Ended up using some interference paint, looks pretty cool in person actually.  Picutre is kind of ugh.
Have the sword to do, just the lettering.  Maybe add another color to the interference paint to while I'm at it.



Made some progress with Dracula, wish I had the eyes already, need to order those in the morning.  Curse myself for slacking.
Last picture he looks extra creepy because he looks greasy or sweaty or something, haha.  From building up the paint in some layers, getting some transulcent effects... trying anyway. =P  Will lighten it up some more after adding some more touches by hand.
