Ork boy

Hello all, I am posting this picture as I am new to this site and a hella noob when it comes to these forum things. I’m trying to work out how it all works (I’m about as old school as it gets and not too computer savvy). Oh I’m sure your going to look at this pic and be like “your a hella noob at painting too bro” which is a fair call. So I hadn’t painted a mini for like 10/15 years or so and came across my old collection in a box in my shed. I figured I might paint one for old times sake, and painted furiously for a day and a half (full rush mode to get it finished). So this is the end result, not too bad I suppose, table top quality at best, but nothing to the standard of work I have seen you guys post on here. Despite the average mini, this project has re-kindled my love of the hobby and I have been painting like a maniac ever since. I am currently working on another ork boy (as well as many other minis) which will be a bit better looking than this one, I hope ;) I guess I’m doing a bit of a comparison thing? I’ll post a picture of it once it’s finished so keep an eye out for it... Anyways thanks for having a look and feel free to slay the living hell out of my work, I don’t mind a bit of constructive criticism.

Really nice! What I look for in miniatures are if the basic principals of highlighting and shading are present. You've got that process mastered no problem, this mini. would def. "pop" at tabletop height. The pants are shaded with contrast, the skin is shaded with contrast, and both have visible highlights. Looks like an actual tiny orc soldier and not merely a model that's been painted with base colors. I also was away from the hobby for a good number of years before I recently got back into painting again so I can totally relate to your situation! For being away for as long as you were, this is an awesome level of painting to achieve for just getting back into it!

Oh and yeah green man, I actually coated it in automotive clear coat (don’t ask me why) which made it shiny as hell, it did look a little bit better before the coat too, at least now my kids can play with it and not rub the paint off :)
