I'm trying out some new techniques with the phoenix in this image. I'm fairly pleased with the results of the feathers so far. My only issue that I've had so far is that my current technique is rather time consuming. I don't even want to think about doing the wings. ; I don't really like the style of the wings in the pencil sketch, the end result will most likely be a bit more angular I think. I may end up doing the line work for the wings in PSP instead of Photoshop. Any suggestions?
