Well, I used this picture of a phoenix for reference for this : http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~8phoenix/Phoenixes
But you will see just how much I changed to make it my own.
Anyway, I did this for a friend of mine who is going through a serious trauma in her life right now, so I wanted to do something metaphorical for her which is why I chose the Phoenix. For her I wanted it to symbolize being able to be reborn into happiness from the dark ashes of her trauma. I am so very wise...*cough*
And she gets credit for the name. I couldn't think of anything for a title, so she wanted it to be called Flame of an Eternity to symbolize our friendship. She is such a sweetheart. Anyway, I hope you guys like it.

 thedemonsessTotal Posts: 530May 3, 2006 9:48 amI saw the original picture. I have to say, this one's a lot better. You've done such a wonderful job. My trial for Corel IX expired a long while ago, and now I have to get it, but it's so expensive! Anyways, wonderful pic, hun. Keep up the good work!! --- |

 Lady Anime79 (Reply)Total Posts: 2839May 3, 2006 10:34 amHow expensive is it in your neck of the woods? I got mine for about a hundred dollars which is not bad at all in my opinion. Compared to some of the other Paint Shops, it is actually cheap down here in good ole Nebraska. I saw one paint shop that was like 1200 dollars! No kidding! Well anyway, I only used that pic on the net to get some idea of how a phoenix is supposed to look. And then I went and did my own thing with it. I am glad you like it hun. I think it is my favorite pic of mine so far. --- Laughter is the best medicine and your face is curing the world. |

thedemonsess (Reply)Total Posts: 530May 3, 2006 4:57 pmIt really depends on where you look. Generally speaking, from where I looked around, Corel Painter IX costs about $400-$600 Canadian (that's probably about...let me think...$250-400? --- |

Lady Anime79 (Reply)Total Posts: 2839May 9, 2006 7:38 pmThank you thank you m'dear. Well this is actually the first phoenix I have ever attempted to draw in my life. And I am really happy with how it turned out. This is probably my most favorite of all of my drawings. I spent 7 friggen hours on this. 7 hours! I had to sew my hands back on twice. Well actually, it was only one time, but I sewed them on the wrong arms, so I had to fix them. >< But alas, I finally got it done. And I am too nice to my friends. I think I have some disease of some sort. But she is one of the lucky ones that I haven't eaten yet, I have a bad habit of eating my friends when I get bored which is why I don;t have any anymore. Ah well. Thanks again for your woderful compliments. --- Laughter is the best medicine and your face is curing the world. |

Cokekitty (Reply)Total Posts: 2618May 10, 2006 7:19 amWow. I don't think I've ever done anything for seven straight hours. --- |

Not even sleep. But yeah, you really do got to watch when you're sewing your hands back on. I've seen people sew hands on their feet (*sigh* that was so funny, too.) ![[emoticon]](http://www.paperdemon.com/images/forum/mysmilies/15pxyellow_biglaugh.gif)
And you're welcome for the compliments. ![[emoticon]](http://www.paperdemon.com/images/forum/mysmilies/15pxyellow_grin.gif)
