It has been a long time! But despite everything, I manage to keep painting, and I keep coming back.
I should have a little more time now and in the next months I’m going to focus on Orc & Goblin characters, and a few Rackham Wolfen.
I’ve begun working on this orc warlord on foot – the old Grimgor, with a simple headswap from, if I’m not mistaken, the old orc warlord on boar.
Everything needs more work, but so far I’ve sketched in more or less all the colours and started on the skin and the armour.
As you can see I’m trying a black – petrol blue – turquoise and light grey NMM. Still a lot of contrast to push, but I’m happy so far.
The axe will be a bit of a headache, I’m afraid, as I don’t have a clear idea of where to put NMM highlights on an axe, especially when held more or less parallel to the ground… Also, I can’t really make it the same as the armour, but I still have to find a matching colour scheme for it.
Anyway, I’m happy about the project and I hope I’ll be sharing more greenskins soon enough.
Beautiful work on the shading, Carlos – and great to see you posting again! 🙂
Thanks! It’s good to be back 🙂
Looking good
Thank you!
