Ok so the main idea is that fire is very hot.
Like really HOT.
Many artists seem to neglect that fact, but when you hold your hand next to a ball of fire, you'll get BURNED.
So the fire mages, who produce the fireballs out of their hands need to PROTECT themselves!
I like those H O T looking sketches nice🔥
Like the idea that you've incorporated real world logic to something like this, it is true that people forget the intensity of fire when painting it xD
More sketches. It's getting hotter!
I'm warming up 
Clock is ticking, I can feel the heat!
Time for some composition sketches
Some hot new sketches:
omg these puns please stop lmao
I'm happy you finally started a final piece, for a minute there I thought you were gonna do design sketches forever xD I'm loving the colours you've chosen for your illustration 
Thanks! No time for more sketches unfortunately
I explored one of my other sketches, and this one warms my heart better:
Really awesome 🔥🔥
It's getting hotter!
