Hello everyone,

I painted one of the Orcs from the recent Greenskin Wars kickstarter over the weekend. I wanted to paint him with more natural skin tones than the Orc I posted in the painting party. I also tried to be a bit more painterly, not fussing too much over smoothness.

edit:

Adding this "family photo" to the opening post

That's superb! The contrast between the pale, greenish skin and the dark armour and base works really well.

Whoah!

That’s just plain gorgeous. I’d love to see more!

Both skin- and metal tones are gorgeous and the overall effect is simply perfect.

I especially love the pale skin with all the subtle color variations; great work!

Wow, that's really a fantastic looking orc. Love the effects on the armour and weapon.

You've achieved very nice effects with the metals and flesh. Great figure, too.

Many thanks all.

I started another Orc from the same set today. My aim was to finish him in one sitting, took roughly 6½ hours. Some areas are a bit rough and he's obviously lacking a base but I felt he's good enough to post.

Cool figure, i like his face. Terrific brushwork.

Another - ahem - beauty!

The face is very reminiscent of Kev Adam's very first range of Citadel Orcs - and the paintwork brings it out tremendously.

Hot damn, what amazing skin tones!

Agree - love the skin tones and his eyes.

when you say painterly you're not kidding.
that second face is so frazetta - ish. Fantastic.

it would be nice to see these showing at something closer to their real size as well as the close-ups.

That's beautiful. Is the texture in the face all painted on?
