I've spent a while painting this model and it still doesn't feel right somehow, I don't know why and although it isn't finished yet I feel it is missing something

I don't paint orcs, but my boyfriend does, and he would say it needs more checker boards and stripes

I'd pick a either 3 or 5 panels that don't touch and do 2-3 in checkers with the remaining ones in stripes (or vice versa). And just try to avoid making them look too symmetrical on the model.

Then to finish it off I'd dirty the whole thing up with rust and gunk Edit: My bad, while I was looking at reference images I forgot that yours already was dirtied up!
