I like this tut. Very helpful and fun to make flames. I used the copper flame idea.

Nice tut. Here's my attempt, I took a picture of La Bourse in Brussels while I was on my studies and used the tut to turn it into a portal to hell :twisted:

I'm still tweaking it to get the right balance between layers.

Kudos to you, fellow artist; kudos to you.

GREAT tutorial! its very well explained! i dont think it could be any more clear! here is my work, you can really see it because my name is in the way but oh well.

Now this is a great tutorial! I added an extra layer of flames to it, so now it looks pretty cool, but also pretty weird I think.

ok i basically just got paint.net and im a total newb.

i have no idea how to do anything so please bare with me.

i can get the gradient fine,

then i create the new layer, and go to clouds, and put the blend mode at difference.

but it still looks the same, i try repeating the clouds efect but the places of the gradients just switch(black goes to top and white goes to bottom, and they keep switching everytime i hit repeat clouds)

Did you change the blending mode of the second layer to overlay?

Here's my pic- the third thing I've made in paint.net. It came out kinda the way I wanted it to... ... but what I'd really like is to put like a gold glow around the shadow of the dragon. If anyone could help me with how to do that, I'd be very grateful.

You could use the drop shadow plugin on the dragon. Make the color gold, make the shadow not be offset at all, and blur it a little.
