This isn't actually an attempt at a 'Krork' or whatever, it's just that I wanted to paint a green Kroot - a sort of camouflage for in jungle terrain, rather than the grey-green that 'Eavy Metal tends to paint Kroot.

The WIP shots are all here...

I'd love some C&C.

That's just a green skinned kroot.


That's what I was expecting too. I feel like Kroot head, Ork body, Kroot rifle would look fantastic. Oh well. The model looks really good either way. I would love to know your technique for the green skin.

Indeed it is very well painted and many could use a tutorial as to how.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/392308/3237206.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/392308/3237206.page GMT Re:When a Kroot eats an Ork, you get...Feedback please! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/392308/3237317.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/392308/3237317.page GMT Re:When a Kroot eats an Ork, you get...Feedback please!
I've added something to the OP in response to the 'it's just a green Kroot' posts. It was never my intention to create a 'Krork', but just to try out blending techniques on skin and, for whatever reason, I chose green.

I can't recall exactly how I painted the green (or any other part of the model), as I didn't sit down and think it through - I just thought 'it needs more...' or 'let's try...', and this is what came up. But here is roughly how I did it...

Green Skin

1) Goblin Green, built up over two thin coats. This was originally going to be the colour from which I blended up from.
2) Finding Goblin Green to be WAY too bright, I washed the whole model with a darkened, thinned Asurmen Blue. This helps pull the model away from being just green.
3) Using a mix of Goblin Green, Ultramarines Blue and Chaos Black, I blended up over the course of about eight coats, gradually dropping the Ultramarines Blue and Chaos Black.
4) After so many coats, the blending reaches pure Goblin Green again. After one or two thin coats of this, I started adding Bleached Bone to the mix for the highlights. I deliberately avoided the 'edge-highlighting' that 'Eavy Metal seems to use on flesh these days, focusing instead on the raised areas - something more akin to Zenithal Ligthing.
5) A final highlight of roughly 2:1 Goblin Green to Bleached Bone was applied around the face.
6) To add a bit of life to the skin, I washed the model with two thin coats of a mix of Baal Red, Ultramarines Blue and Chaos Black. I can't remember the ratios, but it had more Baal Red in it than Ultramarines Blue, and roughly equal blue 'n' black.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/392308/3240292.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/392308/3240292.page GMT When a Kroot eats an Ork, you get...Feedback please! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/392308/3240518.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/392308/3240518.page GMT When a Kroot eats an Ork, you get...Feedback please! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/392308/3241075.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/392308/3241075.page GMT When a Kroot eats an Ork, you get...Feedback please!
The painting's great; I agree with the others suggesting a more ambitious Ork-y conversion. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/392308/3241286.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/392308/3241286.page GMT When a Kroot eats an Ork, you get...Feedback please! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/392308/3241390.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/392308/3241390.page GMT Re:When a Kroot eats an Ork, you get...Feedback please!
