'BFG' from AnthonyO: Da Ork Nob

When thinking about big guns it is hard to go past an Ork, the bigger the better because size has a direct correlation to noise and noise is directly related to effectiveness, or something like that.


 

For this challenge I did not have anything prepared and it took a dive into the bits box to bring this Nob together. Although it is not a large or impressive miniature I thought I would try my best to make him look good.



Going back to old school painting styles I did not use any washes on the skin and tried to blend it up through about 7 layers. I even tried for the first time to give a hot barrel effect to the muzzle of the flamer using a bit of sponge.





Well here he is, angry, excited and eager for a fight.

  5. Very Orky looking, I like him a lot, especially the strong contrast on the skin and the chipped up worn armour. Good work.

  6. Oh yeah! As others have noted, the contrast on the skin tones is tremendous. Looks wonderful, very much in character. Great work.
