WIP Flame (Icon)

[busterkomo]

Just a flame effect I tried a few months ago. I found it on my HDD and decided to get some feedback.

 

[Linaze]

It looks quite cool, but imo it doesn't look like a flame to me. Looks more like some red shit burning like a flame.

 

[Xarwin]

Its pretty blurry in my opinion.
If it wasn't, it would look fine I guess

 

[busterkomo]

Thanks for the feedback, guys (+rep). I'm basically done with this icon. Do you guys think it's ready for approval?

 

[Pyritie]

Smuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudge abuse.

Definitely nowhere near approval-worthy.

It's ... all red

Erm. Looks more like smoke than fire, waaaaay too monotone. Needs some sharpening. And possibly even some freehand. How could a 2007 user have missed our zealous FREEHAND OR GTFO policies? HOW?

*sniff*

Things you could do better:
-Sharpen the flames.
-Add some Yellow/Orange inside the Flames.

EDIT:

Lol if you look long enough on one point at this icon, it moves xD ( no i am not drunken [I hope so xD])

Smuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudge abuse.

Definitely nowhere near approval-worthy.

I never used the smudge tool. Not once.

@Freehand comment
When dealing with icons, the rule is much more lenient than skins.

Not when the icon in question is disturbingly blurry. There ARE still standards to be upheld, y'know

looks like a cloud.
