I'm really loving fire themes lately if you can't tell. This originally started out as Firefox going haywire and burning the world to a crisp ( [ sta.sh/0196ss6clkcu ], just to joke around), but I was told it was a biiiit too messy, so I revised it and added more colors than just blue and orange! XD
Edit: Slight changes to the framing to kill some negative space.

first i want to say i like this version. I tend to get into fantasy so thing that came to mind for me here was two elemental beings meeting. there's all this movement and from this point anything could happen but in just this smallest fraction of a moment we can't predict what it will be.
second i disagree that the other was too "messy" it's art and you're an artist, be true to your gut. In looking at the "firefox goes crazy" original it made me think of time i'd spent in a lab looking through a microscope at at a nucleus and cytoplasm... but far more fantastic. like the birth of a creature in space, or the heart of a sun. anyway, thanks for sharing.
sometimes art is messy, sometimes it's jarring and disconcerting to look at. a lot like life. anyway thank you, please keep creating and exploring ^_^
Now, as an artist, there's a difference between "making something and liking that you finally have something" versus "being mostly happy with something you made a while after the fact" or "trying different things out from time to time" to learn and expand what I can do. If I only ever made stuff that "my gut" told me was cool, I'd probably not ever have moved on to using color schemes containing more muted tones, which I really have come to enjoy. If I feel ambivalent about how something looks, I generally ask for second opinions on things.
Creating and exploring is something I enjoy doing, and I don't intend to stop doing so anytime soon!
