Description This is what I am working on for another tattoo commission.

It is too detailed right now for the tatt size, but I like it so I will keep a detailed version to maybe color in the future and rework a simpler one for the tattoo.

I think I am having some anatomy problems since I only partially referenced a pose from Stephanie Pui-mun Law's watercolor book and made the rest up.
1) I think the legs are too short - maybe just the lower legs?
2) I think the torso is off somehow?

My first idea was to make a phoenix bird head mask, which is what I did here, but I am contemplating making it more like a bird skull. Any thoughts? Should I somehow cover her crotch area since I did the chest?

I need to figure out the fire yet too...I hate drawing fire!!! Any suggestions are welcome!

I would cover the crotch or reveal more chest for a more seductive look

Yeah, I had been toying with a skimpy skirt of some kind, but nothing had looked right at the point I posted this.
So far I like the chest the way it is...something about showing "cleavage" underneath is interesting to me.

Thanks much for your feedback, I really appreciate it!

I agree completely. The underneath view is less typical. It gives more of an exotic appearance in my opinion.
