I knew I wanted to do a phoenix of sorts, so I searched for a LONG time to find just the right bird to transform. I'm rather pleased with the source I found and with the final product I arrived at. If you have a minute PLEASE look at the high res, there's a ton more detail than you can really see in the small image :) (5 years and 2943 days ago)

Would have been great if you had shown the scorched, blackened & blistered flesh on the hand.
great idea CMYK46 I didnt think in that. but if you really think, there are not fire animals. so, this is not suposed to burn. so is safe to have it in your hand.
