I like it but the fire/lava should glow a bit more. It feels like it's changing from a really thick and strong fire to a dark (what seems to be the black background) area too quickly. A good trick to draw fire is to remember that there are a lot of different colors, the stronger the fire the brighter the color. So it should gradually turn darker as the fire fades away. For example, you could go from yellow/greenish to orange to red to purple... Hope that helps

Edit : Personnally, using white to show the hottest part of the fire helps me get it right but I've seen people draw without white too, it's just a matter of style !

the concept behind this was fire actually encircling the character at a small distance, so between the fire ring and the fires near the character's core there is jut... hot air

Give the rocks flying away more of a highlight so i doesn't look like random black figures flying.

Exactly, More Highlight

Those parts of a drawing that have the lightest tone.
For example, choose an object.
Observe the lightest areas of that object.
The brightest of the lightest values are the "highlights".

so for example, the rocks to the left side must have their right side brighter? the side that's facing the flames?

Like other people here already said, the fire needs work.
That fire seems too solid and smudged blankly, it lacks shapes and shading.
I don't know what those black spots are.
The character, what happens to him? He produces that fire or is he affected by that fire?
I suggest u to increase the level of detail(regarding the fire).
A richer color range could be used.
Add some shapes, use some shading.
Define those black spots better. If they are rocks, make 'em look like rocks and use shading to avoid flatness.
And, like i said to other icons of urs, a powerful effect can not leave someone/something near it unaffected.
The shading plays a big role. A successful icon without shading doesn't exist.
I advise u to read some 2D art tutorials and practice.
