Flame colibri (smudged)

[Vaporizer]

Okey, tell me what you think. I'm going to improve it.
But I just want to know if it's worth it! (this is resized as a preview)

It's okay. It'd prefer more shading and stuf too the middle it doesn't look liek fire, because fire isn't white in the middle it's orange and yellow and red just the the outside.

I agree with papa. But the effect overall is well executed. Looking forward to what you end up doing with it!

[Ptka]

Yeah, Papa hit the nail on the head. The inside isn't great but the outside looks awesome. I would love to see something like engulfed in the fire, with the flames spewing off the canvas.

agree... It's a cool effect.. esp smudged

[Vaporizer]

Yeah, I know about the middle, I'm working on it still =)
I'll try do my best to make it as realistic as I can. Though I'm not so good on lighting and such, so I'll just leave it black in the background I think. i've never studied art or something like that, I'm just selflearned, and learnt with tutorials on the internet. =PThis what I created here was just the base, I've been like, moving the pen in wavy movements for 1 hour or so, and it hasn't been retouched anywhere.
Thanks for the critique and advices. =)

I would use some large, soft brushes to get some lighting around it onto the canvas. This will make it seem as though it really is giving off light.

Also - Heat goes up, not out!

I'm working on that stuff.
Though I'm a smartass not to save the PSD-file -.- So I'm working from a unchangable base wich is making me nuts.
Perhaps easier to start over. It would make it easier...
