IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

             The leaders of the Blood Finger and Wolf's Tooth clans meet to 
arrange the capture of hobbits.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

Modeled in Rhino, the main orc took me over three hundred hours to complete and
pose, but that would have been about two thirds less if I'd been using a decent
computer.
I submitted him as part of an entry to last month's irtc, but I wasn't happy
with the scene so I completely redid it.
I thought that to make the image as photo-realistic as possible I should go to a
ridiculous amount of detail, but it didn't quite work and I don't find it very
aesthetically pleasing. I learnt a lot doing it though, most of which is
redundant now that I've started using 3ds max for posing.
