My attempt at Custom Lava

[Draconious]

So far just the Molten Tiles... I am going to use Marvel Asphalt for Lava Rock tiles... with slight slits of lava showing through, heck I dont even have to paint them all with lava...



The photo reveals a few flaws.. where I was testing the red paint, and the fact that I missed some of the cracks, were white is showing through.

This was easier than it looks...

Great job. That lave looks really nice and really real.

Just one question: It looks like you´ve painted them all together, not tile by tile. What happens if you put them together in a different arrangement?
Do they still fit together (optically)? What I mean: It seems as if you´ve painted the yellow and orange areas over 2 or 3 tiles - over the edges. So what happens if you turn some of them around?

I love custom lava, and yours is really good. It may look different in person, but where you think there are flaws in not painting in between all the cracks, I think it looks like glowing lava.

It looks fantastic. Great job.

Great work.

Am I the only one that's not seeing any pictures here?

No, I'm not in discreet mode.

[Draconious]

Thanks...

This just happened to be a test of how it would look if I did them all together... (the lazy way).
This second photo shows them scrambled up...

I am not sure if I like it or not...


I need to at least redo it because I covered up all my middle orange layers with the darker colors too much.

As for photos loading, its a BIG 1200 wide image... give it time to show up .

The page said it was done loading, but they are showing up now. This computer (where I work), is pretty iffy sometimes so I wasn't sure what was going on. Those tiles do look fantastic though. I share the same concern as Gidian that they might look not as great when you break them up, but I'm willing to keep an open mind. Either way, they look awesome!

Very impressive! The variations in color, which you would see in real lava due to temperature differences, really give it a "dangerous" and realistic appearance. I wouldnt want to move my figure on one of those hexes!!
Great job.

They look great. I want to do something like that, but I'm afraid I'll screw them up.

What happended on your second picture is what I thought. On pic one, the different shades of yellow and orange look really harmonious and everything fits perfectly together. It´s a big lake of lava. On pic two, it´s all mixed up and you can see the edges of every tile so you lose the harmonic look what´s a great pity. Maybe you´ll find a way to fix that.

Nevertheless, you´ve done a very good job.

Renquist made lava similar in idea to yours and pulled off the choppy look quite well. All his other stuff is fantastic as well.

Everyone should give a look:
