Page one of a tutorial of sorts titled: "A study on golden blood (for JAGR purposes, might not apply outside it)." The first images are two splatters of fresh blood, one on each side, the left one red and the right one golden. Text in the middle reads: "when fresh, golden blood has a metallic shine to it". The next images show the two same splatters of blood, now dried in brown and copper respectively. Text in the middle reads: "as it dries, it oxidizes copperish and becomes dull". The final images are two 6-striped squares showing 6 different skintones ranging from white to very dark brown. On each of them there's a blush overlaid, pinkish red on the left one and golden on the right one, showing clearly on the lighter skintones and barely visible on the darker ones in both cases. Text in the middle reads: "blush is done with golden yellow/orange instead of pink/red and set to multiply (орacity might need adjusting)".
Page two of the tutorial. "Now onto bruising! I have no idea how to translate the way hemoglobin breaks down resulting into all the stages of a bruise's colour into golden in a sciency way, so I'm gonna do it in a colour wheel way!" The first images are two colour wheels from a drawing app. Each side has the areas that the text talks about marked. Text in the middle reads: "with red blood bruises start red/pink, darken into purple/blue, and fade into green/yellow. So with golden blood, bruises will start dark golden/orange, darken magenta/violet, and fade into blue/cyan (they should technically fade more greenish per colour wheel position, but i wanted to differentiate more from red blood)". The next images are two 6-striped squares showing 6 different skintones ranging from white to very dark brown. On each of them there's a series of bruises overlaid: one fresh, one dark, and one fading. On the left, the colours are those you would expect on an actual human, on the right how'd they look on someone with golden blood (as above described). On both cases, the bruises are clearly visible in lighter skin tones and barely visible on the darker ones (specially the fading bruises). The final images show two hands, palm to the viewer, backlit to show subsurface scattering. The one on the left has a red glow appearance, and the one on the right a golden glow one. Text in the middle reads: "last, but not least, golden blood also has an effect on the appearance of subsurface scattering, making its 'glow' appear golden rather than red (also please ignore my novice attempts at painting lmao)"
A study on golden blood
Because the god-touched in JAGR have golden blood as a reference to ichor and I wanted to make myself some refs xD
