Good Evening…

i see there is a sphere inside, and the eyes are easy too, but, how can i make the surrounding flames??
thank you very much in advance…

Well, you are going to want to use particles, but that gif is so small, it’s hard to see just what you want to do.

If it is something like these it is pretty simple…
