Azog - Blog Posts

So I drew another fucking orc.

And after ridiculous amounts of hesitation, I am showing him to the world.

This is my take on Azog the Defiler. He was only briefly mentioned in the Hobbit book, however was turned into a major antagonist in the movies. I did like the fact that the movies indicated he was an "older breed" of orcs that is less disfigured and more powerful, but other than that I kinda imagined him a bit differently. So there he is.

There is one super edgy element here - this version of Azog "decorates" his armour with pieces of armour that belonged to the warriors he killed 🤷‍♀️

Also I guess this could be a younger version of this character, considering how ridiculously nice and smooth he turned out.

Bolg: Woodland Elves! The King's son and a She-elf... they tracked us to Lake-town!

Azog: And you killed them?

Bolg: They fled... squealing like cowards.

Azog: [angrily] You fool! They will return... with an Army of Elves at their backs! Ride to Gundabad... Let the Legions come forth. [addressing his army] Elves! Men! Dwarves! The Mountain will be their tomb! To war!
