"Tropical Iridescence" by Rachael Mayo

SciFi/Fantasy Picture 64 out of 66 by Rachael Mayo. ←Previous - Next→


	Here's a lunchtime doodle I worked on for a couple of weeks. Originally it was going to be retina-searingly bright, but when I got my expanded set of Prismacolor Verithins, I noticed that there were about four different purples... And lo, it became a purple phoenix. Go figure.

12 Oct 2008	Paperdragon	Loading... wow I love the purples, very beaufel love the way you made this look like a real living bird with great beleavable feathers, keep up great work
14 Jul 2009	Tom Draco Noir Taylor	Loading... This is truly a thing of beauty! I like purple anyway, and this color scheme is fantastic! BTW, we live pretty close to Phoenix Az. Yet we hardly ever see any phoenixes here. Strange, huh.We have just herds of dragons though. People tell me they are lizards- but just wait till their little wings grow in! Rachael Mayo replies: "LOL - Yes, as a matter of fact there are a few Pub Dragons hanging out in Phoenix even now. I suspect that’s what those little gila critters become when they’re all grown up."

1 Oct 2009	Elen K Wood	Loading... This is beautiful, even with a small color range you really can create a lot of demintion. I love it!! By the way, is this one a baby pheonix or am I still just in baby mode from puppy sitting? Rachael Mayo replies: "Thanks very much! I’ve certainly had some fun with my coloring process when I use the limited color range of the Prismacolor Verithins. It’s been educational... No, this was intended to be an adult critter. Sounds to me like you do have puppies on the brain! ^_~"
