This is a derivate of my Spectraflame shader.
I actually find it much easier to get the shader effects I want by using GC.

 

That's not looking too bad, actually.  Ideally, it should have more contrast -- be darker around the edges -- for my purposes.  The sparkle should also be less pervasive, which is to say, less prevalent as a "flat" effect through the whole shader, popping more where the light hits.  Possibly you are using a flatter lighting arrangement than I favor.  :unsure:  I do like your colors quite a bit.

One of the main problems I'm having with any GC attempts is that I lose any contrast along the edges that I try to add.  GC just strips them right out.

I am glad you find it easier.  Well done!  :thumbupboth:  But... lift me up, lift me up!  :lol:  I'm strugglin'.
