Orc Shaman by Grivot

Description	:	My entry this month is other Games Workshop orc. I buy this in auction and I don't know your name, if someone know please help me. Head is highly conversed with Green Stuff and arms are repositioned for more expressive look. All paints is Citadel colours in several thin layers. Skin are made with Goblin Green base and then shaded with Ork Flesh, highlighted with Sunburst Yellow/Goblin Green and Sunburst Yellow and very diluted wash of Orc Flesh Wash. In tunic I used Crimson Gore base washed with Brown Wash and highlighted with sucessives layers of Crimson Gore/Blished Bone progressives light layers and new wash of diluted Terracota. For bracelets I choose bones colours and finaly varnish for brigh. The Base are build with Sculpey clay. All Criticism and feedback are welcome. Thanks! Joao Grivot

This orc Shaman was from A Warhammer quest expansion pack, I cannot recall his name, but I shall go through my back issues of white dwarf and try to find out for you. There was also a fantastic snotling called Bogoff who had stolen the lantern! This is very well painted, the skintones are great. IMHO I feel the red robes could benefit from more shading and highlights as they appear quite flat, although this may just be the picture. Cool base, and its great to see some classic pieces up. Cheers for sharing him

My favourite part of the paint job are the subtle pink blends around the lips, and the face in general. The painting of the headdress wings and those on the staff is also very fine. Both his skin and clothes would pop a little more with a bit more contrast of darker shadows and/or lighter highlights.

I too like the mouth. I think the cloth could use some highlights and the base needs some work. Still, nicely done.
