A slowly growing Waaagh!

To my eye, the out of focus orc in the forground suggests movement. I think it a good photo of some wonderful figures.

Definitely VERY kind from you

I call the left side of the neck and belly ALMOST done; the hard part will be replicating the same tones and textures on the right one.
I think the green will extend a bit further down, but it will be subtle. And I plan to add a bit of green to the feet, as well.

take your time, its going beautifully and you don't want to rush it.

 

[Fimm McCool]

Whoowee.

 

[twisted moon]

such attention to detail.

 

[Tex]

All of you should know, by now, that I'm the slowest painter and most poring w.i.p.per out there, am I right...?
I've changed my mine about the skin texture and decided to smoothen it out, adding an additional putty skin around the beast's neck.
I think it's now visually more pleasing to the eye and not so detail-heavy as before.

Liked it before, like it now, both versions look very good Great color gradients. How did you do all the tiny dots?

Thanks: my aim was to limit the visual "complexity" of the skin I was getting...the colour in the crevices was a bit too dark for the skin to look organic imho.
I did very controlled splashes from a half-loaded old brush; I then used yellow/beige glazes from below in a regular pattern to create some vertical textures (barely visible in the pics).

Very controlled indeed

Indeed. Excellent spattering. It's worth the wait for every update!

Oh my... that´s just gorgeous!

Not worth the time spent working on it, though

Really like the change to the skin definitely adds something and helps with the colour change from the green to the flesh tones.

Holy Carp!!

 

[Fimm McCool]

Holy Carp!!

Right?!

 

[Eric]

Lovely colour and texture.

 

[twisted moon]

strangest looking carp i've ever seen.

 

[Tex]

Feeling quite ashamed for letting pass 1.5 years since the last update, but here it is, at last!
It took MUCH more time than I thought would have been necessary, but handling it for painting has been particularly difficult...I'd better put much more effort at the planning stage for the next sculpt

No need for shame. I could spend a lifetime trying to hit that standard and get nowhere close.
