After some feedback from the good folks on the /m/ boards, I tried changing the hair to fire instead of the razor metal, and while this is pretty raw, I think the effect is overall positive. Thoughts?
I like it too. I've decided to invest the time in a new pic, one where I can plan out some of the colors better. This was just a quick recolor to test a suggestion. Know any good fire painting tutorials?
I don't unfortunately but Youtube might have something along that lines.
