Done! I tried to get him finished for the MPO 2025 but time was short and I had to rush. This is how I wish I had submitted him. It's mainly fixing the boots and adding more contrast to the gold

Here's my entry for the MPO Orkvember 2025. I was hoping to spend more time on this but I had to rush to get it submitted. I think the gold is too yellow. All the leather is very rough and I didn't fix the axe on the black orc. Still, I think they look great as a group and I'm happy with the faces.

I'm back home and managed to get some painting done yesterday. Not really sure about the bracelet, maybe I should make it leather and only the spikes metal.

They're the same picture? I often make a digital paintover when I want to try out something fast. In this case, the painting is almost done, but I want to try some final touches. I added more light to the bandana and teeth, and more specular highlights on the face. Also tidied up the earring and ear

Here's the painted head, converted from a 40K ork. You can see why I felt I needed bigger eyes: I wouldn't have where to put all that detail on the original sculpt.

For 38 long years, 40K hobbyists have sullied our precious fantasy models with their guns, powerpacks and powerswords. I say it's about time we pick up our hobby knives and fight back! Joking aside, there are a lot of cool fantasy to 40K conversions that people are doing, but not so much the reverse

Throwback thursday! My 2025 and 2024 black orcs! I tried to make them fit together as best I could. Still haven't fixed the axe blade as I've been away from home for the past week.

Orctober done! I aimed at matching my black orc from last year and I am very pleased. Sculpting the eyes bigger was a good idea too.

WIP! There's many things left to do: cloth, skin, straps. Also add ground reflections and tidy up what I have. The chainmail sculpting isn't great. I need to paint it better.

Hello friends! I've been painting goblins for a while so I thought I'd do a video looking back at my journey and explaining my thoughts on how I paint them.

I made a YouTube video on the evolution of my goblins. I went from using metallics and saturated red hoods to NMM and square bases. I also show the paints I use. Link in bio.

Empire in flames! The red-face goblins have come down from their caves in the World's Edge Mountains to raid the quiet village of Nachtdorf. Bg painted in Krita. I used the Bucegi mountains, which I can see from my window, as reference.

It's Orctober! I started a bit early and mostly finished this head. The sculpt is a bit rough but I love the character. Happy painting!

A Nasty Skulker! These guys are some of my favorite sculpts. They're not night goblins, but I used the same color scheme to make them fit. He was part of the Mordheim band I speedpainted last year and polished now
