Pathfinder Battles: Ogre

The Ogre does what ogres can, 
 Deeds quite impossible for Man, 
 But one prize is beyond his reach: 
 The Ogre cannot master speech. 

 About a subjugated plain, 
 Among it's desperate and slain, 
 The Ogre stalks with hands on hips, 
 While drivel gushes from his lips.
 ― W.H. Auden

  1. Making fun of Ogres for their speech impediment, W.H. Auden? You'll be hearing from LOAD (league for Ogre Anti-Defamation).

    1. Agreed! Ogres have feelings, too!

  2. The Ogre's clenched left hand seems larger due to it being closer in the foreground. Reminds me of Jack Kirby's art style.

    1. I tried a few different lighting effects, camera angles and filters. Like you, I kind of dig the perspective on the fist.

    After a TPK, I still think drivel counts as having the last word.
