How to paint Ork Skin the 'Eavy Metal way.

[@icenhorn4744]

2 years later and i still cannot give you enough thumbs up! this is awesome! thank you!

[@connermccracken5397]

WOW! I am LITERALLY AN ORC and that is EXACTLY what my SKIN LOOKS LIKE!!! INCREDIBLE WORK 👏

[@metatronyt]

Absolutely spectacular job, my wife and I were amazed. I’ve been trying to paint the black ork blood bowl team I got in the box, and this video is the bomb.

[@gi1dor]

Metatron on 40k painting channel 😱 You now double hero for me 😅

[@danielchalmers9815]

The metatron has spread its wings

[@GiggityGoo205]

What an unexpected surprise seeing you here

[@christianschmidt1784]

Pleeeaaaasse keep it going. 'eavy metal is only one style but it is so so hard to find a really high end tutorial on it and this looks just amazing. Fantastic work!

[@starscream6209]

I really hope this channel will stay up as long as possible. So much to learn, tau, dark eldar, orks, magic effects and swords, different skin tones, oh my... Best of luck mate, all tutorials will be most welcomed.

[@justinfleming1977]

I would definitely love to see how you’d paint the armor and leather on this mini, love your work!

[@D00M3R-SK8]

yeah, I'd love to see this finished TBH. I'm just getting into painting various Greenskin minis and all of this helps a lot.

[@D00M3R-SK8]

ah he actually has finished it now. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2bSk5eQpteGY6s

[@InfernalBrush]

EDIT: Since testing this again the initial basecoat is in fact closer to 1 part Averland Yellow and 3 parts Skarsnik. Not 50/50 as stated.

[@Rafalobo1]

For the past month I've been painting my kommandos and I noticed that I needs to add more Skarsnik.

[@josephlefebvre9213]

Could you use Orruk flesh as a base and get pretty close?

[@anubis667]

This video literally lifted me to a new level. Incredible! Thanks so much!

[@Caransus]

Love the recipe and palette view - really helps to see what consistency and blend your going for!

[@scroggie_mini_painting3983]

Hands down may favour ork skin of all time! Would love to see the rest of the mini completed. Also the squig from the Kill Rig would be amazing to see how to achieve the box art. Love the channel, keep up the amazing work 👍🏼

[@aurim9]

This was great. For me Ork skin in eavy metal quality was one of the most expected videos ever.

[@CMDante]

Love it! Some of the best looking Ork skin around and so glad to learn how it’s done! 🔥

[@SeaOfGrey]

Just wanted to say I love this walk through. Even though I'm only able to get it kinda similar due to my brush handling skills, this video has helped me grow so much and I finally have an ork skin recipe I like.

[@Gunshow0]

Legit id stop after 5:33 and be completely happy with that haha thanks so much for the video!

[@benjwillo]

Yeah for amy painting thats all ya need maybe 1 more highlight

[@tylerwalker1969]

You sir, have earned a sub. Genuinely the easiest to follow and in depth ‘Eavy Metal tutorial I’ve ever seen!

[@TheBaronVSP]

THANK YOU! I've been hoping for this exact tutorial for years.

[@jorismunier3555]

I've just done a Nob using this technique. I learnt so much in just one miniature and the result is amazing. Thank you so much mate ! This is top quality content !

[@InfernalBrush]

I'm glad the video was useful! Thanks for watching!

[@drrrrzz9145]

holy shit, so you painted these? beautiful work man, absolutely love it.

[@sdws91]

I've painted 50 orks now, and they look so cool. Thank you for the tutorial, it's hard to follow as I'm not a patient man but I've used the pallet and many tips. You have a Godlike talent!

[@InfernalBrush]

Thats very kind of you to say, It's not an ideal method for quick army painting but I'm glad you found it useful. Thankyou for watching!

[@JBMINIATURES]

Thank you so much for this, i have tried a few different Ork flesh tones and this is by far my favorite, ordering what i need to replicate this!

[@tn00bz]

I've always been frustrated that GW doesn't show exactly how they paint their models. I've come up with my own mix for ork skin that gets pretty close to the skin shown here, but it is amazing to see the person who literally did it show how to do it! You've shown off simple little things that I can use to modify my formula for a better looking end product! (I tend to use more layers, which obviously starts to cloud up details) Thank you so much!

[@InfernalBrush]

Thank you for watching, I'm glad it was useful!

[@MrDave13193]

Fantastic video Pez!!! Clear instructions and the production quality is fantastic

[@ramen6124]

this is amazing! really easy to follow and a nice demonstration of the techniques you hear so much talk about. Always loved the 'eavy metal style and im glad you're here to teach it

[@hellglazer]

100% would love to see the rest of ork. Would also love to see some Necron stuff 😁. Looks excellent!

[@Hypersapien_Hobbies]

This came out absolutely amazing, beautiful work and awesome video man! Keen to see more Ork work from you.

[@steverogers3696]

Ive used your tutorial for tau armour on my entire 3k tau army. It took me....months and months. Now im looking at orruks for sigmar and once again your tutorial for the skin is just so incredibly good. Time to have a very orruky year for me then!

[@benrichardson5662]

I used this to paint a Night Goblin Warboss for my brother as a birthday gift. I had to simplify it a bit because it's an old sculpt and so there's just not enough detail to use every step but i was really pleased with the result and my brother loves it. Thanks!

[@czarniutka852]

amazing job mate ! great brush control ! I like the whole video aspect - music, camera, commentary ! Keep up a great work

[@AdnanCucak]

Just for anyone struggling with this mix and not getting a vibrant colour, try Orruk Flesh 4-1 Yirel Yellow. It was DEAD on

[@lukedorrington7455]

Liked and subscribed! This is the best guide I've watched on how to paint in this style, thanks I learnt a lot

[@inkymug]

Holy shizzle! What an amazing channel I just found! This was an instant subscribe after watching Grey Knights armour and now this skin!

[@antood2534]

Another great video, look forward to your next one!

[@huckpott]

Well that was fantastic - not sure why I’ve not had you show up in my KZbin feed before but WOW loved it. Tutorial was easy to follow, and makes me want to paint your some Orcs. Thanks again and I’m now subbed, so going to see what other fun vids you’ve done 😃

[@handznet]

Best Orc skin I have seen in ages :)

[@D00M3R-SK8]

That tutorial is great, man. It's really cool to have such an indepth Ork Skin tutorial from someone who has painted a lot of them. This was exactly what I needed to see. Would be cool to see a one for Gloomspite Gitz skin as well, if that's something you'd be into painting? Some of the Squigg-related stuff specifically, as would love to see how you do the red as well. PS: I imagine the Gobbos would be darker and more blue/green than yellow/green.

[@jakew5115]

The best ork skin video I’ve seen and I watched a lot. I would love to see the whole model completed. I would also like to know how to would shorten your Ork skin style for large batch paint. Again great video! Thanks!

[@shruggingatlasminiatures]

Fantastic video, thank you! Seems like no matter how thin i think my glazes need to be, the answer clearly is thinner!

[@hobbygoblinjoe5633]

Incredibly deep video, cheers for sharing your process!

Thanks for checking out the content Joe! didnt realise you had a yt so subbed there and will check out the vids, regards! - Dave.

Thanks for the vid, definitely keen to see the next stages. I'd also love to see a video on the vehicles like the buggy right in the beginning!

[@Reyalis3]

wow you got skills! think that's the fastest I've ever hit a sub button, really hope I get to see you finish the whole model

[@The_Mini_Creative]

This was extremely helpful I've been struggling to achieve that Eavy Metal Ork Skin look. I'm excited to take another crack at it with this information.

[@MrRabbitbait]

now you just have 99 more orks to paint . great video you make painting to that level look so easy

Daaaang ok I’m trying this! Great job 🔥🔥🔥

This looks amazing!! Makes some pro paintjobs look dull in comparison. Or maybe its because i love this clean look and vibrant colours... or maybe its both :D Congrats man!!

Awesome vid! Please finish the rest of the model would love to see the final result!

[@tenebras]

Damn now this is what I love to see

[@richardschabel3796]

I bought Vallejo Model colors to match the Citadel ones you used because they are much more cheaper and are in drop bottles. I really love the style and your approach to paint the ork skin. I would love to see you painting an ork in heavy armor. Subscribed & liked. Keep up with the good work!

Thank you! I'm sure there will be more Ork videos in the future, it's my favourite faction!

For ork skin, check out guttripa flesh. Gives it that perfect orky look

[@matthewberry3608]

your channel is incredible! thanks for this!

[@droopyballbag]

I love Orks. And I’m gonna say it. Squats rule!!!

[@TheJackFrench]

Quick question - when you do the first soft shade, it seems to blend so nicely over the base color without creating any banding or noticeable edges anywhere. How do you do this? I wish I could shade with paints the same way I would shade with a pencil, but it's really difficult to create smooth gradients like you're doing. Are you just using the blend of Base Mix and Ork Flesh Contrast? Or are you mixing in more water or maybe a glaze or something? Also, your paint seems to stay wet on the brush for a long time too. How do you achieve this? My paints seem to last about 20-30 seconds on my brush before they start drying on the brush, forming small little clumps at the end of the brush which forces me to rinse and re-do. Would love some help with this step if you have time!

[@InfernalBrush]

Hey Jack. The trick is having the paint thin enough but not too much on the brush, you need to keep the paint moving with acrylics. If you notice it creating a line quickly wash the brush with clean water, put the brush in your mouth to remove excess water and then feather out the area before it dries. It helps to have your water pot close. I know some people aren't too comfortable putting the brush into their mouth (even if clean) in that case have a paper towel at hand or even use the side of your thumb to remove the excess water. But the key is being quick. You can also buy mediums that slow the drying time however I don't tend to use them. I hope this helps!

[@TheJackFrench]

@@InfernalBrush I really appreciate the response and it all makes sense! Also washing the brush and feathering the paint before it dries is a great tip - and I'm guessing it's easier to do this if the paint has already been thinned somewhat. Your painting skills are amazing by the way - it really gives me something to aim for. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@ahzekahriman8801]

Thank you so much for this tutorial !

[@JK-nx1ww]

Hi Im not expecting a reply but I was just wondering, for the teeth, did you just go straight over a black base coat with the zandrindust and leave black in the recesses? Thats what it looked like to me and your teeth look so much more distinct than when ive based the entirety of the teeth zandei dust and then used a shade to get definition. Thanks in advance

[@InfernalBrush]

Hello, yes that's exactly what I would do. Leave a nice thin black shade line in the recesses and then pick out the whole tooth itself with Zandri followed by Ushabti, then add white towards the top of the tooth.

[@JK-nx1ww]

@@InfernalBrush Thanks for the reply. I really appreciate it. I'll try that technique tonight 👏

[@martineasterman5170]

Amazing work, woukd love any tips you have for painting faster or saving time doing space marines👍

[@brettmalone8486]

Awesome video. Thanks for coming down from on high to give us mere mortals a glimpse into what it takes to get box art stuff. Can you paint the rest of him? Please.

[@DanielMtal]

Awesome tutorial!! Also, not sure if its too late to ask this but I've been trying this out (with orruk flesh as the base) and the ogryn camo gets chalky when i use it thinned down too much. is there a way around this, i really admire how smooth your finish is on the skin!

[@rousselalexandre1653]

just woaaaaaaa epic nice flesh , u have gold-hands

[@maxfaleij]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@quahodron2756]

Thank you. It's really looking great! Even if it is hard to watch you licking your brush all the time. 😅

[@renaultdavey]

do you use a magnifying glass

[@LazyManHobbies]

That's insane!

[@androsthebloodthirsty8709]

Will you be revisiting orc skin by doing the new old world models? I'd be really excited to see that

[@davedogge2280]

This will be exciting to try out. I'm a boring old traditionalist with my ork skin i.e. waaargh flesh, biel tan green shade, war boss green and then skarsnik highlights.

[@sdws91]

Is it 100% Skarsnik and Averland sunset as the base coat? I’m trying to copy, but the mix just has a lower contrast and doesn’t seem as strong of a colour. Also, is it that over black or have you done some sort of pre shading? Incredible painting. Very inspiring.

[@remarcabull]

i had same issue, add more green and shake it well each time until you get the same colour, i found it to be 2:3 ratio averland to skarsnik

[@InfernalBrush]

It was just over a black primer, no pre shading in this case, although I see no reason why you couldn't do some pre shading with an airbrush. Thanks for watching!

[@zurmanskyplayer9058]

I've been using elysian Green as a base with greats results, try it if you want!

[@sdws91]

Thanks! I got there in the end. I stuck with the mix I made and have great results. I've made a cheat too by after applying the base coat, apply zenithal highlights with an airbrush with ogryn camo, then gloss varnish through an airbrush, then lamhiam medium, the original base coat and ork flesh contrast as a wash. Do all the fleshy bits as per the master sugguest in the video, and then a Matt varnish via airbrushing. Works a treat on 50+ models!

[@zurmanskyplayer9058]

@@sdws91 Really? I'm giving it a try then!

[@jackgathercole4961]

Hi there big fan of the channel. Sorry if this is a really stupid question but I’m fairly new to mini painting. In regards to the soft shade would you say it is more of layer or a glaze in terms of the amount of paint on your brush and the consistency? Many thanks for all the great vids

[@InfernalBrush]

Usually more towards a glaze built up over several layers. Thanks for watching!

[@nomcognom2332]

Thank you!

[@D00M3R-SK8]

do you think this would a be a suitable recipe for doing Gobbo skin as well, or is it too light? I'm starting a mechanized Ork army and a Gloomspite Gitz army soon, so really trying to do all the research I can on Greenskin. I've not done either before, and it's something I really want to get into. I couldn't decide between the two, so a vehicle focussed 40k army and a Squigg focussed AoS it is (also I have always wanted to do some Night Gobbos, and do some really cool cave-bases for them) I guess if I am going to have both 40k Orks and AoS Cave Gobbos, then I'm going to want them to look different. Do you by any chance have any Goblin recipes on here, too?

[@SkullFacesaba]

WOW !! plz give me more !! great job
