I wanted to make a gift for Caprisha and I know she loves phoenixes. Since I was still in a 'i wanna make portrait, experimental fantasy color portait" i decided to make a phoenix girl... which turned out to be not so phoenix-y. (got too flamboyant/too exaggerated. I thought simple would fit better with this girl.

This is a the photo I used for anatomy and stuff: link

Keep being yourself girl! You are incredible and your art has improved a lot! So big thumbs up to you and much <3
