The sluggish blow of the Orc was nimbly avoided by the agile Elf, and such failure would likely mean him joining his fallen comrades around the stump.

Drums of War - starter pack by *RalphHorsley is packed full of brilliant color. The detail packed into it is as vivid as that of a photo. (Featured by ^PurpelBlur)

More orc stuff! I see now that you're very talented in drawing these evil creatures, and not to forget all the details! Again, very good work!

My favourite thing about this piece is that it seemed at first to be a single battle, then I noticed the other elf facing another two orcs in the background and the silhouette of more orcs joining the fray. It's that deep. Fabulous work.

Hey orc boy! That prettyboy's gonna slash yer face!

Masterful lighting once again. I really like the cast shadow on the orcs face. It really gives the right idea of how the characters are positioned.

That's a very nasty looking shield btw.

The detail's fantastic, but this feels a little static to me. I wish i could work out why, though. I especially like the background details, they're subtle enough that i didn't pick them up at first, but the presence of other figures in the background makes it feel bigger and more dramatic.
