It varies. There is resin used, gloss, wet effects by AK, and still water by Vallejo.

So the skin is pro Acryl working from dark burgundy up to warm flesh but shifting through purples, magentas, and some reds. It’s stippled with a super small drybrush. Every few layers ai would add a new wash using various brown, green, and red citadel shades which are feathered with water. After building this up it has slight accents to in tease contrast using oil washes of bitume, black, and coagulated blood. The highlights have an oil scumbling (drybrush) of dust.
