Beams and explosions, oh my

A couple of old posts on my blog that may have become lost, but which some people have found useful in the past.

Gimp tutorial on making explosions: geekseven.blogspot.com/2009/11/explosions-tutorial.html

Gimp tutorial on beams/heat vision: geekseven.blogspot.com/2009/09/beams-tutorial.html

I did also do a tutorial on head shot effects, but I'm not happy with the final result, so it's not up at the moment. If I get a chance to redo it, I'll post it here.
