Sharki - Part 1

After working on a couple human-like figures (Frank von Stein, Vesha, and a historical I haven't posted yet), I felt like changing things up a bit and painting an orc. I have a couple unstarted kits from the original Big Child Creatives orc kickstarter. Those sculpts are all so full of character and fun to paint, they seemed like an ideal choice. After poking through my stash I settled on Sharki.

I'm practicing atmospheric lighting and cast shadows on this piece. I began by taking reference photos for the shadows which I highly recommend. I'll be working blue into all of the shaded regions for the ambient light and yellow into the primary light. Fun fact: no bottled green was used on the skin, just yellows and blues. The only colors used for the green were AK's Strong Dark Blue, WWI French Uniform Base, and Lemon Yellow.
