Artist's Comments
Finally!!
I had this image completed for a long time, but I was not happy with the former title (Dragoncall), so I asked the deviants about a suitable title. Thanks a lot to all the deviants who helped me with their suggestions. Finally I decided Fire Spell was a the right one. Someone (sorry, can't remember who) suggested Spellfire, so I tweaked it a bit. And sorry to all the people who suggested Burning Heart (seemed a popular title) but the flames weren't placed in the right place and the figure inside was intended to look like a dragon (hence the former title). Anyway, enjoy this pic, featuring  as the model. When I first saw the original pic (located here [link] ) I thought about making something related to Star Wars (Dani's pale face and the black robe reminded me of a female young version of the Emperor), and the w.i.p. title was "Sith Empress", but finally I decided to go for something more fantasy-related...My girlfriend always complained about the flame coming up from her head, so I made a special version without that flame, you can check it here [link] Just compare and tell me what you think. About 65 layers in Photoshop. The flame center was made using Apophysis (the "dragon" and some of the flames surrounding it). Please, full view and comment! Comments
 wow
 really good... i wish i could make those things... how did you do that? i'm not very good in working with computers and programs like Photoshop...   hot very nice.. have no further words then .. wow.
 -- Thnx for helping out ya all ^^ Be afraid to give feedback!  Very nice Idea, I really like it. The spell effect is just plain cool and the background is so fitting. Although I do not like how the trees are blurry, maybe sharpen them up a bit?
I dont like the text though, it is very big, and distracting and takes away from the actual picture. It would look ALOT better with just the border, which is really cool to bTW. And I like the no fire in the head version better as well  .Also, her face kind of sticks out alot, maybe darken it a bit? Overall, this is very good  Great concept and well executed. The colours and layout are very striking.
Excellent use of those layers to achieve the effect!!  Excelent man
 Bravo I can learn a lot about photomanipulation from U  I'm going to watch U  -- They say death kill's yet, death does not kill's.Insesnsibility and monotony kill's  NUCLEO-DON'T CLICK HERE  This is a thoroughly absorbing, even mesmerizing, image; very nicely done, and very original, too...
--  Thanks a lot
 --  [link]  Hear the call from below of an underwater world Land of Mu is close to the stars In the arms of the sea you will live as hypnotized Lemuria - Therion (Lemuria, 2004)  Muy buena. Me gusta como queda los rojos y naranjas en contraste con el azul del fondo aunque creo que algo de ese rojo debería reflejarse en la piel de la chica. Aún así sigue estando mu bien ^^
