So I was a bit bored today, and decided to play a bit with Photoshop. The result's below.
I know it needs some polishing to look more realistic, but I'm not a professional...
Anyway, what do you think ? :)
Stas, As "The Killer", Jerry Lee Lewis sang.
"Goodness Gracious, Great Balls of Fire"!
Cool artwork BTW
peace, jonalbear
LOL
Thanks, Jonalbear :)
By the way, I thought the image will appear below the text, so I typed "below", so just ignore it.
Very cool effect Stas! Must have been the chili peppers(lol)

Hi Stas,
That is VERY cool indeed, and it SURE looks as though you are spitting fire! I have never tried playing around with Photoshop like this, perhaps one day I will give it a try.

That's good, I'm no expert either, but you got the basics right, particularly the light glow back on your face. Good effort, good hair too.
I decided, to leave photoshop out of this and try doin it myself :-). I tucked my hair under a wet bandana, since hair catches fire easily :-) Burnt my moustache a bit though.
The pic is from this summer's Rennesaince fair in Prague.
That's cool man!
I've never done realy firespitting. How does it feel like?
I do it as a hobby at different fairs and events. We usually use lamp oil, u know that oil (flavoured or not) which is used in decorative lamps. You can try spitting other flammable liquids,like kerosene, but i don't recommend that-you can catch fire really fast.
And the whole thing feels cool,i mean hot,eh i mean great:-)
we just have to be careful not to inhale the hot vapor,cos it can damage the lungs. And don't swallow the oil, it causes diarrhoea:-) and tastes awful :-)
real*
and another question: what liquid do you actually spit?
That's pretty awesome, Shaddieslav, so kudos go out to you for your fearlessness, but I'd never do it. Hey man, you'd be a real hit here at the Renaissance Faire in Sterling Forest, Tuxedo, New York. Sadly enough I missed it this year. Great pics!

Fantastic! I have some friends who do that, but so far I've stuck to fire spinner (staff and a little poi), and flaming torches for juggling. Perhaps someday...

Oh, and here's one more :-)I gotta show off a bit :-)
Very nice results, Stas.
Amazing that, what with all that fire, your hair didn't catch!
You've definitely got another side field to pursue. Best wishes!
Yours in longhaired camaraderie and SFX expertise,

Hey the picture looks great! and for not being a photoshop pro, you did pretty good! I teach photoshop and also use it probably half my days at work. Great job and nice hair too, keep blowing that fire! Take care!
Did some polishing to that picture, and here's the improved (IMO) result:
