/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

I feel like every step is only taking me back. I have severely underestimated the complexity of what I imagined when first starting this piece.
After redrawing it to have more tongues, I had chosen to redo the flame from scratch, as I thought it wasn't coming out stylized enough. Also, I know braziers don't make that much smoke and the fire is too red, so please omit these points from criticism, it is supposed to be stylized after all.
