This heads are a conversion for NWN, from a Morrowind, orc's heads, MOD:

Barabus' Orcs.

 

Those heads looks very good for Orcs or half-orcs, and the original author have alowwed their use in other MODs, as long as they have been credit for their work

<preparing lots of...>

 

Early shot of Mama orc idol(will do Papa idol and totem also)

 

Edit:  In game and I'mdone for the moment... eyes crossing :-P

 

<...offerings to appease>

<ribbing...>

 

Ok, one more because I just couldn't leave the rib cage out :-P

The rib cage will be a separate placeable with an ontooff anim of the ribs sliding up out of the ground.

 

The Moma idol will have an off state of ashes (no glow)in the brazier and an on state with animated glowing coals and screaming spirit smoke (Yes, there are faces in there).

 

<...ol' smokey>

Cute half-orc lady, head. This is another Morrowind conversion from the MOD:

Westly Presents Half-Trolls

Another pretty half-orc lady, based on another Pathfinder official art picture...

How about some orc portraits?  (The right most two in the middle row not included.... can't remember if those were ones I made into nwn sized portraits or ones that got thrown into my project folder on accident)

 

 

Got a pair of orc head models, an axe, and some other minor bits, but not sure if I'll have them done in time given my training schedule this month

<praying...>

 

The two main demi-gods of the true orcs of Amethyst are Po-po Sky-father and Moma Earth-mother. 

Here's another rough...

 

Po-po

 

 

<...he figures out the shadow problems>

I like!


And it kinda looks like Po-po's banging away one some orcly divine big drums '>

<digging...>


The creation myth for the Amethyst orcs (which is an incredibly long poetic eda) has the origin of life starting with the Big Bang... And Po-po's thunderbolts feature prominently in the Sky-father overcoming Moma's... Er, maidenly resistance.

The two are almost always portrayed as fighting ala The Honeymooners, and, in fact, the wedding customs, particularly for the higher ranks, can be quite dangerous... (Edit: to bystanders, just to be clear. The main participants take great care not to hurt each other. But audience participation is expected and rather... bloody)


Perhaps I'll transcribe some of that lore and ship it with the idols :-)


<...that funky beat>

Orcish war drums would be a cool addition. '>

<not at all...>

 

Not perfect, but the activated/deactivated anims are coming along:

 

 

(Ignore the lensflare :-P Only way I know to get rid of it is hand editing and I'm gonna wait to do that until the model's done)

(@ MDA: There's an idea :-) How about a checkbox in NWMax+ to enable light flares with it disabled by default?)

I'd love to include these in a future Q update - any objections?

Dammit Shemsu-Heru, how am I supposed to decide my collection of head sis complete and work on compiling it down to one module, when you keep insisting on being awesome in public? What is the matter with you?!

 

Um... please don't stop.
