0 Schmoove Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 Blend a couple of red-yellow gradients. And maybe add a wave filter to it, some twirls might help too. Maybe you want to download KPT Effects, it's a Photoshop plugin that has an excelent feature called "Gradient Lab". You can create the most amazing things with it.

0 mat987 Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 heres another theres tons of diff ways to make stuff like this depending on what you want. for this i just did a gradient, twirled it, then did a wave filter....added some glass, then added a red/orange gradient and set it to color mode.

0 mat987 Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 (edited) and some fire. set bg to black new layer make a jagged selection from bottom fill it with red - orange gradient distort> shear it flatten image rotate image add wind rotate back smudge where neccessary this is 3 min of work, obviosuly if you take your time you can make it nicer :) edit// by the way, when you make somethin that is gonna be avatar size...start out at somethin like 200x200 pixels, then scale down to 80x80 or whatever when your done.

Indeed, that is basicly Super Sampling Anti Aliasing :) It gets rid of jaggies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
