Step 40
Add new layer (Layer > New > Layer or Shift + Ctrl + N). Then, right-click on it and choose "Create clipping mask" (Alt+Ctrl+G or Layer > Create Clipping Mask). Choose soft round brush 6 px. Use white color. Draw liquid like thing on hand.
Step 41
Now you'll make fire glow. Add new layer (Shift+Ctrl+N or shortcut). Pick soft round brush around 30px size. Use #ff970f color. Draw glow around model's hand.
Change blending mode to Soft light.
Step 42
It's time to make glow around fire drops. Add new layer (Shift+Ctrl+N or shortcut). Pick soft round brush aroun 15px. Use lighter color - #ffd514.
Change its blending mode to Soft light also.
Step 43
Now let's add some light and glow to hand. Add new layer (Shift+Ctrl+N or shortcut). Pick soft round brush around 10px. Use #ff5d24 color. For better effect, I recommend dynamic opacity of brush.
Change its blending mode to Screen.
Step 44
Now it's the last glow - the biggest. Add new layer (Shift+Ctrl+N or shortcut). Pick soft round brush around 300px. Use light-brown color - #8e1900 and draw dot in the center of fire stock image.
Change its blending mode and opacity to Screen, around 45%.
Step 45
Image is too bright. Let's fix it. Add adjustment layer (Layer > New adjustment layer...) with Brightness/Contrast.
Step 46
Then, you should change colors (If you want). Add Color/Balance adjustment layer. (Layer > New adjustment layer...)
Step 47
Now you'll make preparing for making lava on ground. Add new layer (Shift+Ctrl+N or shortcut). At first, use soft round, 400px brush and draw dot with smoked orange color (#ff7122).
Then, draw with smaller, light-yellow (#ffe65b) brush, second dot, on first.
Next, transform it perspectively - ctrl + T and adjust it to ground.
At the end, change blending mode of created layer to Hue.
Step 48
Add new layer (Shift+Ctrl+N or shortcut). At first, use soft round, 150px brush and draw splash with dark orange color (#ff3f08).
Change its blending mode to Color dodge, decrease opacity to around 10% (here:11%).
Step 49
Add more glow to your fire (yay!). Add new layer (Shift+Ctrl+N or shortcut). Use the same brush settings as before and draw glow around model's hand, fire and drops of fire. You can decrease opacity of brush to even 50%, it depends of your desired effect.
