AH~ thank you, author... you've made me gain a quite interesting inspirations for the contest... XD
Interesting effect, but the image itself doesn't really "tell a story" or illustrate any type of "fantasy."
It is essentially just a bird gimmicked up with a glow and a bunch of swirly brushwork beneath it.
An effect, does not a "Fantasy SCENE" make. Re-read the contest description, and the emphasis on "scene."
thanks for the feedback everyone.
Art is hard to present sometimes and to see where the author thoughts are coming from.
The phoenix has long been presented as a symbol of rebirth, immortality, and renewal
this is the story behind my entry.
A phoenix is a mythical bird. It has a 500 to 1000 year life-cycle, near the end of which it builds itself a nest of twigs that then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes. The Phoenix's ability to be reborn from its own ashes implies that it is immortal.
