Some images in this post show a non-english version of Photoshop. This should not affect your ability to complete this tutorial as all settings should look exactly the same.
Step 1
Start with creating a document. Mine is 800×600 pixels. This is a nice workspace when creating icons.
Step 2
Draw a base shape of a fish body using the pen tool. This can be any fish you would like.
Step 3
Open the layer styles and apply a gradient with a yellow-orange-red-kind of color to make that fire-feeling and set the gradient-style to mirror. Now set the angle to 45º
Step 4
This is how your fish-shape should look like so far(if you did the same fish-shape as I did).
Step 5
Now we are going to make the eye of the fish.
Select the ellipse tool and draw a fully round circle. Hold down shift when applying the circle to make it perfectly round.
Open the layer styles and apply this styles
Step 6
Make another shape above our round circle and add some outerglow.
Step 7
Make a firey shape. This will add a nice fire-effect to our eye. Open the layer styles and apply some outer glow.
Step 8
Now we are going to set our body on fire using pen tool (I know, funny choice of words).
Make a long pointed shape. Apply a layer mask () and use the gradient-tool() to fade it out.
