I do think it is looking good, and I imagine the flames would look better on the full figure. When I first saw the artwork, I actually wondered if you would come up with some mind-boggling way of integrating a light within the torso. But that might be overkill, or completely impossible.
Not impossible, a lot of work though, I've actually done that before around four years ago, a completely illuminated fire covered figure using EL Wire inserted all around the insides of a transparent upper body and flames, head etc.. Done a LOT of EL Wire work in 1/6 over the years!!
Don't forget he'll be sitting down in a throne so the most predominant parts on display will be his torso and helmet.
Finished figure not lit up though, check out the links below for that, I've also done some mods since prompted by suggestions in the feedback.

Almost forgot the updates! F**k this has been a stressful week! Got medical crap to deal with too and more bureaucracy
.
Had to cut off two of the front horns to make room for the flaming eye but didn't loose them just drilled two holes further forward to 'replant' them. I still need to do a black ink wash on the helm with some different silver too, then wire the whole thing up and hope both LEDs function in series properly and fit the eye inside the flames then seal those holes with more flames etc..oh yeah, then work out how to attach the bloody thing! Weighs a tonne! I could use it as a doorstop!
