Thanks everyone.
Definitely looks better now I'll update later

Monitor I was using sucks for colour (too bright/washed out) so thx for the suggestion wolfie it looks way better.
Some of the colours were recycled from other sprites in the project but they don't fit as well as ur choices like warmer bone colour.
I also like ur more naturally orcy physique very cool

QUICK UPDATE:

ripped of some of wolfie's great ideas.
wow this monitor sucks i need to change lol.
UPDATE:

i think im done with this for now.
thx again for the ideas wolfie

if i get around to animating i'll post.
