Description I had some difficulty deciding firmly on a title for this one.
This was a lot of fun to do though. I think I'm getting back to myself in terms of color usage.

Love the way the wings complement the background. Very nice.

If you get a chance, please check out the comic I am writing/illustrating called TALK! -> [link] - Please 'like' it if you do

Cheers,
Stephen

The detailing on the wings is gorgeous, and I love the colors you've chosen, they're so vibrant. One thing I noticed, the upper arms seem a little too thin in comparison to the torso. Great work!

Thank you very much!
I agree with you on the arm thing; anatomy is one of my weaker points and I'm trying to get better at it. I'll try to go back and fix that a bit once I get the chance.

I really like it. This time, the attention to detail that you put into your work has really worked in your favour on the wings, gives it the impression light almost might be shining through the feathers. And it's very stylistic? Only niggle I might have is that it looks like (regardless of whether it was meant or not lol) that there's fabric over the feet... just so you don't have to draw feet. xD
Definitely one of my more favourite pieces of yours recently ^-^

Thank you so much!
I'm still trying to work at getting better about the detail thing; I've actually been a lot looser in some of my recent stuff (or trying to be); but I'm glad that it at least worked here. This is a pretty strong light source, so I wanted that to show through!
Ahaha, I know what you mean about the feet. xD; That..wasn't really intended. The cloth is meant as a shield as well as something that the figures are birthed from/connected to. The folds weren't done just so I wouldn't draw feet.. xD; sorry!

Really awesome, I love all your newer pieces actually (lemmings, cradlesong and this)
On this I especially like the paintlike texture, and the details on the wings as well as composition/colour scheme.. honestly my only nitpick is the fabric has too much small strokes, and not enough large folds, it doesn't seem to behave in a very fabriclike way - but that depends on what kind of fabric it is supposed to be I guess, some fabrics do prefer to take very small creases like that, but there's usually a mix of bigger folds too.
The character body is very interesting.. when I squint my eyes from a distance it really looks very androgynous, almost feminine in the chest and shoulders, but then when I look closer it's more masculine but a gentle kind of masculine. Kinda otherworldly, I do very much like it.

Thank you so much!
I still haven't been able to achieve the paintlike texture I'd like to achieve (in part due to my program; in part due to inexperience), but I'm trying to get better. xD I see what you mean about the fabric, and I agree. I may go back and fix that, then... I'm still learning, so the critique is really helpful
Ahaha! Thanks! One part of this series is taking a masculine figure and feminizing/childizing/androgynizing it (not sure if those are even words).
Thanks so much, again!

Thanks! This figure isn't actually a phoenix, but I suppose some allusions to a phoenix could definitely be drawn!
