And Tolkien's orcs weren't the traditional greenskin either. It's been a few years since I read the books, but if I remember correctly the movies are spot on (except for skipping Tom Bombadil).

I can't remember how they are described in the books (I had a bad case of pneumonia when I read them so my memories were kind of fuzzy to be begin with), but according to wikipedia Tolkien invented the orcs. So if he didn't invent the "traditional greenskin orc", who did it?

I agree. I was actually looking for a picture of someone who is wandering around in nature somewhere. I can't see Deirdra spending a lot of time in a city when there is a world to be explored.

To make it canon RifE wildness, someone should add a bunch of rampaging animals on the background.

Anyway, very detailed portrait.

So does Sheelba have elvish heritage somewhere way back (as you said there are many races) or does her race of ork look that way because the environment her clan lived in?

or is she just mutant baby child?

No idea. I'd go with the first one.

I've been searching for a good Deirdra picture. It sure is difficult to find something that has that right feel. I've found a few really good pictures (and a lot of good pictures for other leaders as well). Here's my favorate for deirdra so far

Frankly, I don't like it. I far prefer the current one.

To bring up Tolkien, Orcs were originally corrupted elves. Chew on that.

I know. Avid Tolkien fan.

Well, we could always add a bunch of animals like Jawry suggested to make it more colorful and accurate to RiFE

Or, I'm sure some of the photoshop experts around here could make the pic a little less green but I guess it doesn't matter too much if the RiFE team isn't behind changing it. Kind of strange, though, that Mahala got changed even though the change was less popular in the poll than than it is for Deirdra. Oh well, who said this was a democracy?

As long as Valk holds 1.3 hostage, the only civic available is "God King".

tadaaaaaaa

 

[Opera]

That's better

 

[scutarii]

still can't associate her with orcs - my first reaction: she is a badly overpainted elf

 

[Valkrionn]

I still vastly prefer the current Deirdra art.

 

[Opera]

... Well...

 

[arcticnightwolf]

lol Opera

I vastly disagree!



This thread is getting confusing. Sheelba should have her own thread. If that last pic posted by Opera was for Sheelba it is a great choice. If it was for Deirdra, it is a horrible choice.

 

[mo123567]

... Well...

If this pic isn't used for Sheelba it should at least be used for another leader. You just don't see a female orc that often.

Doesn't really matter. I like it, rest of the team either likes it or is indifferent to it... Not likely to be changed.

As for Sheelba, Opera posted that pic just because. Neither of us has an issue with her current art, and there are no plans to change it.

Yeah I realized that you guys were already going to keep the guy pic for Deirdra. If it really bothers me it is easy to change the pic. Thanks for reminding me that my opinion doesn't matter though.

I don't mind the current Sheelba pic either, I always figured that she has a cleaner look because she was raised by humans. I still think that Opera's pic would make a good leader though.
