Description
This is my approach on the Bennu! The Bennu was the Egyptian version and original version of the many variations on the Phoenix.

I wanted to give it longer legs as it's a Heron, but I kind of forgot and messed up .. The purple in the plumage has turned black But I still like it

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Bennu was said to be the soul of the Sun God Ra, the God Atum or Osiris and would also be called “He Who Came Into Being by Himself,” “Ascending One,” and “Lord of Jubilees”. It was said to have been born out of fire or out of the heart of Osiris. It was associated with the rising of the Nile, resurrection, and the sun.

The appearance of the Bennu was said to have been that of a grey, purple, blue or white heron with a long beak and a two feathered crest. Occasionally the Bennu was depicted as a yellow wagtail, or as an eagle with feathers of red and gold. In rare instances the Bennu was pictured as a man with the head of a heron, wearing a white or blue mummy dress under a transparent long coat.
