Thanks Digg's, Mally, WGS and Kbear
@BAM I Love your Orc's dude, so characterful so it's great to know I'm on the right track
@Arch Thank you. This is my first attempt at Orc skin, as I say I really want to take myself out of my comfort zone this year. Try loads of new styles, techniques and subjects and not really worry if it's successful or not. Everything is a learning experience, get yourself a nice mini and go to town. You'll be amazed what it does for your confidence.
@Gino2dope thanks man but i really cant take the credit. This little guy is absolutely packed full of detail. Honestly one of the nicest mini's I have every seen
@ Ter thanks dude. You really should and with your eye and hand for detail work I bet it would be stunning. I know you like dragons so i'm wondering if you saw the one by Karol Rudyk? bloody amazing!
@ Saint yep I was in for a couple hundred quid in the end and they are worth every penny. Not sure about when they will go on sale although I did hear that they where going to a few of the big meets this year, I have no idea which ones though
Ok here's where I've got to tonight with the face. Adding purple to the shadow area, highlighted the reds and painted in some of the details. Pretty happy so far although the purple needs toning down and integrating a little more
