Agreed, it doesn't look too much like real lava, it ended up looking more like boiling soup in the end, but I'm happy with the result (my miniatures tend to have a dark tone to them)
I used a few pictures of lava flows for reference while I was painting as I was going for a (as Mr Babble puts it) "darkly cooling" look - the theory being that in real life lava is so hot that you can't get near it, while in fantasy and/or sci-fi people build castles, temples and spaceports directly into/on top of active volcano. The crystals at the side of these pools also imply that the lava cooled to quite some degree. Yea the lava will still burn your characters to death on contact, but they can still get relatively close to it without too much harm coming to them.
