Pumpkin Bomb

Didn’t make a lot of art lately, so though it’d be fun to do a Halloween themed one.

Hi, Niels. Could you please explain how you create such a cool water splash effect? I can’t even figure out if they are sprites or meshes?

I don’t recommend this for professional work, but I just went looking for pictures of water splashes against a black background. Cut those out and cleaned them up with a soft brush in krita.
The final splash is a combination of those pictures on a few growing sprites and a bunch of gpu partices that are about the same size as the details in the original pictures and the same color.
