FIRE GOOOOOD!! :up::up: Looks great. Makes me want too get mine out and play, but have too wait until it gets warm again.:devfrown:

[OvRiDe]

WOW!! Now that is sweet!! Looks like those lessons from Primo were well worth it!

[Zephik]

Hey! Your canvas is on fire! Quick, paint some water!

[Trace]

LOL!
Lookin' good dude! :up: here's some rep

[SgtM]

Thanks everyone. I'm please with the progress so far.

Man, I can't even say how much they helped! I had a basic understanding going in to the lesson, but he made everything click for me. I'm getting better. Now I have to work on proficiency.

EDIT
Here are the panels from the lesson.

That white one with the skull is effin sweet!

[SXRguyinMA]

yep, yep it is :D

[SgtM]

Thanks. That was a total accident by the way. I had no plans of putting a skull anywhere. I figured that would be another lesson. While I was painting, Primo said that he saw eyes in the fire, and told me how to build it out. I couldn't believe it myself when that came out of my airbrush.

[OvRiDe]

Well I think Bob Ross would call that a "Happy little accident", but I call it freakin amazing! Keep it up man, you will be doing commissions in no time!

[SgtM]

Thanks Curtis. I'm hoping to get some work from the guy I painted the xbox controller for. I have to do his PS3 controller next. He's gonna be showing them off to his friends.

[SgtM]

I've been practicing some more. This time traditional red fire on a spare side panel. I'm about 90% done with it.

[SgtM]

Here it is done and cleared. Still a little thin, but the shapes and layers are there now. I'll take a couple of pictures with my good camera (all of these were shot on my phone) when the clear is dry, and I'll sand it and go again!

[msmrx57]

Looks great!! :up: And those are pretty good pics for a phone.

[SXRguyinMA]

nice!

[x88x]

Wow, those really look great.

[SgtM]

Thanks everyone. This is something I've been struggling with for a while now. Although those licks are a little thin, the shapes and layers are getting much better. Here's some detailed pictures with my good camera. Obviously, the clear hasn't been buffed. I just shot one really wet coat, and let it dry.

I like it a lot, the thin streamers give it more of a free-flowing look than most flames I've seen, almost more of a plasma than flame, if that makes sense. I also like the the three small "shooting stars" on the left side, the flame segments with what look like heads, gives it a sense of motion.

:up:

I feel obligated to point out here....fire is plasma... :whistler:

Oh. Dear. God.

I have been out-nitpicked. I feel very inadequate right now.

Then my job here is done. ;)

OCD Man, away!

[SgtM]

So, I showed this to a coworker. I'll be painting his case soon. Worklog begins when I get the clear & the case.

Could not have said it better myself great job man

[SgtM]

Thanks OvRiDe and Liquid. At the risk of sounding like an ass, I do have to say that this is easily my best solo attempt yet. (Compare to http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f186/sgtm_usmc/airbrush%20stuff/DSC03077.jpg and http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f186/sgtm_usmc/airbrush%20stuff/DSC03848.jpg.) I'm gonna keep practicing. I already have another panel in black base.

[Liquid_Scope_99]

Man i love that green it makes it pop to me :banana:

[SgtM]

Believe it or not, that's yellow. In light coats, it has a green hue.

[slaveofconvention]

Rick, got $3 to spare - think I may have found a "must have" item for you....
