I mean... it can be better

Test 1 and 2

I tried doing a molten metal (novice painter maybe 8 months) Was super unhappy with the red metal look. Wasn't vibing with the model esthetically. Poorly done.

Slept on it. Did a warp fire glow real fast the next day.... while I like it and will ultimately roll with something similar in the future. I need help improving the technique

In my defense there was a lot of paint on the barrels before the warpglow. Strippinh probably would save me some detail. I used red, mixed an orange and a darker yellow for the molten red (my paint kit is limited I mix for what I need)

I painted over it all white the next day. Did a dark green contrast with a watered down yellow green to a neon yellow. Frosted the tip with a dry brush white and more neon yellow. In haste, had Easter brunch to attend. So I know some coats were a tad tacky.

Can anyone share your warpglow/molten metal techniques that may help me?
