just throwin this in here.



It's a watercolour of cacame on a throne, surrounded by magma, of course.
It's supposed to be inside of the cacame colossus's head, sort of like a cockpit I guess.

EDIT: i just noticed the floor is lopsided.

Its pretty good considering I only used one brush size and changed up that one picture of cacame by eye, thats also the third body type i thaught would look good for egngun, still dont like his chest and tail, GCS chitin loincloth or his limbs really, i think i'm ganna move his bady back some also...he needs much more work then cacame who besides fine detailed line tweeking and a lower cloak edge is pretty much finished...

Also nice watercolor, I've never done watercolor, is it difficult?

I find it easier than acrylics, but more complicated than sketching. The medium only really works for certain styles though, and is kind of easy to smudge.

By the way, nice work on egngun's cape

Magma generally needs to be darker then blood just above a turn/fall and more towards bright orange slime when falling and cast a slightly brighter then blood glow...so its probablly blood, intended to be magma...

yeah, it was intended to be magma, but the red paint became less vivid when mixed with water, and the end result does look more like blood. I tried adding yellow, but it wasn't really visible.

You realize of course that waterfalls of blood are even more badass than waterfalls of magma.

If a little gross.

This is generally accepted how magma looks, and yes its done in mspaint in less than 5 seconds, and apearently comes from nowhere...

And smelly. Do you 'ave any idea how bad large quantities of unrefrigerated blood smells*? Think of going to a butcher... And then imagine they didn't have freezers.


*Yes, I do. I was running a dissection workshop once.

I imagine that you would have problems with crust buildup.

How about... giant vats of burning blood? Cacame is so hardcore, I can see him burning blood as incense.
