The fire does indeed look very cool, I like the effect.
Three things about it though, it's obscuring so much of the image it's tough to tell
whats going on (he could be flipping me off for daring to offer up some constructive criticism
and I wouldn't even know it
) and that part coming off the right side of the helm doesn't match the rest... it looks more like sparkler trails or hair than flames. Finally on the left side the flames appears to be running from his fingers

Great color choices the green/white set against a black background works great and really makes the image pop.
Even out/tone down the flames a bit and play with some of the textures a bit more and I think you got a real winner here.
