I've been trying to think how to make orcs feel more different than just big goblins-- which technically they were originally interchangeable in Tolkien, but I want to make them very different... so with having Fizee being established with green skin, I moved Gore to greys... but the hair and pointed ears were still there. They're going to have smaller ears still, but I'm thinking of having them be hairless.

In the Hobbit, he used the words interchangeably. That's what I was referring to... pre-codification of the species.

I like the switch to grey, but the braids gave her personality. Plus, I think having clean, styled hair gives an air of...sophistication?...versus the trope of, "hey we love being dirty, grimy, and mud-caked., cuz we're orks!" Plus, braids give a warrior-vibe when done right. Finally, bald makes me think feral zombie. Just my $0.02.
