SF&F Picture 6 out of 9 by Pamela Marin-Kingsley.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: Phoenix

The whole idea of this is simply taken from the legend of the Phoenix. While it is great to assign all those metaphysical properties to a bird, I think the Phoenix has more power as a metaphor for the human desire for change and immortality. So, I tried to illustrate it. This was done in Corel Painter and PhotoShop. I suppose this could be an angel or fairy/faery image as well. I wanted to make her partially nude and clothed simulataneously, hence the swirling robe in fire colors. Comments welcome.
