Hi guys this is my first thread but my first orc boy
Well it´s the first mini in a very very long time trying to get back in touch with my painting ones again.

Let me know what you think, tips, advice, I´ll take anything. I want to become a good painter.

Very simple, very Orky, very good.

I like the hazard/caution stripes and weathering on the chainsword.

Ork skin could do with some highlighting, but that's just me. Some people like their Ork skin bright green (in my case, so it stands out better on the tabletop), but theres more and more people liking more darker, subdued ork skin.

I feel orks look better with red or yellow eyes , all in all good paint job .

A bit of a wash with Badab black or Devlin miracle would make things look dirtier and therefore Orkier. Looks great though!

Good job. The only thing I'd improve is the red wristbands. They need either a highlight or a wash. Maybe both. Well, I like the overall quality of this model

The first pic looks so wrong lol

Yes i can agree with the skin it WAS lighter but unfortunely the was that i put on it was too thick and just darkend everything down too much. But you know, trail and error

Agreed

Agreed, they are somewhat move highlighted but the camera sort of just dulled it out but yes they need more of it

Schhhhh dont tell

The second, third, and fourth al look as if he sh@t a stikkbomb.

I agree with the wash comment that was made.

I love that Chainsword, especially the turquoisey rust/reaction you got going on.

I like the light coloured pants as people usually go dark but i think it could use some more shading. i think the badab black wash would help then some more highlights!


The stikk bomb tickled me...

First pic looks like that grenade is in a bad place. The red makes it look like it REALLY hurts...


Is this your first model, or your first Ork?
He looks good and the advice you've gotten already is sound advice. Practice that a bit and your Orks will jump from 'looks decent' to 'nice painting!' in no time.

Thanks m8
I think one of the problems might be that the transitions are a little bit too sudden so like you said the wash might fix that.
