I have very vague memories of Dormammu as a kid, I believe it was either a Fantastic Four story, or perhaps just reading about the character in The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe (oh boy did I love those books). I just leaned into the ambitions of the character who some have characterized as being on par with Galactus for power. Had some fun with this overall. What’s not to love about an omnipotent being with a flaming head?

Easy to go wrong with something with as intense of a light source as fire. I tried really hard not to overwork this. Really deep reds and oranges are not in my normal wheelhouse of colours I choose to work with, but I had to embrace it. I think it turned out pretty decent and liked the way some of the highlights and glows turned out!
