This morning I was messing around with making gore and this is what came out. I used granola cereal. I was think about using a piece of a raisin as a brain too. lol

Not sure that it looks like gore, the shape is a bit too abstract. More recognisable tubes or organs would be more convincing. Good start though, the raisin-brain idea has some mileage.

Ya I see what you are saying. It kinda looks more like whats leftover at the butcher now. :(

Looks pretty good... My only critique is that if you are wanting it to look like a body of something in particular you might want to find some bits to add so it doesn't just look like a pile of blood and muscles. But overall the effect does look really gory and gruesome, so good job on that front.

A tip if you're working with foodstuffs:

Remember food remains food, even when painted...

A friend of mine discovered a whole army of worms in his cereal bases a while ago, so make sure you use enough varnish to make it inaccessible for pests.

I was going to suggest the same thing fiddler has It looks pretty good, but bare in mind this is food, especialy if it's a gaming model, cereal is pretty flimsey, you don't want it to break :(

If you mixed in some arms, heads or other little bits of body it would be much more obvious that it was a pile of gore. The familiar body parts would clue you in to what the rest of it represents (ie giblets!).

You certainly have the nucleus of a good idea it just needs a little more work.

It could work depending on the mini that go's on the base.

With so much flesh, I doubt the grass would just have a splash of red. Id put a ton of blood on the base. Maybe gloss it as well for that fresh kill look.

+1 for more limbs.

Surprisingly visceral. The scale, however, is somewhat problematic. For chunks that big, you'd expect to see some identifiable parts. It might work for a monstrous creature that recently exploded, but that looks to me like 90% of a guardsman, with none of the expected giblets. A man is but an assemblage of organs, be they in their proper relative positions or not. I'd advise either restricting these chunks to representing coarsely ground Squiggoth, or trying to find a smaller medium with a similar texture to represent more finely blended man-sized parts.

Not really gore, looks kind of like butchered meat that someone has got grass and dirt on.

Thanks for the tips guys, like I said I was just messing around and thought it looked cool. I deffinitly have a good idea for the next time now.
