Yes I'm alive, blame uni work for my absence, fie fie to the education system! <img src="http://images.deviantart.com/emoticons/icon_lick.gif" align="middle" alt=":p (Lick)" title=":p (Lick)" border="0" /> Ahem. ^.^;; Well, I finally got around to completing this - I started it about two weeks ago, and it's been sitting around on my desk for ages until I finished it today.... <img src="http://images.deviantart.com/emoticons/icon_lick.gif" align="middle" alt=":p (Lick)" title=":p (Lick)" border="0" /> well anyway, er, this was my attempt at trying to do a different take on how I usually draw Phoenixes, it's mildly depressing I know but eh, not even the life of a Phoenix is all sugar and roses, right?? ^.^;;; The inking near killed me again, or rather, nearly killed my pencil and my colour pencils smelled funny after not using them for ages, but it all came together in the end. Now I reeeeaaaallly need to finish pics I owe to people.... O____o;;; and maybe get a diary entry in too.....
Mediums used in case anyone's interested - prismacolour pencils for the phoenix, ink for the black strands and paintshop pro 5 background. And er, that's it I guess... =P

This is gorgious Zen and actually, although I hate to say this, it really reflects how I'm feeling right now. I simply need a little freedom from everything, kind of like your phoenix does.
Although, even if I didn't feel that way, I'd still favourite this simply because it is beautiful and show talent on your part. I hope you don't strech yourself to fair over the next little while with pressures and due dates. Anyway, great work and definitely a new favourite for me.

Wow! Another beautiful job Zen! Your style works so well with phoenixes O_O! The lighting is amazing again and that black stuff looks really cool. Feel sorry for the poor birdy (oh crap, I almost sent it though and it said "poo birdy" x_x)

I'm not against whats right, I'm not for what wrong: I'm just making my way and I'm gone.
