@Hodge Thanks! Yes that is helpful, I'll see what I can do. I'm not sure I'm at your skill level yet but I'll try to use your reference. I found adding textured lines in the meat was the hardest as I attempted those lines like 8 different ways before I just used the water brush from Kimoi. There were some lines in the dark outer parts but I think those are only visible in the very large original file (but that's something I should probably consider that these markings are not visible when shrunk and probably should be more bold.) I'll def play witht he color and see if I can do something about the shape. I think the shape was influenced by some other refs tho.
I do want it to be rare as this is for mob bosses and such... and IDK blood seems fitting for that?
@TAMAnnoying uhhh IDK what cut of meat honestly. It's technically supposed to be horse meat and I don't know anything about horse meat other than it looks sorta like beef. The recipe for this dish is pretty simple tho, so I imagine it goes with most cuts.
@skicoak it's made by my MC, and the running gag(even tho near none of the readers have noticed) is that the food he makes always sparkles. The horse does not sparkle. To reveal anymore would reveal secrets/spoilers to my comic's sparkle physics.
