Default Photoshop Opinion (not truck related)

i was just wondering if you like this technique im using for a fire effect on text. here is a "sample" i made today...the link is to the first time i tried this technique (yesterday). it may be quite offensive to some of you. it was by request from a friend of a friend for payback for something i am not aware of. it was requested and i was bored so i said sure. if you click the link, i dont want to hear stuff on anything besides if you like the technique of the text

sample.jpg

i like the text in this technique below better, however, i forgot the name of the text used (durr)

lol, im not thinking about making a decal for a vehicle. if you just glance, all you see is flames, but if you look closer, it is flames burning sticks in the shape and curvature of letters...therefore it has a real 3D effect

it looks good, however when clicking the link, it is a little hard on the eyes trying to read it.
But as to your question about the effect I think it looks great

just a fiery text. and a firehawk is a special edition formula or trans am...such as a camaro ss....both produced by the same people, firehawks had much lower production numbers, and stats are very similar. firehawks tend to be more desirable due to the exclusivity compared to the ss

this is one of the photos taken for a calendar shoot with my 93 firehawk (just got to brag, only 9k miles)....you can see where i got the firehawk formation from

Looks much better with more intensity, all of them look good though. It is a little bit hard to make out the letters in some spots.

shrpshtr thanks for the compliments. the car means a lot to me, its my most prized posession. rich, thanks for the honesty i appreciate it. i think i need to use a variety of different brushes when smudging and making the flames rather than the same sized ones, and maybe less flames...more like in the "sample" i made...anywho, i just learned it. i have time for perfection. any other ideas on texts i could make. who knows, maybe i could use it for a sig or something
