JC , Step away from the bonfire . Lol . Sorry Bud , But I cant believe Your pulling that stuff off From any DVD,s Or. Whatever ( Not that You ever said You Did ) . & Trust Me thats a compliment. But You Definatly have the Knack to Reproduce Very Realistic fire IMO. & I Know how much beer it takes to get it Right In My Mind. But I Doubt I could do anywheres as good as You do. Your a Natural.

At first it looked nice, but your close op pic really shows the feel you have for painting fire... no real beginning and not an end to it, just moving flames behind the letters ( very nice flow) if I have to pick something to point out that could be better ...is strength of the colors other than that bad ass work

Been watching your fire threads and they just keep getting better and better, vatos and mob should be on the edge when you are around :) I just live to far away to be wurryd

take care, and I know what you mean when you say you are addicted to painting fire :wink2:

i really appreciate everyones relys as they have helped me with my obesssion ,,to get where i am today and i say thank you whole heartedly.

Wow ..is all i say.thank you very much tomas..your post has put a huge smile on my face in appreciation,,,,you and myself have taken the regular "true fire" and have warped and demented it into something we can call our own...
i only strive to get to be as good as mob ,,vatos and yourself,,as i digg what your doing with your style of fire...
mob and vatos have nothing to worry about...lol there both masters in my mind...
yes my colors need to be stronger..im not too sure how to fix that as i have tinkered with it..the yellow often overpowers so i back off on it near the end..still learning a long way to go still.....
so thanks again all
cheers

You did good here, I allways lurk in here to see what you guys are painting...

what paint do you use... I use HOK and E´TAC if you use HOK hit the colors strong and darken them with kandy... but be carefull with your last yellow and white you dont want them to be to strong. I have done pale fire to, I was afraid to hit it hard but dont hold back untill the last two steps ;)

good luck // Tomas
