You went yellow out to red and fire is usually red in the deepest recesses out to yellow at the tips. But i like both ways so i think it comes down to whatever you like
You got that backwards. It's actually yellow (almost white) where it's hottest - at it's base (excluding gas fires, which are blue).
Forest Fire. Note that it's nearly white at the forest level to red at the tops.
Lake on fire pic. Same thing. The colors are brightest @ the water, where the fuel source is:
I think the issue with the model is that you have WAAAY too much red in the fire & your red's too dull and blood-like.
You just want a (bright) red at the tip of the fire and a good bright yellow at the base. The majority of the fire should be orange, from a yellow-heavy orange to a red-heavy orange. You should also start from white or grey primer. Never black.
When I'm done with fire, I like to cover the think with a glaze/wash of yellow ink (I mix mine 5:1, water:ink).

I think what this situation needs is some imagination.
