Description
EDIT: Updated version. Added a little bit more sharpness to the feathers and detailed the head a little bit, but also preserved the original aspect of the image. This was done because i entered it for approval in expose 8Hope you still like it
------------------
Hello again, no time no see. I've been busy but here's one for you awesome people. I tried to imagine the well-known Phoenix bird in my own way, so i drawn this swan-like creature with a long tail and huge wings. Phoenix is also known as the Firebird but I think it's because of the beautiful colors it has.. and actually not because its made of fire.
So.. between reality and fantasy, i guess this is the way Phoenix looks like.
Aniways.. it took long hours.. sketch was drawn on A4 paper then painted over in Photoshop CS2.
Cheers people..glad to see you again
------------
Thank you all for the kind words. I am completely bound with this piece of work and I am really glad it's gotten so much appreciation.
You guys made it possible, so I will upload a PRINT version as a gift for more than 1K faves on it.
Happy birthday DeviantART, I dedicate my phoenix to you.

there is something inside you that inspired you to create this phoenix...something that makes you identify with it...it might be your strenght to rise when you feel down...your desire to fulfill your dreams...and all the things that make you the special person you are...take care

A swan as a phoenix actually makes sense! It is very beautiful, the sparkle caught my eye at once!

The colours have been rendered beautifully. I think this is a great visualisation of the phoenix.

This is the most beautiful rendition of the phoenix that I've seen in ages, and I totally agree that it shouldn't be confined to representations involving fire.
You've really captured the beauty of the phoenix with the elegant pose and through the lovely flowing movement of its wings and body, this is so gorgeous!
You've also got a great eye for detail - I could pick out the intricacies of each feather all day. XD Excellent work! I don't know why this pic doesn't have more feedback!
