hasn't been cleared yet,made with HOK.

[Jeroen - CDM]

It is missing bright red (first layer), at least if ya were after the 'real' fire look. I made that mistake too over & over. The flames look cool though, nice flow. Cheers!

I,m with Gordon, Not much like fire IMO . But I Sure Like it . Thanks for Showing .

[ABD]

Indeed same here...Might look better with more red, I dunno, I don't think more color would make it look any more "real"...But the layout ya got now is a cool version in itself ....good show!

[Whit]

Got a Great Flow to it,,, Lookin Good !!!

[el kolorante]

thanks guy's,I think I gone clear it tonight and leave it as is,doesn't realy matter though bike will be taken apart,again,this winter.next is front fender and tank,pic's will follow.

[XZOTIC INK]

I AGREE ITS GOT A GREAT FLOW:devil2:

[AndyW]

Yip like the flow as well.

[airdoom]

Nice flow but the color are off needs some red outside going to orange and yellow in the middle and small white highlight not too much or you will kill it. you're flame licks are outline with the yellow where the orange should be. then work with the yellow and white to end up in the warmest part of the fire (middle) which is yellow almost white. I've attach a ref pic so you can see what I mean. if you look closely at it you see the darker colors outside and the lighter color inside. Hope this will help

[el kolorante]

thanks airdoom,I was going to clear it but got home late from work,now YOU made me decide to start over .Like mike L.said;paint what you see and if you're guessing it will look like you we're guessing.that's the mistake I made,no reference foto used.

[Jeroen - CDM]

In a fire that's no prob. That way ya make you're own unique style... With graphics that's a whole other ballgame. I never used a rev from the biginning, paintin flames that is hehe:violent-smiley-010:

[airdoom]

Restarting is not a failure it's always end up better than before. The trick is to not do it the same way and try different thing.

CDM using some reference pic would help in achiving a more realistic fire (something that actualy mimic fire). Sorry CDM but you're fire got lots of improvement to be done to it and using a fire reference would definetely help. Having you're own style isn't necessary a good thing. take for example my daughter is 6 and when she draw she as her own style (always doing circle the same way, same looking tree...) She definetely has her own style but when I look at her drawing I tell her it's amazing even if I know that her style is awfull. Don't take me wrong CDM you're work is good but lots of room for improvement and if you don't use the tools you will always get stuck at the same level.

very nice like it to

[redanner]

Your flames look great el kolorante! There must have been tremendous amount of oxygen present so as not to burn without any reds or oranges!

[el kolorante]

thanks guy's, allthouhg it didn't came out as I planned to,I'm gonna clear it today and see how it looks.if I don't like it then sand it and start over.I'll post some pictures tonight.:drowning:

[mob33]

Hey El Kolorante! I just moved this post into the fire section, I think more people will be able to find it in there...hope your not too upset man!
The fire is looking pretty good! It's got a good flow to it, and the coloring is subtle, I like it. Keep it clean like that and you will turn some heads for sure!

[Cowboy]

Mob , You Only Moved His Original post instead of the Whole Thread Making whats left of the Original thread making No sense. I,ll just Post the Link in Here, & You can Do Whatever You see fit. Thanks.

[Cult airbrush]

El Kolorante I agree that they lack red but they are very good just like that :) Very nice colors and rendering!

[el kolorante]

[Jeroen - CDM]

I see what you mean. I thought the clear was goin to show the 'hidden' red. Real bummer man.

AWSOME clearjob btw!! Shiny little sucker!

[el kolorante]

AWSOME clearjob-- did it in the garage,not too bad though.doesn't matter gone sand and start over.

[mob33]

SORRY GUYS!!! I gotta learn how to do this moderating thing a lot better!
El Korante, i apologize man! I did NOT mean to 'confoos' anyone, so if there is anymore confusion, Its on me guys!
I think the fire looks good man, your freehand work is really good, I think real fire has turned a corner in the industry and more people are shying away from the super stenciled look, so I think with a bit more attention to the details, like the colr blends, and general shape of the flame licks, you have a winner there man!
