Here is an explosion tutorial as Leth requested, although I don't think I'm so good at explosions that I can teach how to draw them... But I can teach some of the principles behind them!

But the best thing to do is really to watch video of explosions. (Some links are supplied in the Flash)

Edit: I just learned that "flame" explosions are officially called BLEVEs (pronounced "blev-ee"), or Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosions. You can look up this term on youtube to see a bunch of them!

Additionally, a deviant named ~ProfessorDoom has commented about the collapsing of the mystery of gamma ray bursters (pun intended):
"The core of the hypernova collapses directly into a black hole and two extremely energetic jets of plasma are emitted from its rotational poles at nearly the speed of light. These jets emit intense gamma rays, and are a candidate explanation for gamma ray bursts. In recent years a great deal of observational data on gamma ray bursts significantly increased our understanding of these events, and made clear that the collapse model produces explosions that differ only in detail from more or less ordinary supernovae. Nevertheless, they continue to sometimes be referred to in the literature as hypernovae. The word hypernova itself was coined by S.E. Woosley. [link] " Check the link for more information!

Daily Deviation ~linzer-torte thinks that "Explosion basics tutorial by ~zack-sr is an AWESOME tutorial about "how to draw explosions." It goes really in depth about the physics and chemistry of different types of explosions, outlines different techniques on observing and rendering explosions, and does it all in a very easy to read and comprehensible way."

Oh my god, you actually made a tutorial! This is amazing! It's gonna help me so much! (mainly cause I had trouble with different types and the debris never looked real in mine...)

But on top of that this was a science lesson... and I love science. Thank you so much.

I LOVE YOU

okay so maybe I lost you at some parts but man am I excited to know deuterium and tritium are applicable in explodey knowledge (and art in a sense) we just learned about those in ap chem the other day AND THIS IS GREAT for reference and *~*~learning*~* and everything. ALSO HARDCORE EXPLODEYS. thank you for being awesome

Wow! I feel like I was in science class.... Anyhow, it was awsome! How long did it take you to make this?

i love your deviations. 9/10, i learn something that will never help me in life, but is stupidly interesting anyway.

this was one of those nine out of ten times. ;) it definitely rates up there with your tutorial (or uh, your posting of links) about the strong force, i continue to amaze people with my knowledge about that to this very day.

i might just have to try an explosion some time soon. another fantastic deviation from you ♥

I'm DEFINATLY using this. I tried making an explosion animation once..and failed >: But I will try again!

Much love ;3

Thanks for complimenting me! :D I hope it's good as a reference... actually it seems like a sucky reference to me because it tries to cover so much in so little space, and my explanation was going "and this is! and this is! and this!" xD Like a kid in a toy store..

Which parts did you struggle to understand? I can try to help!
