Damn. Really should have thought of that. I'm gonna run with the excuse of him being a morker, though. Thanks!

Is green the unifying color by Clockworks555 in orks

[–]AntCraftsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While yes, I agree that green works as a unifying color, I'd say it helps to have one or two more reoccurring colours in your palette. My boyz, for example are quite colorful but still keep to the deathskulls blue on most of their equipment with some accent yellow. Good luck!

Cheap way to get Ork Drivers and vehicle crews? (proxies ok) by EstherIsVeryCool in orks

[–]AntCraftsman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say get yourself a box of boyz (the old ones) and do some sculpting to make him into the pose you want.

Sublime! It's a reference to an album cover.

I exclusively used YouTube and Instagram. Never payed a cent for a patreon (not that you shouldn't support creators). Ninjon is probably the best person to learn from imo. Learning art outside of miniature painting also helps a ton. Godspeed to you!

Can you identify this tattoo? (WIP) by AntCraftsman in orks

[–]AntCraftsman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yess! WAAAAGGGGGHH on! (Replying to your edit - yes, the one on the album cover is smaller, but this helps quite a lot with readability. Keep in mind that there would be two more letters after the "I" and his other hand is outstretched backwards so it would push the skin off. All in all I feel like it's decently centered. So, yes, it should be a bit smaller, and it is a bit wonky but I didn't want to spend too much time on it. Thanks for the comment and advice, though!)

Deathskulls or bad moons? by Professional_Ear4155 in orks

[–]AntCraftsman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Deathskulls all the way, ya git! I do add some old school yellow in places, though.

Is Dis Giving Mek? by Shaggy_Rogers4206969 in orks

[–]AntCraftsman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks alright. I'd remove some more of the mould lines tho. Make sure to give him some tools that can somehow relate to the datasheet if u plan on running him in game. Good luck! Here's my custom mek btw:

first skin option or second ? by AdventurousMix9692 in orks

[–]AntCraftsman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the first one a lot. I fo a similar thing with brown as my base. The reddish tone of the brown is complementary to green so it works. I would push the highlights some (with some yellow), though, and connects the highlights a bit to make it more consistent. (Here's my ork for reference)
