Description The flames brush set has always been one of my most popular sets. I’ve seen some people do amazing things with it.

Similarly, one of my most popular questions is: “How do you make your flames brushes look like they do in your preview?”

Well, not only do I give you an in-depth tutorial as an answer, but I am also providing a tool to help make it even easier to achieve those realistic flames looks that you desire. Patterns!

I can't upload those patterns here to deviantArt, however, because they are HUGE, high-resolution images (that are completely seamless, btw). So, here's the links to the items that you'll need to follow along with this tutorial.

TOOLS NEEDED:
* Flames Brushes
* Flames Patterns

The flames brushes are the same ones that are up here on deviantArt, if you'd rather grab them here (or already have them).

Hope this helps, and enjoy!

This is an incredible tutorial and I've already fav'ed it, but the links for the brushes and pattern downloads on your site don't seem to work. I've tried 3 browsers.

[not these links...the ones on your site]

Shame because I would love to try this. Help if you can/will please. Thank you.

Off some references that I had of fire. These were pretty difficult to make, if I remember right!
