Ye Olde Inn

I didn't see it before, but now that kk mentioned it, I can't unsee the size of the boots. :lol:

Ok, fatter horns, smaller boots.
But you have to remember that this will be 3D printed into a model, and as such some of the proportions have to be exaggerated for moulding and casting, such as hands and feet, if you look at any GW model you will see this and most other companies, otherwise you end up with a faceless barbarian like in the 25th anniversary edition of HQ. I have quite a few models where proportion seems to have been forgotten.
I have a good idea for a barbarian sculpt that I will start next after I have fixed the horns and feet, and also I have an armoured version in the works.

Too cartoony for my taste.
Sjeng is right, the horns absolutely need to be made thicker at the base and goind out further to both sides. They don't make a circle, (MAYBE) when the insides of the horns are measured, but not on the outside. This change is important because the horns are not only eyecatchers but also denominators. They connect the guy to Chaos Warriors.
Changing the horns that way might even make up for the huge boots automatically.

Fatter horn base and smaller boots.

Exactly, I'm already in Florida.

Try to match the original horns if you can. More cowbell!
And of course a HeroQuest base

Not anything great but they came out all right. Still need highlights and touch ups though. Is it just me or do everyone's orcs all seem to wear red shirts?

Red is complementary to the green skin, so many people consciously or instinctively choose red as the second main color on the orcs.
It just looks good and most painters know beforehand.
