Hmmm, I’m still not getting it out of a square shape. I want it taller, but thinner width on some flames.

Made a new one, bought the app!

Like this? Maybe just add multiple layers of smoke and fire instead of stretching

I wanted to do a Bioshock one, but the coverart is a little bland. I just took another artwork pic and used it.

An here’s a Destruction Derby 2 one too!

Opening the pics to fullscreen in the browser seems to bring up a better quality version!

Oh yes! It’s about finding a cover art that has a lot of “moving” stuff that lets itself be animated that’s the trick.
