    Gohanf22 thanks for your complements, I appreciate it!

    Moni-Poroni Thanks! Glad you like my fire!

    I have been working on refining his body and silhouette the of the flames, and just started textureing. I have basically just blocked in basic colors. Here is a little render test.

    I think that it needs to glow. Maybe with the fog and an alpha you create some warm atmosphere around it.

    The flame's looking great so far. I think if you add the glow/ haze in the final render he'll look very fired up!

    maxinkuk, SolidSnakexxx thanks, I will definitely add some glow to the final image. I am planning to try a few different things with the fog and a few in photoshop. Hopefully he will really look like his on fire in the final render!

    spimmy thanks, I am glad they are starting to get the point across.

    This is looking great harmonic!

    Have you thought about putting any blue, or even green into the flames?

    This piece just keeps looking nicer and nicer, keep it up!

    Sweet flames. And that color test looks really great. Just play up the lighting like in that flame test and the final image should look great.

    AVTPro thanks sculpting the muscles has been a cool experience, and they look darn cool too!

    gregoconn thanks for compliments, I think blue and green is a great idea! I will play with that in my nest poly paint session.

    Seavannah thanks for saying that it is appreciated!

    Marsyas thanks, I appreciate your words. I will definitely use the material from that flame test in the final render in one of the passes on the fire. Should look sweet!

    More poly painting and playing with materials. I thought this mat gave some interesting results.

    Very interesting look. I do notice some of the flame polygon's a bit low. But overall still looking great.
