A Spike wallpaper (in two variations)

So, I've joined this lovely graphics comm called whedon_art ... and the second challenge was titled "fire".  And I'm a dork.   So I have here for you a wall in two variations.  It actually comes from a picture of a fire dancer (you  know, those magnificent souls who play with burning flame on a rope?  and then stand so someone can take etherial and beautiful pictures of them?)

And you get... ( burn, baby, burn )

And for those of you who like voting, they're actually voting on Challenge 1 (Things that Go Bump In The Night) - open to all.  There are some fairly fantastic and scary (in the best of ways) pieces there... by the ever talented khaoschilde and mary5958 among others!
