critique on pixel pepper Fire?

Its been a while,
I'd honestly love to have some critique on this fire, I'm overall pleased with this piece, but I would love to work on the fire for next time. 

Thanks so much.

The pepper feels a little dull, I think you could push the hue-shifting more, e.g. by making the highlights warmer/orange-er.

Some of the sel-out looks a little weird to me, it just reads like a broken outline rather than a pepper. Since there's the flame background anyway, why not do external AA with it and leave the outline stay solid and consistent?

Thank you for the pointers I see what you mean, I shifted the hue and made the highlights more orange-gy, and worked on the AA. 

Edit: Apologies, made a small edit to the highlights ^^;
