(the flash and non flash both show good bits of the banner, but I couldn't get a good shot of the whole thing)

He's the second in command for my orcs and goblins army, raising his banner to strike fear into any high elves, warning them of Mork's vengance!

I'm prety pleased with him, maybe a little longer could have been spent on the armour, but the banner turned out many times better than I expected it to, and as the focal point that makes up for it.

EDIT: the pants and skin have been given a few washes since to make the highlights a bit less visible since the pictures where taken

EDIT2: infact, these pictures are prety poor. I'll get some new ones tommorow

those are some very vibrant reds!

good greative stuffon the banner. the orc looks a bit dull in comparison (but not a bad thing)  i think the base needs to be bright to help the rest of the mini settle behind the banner.

The freehands pretty good on that banner.

If you managed to continue to work on highlights with thinning the paint, you could really turn out some top work.

Hes going to look great for you army.

:clap2:

Yep you have a good sense for color. Thinning you paints will help you get a more even coat and also with getting shades you want to pull off. Nice work with the freehand.

The skull sort of looks like Squigs avatar
