I like the one on the right best.  It feels more relateable with the human colors.  I'm just worried that it may be too far out of the box.

Thanks for the comment! I'm worried about that too.. I mean, you're allowed to make humanoid fantasy races and he's indeed humanoid but I don't think the group ever specified HOW humanoid a character has to be.. *shrug*

I don't really like humans so I couldn't stand making a completely ordinary one. Stripy eared fellows in cauldrons FTW! XD

Haha, that's one interesting character design. I prefer the right one than the middle, because I find hard to associate fire with purple. If there's one where only his head pops out of the cauldron, that would be awesome.

Well the fire part of him isn't supposed to be the primary visual trait and he doesn't have a typical "fire personality" or anything. Its more like how humans are 90% water but we're not blue and not all of us can swim XD I figured red skin would look too much like a cliche demon, and generally I dislike character designs which are "you can see on his face what his archetype is, because he looks like everybody else". The wise old man is a beady gandalf wannabe, the hero is a young male with a sword and spiky hair, you fight swathes of colour-coded red/blue/green/yellow monsters, etc. It's common in RPGs but I don't have to like it.

So the cooking pot is a sillier way to say "this is a fire monster" XD

Though I get what you mean- because coloured skin is usually an elemental thing it looks like he's meant to be a different element. ("Ether" or "psychic", as purple usually is. Or maybe a weird "water"??) So I agree that the human skin version looks more neutral.

Also yes he totally just pokes his head out cutely like.. all the time. He's a very shy guy XD Probably will do that for his map sprite. Bouncing along as a head poking out of a cauldron!
