Clean colors, leather looks real nice. I feel like helmet's a bit flat.

I'm only slightly sad that the orc itself isn't purple.

A purple ork that's a idea I only named it purple because I did 3
Red, blue and purple in the same way but yer there is no reason why not.

Looks good so far, just throw some shade on that to make the details pop more.

Maybe you should try a little bit of oils on the metal areas. it is nice to see someone still collecting fantasy orks

Looks great! The clean application of colors helps the figure pop and almost gives it a cell-shaded animation look.

As others have suggested some washes would help bring some depth to the model. Particularly the clothing, skin and armor.

I'd also recommend changing the arrow fletching from green to some other color. Currently the fletching looks very close to the ork's skin tone which is a little confusing to the eye.

Looks very very neat and clean. Good job.
I suggest painting the basing material, or adding some grass to break up the colour.
At the moment the basing looks incidental to the figure.

That looks really good, nice and crisp! My only advice is to add a wash or two to the bones, and maybe paint the arrow feathers red. Otherwise it's great!

Thank you all for the kind words and comments all very helpful

That's a really oldschool color scheme and painting style, I really like it.

cheers

That looks like an orc from the 6th edition starter.

Not sure then it's from I got them from a friend I get most my stuff from eBay and Carboots because I am just getting back into the hobby I don't want to throw away cash at expensive models that I am not able to paint well.

Purple Ork...Pork?

Really though. Good stuff, the skin looks great, I might suggest that the purple could use more depth (washes and or highlights?). Certainly a solid mini though.

Pretty sure it is; I've got a few of those guys around here. They're pretty pleasant to paint, actually.
