This is concept art for my video game. Kernel Kween, the most bad-ass corn cob in Maizeville, in some serious fire fighting, corn popping action.
She'll fight the flames and make them stop, She'll save her maize mates before they pop.
The flames were surprisingly hard to get right. It took 3 different colors, especially the blood red tips of the angry flames.
The corn cob looks so tasty 😋! Just a touch of white makes the kernels all juicy and delicious and ready to pop! I considered adding black outlines as well to give it a more comic book affect but it didn't fit.
I had to add two layers of flames to subdue the bright yellow and make the flames fuller. Thanks to Ajay's interventions with the curvy thickness of the red outlines the fire looks more organic and alive.
Initially, I'd planned a richer, redder, oil painting style background with darker hues of red as it moves away from the fire. But the dark brown helped the flames stand out even more.
What do you think of some corn popping action?
