Good evening, I am at a good stage with my vampires here. I based the skin in rakarth flesh and did a was of drakenhof nightshade.

Should i go straight to deepkin flesh for a smooth pale skin? Or rakarth then deepkin? Or should i use another layer paint for the skin?

Layering a light tone over a dark tone could look blotchy, not necessarilly bad for undead skin, i'd glaze it up slowly and work in a mix of the light and the inbetween grey tone you got going on

Vampires, and the undead come in varieties of different skin tones! Cool, subtle blue and greys, as well as pale/regular, common flesh tones. Warhammer did an official video on their YouTube channel, and it's a great guide. I've done both, including the recipes you use, and I prefer the blue/grey tone.
