Previous>>3355481
Somehow, instantly, Thorax knew what he was looking at, and he abandoned his yeti form. As the blue magic dispelled around his damaged body, Thorax spat a bit of blood out before he bore his fangs and charged his horn, ready for a new fight and another victim of vengeance.
“You…. You did this to me.” Under the glow surrounding his horn, some of the polish began to erode, revealing a metallic shine. “I guess there wasn’t enough of that gunk to kill either of us last time. This time I’ll drain you before I before I crush you.”

Wow, again with the changeling edits needed. This one took me so much longer than I thought it should have. Part of the problem was how dark the light was. Normally that makes it easier to hide mistakes, but I was trying to add in details wi the cracks and crystals, so it all worked against me. Then, when adding in the glow for the magic around the horn, that ended up masking so much of the metallic texture that I finally got to work properly that I felt cheated out of all the effort of getting the shit to turn out the way I wanted it.
Also, like I mentioned in the notes of a previous picture, black crystals are stupid hard to get right without having all black, and that’s on top of a character already all black due to his carapace in a dark fucking cave. So, I hade to give them a little color from the ambient lighting around so the stupid things could even be seen, on top of them already being hard enough to render/adjust in as another other than a sharpie scribble smeared with whiteout or some of the reflective blues and greens from Throax’s eyes and horn.
Overall, though, I did like the way this one turned out.
