Dr. John "Jack" Seward

Dr. Seward serves as the administrator of an insane asylum in London. One of the patients, R. M. Renfield catches his attention when the patient develops a psychosis which compels him to devour living things.

Dr. Seward is good friends with Quincey Morris and Arthur Holmwood, the future Lord Godalming. However their friendship is tested with all three men propose to the lady Lucy Westenra the same day.

Lucy ultimately accepts Author's proposal, however Dr. Seward maintains his love for her and dedicates himself to finding a cure when she suddenly becomes ill with a very unusual malady.

Looking at the artwork, I decided to go with a base coat of Reaper Jungle Moss for Jack's cape and vest, and a coat of Reaper Highland Moss for his jacket.

His trousers got a coat of Vallejo Beige Brown, and his boots Vallejo Cobra Leather. The art shows his face as rather pale, so I went with Reaper Fair Skin for his face and hands. His shirt collar got a coat of Vallejo Off-White, with a thin line of Vallejo Red Leather for his tie. Jack's hair got a coat of Reaper Dark Skin.  The cross received a couple coats of Vallejo Red Leather.


Next I added some shading to the cape, using Vallejo Dark Green Wash. 


The cape received a couple of washes. I also lightly washed the jacket and vest.  The face and hands received a wash with Vallejo Fleshtone Shade. Shading on the trousers and boots was done with Vallejo Sepia Shade. His hair was shaded with Vallejo Black Wash.  I also gave the cross a light shade with Sepia.


Next I highlighted the cape by detail painting a few thin coats of Reaper Pale Lichen on the raised folds. Jack's hair was highlighted with some Reaper Dark Skin.


The jacket and vest were also highlighted with pale lichen. The face and hands were highlighted with Reaper Pale Skin and I added some Vallejo Bronze for the buttons.


Finally I painted the base black, and Dr. Seward is ready to gather his team to battle the Night!
