[Art] Lyrebird as Firebird.

Lyrebird as Firebird

Based on the Australian lyrebird, this is yet another unusual interpretation of the firebird / phoenix. Crappy lighting kind of means crappy photo, next time the sun is out, I'll get a better one. The flash mangles pastels, the purple actually isn't anywhere that bright in the picture in natural light.











In the same series as:

I can't think of much more to say now than I did about the WIP... It's so luminous and glowing. It looks like Russian lacquer-work... and all those tiny details - the blue around the bird's back and breast, the reeds catching fire in tiny sparks... just wow.
