Description Wow, two pieces submitted in one day? I'm on a roll

Anyhoo, This is an updated version of a much older image of mine, which can be found here: [link]

...I like the new one better >__>

This is my first time experimenting with reflected light colouring the person (for those of you who have no idea what I'm rambling about - that's the yellow glow from the fire showing up on her skin). I think it turned out alright.

Total time: More hours than I want to think about. I could probably still spend another 3 hours on it, just poking about with stuff, but the final effect would be negligible.

Sketched and inked by hand, scanned and coloured on the pc with a wacom graphics tablet. Her skin was done in Procreate Painter 7, everything else was done in Adobe Photoshop 7. The pose is based on an image I saw of Marvel's character Polaris.

Art and character design is copywrite to me (Jigokuko), unauthorised re-use without my expressed written consent is prohibited.

Gorgeous. Just GORGEOUS. I love how she seems to glow, alone in the darkness and how there's a wonderful flow of her feathers and hair and the flames she emits.

Your women are so powerful and lovely.

My only gripe is those knickers of hers . . . why bother? Couldn't you have curled some feathers forward instead? I think that would be less distracting.

Thankyou n__n

I might actually take your advice on that and get rid of the pants. I just love hot pants so much, I couldn't help myself. XD

This is one of the more believable Phoenix girls that I've seen on DA. The long feathers coming out of her hair are a nice touch.

Thankyou I really wanted to try a combination of hot and cold colours. I've seen others do it, and always thought it looked quite nice.
