OK, a quick fire blaze. This is just drawn shapes with about 17% freehand smoothing - I converted some curved flame edges to points. I started with the large orange flame and applied a 2% feather. Then I created the dark yellow shape within the orange shape slightly matching it's shape with some variation, applying a 6% feather. Then I created the light yellow shape in the center (could have created a few more) with a similar 6% feather. Finally I created the off orange shape slightly larger in places than the original orange shape, and put it behind everything else.
There's all kinds of variations, especially in contrast to whatever the surrounding and background colors are, but I did the below in less than a minute.
