**I don't necessarily think you're crazy cause I like it. Those little "flame" dealies look fantastic. But I'm gonna throw you a curve because I think he should have a mouth. lol And a wee bit more of a nose shape to follow those "flames" in that area as well.

I can so see him with some glowing type eyes. Or even some solid black ones with a really out there reflection. So many possibilities on that area alone. I don't think he should have a "normal" skin color. And if you could make those "flames" independent of the face for texturing, you would have many possibilities for the textures on that as well.

Looks awesome so far, Rorr.
