... but a nice one. it seems no one has pointed to any of billy kerr's youtube tutorials yet, so for anyone who's missed them i just wanted to recommend them. this particular one (GIMP tutorial - Fire Effect) does a fire effect and it's well explained, beginner-friendly and done in a relaxed tempo, with background music that probably won't get on many people's nerves. i found it very easy to follow and the result was beautiful.

very nice tute, I don't usually like videos but I might give it a try.
