Wow, wonderful render you have there? And this is an animation... i would love to see it! By the way, was the shadows done in a single render, are the flames made in maya or in after effectsand how long have you been modelling user added image

Thanks all, much appreciated! Yeah... the shadows where all done in a single pass. The fire was a series of flames comped together in After Effects to form a circle, which was scaled and translated as a 3D layer, then comped onto the maya renders.
M, ... I've been modeling/ animating/ texturing for five years now. I love it, always something new to learn!
Here's the anim, hope it works....

Enjoy!

You gotta teach me how to do the fire in that method! Excelent job with that, I wish you could sho me how to use after effects as good as you do. I agree with strarup too the BG compared to everything else looks kinda boring or flat, not to say you did a bad job, its just relative to you're stunning FG.
