Description I've been messing around with making fire on CS2 at school and I found this is the best way to make it. Doesn't mean that you have to do exactly what this says because art is not step by step instruction, it's expression. This is the tools and stuff I use for it though. XDDD

Have fun! And if you have any questions or suggestions on this please note me or ask me in a comment.

Edit: ~Suilee suggested using the liquify filter for the same effect. Thanks! ^___^
Edit: (11-9-05) I changed the text. I guess I'll never use that font again. I also lightened the color. I hope it's easier to read now! XD Sorry for the inconvience.

Awww. You are welcome. It's just a mastery of the smudge tool. Try doing a smoother curves that are different sizes and like making it fast at the end to have a small tip. If you have a higher grade of photoshop, the less there will be random colors in there too. ^_^

Suilee In reply to ??? [2005-11-08 05:54:11 +0000 UTC]

This is soo kool! fantastic idea- just wanted to know.. would using "liquify" give the same effect?
Thanks for creating

windancer53 In reply to Suilee [2005-11-08 19:06:38 +0000 UTC]

Yw. Hm... I never tried the liquify. I'm not too experimental on filtering lately, because everytime I try to do it.. my computer pop-ups that This program has done an illegal operation" jazz. I will add that to the description though. I'm glad this helped. ^_^

lucky. at my school, not only does the fact stand that they use macs, but they only let you do school work! i cant even check my own email! i have to use the schools email to email things to myself! they dont let you install things that help them either, let alone something that helps students!

my school digusts me

my school -> <-me
yes, the people that run my school are oblivious morons and i wish they'd die. except for one or two teachers that dont suck.

gaah... so lucky.
if they had us persue(sp?) our career choices instead, id be going a lot better.. im stuck in middle school for the time being, its my last year, though. so im happy about that, mebbe my highschool wont be so bad, we will have actuall electives instead of "electives" where they elect it for you.

windancer53 In reply to demonic-me [2005-11-04 15:13:42 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. ^__^ I love going to an art school. I just got my painting that's in my gallery called "Travel my the Moonlight" displayed. I'm so happy. You'll find out what you want to do soon enough if you don't already. I changed my mind like 3 different times until I said I wanted to be an animator. XD
