here is a simple tut that should hopefully help some of you people who have trouble getting fire to look nice

Note: i never actually mention anywhere that it was for spriting LF2-style flames. There are already a few. This is just my way, and this can be used for backgrounds and non-lf2 things.

Also good for energy effects, if you choose green or blue etc.

It works well if you use a mouse too. If you have any questions ill be happy to answer them (duh).

Also, im not sure if it works for other programs, though GIMP and Paint.net probably have something similar.

Nice tutorial. The flames with different brush-settings look totally awesome. I shall try out that method. I never bothered messing with add and multiply modes, but maybe I should.
Everythings easy to follow and understandable, so a + there. You might want to add a little example of how to turn a fire blast done with this method into an LF2-sprite, though. Just erasing the darker parts of the flame. I mean, while there are various tutorials on burning pics, there aren't that many for blasts or flames, so another one isn't redundant at all.
Nice work, really.
