Vampire Flesh (AK17064) is a distinctive pale purple-rose tone in the Quickgen range, created for painters who want to achieve cold, lifeless and undead skin without complex layering. The colour shown in the example combines cool pink, muted violet and soft grey, producing that instantly recognisable vampiric pallor. Thanks to the Quickgen flow, the paint naturally settles into recesses and creates delicate contrast that suits eerie and supernatural characters perfectly.

With its low coverage, Vampire Flesh is designed for translucent layers that allow the undertone to shine through. This makes it ideal for painting thin or ghostly skin, faded complexions and pale highlights. Many miniature painters value this specific coverage because it produces a natural, marble-like depth with minimal effort. Applied over a light primer, the colour instantly takes on a cold, drained complexion that is perfect for vampires, spirits or undead creatures.

Many painters mix Vampire Flesh with Reddish Flesh for a more morbid undertone or with Space Grey for colder, more desaturated effects.
