I started off using the brush and painting out a cartoon-ish fire:
Fire

Then I added a glowing effect with some embers:
FirePlusEffect

I don’t think this looks very good though so since I am using a stylised shape I thought I should make the colours flat:
FlatFlame

This time the glow and the embers are the same colours as before but their layers are semi-transparent:
FlatFlamePlusEffect

I still didn’t really like how this turned out so I looked online for some “inspiration” and tried to make my own rendition of something I saw:
PixelFireBG

Here’s the same image as above but with a transparent background:
PixelFireTransparent

edit: Here is a gif showing the different layers at 128x128:

edit again: Instead of going from brushed to flat I went from the pixel art as a reference using the airbrush tool:
AirbrushedFire

A fairly fun but difficult challenge!

Got a decent “texture” in this one, shape is suboptimal
Fire%201
Really like the shape on this one, used a reference
Fire%202
Tried making one with slightly bluish core
Fire%203
And finally one looking more like an explosion
Fire%204

PS: Will definitely revisit this challenge later

Lots of really hot (and excellent) looking fire here! Here’s mine. The same campfire base but at different stages of fleme-y-ness. Used mostly paintbrush with varying degrees of opacity.

Simple campfire

Getting a bit hotter and throwing sparks

Smoking

And finally developing a nice bed of embers before dying down

Here’s my fire. Wasn’t sure what to do for the fourth one so I went with a candle.

I tried to go with the colour pallet I had created in the lecture before. A pallet without red or yellow because I used a peacock for inspiration. With what I had, I thought I’d try for a gas flame because that actually works with my shades of blue.

Here’s some Fire with a UI Border, not sure if I will stick to the UI colors, I have multiple templates atm.
Fire1

Didn’t want to spend too long on this but was fun and I couldn’t resist lol, This was honestly my first thought when we were told to make fire.

Wow, this assignment was not an easy one. I had decided to challenge myself by mainly using a three pixel diagonal brush… The fire kept turning out a lot more angular and darker in the zoomed-out preview image than I expected compared to the zoomed-in resolution I was working in.

This would be a great assignment for me to revisit with different restrictions and tools.
