For the past 4 days, I've been trying to paint volumes on my slimux skin and have been struggling with the top parts and posture. Every time I struggle with something about painting , Vince comes and makes a exact video about it. Great video as always!

[@VinceVenturella]

Always happy to help.

[@FelixZwirn]

The detail about the pink made me feel really proud. I started painting this year. And I got myself some 40k Orks for the beginning. And I choose to paint their nose/snout with a bit of a pink (and sometimes purple) highlight.

[@L1da77]

Orc skin is basically why I love painting. It's very flexible and to be honest quite hard to completely fail with (unlike human, caucasian skin). + orcs usually have quite exaggerated poses, facial expressions which makes it a lot easier to work with. Orcs ❤️💚❤️

[@galatician8063]

You paint a mean orc ! (although I had deja vu of Larry the ogre). Makes me want to buy an army just to practice. I have some mantic deadzone orcs buried somewhere that will get painted some day. He really stands out with that blue armor. It seemed alittle odd, but then thought maby he reforged some space marine armor? Thanks Vince! I always look forward to your videos on Saturdays! Makes my day!

[@phillipberenguer7884]

I feel like regardless of the content of the video, I always come away with having learned something applicable from the HC series. Thanks for everything you do for the community!!

[@VinceVenturella]

Great to hear!

[@coltspinks9397]

I’m about to start an iron-jaw army so again Vince is coming in clutch!

[@xzeke666x]

i really like how you painted his armour, it was really vibrant and a fun variation instead of the "usual"

[@Southboundpachyderm]

How is it vince's video timing is always so perfect? I'm painting orcs and this pops up? *chefs kiss*

[@VinceVenturella]

Awesome!

[@Southboundpachyderm]

@@VinceVenturella also wanted to say I picked up an excelsior wet pallet on your suggestion after using a cheapo knock off one from Amazon for a long time, and holy shit it almost instantly ups my painting game which I guess means I probably wasn’t thinning enough before. Thanks again Vince! Hope you’re having a wonderful holiday season!

[@Wijkert]

Lovely painterly feel. I think this style really fits you Vince! You can tell that you love these models. The more you like the models, the more love you put into them.

[@VinceVenturella]

I totally agree!

[@marksutherlandjr.2121]

I've been watching hobby painting videos on my journey over the past year or so. Though I'm actually just now getting to Vinces hobby channel.( Been through a few podcast with him and a couple others.) But after watching a few of the old school "Hobby Cheating" glaze tutorials and some of these newer videos. I better understand why our favorite miniature hobby painter's "favorite hobby painter" is Vince. Your videos have unlocked something in my painting over the last few weeks. Idk if it's the videos. Or maybe the timing of my own process. But I've made some major strides recently. Thank you for these vids snd all you do for the hobby man. New Sub here. I'll be around.

[@VinceVenturella]

That's amazing to hear and glad to have you along on the hobby journey!

[@user-wy6jp1sc7b]

I enjoy and learn from your videos. I wish you would show how you mix the colors with proportions.

[@VinceVenturella]

Most of this wasn't really mixing, it was just the straight colors, but when I do mix, it's always very free form, that is the challenge, it's cooking, not baking. :)

[@Gaiawolf]

Excellent Orc “Punisher” miniature. Great guide as usual. Cheers Mr V. Keep well. 🖖

[@VinceVenturella]

Thank you kindly!

[@thebackdoorsanta7044]

Who else is here from Poorhammer's recommendation? Excellent stuff!

[@TheMiniaturesPaintbrush]

I love that green, I have indeed fell victim to the muscle Island syndrome, thank you for the technique

[@Barry-Sweaty]

How funny. I just got up super early to assemble my Xmas battle box Stampede. Perfect! Thanks 🙏🏼

[@Mattw1987]

Amazing! very handy for me seeing as I mainly paint goblins and orcs! some things for me to try now!, i am with you with the pink on the faces really does make the models stand out

[@mindlasher]

That looks fantastic Vince. I'm intimidated by freehanding stuff, but I will be tying that war paint on the next Ork I paint

[@califax512]

Nice video Vince! I feel like oil paints is the way to go for large skin areas like this

[@shadowstep420]

Vince man this is amazing gave me a great idea for my battleforce of orcs i got for skin tone you are beyond genius sir!!!! Cant wait to see your next post have a good my man.

[@earnestwanderer2471]

Neat. I’m looking at some WH Fantasy Orcs that I painted back in, like, 2001-2 and try to remember what I did back then.

[@aerka0s760]

This video has absolutely the best timing possible for me, I just picked up some gore-grunta to paint, I was afraid to start paint the flesh but your video will help me tremendously. Thank you Vince.

[@VinceVenturella]

Glad I could help!

[@j.taylor7361]

I tried painting a Hulk miniature for Crisis Protocol and his deltoids, biceps and upper muscles all suffered from ‘Muscle Island Syndrome’ 😂. I was directed to this video by someone and will be making changes! Thanks!

[@VinceVenturella]

Very cool! Always happy to help!

[@adamgoode8997]

One time I accidentally hit some finished orc skin with some red. Instead of fixing it or trying to paint over it, I turned it into war paint. It turned out pretty cool at the time.

[@VinceVenturella]

Love it! Happy little accident for sure.

[@isisnmagic1812]

Great video, and loads of tips for my fave warhammer dudes, thanks Vince.

[@VinceVenturella]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@murfmurf313]

... and with this vid - I had to quit slacking and join your Patreon. ok - it's at the lowest level, but we'll work up! Thanks Vince! Two comments that are kinda "aha" to me - colored water - I've been using way to thick ; and the red/pink commentary. I've been planning to branch out to orks to put more "fun" in my painting and this is all inspirational!

[@VinceVenturella]

Much appreciated!

[@kingkreaghan6762]

Great video! I'm always astonished at how you teach skin! It helps me so very much.

[@VinceVenturella]

Happy to help!

[@thewannabepainter1]

Oops. Have just finished 3 gore grunta riders with muscle islands on every bit of them..... But this video will definitely change how I'm going to do ard boy box that's next in the paint queue.

[@Wadtomaton]

This looks great, will definitely incorporate this into the next orkz I paint up! 🤘🤘

[@VinceVenturella]

Have fun!

[@bozhidarkaraargirov5171]

I have heard some people on youtube talk about the muscle islands as a strictly bad thing and that COULD be correct. When it comes to orcs though, having muscle islands is something I like*. If done with intent it leaves a cell shade-like/animation like appearance, which I find very nice on GW orcs specifically.

[@VinceVenturella]

If you're going for comic book style you are absolutely correct.

[@quahodron2756]

Interresting. My Orks are way lighter green, basing on Elysian Green and going up with several mixes 'til Screaming Skull and with shades mixes towards Lupercal Green.

[@markgnepper5636]

Great stuff friend 👏 👍

[@alancook1053]

nice😍🤩🤩🤩 perfect system. thanks!

[@VinceVenturella]

Glad you like it!

[@RichardReads]

Great video Vince, really like the recipe you used here

[@VinceVenturella]

Glad you liked it :)

[@papabopp]

Awesome video as always! Can we get a video on painting Jade stones/gems? On seraphon perhaps?

[@VinceVenturella]

I have an older video on just that - kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6iyf3ikncSpntU&pp=gAQBiAQB

[@SlaveToChaos]

most excellent work. I would love to see a guide like this on an alternative orc skin tone. like the rusty/brown orange from wow (the non demon blood orcs, forget what they're called). do you still use pinks to encourage the concept of "blood flow"? What color to contrast between muscles? "blend"? the shadows.

[@VinceVenturella]

Yes on the pink for sure. A purplish red tone is great for those shadows.

[@2ClutchGamers]

Just in time to work on my commission of Kommandos

[@mcdanger1985]

Naturally had to purchase the dark yellow green to pay my respects to the technomancer

[@kendrickwhite4868]

You are the goat sir!

[@VinceVenturella]

Glad to help :)

[@dannythompson9642]

👍👍

[@Erikjust]

A little side question if you where to paint and Orc holding two sword one of Steel and one of Silver. How would you distinguish the two?

[@trisbane4086]

I would personally make the steel one darker and give it more scratches and rough edges. The silver I would make a lighter color and less abraded.

[@VinceVenturella]

Yeah, I think the comment above is pretty dead on. That being said, it won't really be a difference that is perceptable. You could go farther and weather and rust one but not the other (since Silver doesn't oxidie like iron), or add a bit of blue sheen to the silver but there is sort of a limit on distinguising silver colored metals.

[@Mikey__R]

I do like that you always say it's a back and forth process. I think the idea that you only work in one direction, from darker to lighter, isn't ideal for the majority of painters. It's definitely not for me.

[@GoldenRogueMinis]

Great job as always, how long would this take you on average? I find skin takes me ages to get anywhere I’m happy with

[@VinceVenturella]

Not too long, this was probably like 40-60 minutes.

[@ILikeYous]

Is there an easy way to represent dry skin vs skin in a more humid environment on orks or any races? Whats the trick for dry skin? On black skin its easier to accomplish due to real life example photos but when doing it on fantasy skin or animal skin colors I have had a hard time. EDIT: The only thing that has worked semi-decently for me is pigment powders post varnish with smaller make-up brush to literally "powder" the skin.

[@VinceVenturella]

Yeah, a little pigment can do it, you can stipple in some grey, it's just a really hard thing to represent in that scale.

[@theWolfnMiniatures]

I'm painting Sylvaneth with a lot of browns. Is there a color that works similarly to a complimentary shade? (I tried a dark blue since they're warm browns...?) Does it shift depending on the levels of RGB In the brown? Thanks for all the videos!

[@VinceVenturella]

Well, brown isn't really a color in the traditional sense, its a mixture that usually has a true color of orange (though that can vary), by that logic, you can do it, you want to find the true color and then work the complimentary color to that. So something like dark blues would work in most cases.

[@theWolfnMiniatures]

@@VinceVenturella thanks for the response! And of course, thanks for the videos. I really appreciate your teaching style. The lady of vines videos have been hugely helpful as well.

[@mattweibrecht2994]

Do you have any suggestions for speed paint recipes for ork flesh? I have an upcoming project for a friend's army where I have approx 300 orkz to paint

[@VinceVenturella]

I have previous videos in the playlist on speed painting orc and goblin skin. :) - Simply red to ivory as your zenithal, then a yellow/green thin tone filtered over.

[@TheEnd]

Whaaaaaaag!

[@lanesteele240]

What do you mean when you say the color is stark. Im kinda lost

[@VinceVenturella]

It's saturation and intensity.

[@brayandeutsch6577]

Can we have Potassium ork Ice cream

[@khelom]

This Orc wanted to fight so badely that hé forgot to put his coat . If it rains , hé could bé sick. This is not very serious .

[@marcoscastellanos4114]

Waaaaaaaaagh!!!!!

[@Mikey__R]

I quite agree.
