Artist's Comments

Did this a LOOOOOOOONG time ago. Back then I was really into Ranma 1/2 and, therefore, the whole pose/ composition might look familiar. I took the poses from a playing card but modified it so the characters were mine instead of the Ranma 1/2 characters. In the foreground is, of course, a phoenix. Middle ground is Chiyo Kaminari, a character from my story, Elements. In the back is the original version of my character, Hoshiko Azami.

The whole idea behind it was that she and Chiyo were lovers and of the same kingdom whose element was Fire. Chiyo, then a servant under her, had fallen in love with Hoshiko and became her protector after a while.

Kinda cheesy, I know, but that's how it was back in High school. I was never really good at coming up with the ideas and I still am not, but I think it came out pretty cool. I had my friend scan it and I think what she did was she scanned part of it, then put it together on her computer.

Done on Strathmore watercolor paper (I think it was pretty big paper, too... 11 x 17)
Inked and colored with Prismacolor Color Pencils

Very cool. It's nice to see how much your grasp of anatomy and style has evolved since then. The phoenix is my favorite part.
:iconlostseraph:
Thanks. I drew the phoenix without any guidelines. (Meaning I just drew it and colored it in color pencil.) And yes, I have a better grasp of anatomy now rather than then. They actually look like normal-sized people instead of oompa loompas.

still photography animation is good too. if I can animate with my camera, you can do it on your camera (you do, after all, have the same model as I do).
