Orcs showed up in a variety of colors in shadowrun. I distinctly remember an orc yakuza guard on the back of one of the source books. Wasn't there an orc mercenary that was a yellow ish green in the archetypes? Of course - as do all humans. In general I cant remember any note in the source books saying orcs being particularly green, greenish or actually any particular colour other than common for ordinary people. (I didn't read all source books I may have missed something). I wouldn't take some green tints in skin tone on shadowrun artwork as evidence though. It may have been intended lighting effect, simply a matter of painting technique (that's my pick),or this particular character played too much Warhammer in his youth and got himself a colourizing treatment because he just wanted to be green, or it may have been that artwork author just couldn't cope with fact that orcs in Shadowrun just aren't green and hinted green shade just to deal with cognitive dissonance. LOL. I was just kidding writing about the stereotypes and really don't want to start an argue about the one true image of Shadowrun orcs , but if there is something distinct about Shadowrun orcs it is that they are more human and well -in general not green

Exactly what I was thinking. I thought the slayer style lent itself well to a shaman or punk-thug archetype.
You're right. And I am playing Shadowrun Returns, so I knew better. I just didn't realize my mistake until after. I'll post a revision soon.
P.S. I have time for making 1 more fantasy-cyberpunk mini before my vacation runs out. Any requests? If not, the next one will probably be a female elf decker.

Me likes. Now waiting for the elfemale decker. Any particular reason why they are all missing iris/pupils?

Any particular reason why they are all missing iris/pupils? Mainly it is the style, but also when you print them as minis you often lose that level of detail.

It is not the level of detail that made me curious. It is rather that the eyes are whole made white. When you look at a person from distance the whole eye area is usually darker than the rest of the face, because of iris+pupil+lashes+brow shadow+ ev. wrinkles etc. all darker and together larger than the eye white, but if it's just a matter of style than ok.

The first two, plus a recently finished troll and elf (Her pointy ears are hard to see from under the headphones). I just have to do the borders etc. and they'll be ready. Ryan
