Hello Guys and Gals

Welcome to my commission blog! I've just been comissioned for the first time, and a package with ten Orks in it has just arrived.....

The customer has allowed me to choose a sheme, and I have painted a test model. Here it is:


If he likes it, I'll start painting the other ten (and post WIP pics here...)

If you're interested in what I usually do, here is a link to my main blog:

Looks fantastic!

Great to hear you like him! I'll start painting as soon as I'm home again on monday!

I like!

Also subscribing, can't wait to see more

Wow! If I had plenty of money, patience and wish to create an ork army, your're the one I'd come to.
Shame I have none of these, really.

Sorry for the very late update, things were very busy around here....

I finished the five boys and started working on the nobs.

Here there are (noticed some minor flaws after uploading them, will be fixed now)

I didn't bother to take photos in the studio (parents are professional photographers ) because that's quite a lot of work......

Ha, thanks! But If you know anyone who has money, patience and the wish to create an ork army, tell him about this german guy here on dakka

They look clean but dirty, i love the green you are using for the skin. Its not to bright or dark. They look really good. Can't wait to see more from you.

Lookin' goood
I'm partial to darker orks myself, but these are painted very well
I like the detail on the mouth, the blue is nifty

Nice looking Orks, they will definitely make the customer happy. I like the muted browns you've used on the clothes.

Looking great! I like the whitish skin highlight

Very nice indeed, and quite lucky to have parents that are professional photographers when this is your hobby. Anyway keep up the good work

*No update, sorry, just anwering replys.....*

Thanks for all the kind replys, guys! They are encouraging!
Right now I'm working hard on the five nobs. I had the idea of painting the whole army as deff skullz, with muted, brownish blues on the armor. (the five boys without the blue components will fit alright anyway I guess....)The customer liked the idea, so it's being done!

Haha, so true! It's great to have the most awesome camera equippment lying around, and someone who's more than glad to show you how to use it!

Digging da boyz.

I may have to swing around and steal them while I am in Germany

Haha thanks! Where in Germany are you btw? I'm near Mainz, but only for a few more days, as I'll be traveling around GB for the next 4-8 weeks

Looking good Mer.

We are in Berchtesgaden for another day, then going to Salzberg for a couple days, then Munich, Berlin, and Rothenberg. Mostly just doing tours (mostly of beir) and museums.

They look great. I love the blue!

UPDATE!

I'm done. The models look really nice (yeah, I'm biased....)

Pics:
The deffkopta:


and the nobs (they look a bit different irl)


So... what do you guys think?

yeah looks really nice, but what about the other 2 kopters and the rest of the boys?

I didn't get the two other koptas and the rest of the boys. that was the complete first load......

Fair enough, and first load..... ?

I really like them, the blood on the weapons is really nice. The blue is a nice shade.

Im really impressed with the whole job. Thanks. The checkers are fantastic!

Real nice Mr Merlin, the deffkopta's faded checks look great (well it all looks great, but I especially like that bit).

D

I love those orks. Great job!

wow, thanks for the kind words guys! The pale checks were a blast to paint (I love it when something goes quickly AND looks good )

And @zariart: Again, its great to hear you like them!

how does get you to paint models in his name?
