⚔️ Lore Context & Painting Philosophy
The Uruk-hai of Isengard are among the most iconic villains in Tolkien's legendarium — brutal, disciplined, and born from foul sorcery. Engineered by Saruman to surpass Orcs in strength, stature, and resilience, they first emerge en masse during the siege of Helm’s Deep, clad in grim iron and bearing the White Hand of their master.
Visually, Uruk-hai blend crude industry with brutal efficiency: patchwork steel plate, dark chainmail, and filthy leather wrappings over corrupted flesh. Their aesthetic is intentionally unrefined — everything about their design screams mass-produced cruelty.
