It ain't easy being green


This classic Reaper Miniatures troll is the figure for the "Painting orc and goblin flesh" video.

It had a nice variety of surfaces, and gave me the opportunity to do what I needed in order to show how to get a better variety of skin tones.


My goal is to help people get beyond green, followed by brown wash. :-)  With a little bit of color temperature shifts, you can get a wide range of colors, making your greenskins more intersting... be they grots or nobs!


I had fun painting this guy, and I am pretty sure you will too!

    1. Many thanks! I don't get to paint fun little orcs as much as I would like!

  2. As someone who falls not far past "green followed by brown wash", I'm definitely looking forward to learning how to liven it up. The troll looks great!

    1. At least I will get to paint some orks to put on my display board as foils for the Sisters and IG army for 2014!!
