Ok, I know this style doesn't fit with the rest yet. It needs smoothing out.. but anyway this is the new 8 frame fire animation..

Yeah, I'll probably go with something like this (animated though):

I sort of prefer the original fire, I think.  You just need to round off the indiviual pixels somehow so that it fits in with the other graphics.  (Though that said, it's a bit hard to tell from still images, I guess the real test is how it looks in motion).

I can move the fire up a bit to make it more separated from tiles below.

The problem with the original one is it's too detailed, when I tried to simplify the shapes it didn't work very well.

Need some curlyness in the vector art version, as well as a few circles that start lower down and rise up and fade (may have to be a particle effect overlaid on the fire anim).  Hard to tell without seeing it in motion.

Another option could be to make it much shorter, like a quarter of its current height, so then its more symbolic than realistic, and lets you move a character around on top of it without it occluding etc.

These fire previews cry out for animated gifs.

You should try to create a  more organic looking fire with those triangles.

Probably make the triangle making up the fire at different heights.

googling fire vector art gives some decent examples of the general curly shape you probably need..

After thinking about it some more, I've realised that Eigenbom is right about the height issue. Ingame the fire shouldn't be so big as it should be walkable (albeit maybe damaging) as in X-Com.

I guess I had the type of Fire in Chaos fixed in my head, which is a full tile in size and impassable.

I'll have to try some smaller designs now!

The colors seem very bright compared to the rest. Also, have you tried making it assymetrical?

The shape is a big improvement! I definitely fits in with the rest of the style now. The saturation and value seem a lot higher that the surrounding colours, as riv said.
