Hello! This is my own version of a Phoenix bird. Swan-like body and neck..but with huge wings and a beautiful tail. Fire is represented by the bird's colors instead of wings made of fire.

I had a real problem with the overall mood of the pic... this is why i adjusted the colors with a lot of blue so the initial orange/yellow tone wouldn't hurt our eyes. And it alsoo looked too childish.

Sketch was drawn on A4 paper.. and painted over in Photoshop CS2. it took some hours though

Oh... and this is for one special girl named Nico.. kisses, baby!

Hope you like it....be gentle with the critics.. hehe! I know it's crap.. Bye bye!
