The Dark Arts of Fleshcrafting, the painting and modelling index

Hello!

It's always good to have ancient knowledge collected in one place.
So grab Your scalpels, gather around operating table and watch Coven Masters at work...

This post is a collection of the best painting and modelling tutorials relating to the Dark Kin that can be found here on TDC, as well as elsewhere on the mon'keigh's Webway.
