"Where Does it Hurt?" - Dorian the Grey - Part 1

Please state the nature of your medical emergency.

Welcome back one and all to another Friday on The Art of Caesura!

This week we're back with my Space Station Zero gang, and this time we're looking at the Medic. 

In Zombicide: Invader parlance, he's Dorian the Grey (get it? Get it? Like Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Grey" because he's a grey-style alien. Good, we got it). In my crew and short story from a few weeks ago, he's a she, and she's called Sera Vale. 

I started with a Grey Seer zenithal undercoat.

I carefully painted Contrast Space Wolves Grey (lots of greys in this post...) just over her skin. 

I painted the kind of undersuit with Apothecary White (which, keeping with the grey theme, is basically just a pale grey). 

Then out came The White to highlight and define the harder armoured areas. 

White was followed with black.

I painted the iconic alien pistol (maybe in my crew it's a medical tricorder or dermal regenerator) with Medal Medium to give it an otherworldly, pearlescent look. The details were painted with Screaming Bell and the pistol and copper details were given a thin wash of Druchii Violet.

The eyes were the final detail and they were just filled in with black and dotted with white specks. 

And then she was done! Having watched gameplay of Space Station Zero, it looks extremely lethal, so Dr. Vale will likely have her work cut out for her, but we'll talk about her role in the game next week. 

Until then, have a great week and I'll see you next time on The Art of Caesura!
