| 10 Feb 2003 | Dragoncat | WOW, another star blower awayer. I like phoenixes, especialy the rare sorts like green and ice( though is that not a phoenix but an iceling or Dregayin ???) I also care about the environment. It is brilliant. Do more ecological posters, please. | |
| 21 Apr 2003 | Crystalin | This is a beautiful, and powerful piece. I love the way you did the shading with the different colors in the phoenix. Plus I'm really glad to hear of other people who still care about our greatest provider. I pity people who think that the world is only for humans.Thank you for your kind comment! What if the world is only for humans - maybe it was here to be looked after and be brought to perfection by us, but now the destructive way we treat our home and everything in it is only a symptom of the dark things we do to ourselves and each other. -_- | |
| 30 Apr 2003 | Jasmin Islam | I agree with Crystalin, this picture is powerful through its beauty. What really thrills me is the ideology of this. Phoenixes represent rebirth and renewal; and for me, trees represent growth. By constructing this phoenix with leaves, I think you've created a perfect and very potent message of hope.Yup, such symbolism had crossed my mind when I was making this image.  I'm glad you were able to see it. | |
| 6 May 2003 | Rebecca Egebjerg | Very pretty. Brilliant use of colour. What word could I use? ...masterpiece! If I was a moderator (but sadly Im not) this would be amongst the mod's choices right now!Thanky you! Actually I think this was selected for MC, just after it was introduced to Elfwood.  | |
| 6 Oct 2003 | Laura L. Cochrane | This is amazing! I love the colours you have used i the phoenix, they work really well! and the earth that looks really gd here! cool!Thank you! | |
| 7 Dec 2003 | Majik | This is a brilliant picture. We should all care about the environment, especailly those of us who are Christians. God gave us this planet and we haven't been very good stewards of it have we?  Natalia Nikitin replies: "Nope, not at all! People have a tendancy to take things for granted in many ways." | |
| 4 Apr 2004 | Light_of_laurelin | This is very beautiful... you're very talented to be able to create one picture that harbors so much meaning. Personally I'm very afraid for our world sometimes, what with all the things we humans are doing to it... (I could go on like that for a while so I'll stop.) Anyway, Earth is our home, and *everyone* should work to be a better steward of it.Thank you! Yes, as I have said before, we only look after Earth as well as we look after ourselves and each other... everything is interconnected. | |
| 12 May 2004 | Annie | Wow that's really good I makes me just want to...hug a tree or something. Hehe, never thought it'd have this effect. | |
| 5 Dec 2007 | Joelle Duran | I love this--especially how you made the feathers into leaves, and turned the symbolism of the phoenix more outward--renewal for more than just itself, in a sense. Beautiful work on that tail! | |
| 20 Jul 2008 | Eseme L Rallen | Ooooh, How did I miss this one? New desktop!  Natalia Nikitin replies: "Hehe, thanks, but isn’t it a bit small? " | |
