SciFi and Fantasy Art Lady of War by Holger ´Mangalore´ Goebber

Why are so few decent Orcs in Elfwood? I just wondered so I drew one of the most important. A very famous female Warlord of the Osther-Oc tribes who led her people nearly to freedom.
Why do Orcs have to dress in fur and hide? I also wondered about that as this makes poor foes and even worse warriors but as Orcs are meant to be a warlike race I added sufficient equipment. It does not look brute but it will do its job nicely! ;)
Done for Santharia .

29 Jul 2002	Lieuwe Boer	Loading... Yowza! An excellent pic, definitely my style. I'm gonna bookmark this gallery . Holger ´Mangalore´ Goebber replies: "Always appreciated. Saw some very nice pieces on your gallery as well. Will certainly check back to look at it in more detail."
22 Nov 2002	Anna Olender	Loading... You certainly have a different perception of orcs from anything else i have seen on elfwood, but i like the style, it takes them out of the clichéd role of brainless violent destroyer.. Nice pic Holger ´Mangalore´ Goebber replies: "I'm developing Orcs for the world of Santharia and there Orcs are the race of the element of Fire.I also dislike things like good and evil because they're very subjective. So I try to develop my Orcs more thinking how would a race of warriors behave? What would be their main impulses? What would they develop, what not? And to the very end: How can Orcs be dangerous when they don't bring a minimum of brain to the battlefield.Maybe it is not so much perception but a dislike to any simplifications that made me change my view on Orcs so far from the mainstream.Anyway, thanks for your comment!"
9 Dec 2002	Dara 'Weirdlet' Williamson	Loading... Purrs. This is a great picture, I can't draw armor/clothes or weaponry if my life depended on it, and I like her face. I did answer your comment, but the e-mail got itself returned. I have two new orcs up, if you're interested. Holger ´Mangalore´ Goebber replies: "Thanks. Sorry, when my mailbox was full. I'll check your new pics out."
11 Mar 2004	Ace Kisch	Loading... this is good....EXCEPT heh love saying that the head doesnt really go with the body, maybe if you made the skin more, i guess, rinkled, or shabby, like a real "orc". But besides that its really good. Most of your work is in color, so maybe it will look good in color
