Flames - Basic Blue Double Wide by jbensch

Flames by jbensch

These are the classic hot rod flames. You see these quite a bit on school lunch boxes to the actual hot rod they originated from to apparel and lots of other things. Since hot rod flames are so common and over done I wanted to find something that was a bit more unique from the standard fare that you find and I feel like jbensch really added a unique touch to the design of the flames. I did also select this for the traditional flames on blue color scheme because it’s difficult to find flames that aren’t on a very dark background and it’s tradition, which is something I don’t particularly like to mess with.

Radial Flames by Dark Warlock

Radial Flames by Dark Warlock

This background by Dark Warlock is a bit more abstract but since the nature of fire is so random and abstract itself, I feel like it fits with the theme of fire. It’s also a background looks incredibly like a painting and features a lot of colors and contrast which adds a tremendous amount of depth to the image and makes for a lovely care that can be given to someone who maybe isn’t crazy about the traditional, wavy fire design like the ones featured on hot rods.

The colors mesh beautifully from dark to light and is a very open and neutral background, leaving lots of room for customization.

Fire by Hellheimer

Fire by Hellheimer

This simple fire background is smooth, elegant, and a little jazzy. Its cool and refreshing brush strokes almost distract you from the fact that it is indeed a small flame. I always admire people who can compose a clear subject with so few line as it creates a beautiful, clean and, simple product which makes is great for a lot of things both professional and personal.

Firewall by Alexander GG

Alexander-GG has put together a molten looking fire background that focuses more on the glow and intensity of fire rather than the sparks and curling tips of a match’s flame. This wallpaper has realistic visuals, depths, and textures and is sure to light up your background incredibly well. It is a beautiful wallpaper that is available in several sizes ranging from iPhone resolution to very large wide screen resolutions.
