Hint in KS comments from Ron

Okay, I'm dropping this then off to bed myself. Don't read *too* much into this.

Paula Patton.

Recent film she starred in was Warcraft. She played a half-orc. The orcs have wolf mounts. The other faction, humans, had flying mounts. Does that mean we get mounted figures? :D

Or maybe female orcs? Or female half-orcs? All good possibilities.

[Sirithiliel]

I'm hoping female orcs, that'd make a lot happy

 

wolves to go with them are fun too

[pcktlnt]

Would be nice to have a warband of female orcs with some units mounted on creatures. :D

I was being a little silly there, sorry if the late night humor did not translate. It is a lot of feathers to sculpt... :)

That should be a lot quicker to sculpt in Zbrush than in real life though.

 

And yes, female Orcs! 

[redambrosia]

Omg, I would be all over a band of female orcs! That would be amazing. And female giant warriors! So much YES PLEASE!!

Left out a key word there...

Gene says 12" wingspan. Woot!

 

Edit: Ron notes that this is a render of a digital sculpt, and the size is not currently set in stone. Could be a bit smaller, could be a bit bigger. We'll have to wait and see.

I especially liked the notation at the bottom '...not necessarily the final sculpt...'

If You'd entertain some suggestions...About the Roc? and the Rocks holding him?

 

It would be really nice if the bird was a separate piece from the supporting terrain. Somehow. (And I realize that could be a big ask from an engineering perspective.) 

 

But I would like to be able to customize it with a big flight stand. It looks like it is attached to the terrain at the tail in the render. Not asking for extra parts as an option,  it would just be nice if the bird could detach. 

 

The big stones need more fine texture (and I won't be surprised if I am told that is already planned).

Good morning!  Always love to see a Kickstarter email when I wake up.

Paint that orc you say

But all I got to say to you is time and time again I say, "no!"
No! No, no, no, no, no!
Tell me not to pray
Well, all I got to say to when you tell me not to pray I say, "no!"
No! No, no, no, no, no!
So, if you ask me what I'm praying for this KS
There's only one thing I can say to you

 

I want a roc! (Roc!)
I want a roc! (Roc!)
I want a roc! (Roc!)

I want a roc! (Roc!)

 

There's a feelin' that
I get from nothin' else and there ain't nothin' in the world that makes me go!
Go! Go, go, go, go, go!
Turn the pledging up
I've waited for so long so I could see my favorite sculpt so, let's go!
Go! Go, go, go, go, go!
When it's like this I feel the fire shootin' through me
There's nothin' else that I would rather paint

 

I want a roc! (Roc!)
I want a roc! (Roc!)
I want a roc! (Roc!)

I want a roc! (Roc!)

Le sigh. I made the mistake of asking a question on the KS comments about some stuff in the live stream. When I tried to go back and find it I couldn't. And now I can't even remember what the questions were

I agree this would be very desirable.

I don't know who Paula Patton is so my brain autocorrected to Paula Poundstone and that left me very, very confused both about Ron's hint and why Paula Poundstone would be starring in the Warcraft movie.
