This is my first time painting an Ork.

Pretty good for a first time. I reckon some brown/black Citadel washes around the edges of each colour area (and right over the KFF and tools) would bring out the colours nicely.

Nice job on the eyes.

Thanks

pretty cool

I actually really like it. It reminds me of the old second editions orks a bit.

Good times, good times!

i (in my wierd way of thinking like a ork...) think that the eyes are nice but a bit un orky, since orks often are painted in reds for the eyes.

nice for a first and clang you are right the washes would make it really nice.

keep it up!

i'd really like to se some more of your orks if you start a army or if you have one!

I use Devlin Mud for my washes. I wash all my orks. I mean, do you really think an orc bathes? hell no, they don't kill the enemy with there really OP weapons, they kill them with there stinkyness. HAHA! Watch for a post in this thread with a pic or 2 of my Shokk Attack Gun orc. Hope this helps you with your choice about what washes to use!

QFT - How on earth did you get the dot that small? All my attempts end up terribly.

+1 for the washes suggestion, but its looking really nice already.

I did do the wash on the weapons and it turned out good. The new GW washes work very good. For the eye I just use a very small brush. Thanks for all the nice comments.

orks are definately going to be my next army

I like the colors a lot, ill also second the old school feel which for orks is definitely a compliment

I am going to be adding pictures of my warboss sometime to night.

I'd give the whole figure a Badab Black/Paynes Grey wash. It would darken the fig a bit, but would add some very nice definition
