Artist's Comments

You see many pictures of phoenixes "rising from the ashes," but very few pictures of them "going down in flames." Here's one nearing the end of its 1000 year life cycle.

(Its head plumes were based on those of a secratary bird, and the elongated feathers on the wings were inspired by those of a standard-winged nightjar.)

Cool! I love the expression on the phoenix's face, very tradgic (sp?).

And some sources say it turns into a worm before becoming a chick that becomes a phionex. Wierd.

Woah, I never heard that "legend variant" before. Weird, indeed.

Thanks. I don't mind comments on older stuff (as long as it's not hideous stuff that I'm ashamed of now [which this picture isn't]).
