Description
Edit: And the yellow is BLINDING. *_* Sorry. It's not quite so bright in the original.Oh. My. Gosh.
I can't believe I made this. <___<
For the amazing *girltripped 's contest. I wasn't going to enter but then I saw the picture ([link] ) and got inspired.
And now I'm out of black and every possible hue of orange. And running low on yellow. .__.'

Phoenix! That's the name of our school magazine for which my sister also drew a phoenix: [link]
Its really cool to see the differences, how different people imagine these creatures
Yours very beautiful, I like especially the curly tail!
But what are these feathers under the phoenix? (on the belly)

Thank you! Honestly, I have no idea why those feathers are there. I was using about three different resources for the phoenix and one of them had those... and I thought they added to it. Even if they are absolutely useless lol. (And oh god looking at this again I'm reminded at how horribly bright the yellow came out lol xD) You're right about the differences.. and it's so true for so many things!

Thanks a lot! The yellow looks good in the original, but the scan and saturation enhancements that I did to make the woman look better... also made the yellow impossible to look at without your eyes watering. :'D

.... Whoa o.o
P.S.. run the yellow farther into the black

It is! It really is! The white on the phoenix also doesn't run out so abruptly, it's just the way it scanned. )x

Holy shit. <333333 Well worth the loss of colors. The face is beautiful, and her HAIR LITTO STOP BEING SO GOOD AT HAIR D:< Her eyes are especially beautiful too. :< If you don't win I WILL BE LE ANGRY D:<

I can't! D: I think I spent the most on the hair. Omg I learned a trick! If you draw some lines with a mechanical pencil with no lead before coloring, some lines will stay white! *_* It helped here. ..And that's my educational moment of the day. 8'D Her eyes really are beautiful, irl. e.e I'm glad I pulled this off. e.e
