Description I never upload several images in a row.
This is an exception, because is holding a contest.
She provided this image



for those who are interested: you can work on it and maybe itΒ΄s you who wins the prize!.
I am taking part mostly because Rezzan is a good friend and she was really eager that I did something. So here you are, Rezzan...

I wasn't sure if I would have time during the week to do something, so I thought I'd better work on it today. This took me not more than 3-4 hours. Quite different from what I use to do (I am usually on the magical, nice side).
I have no clue why. It just happened...

Anyway, let's hope the fire doesn't reach the tree!

Textures used:
-
-

Stars:
handpainted on a black background with a natural brush, in several layers of different opacity. Then I added a gaussian blur and masked the final product to make them show only on that corner. Not easy, but fun.

I also used lots of layers with different gradients.

Muy impresionante! Realmente me gusta el aspecto realista de un incendio. Con la vista de las estrellas tambiΓ©n la imagen es perfecta!

Eres el primero en mencionarlas... En Valizas (donde vacaciono) hemos visto incendios. Y de hecho, cuando son lejanos, las estrellas se ven. Parte del cielo estΓ‘ iluminado con la luz del fuego, y los colores son tan variados!
Para dar la sensaciΓ³n de noche, me pareciΓ³ bueno agregar las estrellas !!
Gracias Kevin !!

you blend your layers in such a delicate way that seem to melt together, & you can almost feel the heat from the fire.

So glad you came check, dear Haruka! I tried so many things in between and discarded so many textures and options... glad that you get the feeling of what I finally came up with!

Looks kind of space like to me A nebula tree on the planet Kilos-7 breathes life into the universe

Beautiful!

You made me laugh, John...
I do like space and Sci-Fi... one of these days I certainly SHOULD try something of that, for a change
