learn about adjustment layers like curves, saturation and color levels to make less obvious that you took the pic with your phone in your bedroom (noticeable desaturation + making things less green and more blue and have high contrast is a cheap trick that kind of works)

use displacement mask filter to wrap the texture of coal around your arms

use select -> color range to extract sparks and place them in front of you, so it appears that your're surrounded by sparks

try a LITTLE BIT of surface blur to on your figure (as clipping mask layer) to hide the photographic noise without affecting the edges of your pic

make edges of your figure blend in better using a layer mask + a soft brush

before applying filters to your figure make it into a smart object, so you don't permanently fuck it up and can adjust things later

You definitely have to blur the edges of your cutout. Then add some shadow and adjustment layers and you should be gucci to go.
