unused dragonmaw orc OC

Here's an unused Dragonmaw Orc OC idea from 2019.

This design has a bit of an interesting story behind it. There's this other guy who used to make 3D stuff too, and he had a hot looking Orc OC with a dragon tattoo on his back. I asked him if I could use his Orc for one of my scenes. He said yes, but only if he was paired with another one of his Orc OCs, because they were a couple. The other Orc OC...was not attractive, so I rescinded my offer.

But I still liked that OC, so I figured I might as well make my own reimagination of him. This was the result. The tattoo on the back is nearly identical to the one that the other guy used for his OC, but I expanded upon the idea. Since he has a dragon tattoo on his back, it wouldn't be a stretch that he could also be a Dragonmaw clan Orc. And it's a pretty Asian looking dragon too, so I thought he could also be someone that specializes in controlling cloud serpents. It's pretty lore-friendly, I think.

So why has this OC gone unused? Because of Kok'rak, the infamous Mr. Boobalicious. Kok'rak basically stole the show from every other Orc OC that I have. And besides Kok'rak, I just have other Orc OCs that I find more attractive than this Dragonmaw Orc. So it's kind of an unfortunate situation for him. I put in the effort to create him, only to realize I don't really want to use him for anything. It makes me wonder why did I even bother to create him in the first place. It was probably just me proving to myself that I can successfully "reverse engineer" simpler OC designs. I was able to do it with the helmeted human I mentioned in another post, and I was definitely able to do so here as well.

I'd be happy to hand this Orc over to ak0 if he wants, but otherwise I still don't see me using him anytime soon.
