Good hunting!

---

This started as a 100x100 avatar originally. I couldn't stop myself from making it into a proper-sized portrait/bust though. :)

I didn't want to do a simple hard cut for the lower part of his torso, so I made it look like torn leather.

Just discovered this art, and i very like it.   "Orkses is never defeated in battle. If we win we win, if we die we die fighting so it don't count. If we runs for it we don't die neither, cos we can come back for annuver go, see"

All we want is more dakka, hehe.

Thank you very much. :)

Love the texturing on this one. Orc Gunner...has a certain ring to it wouldn't you say.

@ Mr_Hk

Thank you very much.

I really like your big mock-ups btw. ;)

@ Zizka

Damn, that's awesome! I'm super excited that my art/style becomes more and more recognizable, and I hope to develope this even more.

Thanks!

@ tship

Thanks!

I wanted the area around his eyes to be as bright as possible without sacrificing contrast. I see what you mean though.


user
Mr_Hk_ (Level 6 Hitman) @ 2/20/2015 07:27

Great pictural touch.


user
Zizka (Level 10 Deep Blue) @ 2/20/2015 07:03

You've achieved your own style, major props. When I saw the preview, I thought ''That's Mandrill''.


user
tship (Level 1 Thug) @ 2/19/2015 20:53

Awesome, super clean pixeling. The light on the face looks a little too bright to me.


user
Mandrill (Level 9 T-rex) @ 2/19/2015 08:00

Thank you very much. :)


user
hostile (Level 5 Sniper) @ 2/18/2015 10:56

This is really really good


user
Mandrill (Level 9 T-rex) @ 2/17/2015 17:03

A very nice edit, thanks.

Yep, there is a very hard cut between the light cyan and the highly saturated yellow. I still think it's acceptable though. :) Adding another green to the ramp and smoothing out some parts of his skin right under the nose might do the trick.


user
_32_ (Level 3 Private Eye) @ 2/17/2015 16:52

If I look at it sideways I can see the intended shape and I think it's an awesome design, the really big mouth/ jaw. Just something about the bright colours ending right where a beard would start on a normally proportioned face tricked me. Anyway I made a quick edit, I don't think this is the solution cause I really like the light being focussed around his eyes but just to illustrate my point.

Mandrill (Level 9 T-rex) @ 2/17/2015 16:49

@ Friend

Thanks a ton!

I have to agree, the bottom part looks rather rough. The leather colours are not the that good for AA in relation to the beige-coloured backround. Still that was the best I could do without pushing the palette above 20. ;)

@ Cels

Blushing

That's the biggest compliment an artist can wish for. Thank you very much, buddy! I always anticipate your critique, especially when I do a Warhammer piece.


user
Mandrill (Level 9 T-rex) @ 2/17/2015 16:38

@ 32

Thanks!

It is extremely interesting that you see it this way. Thinking about it, I get your point.

I've grown so accustomed to Warhammer orks and the way Paul Bonner paints them that I really can't (and want) draw them in any other way.

@ Theoden

Thank you, man! Glad to hear that from a Warhammer fan. :)


user
Friend (Level 3 Hatchikyu) @ 2/17/2015 11:35

wowzees, what a good display of your style.  id agree, this is serious wall poster quality.  only thing im not entirely sold on is the AA at the bottom.  maybe it's a tad too conspicuous


user
CELS (Level 7 Lotus) @ 2/17/2015 06:15

This is sublime. By far the artsiest and most interesting ork portrait I've ever seen. I could see this hanging in my living room :)


user
_32_ (Level 3 Private Eye) @ 2/17/2015 03:39

I absolutely love this but every time I've looked at it I've thought he was a guy with a beard and I guess just skipped over the lips and teeth unconciously labeling them as "part of the costume or whatever." Even knowing it's his mouth I'm finding it really hard to see it that way, the texture just looks really beardy. Might help to bring some of the lighter colours into his upper lip area. Regardless, lovely texturing and beautiful colours.

@ Maxaun

Thank you.

I pixelled the rifle with less details to give the eyes a resting point. Still, I needed something to tell a story.


user
RebeaLeion (Level 3 Private Eye) @ 2/15/2015 03:54

this is great!

Love the intensity of the greens/reds against the browns.

Your textures are incredible.


user
Muxaun (Level 4 Deputy) @ 2/14/2015 13:20
excellent job with the fabric.

the rifle looks too smooth though. It feels like the rifle was taken from another, less detailed, piece.
