Like most of my creations with Flame Painter, it didn't start out with a destination in mind. And, the program seems to have a bug: there's a brush that it starts out with when you open it up, which isn't listed in the brushes menu! That's the one that did the smoke. I need to ask them about that: sent.
Once I had changed to the flames, I couldn't do any more smoke. But, thanks for asking -- because I just thought it through! Save it as a .FPA file (the Flame Painter format), exit the program, then run it again and open the .FPA file I just saved, and I'll be able to do more "smoke brush" strokes.
Anyway, after I did the smoke I did the flames. Several layers, each blurred to a different level. Then I did the starbursts, and a background star field (in white, then more above in red), and finally added some pupils, also blurred.
Before I got to the pupils I already had the name in mind, "Mine Eyes!", referring to the Battle Hymn of the Republic, which starts out with "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord."
I was trying to make a halo above, but the tool is really designed to make "random" shapes, not proper ellipses. Enjoy!
Gorgeous!
