Blackmaw Orc 2

Watercolor on paper

Drawing of an orc of the Blackmaw(Fan made) clan of Draenor, these orcs practice extensive ritual body modifications the main one being tattoos, which they decorate themselves with after important events, such as first hunt, the tattoos tell the story of that particular orc for the clan and outsiders to see.

The ink comes from a special type of flower that grows in the clans area, the flower contains powerful pigments, the orcs use this pigment from clothing dyes to their tattoos to food dye which in time stains their teeth and mouths a black/bluish color giving the clan its name.
