The skin part of this recipe is based heavily on a YouTube tutorial from Infernal Brush titled "How to paint Ork Skin the 'Eavy Metal way". I changed a few bits to simplify the process, so if you want a more comprehensive guide, please check out his video.
Basecoat the skin with Orruk Flesh .
Take the previous Orruk Flesh and mix it 2:1 with Ork Flesh . Use this mix to add general shading to recesses and shadowed areas.
Increase the amount of Ork Flesh in the mix, so that it is roughly 2:1 with the Orruk Flesh . Now add thinner and more precise recess shades to the skin.
With Coelia Greenshade thinned 1:1 with Lahmian Medium , add extra definition to the deepest recesses.
Glaze Ogryn Camo over raised details and upward facing portions of the muscle.
Mix equal parts Kislev Flesh and Ogryn Camo and selectively highlight more fleshy areas. I stuck to the lower lip, ear tips, scars, knuckles, elbows and veins.
With a 1:1 mix of Ogryn Camo and Ushabti Bone , add general highlights to the rest of the skin. When you are done, thin it some more and glaze smaller areas within the previous pure Ogryn Camo highlight.
Take a mix of Khorne Red and Incubi Darkness and glaze around the fleshy areas we established earlier. This is good armound wounds or other areas where"blood" would be close to the surface. You can add in a little Cadian Fleshtone too for areas where the transition is too harsh.
With Ushabti Bone , add very small highlights to the most extreme points of the Kislev Flesh and Ogryn Camo areas highlighted earlier. Small dots are great for adding texture to scars and wounds too.
Take your Ogryn Camo and Ushabti Bone mix from earlier, add a little white in and add very small highlights to the rest of the greeny flesh. Make these specular highlights added to the very centre of the previous layering. These are meant to represent glints of light.
Glaze the eyeball itself and the recess around it with the mix of Khorne Red and Incubi Darkness from earlier.
Basecoat the eyes with Evil Sunz Scarlet . Try to cover just the eyeball itself.
Add a small highlight of a vibrant orange (like Troll Slayer Orange ) to the raised part of the eye.
Pop the smallest dot highlight of Flash Gitz Yellow you are capable of to the centre of the eye.
