Orcs and Goblins: Old School Nouveau style

[Nicklas P]

Thanks man! I've used the same technique before for rust and verdigris and realized that the same technique could be used to represent other effects as well.

Beautiful painting - top notch

Damn, they’re good, love the skin variation.

Thanks guys!

I've painted up a goblin from Knightmare Miniatures. I decided to experiment a little with the skin by using more realistic flesh tones. Really gives him an uncanny look I think! As always, moss is moss pads from MiniNatur. Mushrooms were sculpted with putty and wire.

[Hobgoblin]

He's great! And yes, the realistic skin tone makes him look much more like something out of an eerie folktale than a bright green ever could.

[Cubs]

Marvellous!

[OSHIROmodels]

That's a corker

Simply stunning, from the 5 o'clock shadow to the nose 👍

That is an amazing paint job! 

[Swordisdrawn]

Wow!

[blacksoilbill]

Those skin tones are superb!

Painting a gobbo with Bronzed Flesh was always a good way to make a quick creepy chaos creature, but you have elevated it to artistic heights of horrific proportion. Thanks for the nightmares!

These are fantastic! I knew I've seen some of those before - turns out I've been following you on insta for a while now 

I will echo the general consensus - I really like the realistic skin colours. I think it makes the goblins seem more creepy, like some sort of twisted "uncanny valley" effect.

i also love that moss, better get some

Thanks guys  : )

My growing tribe of pale skinned orcs and goblins. I'm really enjoying this way of painting them. Closeups on my instagram feed.
