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
