Muzzle Flash!

Recommended Posts

It's a fairly simple process, like painting fire but on a much smaller (meaning 'faster') scale with less colors needed (also faster).  Paint fire opposite how you paint most other things.  Most of the time, we paint recesses are the darkest and edges are the brightest.  This is inverted in the case of fire, where the recesses should be white (or close to it) and transition from yellows to oranges the farther out you go from the recesses.  With fire you typically want to fade even further into reds and even black at the very tip, but muzzle flashes are not quite the same in that regard.

 

If it has pronounced contours, you can simply base white, drybrush yellow, drybrush lightly with a darker yellow/light orange, and do a final drybrush very lightly with a mid-orange shade.  You could also take your time and do it with patient blending and such, but for such a minor, tiny detail, drybrushing would make more sense to me.
