fantasy version of gemini
from the :iconzodiacness: project i'm doing with my friends
haxelo and itemilicious
gemini needed to have animals like my previous drawings of capricorn and pisces (felt weird without one) so off i went to research~
and discovered the Feng Huang - "Dragon and Phoenix infants" (龍鳳胎) is an expression meaning a set of male and female fraternal twins. <-- more modern meaning
Fenghuang (Chinese: 鳳凰; pinyin: fènghuáng) are mythological birds of East Asia that reign over all other birds. The males are called Feng and the females Huang. In modern times, however, such a distinction of gender is often no longer made and the Feng and Huang are blurred into a single feminine entity so that the bird can be paired with the Chinese dragon, which has male connotations.
so thats why the dragon-phoenix became incorporated with the gemini twins of zodiacness (and boy was it hard to draw all that on A4 =.=')
