The Sword

This portrait of my son was a bit of a challenge to make (and alot of

fun). The flames are actually real (for the most part). We coated boards

with flammable liquids and then set them on fire (outside of course). He

held the boards at a similar angle as the sword and I shot away. I then

took the best looking flames and applied them to the sword edge. The

fun part was blending the three flames together. Your comments

appreciated.

You did a great job here, the effect of the flame add a lot of great interest to the composition, thank you for sharing it and wishing you all of the best my friend.
