Hi, I finally decided to finish this classic Brian Nelson sculpt. It\'s been sitting on my desk forever, but now into the cabinet it goes!

Hope you like it :)

Cheers, Anja

Really liking how you did the cloth robes. Looks really nice.

As does the skin tone.

Real nice piece Anja

Cheers guys. The lighting difference is due to my camera. Despite having plenty of pixels it has severe problems photographing miniatures...

The skin is painted with many diffrent green mixes, and glazes of other colours...not very helpful, I know, but I painted it that long ago I simply can\'t remember. Sorry...I\'m pretty sure there\'s some Knarlock Green in there, and probably a bit of Camo Green as well.

Wicked work. So many nice little details. The hint of color on the eyes for the staff carvings. The sword. Everything...

What a great model, too.

Great work! :) I like it very much and it just shows how great sculpt this is. The colours are very well selected and the execution is practically flawless with that great Eavy Metal crispness I like so much. What you could do to improve it imo is to work more tones into the Ork skin. A bit more purple on the lip for example and echoed in the areas around nose and eyes. perhaps on knuckles and such as well. It would contrast greatly with the yellowish highlights I think.

I was so pleased with my version of this that I finally painted this year until I saw this. Now I kow exactly how it should look. Excellent job on what I consider to be an excellent orc mini. I love the way you worked the skin and co-ordinated all the colours with the base so well too - great job :beer:

Cheers guys, I\'m glad you like it. I\'ve been staring at it (or rather, it\'s been staring at me) for so long I can\'t actually see it anymore, if you know what I mean.

I have used purple mixed with green as a shade, but it doesn\'t really show in the picture. I could probably have pushed it further though and used pure purple, maybe a dark red too.

And it\'s interesting with the comments about the \'eavy metal style, as I deliberately went for that sort of painting with clear colours and sharp highlights. My next figure will be different although I don\'t think I can stop myself from applying that last superfine highlight haha lol

The fig\'s insane Anja. One of my favourite all-time sculpts and the paintjob is just gorgeous. I love the warmth you\'ve got into it while keeping the neutral colour palette.

I looked at this for a few minutes on end, such is the nice loveliness of it all. I think it\'s a wonderful piece of work and I take my metaphorical hat off to you. :)

Erm, yeah, it\'s been a while since I sold anything on Ebay, but this one has to go.

Er, what? I haven\'t been on ebay for three years, forgive my newfound noobiness, but what do you mean? I thought you could always see who\'s the highest bidder? And thanks btw :)

they changed the system mate, even if you click the box to show bidders I.D\'s it still keeps them hidden now.

it\'s ebays attempt at protecting bidders from fraud but a i see it shill bidding will increase in a big way and there fore put off a lot of bidders.
