That is probably a 3DSM job.

Never mind I found out....he just inverted a picture of fire then did some airbrush work.

here is my attempt:

That's not your attempt. You just copied the avatar and resized it...

 

[Klostrophobic]

Yeah, he just inverted this image:

It's the same fire, if you pay attention to it carefully

 

[skylineGTR_guy]

yeah thats exactly what I wanted to do was take that image and turn it all blue...it works pretty good with all fire images buy the one Klostrophobic posted was the best fire pic I could find on google.

UM yeah sure...Like I can really make an image four times it's size without it being all pixelated..

Just go to google image search and look for "fire" it's on the first page.

yeah thats what I did then all you do is invert it!

 

[Klostrophobic]

When inverted it looks like some blue fluid that has been injected into a white liquid and is slowly dispersing.

Cool!

I tried to find some other pictures but this on looks the best becasue the top has ths cool pointy look to it....I wonder what it would look like if you did it to a flame thrower....
