Flames/Explosions
 

Hi,
Has anyone done a basic tutorial on this?
I want to do some flames for a picture I have planned, just wanted to know what would be the best start off for me?

It's none joe related my project, however i'm sure people would benefit from it on here., any fans of the firefighting joes such as Barbecue or Charbroil might think they can come in handy then of course there are the TNT Heads such as myself for demolitions..
Cheers in advance to anyone that can help :D

I did this one on explosions a few moons ago;

As for flames, Paint Shop Pro has a tool called "Tubes" that paints on weird little effects...one of them happen to be flames. If you don't have it, you can try JoeCustoms, they have a link to a JoeWiki that has a "Flames" file for Photoshop that you can cut and paste onto a pic.

hope that helps!!
