Rusted Boltgun Posted Saturday at 02:43 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 02:43 PM (edited) Went a shade lighter, adding more bright green - maybe 2:1,?! I was wary of having distinct blobs of the lighter shade on the muscles but I'm quite pleased how it is developing. I think that is enough though, the shade will be the next step. I saw something recently (snippet from the Siege Studio podcast, I think) where someone said if you're afraid of the outcome, you'll end up painting less. So I guess it is time to feel the fear and do it anyway!

So I guess it is time to feel the fear and do it anyway! That’s the spirit. Good luck! I think it looks good so far, so I don’t think there’s any real cause for concern but that’s easy for me to say Rusted Boltgun and Firedrake Cordova 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/374110-rusted-boltguns-wip/page/14/#findComment-6124400 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusted Boltgun Posted Saturday at 04:00 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 04:00 PM Well, the contrast wash didn't work out the way I had hoped. Maybe I needed way more contrast medium but having got it on, the Ork Flesh looked too blue in the recesses. So I opted for a traditional Biel Tan Green wash for the remaining miniatures. A poor photo to demonstrate (the sun has come out again!)

Antarius Posted Saturday at 04:54 PM Share Posted Saturday at 04:54 PM Assuming the photo shows the colours more or less right, I think it looks like a good "natural" skintone. The Orks I've painted have been a bit more on the cartoony side, but if you're going for a more realistic/grim approach, I think it looks quite nice.

Rusted Boltgun Posted Saturday at 05:53 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 05:53 PM Thanks @Antarius, I am pleased with the skin, I think it works for the Goffs and the planned colour and check additions, as well as some Ushabti Bone on the bases, will lift the overall scheme from being too dark and grimy. The metals ended up looking a lot greasier than I expected and definitely need a lift. Hope to report on more progress soon!

Brother Christopher Posted yesterday at 10:25 AM Share Posted yesterday at 10:25 AM I also think that the skin is great, particularly on the grenade-tossing ork.. If you highlight some bits at a later stage, the result should be stunning. I also very much like the texture on the pistol. I'm not sure how intended the result is, but the pistol casing has a nice, worn look with some clearly visible 'scratches.'
