Vlad "Pull my finger" the Flatulator...less well known, but just as deviant as his cousin the impaler.

 

Tessa the "Crone"

I love the jewel tone theme you went with on Vivian, going so far as to work it into the skin tone. I’m def going to be stealing that.

@Adrift i got the Fantasy 2 color set from Scale 75 and wow, let me just say they're amazing.  Blending and smoothness are exactly what those paints are for.  I must add the downside to them is, on the palette they wet out if out longer than 4 hours, so be aware to be sparce with how much you put down or work fast.  HIGHLY recommend them.  

 

@Glitterwolfit's high regard to get the coveted space wolf of excellence aka MOE (mark of excellence). Thanks, buddy!

I really like the classic color scheme you used on Vlad (especially the nice shading on the cape's liner).

 

Tessa is excellent, too. I'm also in the middle of a mini with a primarily blue color scheme, so I was really drawn to the way you've created minor variations throughout to keep her basically monochromatic, but still interesting. Amazing hair, too.

 

Vivian - wow...that skin is amazing. Such cool color choices and excellent blending. I love the work on her cape, too.

@Grand Slamthank you, sir! 

On Vlad's cape it is 3 colors:  black green for shade, scarlet for red, then flat red to bring up highlights (as much as that red can be).

Back of his cloak i wanted to be something besides black, so i mixed in nightmare black with black to give it a blue hue.

 

I was trying to stick to like 4 colors for the ladies.  I was adding black to their main tone, then varying it with cream, pale sand, or lighter blue.  Her hair is msp paints : red shadow up to viceroy red to phoenix red.  Phoenix red happens to be one of my all time favs.  If you don't have it - GO GET IT. 

 

Vivian had pleasant skin, but then i went a little nuts on the red lips and blood on the chin.  Now she looks like she's pursed too much.  Whoops.

No worries on the lips...just makes the name all the more appropriate 🙂

Killed it on "Vlad".  That's some peak 2e Strahd.

I luv the color scheme on the Halloween witch, but the the color scheme on the female Vamp....     .... Awesome ! Been wanting to do the vamp for a long time but the colors just won't call out to me to use on her, but the colors you've chosen, impressive.

That's a pretty fantastic group of spooky season miniatures.

Inspiring! May favorite bits are the eyes/glow on Vlad, Tessa's skin and hair and how it works with her dress, and Viviane's skin

@Iridili finally used contrast paints! The eyes on vlad are Imperial Fist Yellow over white in the surrounding area of the eye. Worked great!
