GrandMagnus Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I'm not sure I'm all for the non-green greenskin. BUT the skin tone is still well painted, as is the rest of the mini, so great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aothaine Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I tend to lean towards what GranMagnus stated. Greenskins need to be green imho. But the model is very impressive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calyptra Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I really like it. Often I think the way Ork skin is painted just isn't fleshy enough, whether green or otherwise. It's not that it looks alien, it's that it looks plastic, at least to me. I also really like how grounded in his environment he feels.

dchmp Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 i appreciate the feed back! I agree with you Calyptra that ork skin is often to "painted" in stead of flesh like, so thats why it went that way. Grandmagnus and Aothaine I've been thinking of doing the boyz a greenish color but haven't gotten it to work yet, any suggestions on how to?

Grandmagnus and Aothaine I've been thinking of doing the boyz a greenish color but haven't gotten it to work yet, any suggestions on how to? OK, I can definetly agree that orks usually look very cartonish with their skin colour, but I tend to atribute that to the fact that green skin tones is something we are not used to in the real world so making it look real is difficult. I have however seen some good attempts that make them look really realistic even with green skin, particular people who make the skin around the mouth/lips and nose look more pinkish or atleast paler. Here is an example (not mine!): Now this is obviously way above table top standard, but this is in my opinion an example of a very realistic looking skin tone for orks. So Id suggest using a, I guess, drab green base coat and highlighting with ligther bone colours like 'pallid wych felsh' or 'screaming skull'. Now I will admit I am NOT an expert in painting greenskins, but that would be my suggestion. Again I want to repeat that your paintjob is still great and I'm looking forward to seeing the boyz ;) Honda 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gideon stargreave Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Just chuck in some more green ink in teh recesses. It reads enough as green to me Interrogator Stobz 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchmp Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 The base coat over the brown primer is dark green, maybe a wash of that...we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I really like the idea of having a brownish orc, it's skin has changed to suit the environment. Deathworld forest, ogryn camp and nurgling green with bone colours added would make good base colours for a brownish green for your boys. Anyway great work on your model, love to see more of them when your ready!, Cheers, Mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
