Fire King

I had a fun time doing this. I used a smear brush to make the fire come out from the face. Then I saturated it.

Very creative, Sandy! I love it!

Ooh! Spectacular image Sandy! Really like this. I might darken the face a bit and maybe brush some of the original detail of the mane back into the streaky parts. Super work!

[Judy Howle]

Sandy, Big welcome to OOTB! Great first post here. Nice job with the smear-it looks like you used the Liquify tool. I like the way you added some additional saturation with out going too far. Nice job, I am looking forward to seeing more of your creative work.

Thank you all for your wonderful comments. I will try Kerry's ideas and see how it comes out.

Sandy, welcome to OOTB This is a wonderful concept and I love the results. I hope we see a lot more of your work.

I was gonna say that there is too much contrast between effect/no effect. Therefore Kerry's suggestion is an excellent one.
