And I say this because it’s related to my experience with the colors I suggested. You said it’s very bright based on this representation, I was giving another example of my opinion about their references here.

I didn’t say it was, I said it’s not faithfully rendering the image shown. I realize it’s pictures taken of test squares, but they also acknowledge some of the colors are off, hence the key at the bottom. There is no such thing as a perfect digital image, I’m saying this one is off, that’s all.

Side note, I disagree with that palette’s rendering, blood angels is several shades more orange than shown there.

In my experience it’s thin enough it’ll blend very well with the yellow if you use both, maybe with some medium if it’s still too bright. Just a personal preference rec tho, try just the yellow over brown and tan, maybe that’s all it needs.

Contrasts are your friend. Magmadroth looks to be the right shade, likely mixed with iyanden

I need you to know how much it nourishes my soul to see someone else call it gcucks because my wife won’t let me lmao

settle down everyfuta 😿

If your next question is “where does the combusted oxygen go?”, the answer is it bonds to some of the carbon to form CO2, carbon dioxide, another gas which does not combust at traditional fire temperatures. You’ve heard of gas burning causing CO2 issues in the atmosphere? That’s where it comes from

I think you’re asking “what is in the physical space occupied by what I see as a flame”? If so, the answer is “actively breaking molecules and energy like photons (EMR) and uncombusted particles like carbon (ash and smoke) and the other gasses in “air” (mostly nitrogen) unaffected by the burn

The O2 molecules are being broken apart and replaced by other O2 molecules sucked in by the vacuum created by the combustion. If there is no catalyst like oxygen to fuel the reaction there is no fire.

The reason fires burn for so long is the combustible material (like wood) is so dense in molecules. Oxygen is extremely flammable but not dense enough to sustain a meaningful reaction. That’s why it explodes rather than burns.

Air, specifically oxygen, is the fuel that allows the process to continue. If you started a wood fire and then “picked up” the fire off the wood in a sphere of air, the fire would suffocate unless enough oxygen was replaced in the vacuum created by the combustion. So no, you couldn’t breathe it.

The visible (light) and invisible (heat) electromagnetic radiation given off by a violent exothermic reaction (combustion) caused by the breaking of molecular bonds. Smoke is the particles of carbon etc that don’t combust in the process.

You may however have Jurgen walk into the astropath chamber momentarily just to feel something.
