Vampires Next Door, Encore

Just a quick commission, a couple of grave markers.
Be well...

Vampires Next Door, Finished!

The final episode, I will let the pictures speak for themselves....







Until next round, be well.

Vampires Next Door, Episode 5

With the majority of the vampires finished, it was time to do some work on the display base. And the corpse of course.

This project was quite enjoyable, (I haven't painted old skool fantasy in a while), especially since I got the opportunity to make a display base.

The gravestone and gargoyle are pretty neat, I don't know what manufacturer they are from, but it is cool to paint things I'm not used to. They had almost no mold lines and nice crisp detail (I'd like to know where to get some...)

Next episode of VND will be the finale, see you then.
Until next round, be well.

Vampires Next Door, Episode 4

The painting of the vampires has begun. I think I might have used three different ways to paint black.

For a couple of old sculpts, they didn't seem too bad for mold problems. (Although Manfred's face is...odd, and Isabella has massive hair.)

The metallics I stayed with silver, to keep with the gothic look. The blades had some red mixed into the metals, I think it turned out well.

Until next round, be well.

Vampires Next Door, Episode 3

This episode, the Von Carsten's yard gets some foliage and sand. Sadly, the tree idea was scratched...

I think they are toasting each other, or the gargoyle, (or the corpse, not sure).
Time to prime.
Until next round, be well.

Vampires Next Door, Episode 2

On this episode of Vampire Next Door, we are going to take a look at the Von Carsten's yard.

It is watched over by a very nice gargoyle (origins unknown) and a random trespasser.

Go ahead, ring the bell...
The small bases are detachable, for when there is blood-letting about.
Until next time...

Vampires Next Door, Episode 1

In Episode One of the Vampires Next Door saga; the blueprint.

Beginning at the lower right corner, Isabella Von Carsten (the classic sculpt) will stand holding her chalice 'o blood. Behind her, a crooked tree will arc over to the other side of the base. This is where Manfred will be standing (again, classic sculpt) upon a broken tombstone. The base will rise to the left, using plastic brickwork, and be centrally guarded by a gargoyle, with a bell.

Until next episode...
