Description
Full View Please :3My version of a summer phoenix.
Working on grass and trees, although my trees look more like those Ponderosa Pines, where the bark is more like scales/flakes than any real sort of tree I see outside.
Some WIPs of the image if you are interested in seeing part of the coloring journey.

Hello! I love your phoenix piece and I was wondering if you wouldn't mind me using it in a blog post featuring phoenix artwork. I would credit you and link back to the deviation. Please let me know if this is alright. Thanks!

Birdie? How does it keep from setting the jungle on fire?

I was thinking it wasn't a phoenix of fire, rather a phoenix of life.

Yeah, I think it depends on the monitors. For some reason on my computer it all seems fine, but when I view it on the school computers its all dark. Hmm~

I don't know if I should hug it, steal it or wonder if it'll eat me (dems some big claws!).
Great job.

So many sparkles! And a flightless phoenix? You don't see those very often.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. I thought I might change it up a bit with making a really pretty flightless one. I'm sure it will have some sort of hiding ability as to not end up like the kiwi or worse the dodo x3

Anyway the parts that can be seen clearly are just beaitiful, and I love those "firefly"like things floating in the air. [:

I'm not sure what they are, but they make the picture more glittery and prettier x3
