A tattoo commission for *raveboitazz. This tattoo originally went through 3 sets of design changes before I redesigned it to this final design.

This is entirely hand-drawn and hand-colored. You might be wondering how I got both wings so symmetrical, and I was able to do that by use of graphite paper. Though, the really difficult part is getting similar color on both wings @_@ I think it looks fairy symmetrical, though. While the wing shape is supposed to be fairly exact, the small feather placements and fire are meant to be a bit different, since what bird has each feather exactly in the same spot, and when do two fires ever burn exactly the same way?

Drawn on 13"X15" Arches 140 lb hot press watercolor paper, inked with 05 micron, colored with Copic markers.

Watermark added by request.

Wow I've been doodling Phoenixes for a few days lol, searching up phoenixes cause my wings suck! I'm so jealous, you are very talented. May I ask, how did you draw the feathers? Any techniques?

Ein wahrlich wunderschönes Werk :)
Ich mag auch sehr den warmen Farbübergang und wie die Flügel in Flammen enden.

Und natürlich mal wieder gaaanz liebe Grüßchen :) Ist ja auch schon so lange her.

I'm very sorry for the mistake ^^
The picture is really awesome. I love how you did the wings and how they get into flames. The colours are so warm and great.

Wonderful work ;)
