Gosh this art is amazing! I love the texture on the cloth, and those magic swirls and magic sparks are just brilliant! I love the redesign of his robe, it's like, the best of both series, and the water and rocks are both amazingly done and his wand/staff looks like actual medal and I just

It's so good!

Also you managed to put into words just why Orko's one of my favourite characters? Like I just-

Just imagine a powerful sorcerer getting transported to another world where the magic system and a lot of the physics and rules are completely opposite so he has to basically relearn magic in a place where nothing works the way he expects it to and while he's trying to figure all this out he's not only underestimated but openly belittled by people around him for not knowing how this messed up magic system works and is this character developed in any way? No. He's the comic relief and I can't stop thinking about all the story potential that was missed by not exploring any of this

Uh, sorry about that. I just really like Orko

(also this has made me wanna finally finish and post that Orko drawing I've been working on, so thanks for that)

Presenting: Orko, AKA that character who so flawlessly resembles the embodiment of wasted potential. 

A big round of applause for the guy! I’m sure he’d approve, get overconfident, bump into something and instigate the main conflict of the plot. 

I really do love the concept of Orko as a character. His history - though inconsistent and largely ignored by way of continuity - is really very fascinating and well-developed. How the character himself is portrayed… well. Can’t all be winners. There’s such a massive disconnect between what we see on screen and what we’re told about him that he ends up coming off as just… really annoyingly incompetent.

Anyway enjoy the pic. I worked for hours please appease my aching hands with nice comments. Or critiques. Or scathing criticisms. Whatever fluffs your pillow.
