Some design work for Orwurm's ancestor. aka, the Orcestor

---

I've actually had a design for her banging about since waaaay back when I auditioned for trolldown here [link] early last year.

Not sure if her face is a bit too bland or not- like maybe she needs something to match Orwurm's eye motif... perhaps a facial marking of some kind?

Ughhhhh. There's so much I could say about why things look like they do... I guess the most worthy thing of note is that Or and the P.A are both themed on earwigs.. But Or's horns are more like a male earwig's curved pincers, and the P.A's resemble the scissor like shape of female earwig pincers. Hypothetically if Or can live to full adulthood, her horns will eventually take on P.A's look. Also she'd get the freaky aztec statue/pincer teeth. XD
(their lusi have a similar theme)

Also I guess it's very non-standard to have troll designs with non-black hair, so perhaps I should give my reasoning- The P.A is/was massively hemospectrum-obsessed, and as her job essentially sums up to 'make horrifying art for the empire in the form of the blood and guts of our victims', she was effectively artistic in nature. A combination of these two personality traits resulted in her dyeing her hair blue... But seeing as she wasn't a. using a colour that overstepped her spectrum bounds, and b. dutifully did her job, her higher ups decided they just didn't care enough about what her hair colour was.

Orwurm's hair is for basically the same reasons, only as what's effectively a younger and therefore inferior version of the P.A, she failed to find a way to dye her hair blue, and settled for a colour she could manage- the fact that it's a lower colour on the spectrum could be seen as symbolic somehow?

There's probably other stuff I could ramble about but I think the pic covers most of it. XD
Oh, I guess P.A actually needs a title that's easier to say and more namelike than "the propaganartillerist"... suggestions welcome?

TLDR: Ancestor stuff for my fantroll. Hopefully it will be interesting to look at.


Orwurm, the Propagandartillerist and their lusi belong to me.
