Digital drawing of an orcish man shown from the ribcage up. He has green skin, a hairy chest, pointy ears and a nose that looks perpetually scrunched up. The drawing shows off that his shoulders sit lower than the upper end of his sternum, and so his collarbones angle downwards instead of up. The section of the trapeze muscle that connects the neck to the shoulder is longer and steeper than found in humans. In the upper right corner of the drawing is a human silhouette contrasted with the silhouette of the orcish man. The orcish man is roughly a head taller than the human man.
Digital drawing of an orcish skeleton next to the silhouette of a human skeleton. Dark lines indicate the main differences: the orcish skeleton has a different set of teeth. It also has a longer neck, with two vestigial ribs above the sternum. Its legs from the head of the femur to the foot are as long as its hip, torso and head together. its arms are longer than that of the human skeleton, and almost reach to its knees.
Some more orcs. I wanted to make a template for orcish bodies that'd allow them to be distinguishable from human bodies, but without limiting myself to one body type. So here are the key differences between orcs & humans
