I made this piece “The Orc,” for Art Fair Japan PLUS + ULTRA 2014 (http://systemultra.com).  I spent about a month to finish this piece and have a video of time-lapse, so hope you enjoy watching how I made it! The show was held from 10/25-28, 2014, and was successfully done.  I’d like to thank you all of you who support and come out the show.  The piece is still available, so please let me know if you like!  Thank you and cheers!!

 

An orc or ork /ɔrk/ or /ɔːk/ is a fictional humanoid creature, part of a fantasy race akin to goblins.

While the overall concept of orcs draws on a variety of pre-existing mythology, the main conception of the creatures stems from the fantasy writings of J. R. R. Tolkien (in particular The Lord of the Rings). In Tolkien’s works, orcs are a brutish, aggressive, repulsive and generally malevolent species, existing in stark contrast with the benevolent Elvish race (from which their own ancestors may have been developed and corrupted) and generally pressed into the service of an evil power. Tolkien’s concept of orcs has subsequently been adapted and imported into other works of fantasy fiction as well as into fantasy role-playing and strategy games (such as Dungeons & Dragons, Warhammer and Warcraft), broadening the recognition of the creatures in popular culture.
