Painting Challenge 2020: Green skins

When I dug out the camera, yesterday (taking pictures of the Vikings) I noticed a few 'forgotten' painted miniatures hidden on the memory card. Finished when I got back from my Christmas/New Year's holiday in LΓΈkken, so these to test pieces of doing green skin tones are actually first finished miniatures of 2020.

First one is a fan piece made of a friend of mine. A 2014 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-movie Leonardo. Not a bright cartoon green character but a much more plausible looking humanoid Turtle. Tried to recreate the tone, but did struggle quit a bit ...πŸ˜•

Leonardo






Yes, Splinter is actually in the sewers :)
Second test piece was planed for Orc-tober, but never got round doing him....  - but  hey, he made it for Janu-Waaagh!-ry πŸ˜€

This one's painted in classic fantasy green. I don't really like that kind of Orcs, but it was a fun little project.


Twisted Tales: Orc with Hammer





Last one here has a long service record. It's an old  John Pickford piece. Originally released as part of the old Sjoerd Trouwee project "Twisted Tales". He then did service with Hasslefree Miniatures, but now he's doing service with Shortwars πŸ˜Š -  and I should definitely dig out the last two in these small range of Pickford Orcs and paint them 😜

  1. Nice work on these. I really like the muted tones on the turtle - he's gone from cartoon character to a credible fantasy turtle-man race :)

  2. That turtle is pretty sweet. I've been reading the USagi Yojimbo/TMNT crossovers and have an idea for my next Chaos Dwarf cav unit. ;) Might need to M and talk to you about that.

  3. Lovely leo, great little rat detail :) one of the few non chaos dwarf sculpts i did in my life :)
    That clubber orc from mr. Pickford is also great, was the first one i painted of the set probably around 15 years ago!
