project

[decrepit paint]

Well body work has been kinda slow so I decided to do a little project on top of my toolbox. This is my second attempt at fire/flames. It has a skull in the flames, and some unique playing cards. Not finished yet, let me know what you think.:callme:

Not bad for your second try, Decrepit. I'm by no means an expert, not even a practicing newbie, but I would give you this tip: Always think about which direction the flames are traveling. The points of the flames will never flicker in the opposite direction of the flow (the engineer in me, sorry). One site I visited said tohave a few pcitures of actual falmes helps you understand the nature of flames. For instance: below the King the flames seem to square off, and pull back in the reverse direction.

Hope this is helpful.

Very nice for a 2nd! My flames always look like smoke hehe, we all have to practice till we drop LOL. You'll get it right, just do 100 murals more hehe

Nice to meet ya btw.

nice for the 2nd try.. I agree with flames in the same direction.. and pull the stencil up off the project gives a softer look..
