Curtain Call

A little Redraw because I really liked this panel!

When it came out, the panel was really gritty and I thought he was dancing Flamenco haha. Turns out he's about to bow down. Dramatically.
Ngl there isn't much to say because I feel very comfortable drawing in blues.

The "explosion" itself is done by CSP Tools. One which is meant to do some Manga-like lines and one Decoration Brush for cracks! These combine with my usual way to draw fire and it looks like this. I tried to draw a few burned spots and blue ember on the edges of his Kimono, but because of the other layer settings it's all a bit blurry.

Sometime ago I started to draw his staples and all the other metals orange, so it looks like they are glowing because of the heat. I really like this touch, not only because it gives the viewer a bit more context (like - he's super hot (no pun)), but the warm colors make everything pop even more against the cool colors!
Normally I draw them orange when he's in "Zombie Mode" but I guess considering what the people said about him and the increasing temperature, he's definetly hot enough in this panel even with skin attached haha!

The WIP is a bit cropped, because it's not my usual formatting, but you still get the idea!
