Finally, after an extra week of time, here are the first three orcs from the Black Orc team to continue the challenge.
I have had lots of fun painting them and for the first time in a long time I have tried new techniques! After over 25 years painting I realized the other day that I learnt most of what I know in the first five years and since then I am just using them over and over... so it was about time I learnt and tried something new!
For these guys I decided to try painting the armour using the stippling technique as shown here and for both the metals and the skin I tried glazes and wet blending. In particular, for the skin I used this video from the great josedavinci as a base.
I am particularly happy about how the metals turned out, although to be honest the photos I managed to take are really bad, even though I started to use Lightroom and Photoshop to try and improve them... I still did not see much improvement.
The colour scheme is based on the Berlin Rebels from the GFL, so that they can play against the Potsdam Royals, which is a suitable team to base my Nobility on!
The team colours are white and grey so not too much to pick from when painting them! Still, I think they look ok, after the extra weathering I applied, without it they were looking quite bland.
The skin looks kind of ok, but still lots of room for improvement.
Painted in 2021
