I think you could probably improve the burn marks by having them go intowards the center more and maybe lees orange..

It looks brillianto ;P

Actually that blackening is pretty good Farsight.

Thanks alot. I really hate PSP as a graphics tool as It leaves miscolours on the outside of the lines and looks really, really, really..........., really bad. All I used was airbrush with colours.  

What I would suggest is to draw around the hole carefully with the polygon tool, then invert the selection, select the airbrush again, and fill in the white edges around the hole.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by that.

The orange, red, and yellow spray was actually supposed to be flames.
Picture without flames (updated)

Sorry I was confusededed ^_^

Anyways I think you should actually have only a really thin layer of burn marks..

Ok.
Here is the sign with thin burn marks:

Personally, I don't think it looks as good.

Here's my version:



I used the lighten/darken and dodge tools in Paint Shop Pro, although I think I overdid it...

Oh well. Feel free to use it if you want to.

I think that looks great!! I don't think I could have thought of anything better. Do you think I should add animated smoke/flames? If not I will go ahead and use that picture.

If you think that you could animate smoke and fire, then go for it. I'd put the fire right on that green grass in front of the sign; it looks sort of bare. But that's just me.

EDIT: Remember not to add too much smoke/fire... maybe just a few flames here and there.

Thanks Dart! I was wondering how to animate pictures and put them up on the net here. Everyone says you use gif files but I'm not sure how to put in multiple frames. Can anyone help. Once I find out I shall put an animated background up with flames, as I think they could use some C & C as well.
