Default True Fire paint job!!!

Ok well most of you saw my first attempt at the true fire on a test panel. Here is my second attempt on a motorcycle. The colors in the pictures really dont show up well at all. Cant see the deepest reds or the oranges. Definately looks much better in person, but i am going to see about having the pictures retaken with a better camera and see if i cant get the colors to come out better. I will post new pics if they turn out.

Wow that is one of the best compliments i have had yet lavallee is the man when it comes to painting real fire. Yeah it is mine and this is my 2nd attempt at the fire let alond the 2nd time i have used an airbrush. I have a ways to go to refine some of my skills with it but the layout came out nice. I guess i will just have to paint my TA to prove its my work.
