So here's my latest painting efforts. First metal model since I got back into the whole WH lark and easily the longest I've spent painting anything so far.

What do you guys think? Constructive criticism is very much encouraged .

Thanks.

Thats pretty weird.

I'm torn, honestly. I like the idea of an albino weirdboy, but the mint green tinge and dark green shading makes him look more undead than discolored ork, to me.

I like it! Like some weird fugus growing in a grotto. And he still dont stick out to much from the usual green skin. well done

Honestly, I think if you're going for an albino Ork, you should straight up make him white. The mint green is kinda...mint green.

i like the concept, and the mind green skin seems ok
i just don't care for the extremely dark shading (i keep getting the mental image of playing with contrast settings in photoshop), and i think the largish eye would look better in a brighter color that had a bit more pop to it

Use rotting flesh if you want it greeny. He looks like a delicious mint.

Thanks for the comments guys. I know he does look a bit minty fresh, but I think it works well in contrast to normal boys. I'll get a few picsof him with others later.

Contrast and brightness were upped a bit in PS as original lighting wasn't fantastic. That said, there are heavy dark shaded areas on the arms.

I also did try a lighter coloured big eye, but the problem was it blended with the skin. Any suggestions to avoid this?

Thats a good point, he does kind of look undead. But it makes him very weird, good job!!! Itll be easy to spot on the battlefield, thats for sure.

turned out very nice if you! ask me.
