Been watching a lot of declassified nuclear test films, thought I'd share a fun fact.

    I couldn't wait to see this come true when either of them becomes president... The yield and target vary on which one actually becomes president!

    Nice art. 1+ The size depends on power. Just look at Hiroshima and TZAR bomb.

    Update: recently just smoothed some of the fireball's contours, added to the stem, and advanced a frame to blend the heat better. Thanks Kevino36!

    Wow, thanks for all the views and stuff guys- @Kevino36: it totally does look better when you advance one frame, clever. @leeazu, @Arkanine: yer probably both right.

    We don't use high yield nuclear weapons anymore. Scientists have shown that a series of small yield nukes will deal far more damage than one extremely large weapon.

    @ChocolateMilkshake: Reason #3 why I like the DVORAK keyboard: The semicolon has been exiled to limbo, where the z used to live.

    That thing is about 6.71 miles or 305 pixels. Anyways, i never liked heat art, it just wasn't my thing. So umm.... instead ill give you... a... a semicolon. ;
