Dang, I see I'm not the only one who drew a phoenix for this challengeDX By the way, her name's Phoenicia, how original...XD
Anyways, so this is my entry for Rein Akira's 'Your Myth' challenge^^ I've always wanted to draw a phoenix but always thought I couldn't, and I decided to really try my hardest this time:3 Not that I drew an actual phoenix of course, but it was always the wings...X3
I don't know exactly how long this took me, but I know it was several hoursO_O (And to think I made this in the middle of my exam period...XD Oh well, I really wanted to have this finished in time...:3 lol) So first I made a couple of sketches with normal grey pencil (Actually I was already satisfied with the second oneXD) then inked the lineart with 0.1 and 0.3 mm black fineliners, scanned the picture and made a background in Photoshop - took me several tries to finally get a satisfactory result:3 - then went smudging the coloured parts of the wings (duh, the feathersXD lol) but accidentally went outside the lines, and that's how the present wings came into beingXD haha. I'm pretty proud of how this came out...:3 I love the smudge tool<3 lol.
So um, enough of that talkX3 (Wow I never make such a long description do I?XD) Dedicated to Aki-chan^^ Thanks again for challenging me!:D I had a lot of fun making this^__^
Enjoy!^^
