Description
Yeah, I had to draw this. J.R.R. Tolkien's most iconic fictional race of uruks drawn in the family friendly disney fashion of character faces and expressions.Had Disney made it's own adaptations (Should tolkien have allowed it) I think they would have been given a bit more charm and charisma like the most minions we read about in children's books or see in cartoons.
I had to go through several references for these guys, mostly human henchmen like Captain Hook's Pirates and bandits in the ogres in Gummi Bears.
And yes, I inked them, but it still won't be easy to color them via photoshop, in fact I don't quite think I'm satisfied with most of the faces and head styles. I keep picturing how I want them drawn in my head but I just can't seem to draw it out.
Oh well, that's just me.

Yeah, these look about right, if Disney decided to do orcs- if they did goblins, they could use Toady (Gummie Bears) or Creeper (The Black Cauldron) as references. The Horned King would be good for a lich. If the want to do something like Uruks, they could touch up a bit on what they did with Gargoyles.
I could see them modeling ther behavior on animals, depending on they want to do - like for kleptomaniacs, they could use monkeys, for brutes, they could reference gorillas and/or rhinos.
I like the mix of expressions and attitude you did with these orcs. Might be fun if they decided to do a barroom brawl with orcs, kinda like the suitor presentation scene from Brave.... though if you ask me, that was basically 'orcs in human skin',

I don't know, I feel like I could have done more. I wanted to add the feel of the Maleficent's goons, the huns in Mulan, and even characters who aren't evil like Tarzan and his gorillas.
I just don't know what's bugging me with this picture.

If you feel like doing more, adding the effects as described, go for it.
Ah, the goons, I forgot the goons- definitely a good way to do a misfit group, though they feel a bit more like goblins. I mentioned the gorillas since they're big and their frames suggest the proverbial strength that could be found in an orc.
Personally, I see nothing wrong with the picture. Only thing I can say is don't hold yourself back.
