The Phoenix - Firebird



Firebird was created by Ahyicodae of DeviantArt. I just love this work. The realistic images mixed with the surreal image of the "phoenix" is amazingly well done. I also really like the way the the fire on the bird looks as well as the fact the bird seems to light up the sky around it. The warm, bright colours of the bird also very nicely contrast the darker grasses on the ground helping to create an, in my opinion, interesting layout.

Firebird was one of two ideas to create a phoenix. The original work is was called Phoenix and is looks very much like Firebird. I like the fact the artist resided to post both versions. It's like seeing part of the design and thinking process and in a way it lets you go through that process with the artist.

  1. It's a great picture no doubt and the tones that create that sunset feel is really nice. It gives off a radiant and warm feel. I agree with you completely I like your taste in art. However, the picture itself is somewhat simple. Not that simplicity is a bad thing, but what do you think the artist is trying to say with this piece? I'm interested in what you think :3
