SciFi and Fantasy Art: Firebird (or: Phoenix, take 2!)

Using some suggestions from commentors on my 'Phoenix' picture, (thanks to Liu Yiqing!!) I did this. It took an embarrasingly short time to create. It almost feels....cheap! But thank you all for your comments.....which pic do you like better?

This drawing is just magnificient! The softness and smoothness of the different shades of warm colours, like fire, really render to perfection the image of this mystical bird. Simply wonderful, nothing else to add, really!

I can't decide between the to phoenixes(spelling??). I love them both =)

Well, the Pheonix picture is more easily seen because of how it frames the picture. The Firebird blends into its self a little bit, but once you look closer, it really draws you in. It also fills the space better than the Pheonix picture does. I like them both.

WEll I haven't seen the other one yet, coz I'm going through these in order, but I like this one. I think those yellow bits really bring the bird out.

This is a very beautiful picture. I made as my portrait for a game I play called Furcadia and I have gotten many compliments for it (of course I do not claim it as mine! >.<12.

this is a lot better than phoenix #1. The only thing I'm not crazy about is, the pointed flame above its eye, looks like a beak. So to me the neck looks like its really distorted. Of course that same flame could be an ear, and thus it would be missing its beak - but the neck would appear to be more natural and less broken. Still pretty good though.
