NextLevel Miniatures - Nosferatu

 



A classic vampire from the folks at NextLevel Miniatures. I thought about switching back to brush and bottle paint but I've been in a groove with the AK Interactive Playmarkers as well as the Sharpie brush tip markers so I thought I'd give it the ol' college try on some of the details.

Zombie Skin for the head. White on the teeth. Yellow Sharpie on the eyes. Then there's an inner collar of Purple and an outer collar of Red. The, and I had to google this one one, jabot collar was done in Dirty White with a Gold brooch The protective jacket Black sitting on a shirt of Red and finishing into a cloak of Purple. Pants were Red with Black boots. Then I fought with the gold marker on trimmings.

So here's my first real negative of the Playmarkers - I had the brush split - so instead of a single point I now have two and I don't know what to do about it. I tried using water to rinse the brush and then a paper towel to wipe it clean before re-priming. Didn't work - a little bit better, but not what it needs to be. Which is a real shame because I was having great success with previous models.

Into the Google Gemini A/I blender and that's exactly how I was intending to paint the model...


No ShadowDark card on this one - just use the Vampire straight out of the book on p.260 - he's a badass as is.
