Pale skin test for my Orcs — looking for advice
The image shows three different tests I’ve done while trying to develop a pale skin recipe for my Orcs. I’d really appreciate your opinions and any advice on how I could improve the result.
The process I’m currently using is:
Abaddon Black primer.
Rakarth Flesh, applied until I get an even and opaque basecoat.
Carroburg Crimson wash, applied only into the muscle folds and recesses.
Once the wash is dry, I clean up any areas where the pigment has pooled or become too strong.
Finally, I mix Rakarth Flesh + Pallid Wych Flesh 1:1 and apply a very light drybrush over the skin to pick out the raised areas.
I’m aiming for a very pale, slightly unhealthy/cold-looking skin tone, rather than the traditional green Orc skin.
What would you change or add to make the skin look better?
Any tips are welcome!
