# I love this style, very cartoony
I played about with thick outlines in vectors a while ago, never worked out as I planned though.

# I like it
I would say that for the flame, specific to this pic, you should've not penned it in, but just had the outline,
then a low transparency brush in yellow/white for the glow.

# Possibly
In the scheme of things, it works well with the style anyway.

# without the flame line
it looks like this



I'm in 2 minds about it now.

# Y'see
I quite like that, it's got a more natural look to me.
But like I say, it's a matter of personal style and preference.

# pfft
it's my first attempt at something serious. I'm normally just cutting and pasting crap together. Thought I'd do something 'interesting' for a change ;-)

Besides, I really just wanted to clean the original photo up. It was taken with a crap phone in a dark pub. I just liked the style of the picture and have never gotten around to cleaning it up.

# piss off. You are
an ace shopper. It's just that your skills lie more in the 'making me laugh my nads off' area as opposed to the 'ooh, arty' area.

as I said, it's my first real attempt at 'art'. I'm a bit chuffed with it, and the edited versions after reading Darkside's comments :-)
