Artist's Comments

Ok...the new category thing needs some getting used to...apparently, manga/anime is now it's own category.

Anyway. This is a "topless girl" for No such luck as fan-service, I'm keeping my art rated G or PG for now =D I don't know if a phoenix keeps the memories of its past life with it when it burns to ashes and reborns, so that's why the uncertain look on her face.

Done in ballpoint pen - aprox. 2hrs (probably less...)

[EDIT] by my good friend She's so amazing with words...

She wakes unclothed and looks down at the ashes still clinging to her skin
old feathers dead feathers
she sheds them off
new life new fire
She is young again and soft light springs from between her shoulder blades
dreams of flame dreams of flight
She touches the back of her neck, watches her reflection trace the words
marks of phoenix marks of wings
Does she remember?
sacrifice renewing life
She spreads her wings

Um.....I didn't do anything to my avatar....I was thinking of making a new one (stop saying what I'm thinking!!! I had the topless girl already in mind when you mentioned it, and I was thinking of a new avatar when, again, you mention it! :stab:), but I didn't yet...

hm..:?

:O It's so great! I love the design! It's simple yet complex if that makes any sense whatsoever. ^^; I'm curious, did you use any pencil base sketching??? Regardless it's still really amazing for ballpoint pen. :D Kirei!

Erm. <._.>

Thank you ^^ I used pencil to line out basically where I wanted everything to go, then it's all pen =D
