Nice , great work from both of you .

I think between the two of you - you have managed to pull off a very striking piece and the mix of styles certainly lifts the flames above the norm. my only comment would be the black keylines around the inside borders of the jewels seam very harsh and almost pixelated in comparisson to the softness of the rest of the design. other than that a lovely piece indeed.

Beautiful work from the two of you ! Really very lovely, I think this is fantasic !

Wonderfull work you two... *clap-clap-clap* ... great job.
*bow*

holy SH________T this is too cool.LOL i am wowwed and amazed this is awsome!!!!!

Great collab :D Very creative also :D I only feel that Randy's fractal should've had the contrast and saturation increased to work better w/what you added to it...other than that...great job to the both of you :D

Hi Nathan and Randy, this image is so beautiful and is beyond my comprehension to critique well, as I have said sadly, so many times before, I don't engage in this type of unique and marvelous artistry! Therefore, I am unable to describe this image in terms you guys would like to read! However, I find great fascintation in Nathan's work, so I find it irrisistibly difficult to not make my usual inquiry when he posts! Let me put it another way, I love this image, with it's grand colors of bronzes, rusty reds, variegated purples and golds! Simply magnificent in design and full of pleasure to view! Sincerely, Marilyn

20/10! A winner from start to finish! Great flame, awesome manipulation....a collaboration made in heaven! Wen

Wonderful team-work you two. Excellent colors and a great design.

Totally awesome collaboration you two. This is incredible.

Excellent composition...To me, it looks like some kind of alien ship...

Awesome work. I love the way this turned out.

NEAT! I love the forward motion on this. Fantastic collaboration you two!

Amazing work.. I have looked at both.. Congratulatons to both of you..

Wow! Excellent and artistic collaboration! One beautiful piece of work and top vote!

I like it. It compliments the original very well. I have no idea how you folks make these images, but I know what I like. I'm amazed at the imagination of the people who do this type of work. You both are very talented.
Thanks.

As cgImagery would say "Holy (bad word)!" This is truly gorgeous. I can see what Phil and cgImagery mean, but it still looks great to me. This is quite striking and very beautiful. The rich colors and wonderful jewel work work incredibly well together. You may need to collaborate again sometime. Highest marks.

I checked out the revision and it does look improved...only gilding the lily, in my opinion.

Wow Nathan!! This turned out great. Your have proven yourself again as an artist with great skills. Thanks for chosing one of my images to work with. You've made my day. :)

That is spectacular Nathan and Moe...love the way you blend the two techniques into a seamless piece of exceptional art.

A solid wallpaper!!!

AT first glance this looks like a carving done in the finest bronze metal...and copper as well. the colours are absolutely magnetic...the rich tones are enough to make a person wish they had a bit of gold intheir hands ! hehe And I think of it as a jewel piece again and can almost see it laying on top of purple velvet cloth. It makes one feel breathless with such beauty. I know nothing of "flames and fractals etc" but I do know colours and these are some of the most awe inspiring rich colours I've ever seen on a piece of art. I only wish I could copy them on my artists canvas. But I enjoy this piece of creation you have both made, its just magnificient!..verena

Wow!

LOL @ Shars comment... Wonderful work to both of you.. I loved Randy's flame it was perfect and your work added to it makes it more than perfection, the 2 images compliment each other beautifully.. I love the deep rustic tones and the gold work.. absolutely beautiful.. Congrats to both of you, your both very talented...

Nice piece, Dad. I love the colors...it looks like a fish :)

Astounding job Nathan!! Actually to you both!! Love the effect and feeling!!

Thanks, everyone, from both Randy and I. Yeah, Rachael, it does look kind of like some alien fish.

This is so awesome Nathan!! This is just gorgeous, I love the colors you chose for this, as well as the gold. Great job to you and Randy!..=)

Great collaboration. I love the colors in this and the fades are seemless. Nice work.
