OP you just made it look super cheap by painting it. Before it was looking myteriously expensive.

Who takes his vampire hunting seriously? You best thank me for every night you've made it home unexsanguinated!
Flyndaran
Mirrors reflect the "soul". Since demonic beings don't have souls, they wouldn't show up. They never explained why we see objects though.
Which is why that's bullshit. It's just reflected light.
[deleted]
=D It explains photography, too, since silver was once a component in film chemicals. So I've heard.
And it's said that the "silver" thing comes from Judas Iscariot.
Of course not. There are many mythologies that have nothing to do with Christianity.
And?
Ophieo
Shit... I can't see myself in this mirror.

why can't I find a cool ass mirror in the dumpster.. I like it pre and post paint, good job!
AngryHumanoid
Reverse vampire, has to home by sundown and can only be seen in mirrors or cameras, and loves garlic.
foxtale11
Has a over stalk of blood and gets massive noise bleeds if he doesn't inject people or donate
yugiben
So he also donates blood? But he still lives forever? Awesome.
Nope, sadly he dies forever.
Murdercorpse
OK, here's what we've got: the Rand Corporation, in conjunction with the saucer people, under the supervision of the reverse vampires 1/2
are forcing our parents to go to bed early in a fiendish plot to eliminate the meal of dinner. (2/2)
We're through the looking glass here people... (3/2)

Yes, he's a Re-Vamp. Just like that mirror.

Yes isn't it all just a little too convenient

I kind of liked the rustic look it had before it was painted. It has a very southwest-ish feel now (which is fine, just not my thing).
Chukapi
Both of them are ugly in my opinion. The previous was, as many have said, 'fake-vintage' whereas the afterwards looks tacky to me.

I Thought It Looked Like Some Badass Entryway To An Old, Lost Society.

I agree. The end product is good, but I did like the older look a little more.

I agree. If I had to paint it though I would have gone with one colour, something dark and rusty.

Well, he can look at the him from a few nanoseconds ago, at least. Reflect on that one a bit.

Agreed. Might have been cool with a dark stain though.

i tried that with my underwear...wasn't that popular
Ah, but did you try it with a gold ring?

Honestly I feel like it looked way better before. Now it looks like it belongs in a toddler's room

i thought he was just gonna go dark gold with it and make the sun looking part pop, it's a little too much now
BorderlineBoozehound
Yeah, I'd have probably just sanded it to clean it and used 22k gold leaf.

I would have painted it one color. Maybe dark blue or a dark green.

It's moving season in my town, couches and chairs freaking everywhere.
iwantashortnameforonceohshit
Why is that lazy? Assuming they put it outside, they likely had no use for it and wanted to be kind and give it away for free..
Many op-shops will pick up your stuff for free, rather than just leaving it on the nature strip to get vandalised or thrown away.
