Painting a commission D&D half-orc barbarian

My first commission strictly based on a model picture the client provided.

Preamble

This is the model picture. I had to take some liberties as the miniature does not conform 100%, but it's pretty close - HeroForge can do that.

Painting

Prime Grey Seer. I experimented with the skin tone, but everything else is just applied painting tips. 

I base coated Dead Flesh, then washed Biel-Tan green. This provided the perfect light greenish tone.

I did the highlights in Pale Flesh (thanks Patrick for the idea!). Finally, I lined the shadows again with Biel-Tan Green for more contrast.

Note that I decided to take no Contrast-based shortcuts.

• Painting eyes then glaze over Lamenters Yellow for that feral look
• Medium leather
• Dark leather
• Cold white fur - soften the shadows by using diluted Basilicanum Grey
• Traditional metallic armor, but I used Agrax Earthshade on the armour plates for variation
• Shiny black hair and beard
• Bright flame to provide a point of interest on the miniature
• Dark wood

Basing

Woodland base.

Finished!
