Citadel Shade: Seraphim Sepia (18ml) – 2022
A warm sepia-brown wash that flows into recesses to create natural-looking depth and shadow—amazing for bone, parchment, cloth, leather, and “dusty” weathering without going too dark.
 
What it does
Settles into crevices to draw out details with realistic shading.
Dries with a smooth matt finish (great for natural materials).
Water-based formula in an 18ml pot.
 
How to use
Paint your base colours and let them dry.
Apply Seraphim Sepia so it flows into recesses.
If it pools on flat areas, wick away excess with a clean brush.
Let it fully dry before re-layering/highlighting.
 
Best for
Bone, skulls, horns, teeth (warm definition)
Parchment, scrolls, purity seals
Leather, cloth, straps where you want a natural aged shade
Quick “dust/grime” tone on light stone and terrain edges

ChalkyDot Tip: For super-clean results on parchment/bone, use Seraphim Sepia as a targeted wash (only into lines and recesses), then re-layer your base colour on the flat areas—instant definition without staining the whole surface.
