SciFi and Fantasy Art: Old : Phoenix

(Very Old)

Its a phoenix.. done pretty rushed as I didnt intend it to look like anything decent.. Still doesnt I hear you say? Well :P to y'all!
Although most believe the phoenix to look like an eagle, I prefer its more heron-like form.. and a little random creativity.. still looks anorexic though..

I agree the phoenix should be more heron-like, this is a really great phoenix picture I really like the wings and I agree with the above commentors you should color it and maybe give him a background.

Thats an idea.. I wanna try a few backgrounds too.. i'll add one to my next piccy, and maybe this one 2

Well, what's there to say? A phoenix is a smooth bird, perfectly formed to fly and dive in the wind...I agree, no fat eagles can do that as a phoenix...I believe your phoenix is a 'right' phoenix. And why is it, that your 'non-decent' piccies are better than mine, I have used twenty days on? Maybe I just need more practise? *drools* It's so awsome...Oh, already said that...Better go, before I start to blabber...Well, too late =)

Thanks, I actually got this vision in a dream (3 times in a row..long story - the dream kinda helped save my life) and I managed to draw it. I STILL have to CG it..

I, like the others, love the wings! As well as the pose! Very lovely. Don't say it's anorexic! Because it's a fantasy-creature, you can draw it anyway you wish. It's your own creative style of phoenix *nod nod*. All right... I'm getting sappy. Must go to bed... *yawns, rubs eyes, drags on through the pictures*

Your not sappy! You havent seen what im like yet ;P Aww, you shouldnt deprive yourself of sleep just to comment on my piccies! *hugs*

Kinda has that suttle elagancy about it (*thinks of pokemon*), kinda hard to distinguish what your strengths are, humans or animals... if this pic was rushed id love to see one you spent a lot of time on!! *demands another pic 2*

Other pics are always in working 12 And I think im better at anything that isnt human.

He seems scared... Is it just me or is ther nothing that could scare a phoenix 1

Depends on who you ask, friend. My phoenixes arent all-mighty top of the food-chain class creatures. They may be high up on the food chain, but they still have to watch out for predators too y'know 12 This phoenix is more or less just taking off..

Scared the poor fellow looks indeed. You know you shouldnt rush your drawings, but on this one it adds the feeling of speed and movement so we'll let you off this time.

Your interpetation is totally understandable. nice drawing. u might enjoy the story of the blue heron, the animal spirit of a certain indian boy. part of the phoenix myth was that it can shapeshift and u've brought that to life 4 us...thank u 4 sharing.

This is the most ungrandiose pic of a pheonix ever. Its hard enough to find a pic, but finds like this are disapointing. Have a good day.

:-) Daniel B. Taylor replies: "Oh well, I suppose it could be worse. I could wake up one day and be have a snotty outlook on peoples casual artwork. Y'know, like you.Art is about expression, and I expressed a little something of my own. Im sure you'll get over it someday 12"

Well, I think this is just how I pictured a pheonix! They weren't meant to look eagles. I can't draw wings at all, but here you are, with those brilliant wings!
