Hi Xenos,
for your first Orc it looks realy good.
Here are some tipps for your next Orc.
1
arklining and outlining to divite metal and other details
(you have done it with blue but mix a little darker paint to it)
2: The hotest part of the Flame is at the weapon.
3: i miss somthing at the Base like gras or earth.
So thats it for the moment, hope to see more Orcs in future.
Keep it up

To make the second comment xShaperx had a bit more clear:
A flame gets brighter the hotter it is. That means that it will be brighter closer to the 'start' than it is at the end.
I really like the painting, something you could do is to give it an overall wash with brown to give it a bit more dirt and shadows.
But if this is your first I'll fear your painting skills in a year from now, lovely!

Nice, and a whole lot better than the first few orcs i tried to paint!
I think the metallic areas are a bit bright, and would benefit from some dark washes and some matting down

the metalics defenetly need some more shading to gain some depth. anyway its a great greenskin for first try!
the face is good but something feels very strange with that cigar. :thinking:

That's a pretty good start. I quite like the eyes.
Darklining is in order to help separate some of the elements in the mini. The cigar for instance, would need to be much darker where it meets the mouth, so it doesnt look like he lit is own tongue or something like that.
The blue flame and blood splatter are good ideas, but it needs a lot more skill to make it credible. I think blue flame would be a lot harder to render correctly than red flame.
Metallics are the real low point here, which is very normal, it takes most painter a while to get them right ( I still often struggle with them); until you find your way to deal with them, you may want to avoid putting too much when it's possible, like having large parts like the 'barrel' painted on instead of metallic ( Which would be in character with orks imo) and using more gunbolt metal than silver, which doesn't show flaws as much.
And doing the base would be next, it is also a lot of fun
Mind, this is all only constructive criticism, which is the point of the forums, the most important thing is that you enjoy what you do.

Just to clarify greenie's bloodsplatter post...
Blood dries brown. It's usually easier to start with a brown shape, then layer on a couple coats of red wash that get smaller and smaller torwards the inside of the splatter. usually take a couple heavy layers of wash(like 2-3) to get it to look right.
