#but the red glowy lava is still uhh white

[avanii]

Shamelessly crossposting this WIP from my insta stories. It’s been weeks and I still haven’t coloured the lava bits oops, sorry Pahoehoe you gotta be patient a little longer 😅

#geology monster #volcano monster #pahoehoe #lava beast #based it on slabby pahoehoe if we want to get real specific #I found some photos and videos of that kind of lava and how it both reflects ambient light but also generates its own? Super pretty #also scary af to paint #gotta do a few more studies first I think #at this point I did paint the crusty bits a nice dark basalt grey #but the red glowy lava is still uhh white #might not have the peace of mind to paint tricky subject like this till after I get back from my Iceland trip hah #traditional art #avanii’s art
