I show you how to paint Vampire Count Dire Wolf

Finally got my wolves all done. Did my research on wolves, found out that usually in the forest wolves, they have a brown sort of top coat and usually white bleach color on the underside. To make the wolf feels more errie, I gave them red eyes with black eyeball.

Here’s how I how got my Dire Wolf painted…

1. Base coat the wolf black. When dried, coat the wolf with Fortress Grey. When dried, wash the whole wolf with Badab Black heavily.

8. Finish off eyes with Red Gore, blend slightly with Red Gore & Skull white, and Chaos Black for the eye ball. Next, skull white for the teeth and mix of Red Gore and Skull white for the gums.

9. Wash a thin layer of gloss over the eye, teeths, nose  and mouth area to give a wet look effect.
