Help with Skin Tone.

[GnoobSauce]

I need help building a palette for a skin tone of an orc with similar color to Rend Blackhand :

For those who want more specifics, it's a more greyish skin tone, but Orc skin varies a little from human skin I'm not sure how to do it, what do I use for the "warmth"?

Do orcs have red blood? Physiologically they should have to but you never know with fantasy-lore.

If they do, the warmth in your palette should be derived from the underlying blood pool.

Isn't that a WoW model tho?

I'm asking about the colors of his skin, yes it's a WoW model. I'm trying to recreate his skin tone.

There is no "warm" colours in these, the pallete is cool :/...

Here:
White
Light teal (abit of green)
grey teal
grey blue
Grey/dark purple

I dont know if its correct, but it is how I would go about it, I also cant see the skin tone properly of the orc.

edit: looking at mine, the tonal values are different when posted here, rather flat ... best you fiddle

At least throw some cool blues and purples into the shadows.

I'm not sure but his skin looks very much like a merge of gray and green.
