Description A dragon the size of a lion (has its looks too...?) and a phoenix the same size.does a phoenix have an advantage when it comes to fighting dragons? If the dragon spits fire at the phoenix, the phoenix will be reborn from the ashes, so practically the only way a phoenix can die is if the dragon bites his throat off, but I'll hope that never happens. well it seems that both a dragon and a phoenix are mythical creatures... it surely will never happen. (but never loose faith )

re-painted: [link] from half a year ago. The dragon drawing goes a lot better nowadays, and the phoenix looks a lot more vicious. so...

Materials used: van Gogh watercolours, Windsor & Newton colourless masking fluid.

3 things.

1 A job well done.

2 Is there some sort of rivalry between dragons and phoenixes that I'm unaware of?

3 They are mythical, as far as we know. ....just saying.

coming back on your third point, I recently found out that both dragons and phoenixes Do exist, my friend got a dragon for her birthday, his name is Pebbles and heΒ΄s from Norway And the phoenix recently said hello to me. yes, he had a voice. (just kidding so you know vivid imagination)

Your second point: I donΒ΄t know. I just thought a dragon and a phoenix would be perfect rivals, because they are so different, but their main element is fire.

Your firs point: Thank you so much

Anytime.

And this isn't the first picture I've seen of a phoenix and dragon giving each other a death glare, hence my question.

Beautiful composition, I really like the duality between them.

Colors and tones are great, I enjoyed the roses.
