Wilhelmina "Mina" Harker


Miss Mina Murray is a school mistress who is betrothed to Jonathan Harker. After her fiancĂ© escapes from a mysterious Count's castle, Mina travels to Budapest to care for him during his recovery from a traumatic encounter. The two are married and return to England as husband and wife. However upon their return Mina is devastated to  learn that her best friend Lucy Westenra has died from a mysterious illness stemming from severe blood loss.


I base coated Mina's dress with Reaper Jungle Moss, the trim of her dress with Vallejo Beige Brown and Vallejo Red Leather for her belt and necklace. Her hair got Reaper Blonde Shadow, her skin Reaper Fair Skin and the Vallejo Natural Steel for the pistol and crucifix.

For shading I used Reaper Dark Green Shade for her dress, then I positioned her sideways to allow the shade to dry without running down to the bottom of her dress.


I shaded her belt, dress trim and hair with Vallejo Sepia Shade, and lightly washed her face and hands with a wash made from Reaper Fair Shadow. Her gun and crucifix received a wash with Reaper Black Wash. I also carefully applied some black wash to the cuts and tears in her dress.


Given the nature of Mina's affliction in the game, I wanted to leave her clothing fairly dark and her skin very light. So I highlighted her face and hands with Reaper Fair Highlight, and the folds of her dress with Reaper Highland Moss.


With that, Mina is ready to go out into the night and get herself some payback!
