Explosion Sprite

Hey. I have this explosion sprite that I photoshop'ed just now. If you like it you can have it.

Nice, thank you. Would be more useful with transparency channel.

Yeah - can you convert it to png. Please?

There you go. Alpha channel added. :)

Well done, many thanks again. :-)

Good stuff! <grab> Thanks.

nice one, thanks!

i'm sitting on a school pc here and that pic above is censored!

That's weird. :)

Most likely the firewall just flags the hosting domain (tinypic.com) altogether because it also hosts some less suitable images.

I would use ImageShack or PhotoBucket but they are too slow.

Here is another one. I like this one better than the first. Slightly smaller (100px smaller)

Free to use.

That is cool!
What version of photoshop do you have?
what filters etc are you using?

Thanks.

5.0. I know, old version. :P

Um... 'Distort > Glass' and 'Blur > Radial Blur (Zoom)'

Those look cool. Thanks, Ked

Thanks Ked :D

2nd looks like a bang
1st kinda looks like a windows media visualisation ;)

Ked: Color dodge and radial blur do not create explosions. If you really want to make one look good, find out what a real explosion looks like. As-is, these look nothing like explosions; the first, at best, looks like the flash from a gun-barrel (stretching it) and the second looks closest to sparks, but that's also stretching it.

Again, look at real explosions.

Ouch...

*sniff*

I smell conceit. Please go away dude. Far, far away.

Thanks Noel, but I don't care.

What else was he going to call the topic? 'One gun-barrel flash and a spark?' I prefer 'explosion'... =P
