Description
Alright, this is for all you Zutarians out there!!I know this isn't a real original idea, but I wanted to try my hand at mythical critters and this is what happened! I started looking up pictures and info about Chinese dragons... and then there was stuff about the Phoenix... and then there was this!...
"In China, early artifacts show the Phoenix (female) as intimately associated with the Dragon (male) -- the two are portrayed either as mortal enemies or as blissful lovers. When shown together, the two symbolize both conflict and wedded bliss."
(I got this info from: [link] )
So, that was the deciding factor for me... yep, it totally screamed Zutara! And ya know what's funny? I found out that the Chinese dragon is the controller of lakes, streams, and rain! While the Phoenix dies in fire and rises from the ashes and represents fire and the sun! So I guess I kinda flipped the elements... but I still like it!!!
(.... Oh, and I just want to live in my own Zutarian world so I don't want to have a big discussion about why Zutara won't happen... or what not... )
Anyway, I hope y'all like it! I had a ton of fun drawing this!... and yes, I was crazy enough to draw all those scales on that dragon XD
Zutara belongs to Nickelodeon... apparently...

it looks graet but a bird and a dragon ... Birds belong to air ... (so that's kinda creapy) but nice work

Oooh, very nice.
One nitpicky detail that I'd like to point out, and what I would to if I were drawing this, is that giving the dragon five talons would make him royal. On ancient Chinese royal robes, the dragons had five talons, while dragons shown elsewhere had only four.
But you were the one drawing it. it's a gorgeous piece, and I love the feel of an old motif it brings.
