I'm not entirely sure this is the right place to post this, so apologies if it isn't. I am currently starting a game playing a half-orc barbarian/ranger (looking towards Heroes of High Favor: Half Orcs' Dire Stalker PrC), and I'm looking for a piece of art to represent the character. Sadly, it seemd that either there isn't a lot of great half-orc art out there or I'm looking in the wrong places. If anybody has any suggestions on where to look, I'd be grateful. Thanks.

If you try the "Art" forum, you'll probably find someone there to draw you your own personalized character.
As for me, I always really liked Claudio Pozas' ½orcs...

I love his Krusk picture (the b&w one above). It really has... character, or something.

Could you describe the character a bit, to aid our search for fitting art?

OK, here's a description of the character:
Borik Bloodwatcher
Half-Orc Barbarian3/Ranger 2
Borik is 18 years old (equivalent to early 20s in a human),about 6 feet tall, around 200 pounds, and muscular (18 Strength), though not in an Arnold Schwarzenegger kind of way...more like Russell Crowe in Gladiator. He's not ugly, for a half-orc, but he's not necessarily attractive, either (Charisma 9). He has long hair, pulled back tightly in a braid or tail of some sort, and he has no other visible facial or body hair. He had a red lightning-bolt tattoo on the left side of his face that goes over his left eye, and other tattoos as well...possibly celtic, something with a stag motif as that is his totem. He is wearing a well-worn chain mail shirt, going for function over form,wears a shoulder-guard on his right shoulder, durable pants, and nice traveling boots with a fur lining(Boots of the Winterlands). He also wears an amulet, but any non-evil design works there. He has two weapons, a short bow and an orc double axe, both of which can be strapped to his back when he needs to be mobile. Other than those, he travels light, with only a sturdy belt pouch. His hands are rough, and his fingernails are filed almost into claws. While he is very strong, he also moves fairly gracefully(Dexterity 14) - he spends much of his non-adventuring time as a hunter and tracker, and has been toughened up by long, solitary exposure to freezing winds and quiet forests (Constitution 17). He is a cunning half-orc, for one of his profession (Wisdom 13), and enjoys making others think he is less intelligent than he really is (Intelligence 12). I think what I envision is having some celtic and Native American imagery, turning Borik into the 'noble savage', but more practical than noble. Sorry if this is confusing to anyone.
If anyone knows of a place where I can actually commission a portrait like this (for payment), please, let me know - and then I won't clog up the busy line of folks here.

Thank you all for the kind words!
My personal favorite half-orc so far is the barbarian/sorceror I played for a bit with the Fiery Dragon fellows, based on a counter first seen in Counter Collection 2 (he's the guy in the middle in this wallpaper .
I'm also very pleased with the half-orc egoist (psychometabolism psion) from Psionics Toolkit line-up .
For those of you who like the Krusk image, I will be posting some of the artwork from the West Wood Barony free pdf, including the one with the legendary half-orc paladin/monk Xiopho Sunmoon beating the heck out of human pretty-boy paladin Berratag...
