Draw This Again: Cradling Flames

It's been just a little over a year since I did this last, so I decided it was about time I did another one.
I guess I've improved a bit, but of course, not as much as I would have wanted to(everybody seems to say this).
I can't complain when I look at where I started out though!

Used:
PaintTool SAI and Photoshop CS6

Here's the after picture(animated):
