Is it Orc or Ork? Their color be damned.
>>
>>47750683
Depends on the setting
>>
>>47751230
I've heard even Tolkien himself started to use ork on later, unpublished writings
>>
>>47750683
Either way. Depends on the setting, author, and purpose.

Fuck, there's RED Orcs that are all Daemon-fied. There's BROWN Orcs that rejected the Daemon shit wholesale.
>>
>>47750683
I love orcs of all colors and spellings. But what we need to focus on here are those shifty halflings.
>>
>>47751245
Well, if the big shot used k it is now Ork. We are now educated.
>>
>>47750756
Peach.
>>
>>47750683
The same color of a Dark Elf. Fry's meme wouldn't lie.
>>
>>47750683
Green, grey, black, ruddy and khaki.
>>
>>47750683
I run greens as pureblood orks, greys as more civilized orcs, and pigmen as genetic anomally half-rocs.

Peach, monkeys are brown.

he seems more like a beardless Dwarf to me.
hating on the dirty halflings though is still cool.

Depends on the setting.
Depends on the tribe. Orcs can be blue if they live in far north, gray in tundra, brown in steppes, and green somewhere else

Greyish...they also taste like stale bacon.

Depends on both setting and the individual ethnicities of orc.

>like a beardless Dwarf
Laddy, I'm not sure ye ken just how dire of an insult ye jest gave the man. A beardless dwarf is no kind of dwarf at all.

Greenskins

Thems is porcs.
>>
>>47750683
Depends on the setting.

In my setting they can be both (and other colors like red). The original ones were grey but they live in the jungle in very savage conditions so nowadays after some centuries the greenskin orcs are way more common since it's useful to survive. Orc life is hard.

So like humans then.


Ive come around to orcs having slightly inhuman colors. Things like orange, grey, or green skin and having strangely colored hair such as having a purple tint to it. Helps to play up the fact that they are a fantastical species.

I also like them to be a mix of human and boar, having a pig like nose but positioned like a humans instead of sticking straight out.
>>
>>47750683
RED

no, wait.

BLUE.

Fuck.

PURPLE. Yes, they are indeed purple. I can't think of orcs an anything other than purple.
>>
>>47751230
Germanic - ork
Romance - orc
>>
>>47755710
Don't be ridiculous. Has anyone ever seen a purple ork?

I think not!
>>
>>47750683
Red.
>>
>>47750683
Sand orcks - grey/brown.
Mountain/hill orcks - brown.
Plain/forest/jungle orcks - green.
Chaos/dark orcks - red/purple.
High orcks - white.
>>
>>47755680
That's a good looking Orc you got there

>>47750683
They're orc.

>someone on the internet told me Tolkien did this in unpublished writings
This is not how you establish canon.
>>
>>47756682
I was joking but I dug a little further and it's actually not even unpublished. It's not just for orcs, Tolkien changed Cs to Ks all over the place for some of the stuff on History of MIddle-Earth and The Adventures of Tom Bombadil because that's how it's supposed to be pronounced on Sindarin
>>

>High orcks

Wut.

>>
>>47752005
not with those tiny ass hands

>>47750683
are they a good cunt or a bad cunt?
