you are welcome I would have done that for the tutorial but the files are really massive per render that's why I didnt do it ;c
the tutorial alone was about a 18mb upload

alekSparx In reply to Jao-we [2012-04-21 01:20:29 +0000 UTC]

well the flares are originally made in adobe after effects but you can download flares from google

just type in "optic flare render pack" into google and you will find results I promise you

I'm still trying to get my chops back on Illustrator' it's been about 10 years so I'm REALLY rusty. So I don't really mind it.

alekSparx In reply to Charelzzz [2012-04-21 01:31:48 +0000 UTC]

haha oh wow 10 years! I started to photoshop since 2009 but never got that hardcore into it until mid 2011 o:
illustrator isn't really the program for me unfortunately, I find it bland and boring although I would LOVE to learn how to create amazing vector art but hmm... pen tool is just not my style with design
