Awesome
Wow what an awesome and interesting character you've created. The hat alone stand out with it "WALDO" type coloring and the way it curls in the tip is cool. I love the purple coloring for your character and the background to go with it works well. I love that the body seems to come from the fire and the the fire itself is well created and drawn here. I would add a bit of effects to the fire, maybe a glow or more lighting effecting the character from the fire. Overall very interesting and awesome work. I'd make this into an animation if you have time. Theres alot of nice little artistic and amusing things about this piece, I did however think you could have put more into it, so below and through out the review are a few tips and advice that could help improve on this, You have a symbolic concept here and implemented appropriately, but overall I found it to be pretty good.
~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Focus adding some effects to the fire and glows and more textures maybe here and there.
