(You don't have to Cnc this one, I know what's wrong with it. :p)

Short but if we ignore the stick's movements and just focus on the FX, I'd say it need more particles for it to be fire. Plus it's blue which kinda makes it look like he's breathing out..energy? lol. Keep practicing!

Ok, I see, more particles. And yeah, he's breathing out energy(ate a radioactive sandwich, lol.)

Thanks for feedback. I'm a big fan btw.

I do not have much feedback for the flames, per se, other than just use more particles; as stated above. Although I do have a something to say regarding the reflection, or shadow, of the stick figure, the reflection of the character steps up before the chracter him(her)self. Which was probably just a simple mistake on your part, but I thought I would point that out. The flames are good. Keep it up, and keep practicing! :)

Oh, ok thanks for that observation then ^^. And yes I will keep on practicing :).
