... I keep looking at it and thinking I can do better. Here's another version with adjusted lighting, ear posing, etc.

Using Liard's Blood Elf model & Kipler's Orc.

Rendered in Blender (Cycles).

Initially published a version of this yesterday but the lighting was very rough. Tri-Lighting addon to the rescue

Blood elf is Liard's model.

Orc is Kipler's model
