Description While searching for resources related to rocks, cracks, and lava, I came across the awesome styles by ~Giallo86 , chiefly his fire burning text effect .

I decided to take a crack at making some lava text of my own. This was the final result. It's not very efficient, though. Finishing in at about 22 stacked layers, it's a major pain to transfer to other shapes.

very nice effect! is that background your own image? it looks like it would be a nice standalone or at least a good base for other work

Tons of layer styles. I tried to avoid custom tweaking to see how far I could push just the reusable styles. In the end, it's about 22 stacked layers, each with a unique style working with the layers directly above/below itself.

If I were you, I would use this in a wallpaper.
It looks very cool!

I wouldn't mind, but likely not. Tutorials, I feel, should be very thorough, comprehensive, and easy to follow. They themselves take a lot of time to craft, so I would probably be very OCD whilst making one. And right now I'm having a hard time just packaging and releasing the mound of finished wallpapers I have. This small experiment was very anomalous, as far as me taking time to bother.

Thanks. I'm not entirely happy with the final results, but it wasn't a very lengthy undertaking. I rushed some stuff.

It looks a lot like metal that was been in the fire in a blacksmith shop.
