the Model its self, reminds me More of the Baby Alien at the end of Alien Ressurection, then it does an Orc...
though, it does have potential

Looks to me almost like E.T., but still way better than I could do. Keep on keeping on!

Yeah looks like ET. Just clean up the mesh around the mouth, and I think you'll be fine.

I think the reason it doesn't remind people of an orc is because lots of folk (including myself) have a stereotypical image of an orc as looking like a Warcraft orc (big jaw, tusks, big and muscular), but I like seeing something different once in a while, so I like it...

I think that if the forheads was a little longer and the top of the head wasn't so flat that that would help. Also once you get some hair on his head that will help with the look as well.

I'd suggest moving the nose down a bit... I don't know why, but to me it looks like something's wrong when it all the way up between the eyes...

Heres how far I got...
