These lovely old Half Orcs are a recent infatuation for me - I never really liked them as a kid because they weren't 'monstery' enough for one thing, and they didn't really have anything in their stats or rules to make them stand out.
Do you have the 'mounted and foot' half-orc hero?
your style / colour-palette / whatever it is, is so distinctive and one of my favourites, like a top-class fine-art illustration as a 3d figure.the chiasroscuro (well done me if I've spelt that right) is just what I'd aspire to if I thought I could possibly acheive it - which I don't.
I did a double-take on that one with the mace and checked shield, as he's so close to the pinker version you did a couple of years back.
Shit, I had to Google it! Posh word for light-dark shading innit?Thanks, I've been really trying to concentrate on getting a good depth of shade onto models lately and putting the colours into the areas I think the light would hit. It sounds obvious, but I think we (and by that, I mean I) all too easily will simply apply the colour layers by rote onto the more raised edges - the more raised the edge, the lighter the highlight it gets. But light doesn't always work like that. Sometimes a part will catch the light much more than another part which is higher up. There's a lot of guesswork and rubbing of chin really.
