hunting and became a genuine scientific interest in the world of butterflies. Over 2,300 species of butterflies have been discovered by Orcs. Unfortunately, most of these species were then promptly eaten.

In the next couple of days we will be exploring the various facets of this fascinating race. Zug zug!
