Dancing with Skargog Skull 'ead

My Savage Ork Shaman is ready

As with all characters, I painted Skargog Skull 'ead with classic blend shading instead of dipping.  I really enjoyed shading and blending the muscles and and cloth. The Savage Ork minis are quickly becoming some of my favourites to paint because they offer a great mix of large area shading and detail work. And of course, this sculpt has one of the most dynamic poses in the line.  How often do you get to see a half-naked ork dancing?

I used the Micron pen on the skulls and I am thrilled with the results. It's hard to see in the pictures, but I was able to draw in some really great designs which bring the mini to life and add eye-catching detail.

Now that Skargog is ready, complete with the Shrunken Head hanging off his belt, he'll be joining my Savage Ork Mob and providing them some much needed protection!
