still trying to paint a ta bird in fire

this is my second attempt on this my first was much worse so im improving a little. now to figure out how to do the head. its killing the thing.... maybe ill do a realistic head on the burning body that may be cool.... oh well this is painted on a door to my cabinet no clear yet. ive got 9 more doors so i will be doing this one again to try to improve. i may do all the real fire first and clear then come back and do the bird it may come out even better and then i don;t need to detail the bird that much... well see pleanty more paint in the cabinet and now that my heater is running its comfy in the garage.

The eye is too big and the nose is goofy, but goddamn that looks great.

PS if you ever wanna practice on a sheet of white canvas I'd be more than willing to take it off you're hands.

Looks good, but like you and the person above mentioned the head needs work. The rest of the thing is awesome. Keep it up the work its looking good.

Work on getting the head figured out.

Than do lite flame licks behind the head and tween the wings on top.

Make fire come from the mouth instead of changing colors.

Also try and make the line not so disticnt from the thirdgen style bird to the outer 2nd gen style.

Make the lines more subtle like their combined if u lok at it right but no definitive line

Pretty damn *** flamework though

later
