Jammer: Thanks for the constructive points - you're right, the flames don't look quite right yet - I've got to paint on the 'backwash' of light from the flames over the nozzle to try to make them look more real (no guarantees it will work!). On the tattoos - all you need is a very steady hand and a very fine pen!

Cheers Laney

That facial tattoo is great.

@jammydodger; I know what you mean. I think that when a flamer shoots(fires! he he) the flames kind of blossom out in a round shape and then goes upwards.
Like this:


No offense laney. I love your work and your paintingstyle is soooo cool

I see what you mean - I thought of this as the flame in the process of billowing out, rather in full blast. Maybe I need some proper cinematic effects from Armorcast - rather than just cutting off a brand from the empire flagellants!

I'll see what I can do on the final flamer.

Cheers
Laney
