Default practice flames

I just spent the last couple hours puting flames on my roof before I cut it off. Which one do you all like the best? I did the top one with a stencile the bottom right side I did looking at pics of fire and painting what I saw and the bottom left I did free hand. I am undecided. My wife likes the top and the bottom left. If I cant decide on these then I will put traditional old school ghost flames in the rallies.

I like the whole bottom panel. you got some painting skills man. But if I personally had to choose, I'd go with the bottom left.

I like all of it its flames if your going for the true fire look its harder but well worth it in the end.

I am going for the real fire look. The top is a design that I saw in a car show. It didn't turn out like the pic I took but it still looks kind of cool any way. This is my first real attempt at painting flames free hand. The only other experience that I have with flames is I painted traditional flames on my exploder. I would like to make them a little more subtle though. They still pop out a little too much. I am going to try to paint my candy purple over the top and see if that fades it out a little more. I was thinking about playing with pearls to tone it down some. What do you think about that. I have never tried to use pearls though.

Bottom right for me. You did a great job on both so it wouldn't matter which one you choose.
