My favorite of this batch is your Perfomante. I have also been thinking about how to make black flames work... that's it right there! I also wanted to make this design style of yours work, and now you've done it. That is having big flames blending, more like an actual fire. I have not seen anyone else doing what you are doing! If you have access to Patterns and Gradients you could add some blurring and smoke effects if you wanted to. However that is really awesome as it is!!

I like how you used black as the front or top color, it ads definition. Then the greys and whites add effect without the theme of flames being lost. So it's busy, but not messy. That is a hard balance to strike and you did it great!

I'll be addressing Patterns and Gradients in video 3. Just getting to the editting on video 2 now. Been having trouble as it kept getting WAY to long. I kept having clear the vinyls and start over. Lost time and designs is frustrating. I now figured out how I can get the content and tips in, without it getting too long.

Photo tip : I see the words are sometimes getting on top of your cars, so I thought I'd share this tip. Touch the screen with 2 fingers as if your doing a "pinch zoom". Now you can slide the car around within the picture window. I usually slide my cars up a bit past being centered, so that I can then clip out the words later. It tends to zoom a bit in and out as you do this, Just get the positioning right, then mess with the zoom bar on the right. Better to be to far out than to far in, since you can always crop the photo with an external app in your gallery. I have to do a video on capturing awesome auto art later, easier seen than explained.

I have been thinking about a Bruce, Vincent, Frank... or just a "Monster Vinyl" tutorial. Hard to keep that one short though. It takes a lot of patience and work to get all those teeth right. However it's another cool thing you can do even if you aren't fully upgraded. My first version of Bruce was done with only the 4 basic vinyl shapes. Fully upgrading him added some camoflouge levels. He actually looks best on standard paint or even matte. I mean, when have you ever seen a high gloss shark?? Just looks wrong! Anyhow, I now know how I can do it, but I need to get the flames ones done before the next update!

Nice work on those flames!
