Description I got inspired by a picture ~imtara made some time ago, and asked her if I could use it as strong reference for a picture of my own, namely this deviation. Have a look at the original picture at [link] .

This picture is fairly quick compared to most of my other work, and I'm trying out a different colouring technique, that is both fast and gives, if I may say so myself, a pretty decent outcome.

It's a bit messy even though I spent a moment trying to reduce the superfluous lining and shading, but my hand is pretty much killing me as it is. And I need sleep (3.15 am).

I'd love your feedback.

Thanks a lot. But hey, isn't Phoenix a bird, according to the legend?

Yes it is, the phoenix is a bird in Egyptian mythology that lived in the desert for 500 years and then consumed itself by fire... 3 days later it is said to be reborn from its ashes. Though phoenix is also an archaic term for a person or thing of unsurpassed beauty.
Betcha didn't know that...
But then the dragon can be viewed as a type of bird too in many civilizations... ok I will shut up now... I love your art ^^

Thanks a lot. This was only an experiment, that turned out rather good. I really like how so many people even added it to their favorites.

i like it, nice use of different colours all around the bird though it looks more like a dragon to me, always had a dragon obsession though so i maybe wrong

Yea, another great picture, I like the colouring, it turned out well.
ItΒ΄s like a mutated "troll slΓ€nda"
Just a great picture!

mayby I havent seen all phoenixes in the world. But this one is the greatest.

Love the colors and details!
It looks 1/3 animal 1/3 mechanical 1/3 vegetal.
I like your style, it's very good.

Beautiful! Very nice! I actually like your picture better than the "original". Maybe it's the colors. I like the colors a lot here. The picture is very black (look! you've got a black frame! what a surprice! ) but still it's very colorful. And that's very good according to me, because I like both black and colors very much
And I like your new style of coloring, I can't put my finger on what it is, but it's very nice. Looks like colored pencils.
Now I've got to go eat breakfast, or else I'll die, and if I die I can't comment any more of your pictures... and that would just be too bad
