MSED: Bird a Day #67 - Marika's Phoenix

He turned out much more "sweet" looking than I intended. I guess this is the way he wanted to look. Try as I might to be a serious artist/person I guess I will always be a (girly) kid inside and it will reflect in my work.

  1. So glad you keep making birds! He's so intricate! I really like the pink and black texture in between the green swirls on his neck. It's so funny what you said about being a serious artist vs girly - I struggle with the same thing!!! :)

  2. This is so beautiful! It must have taken awhile to do with all the little details. I really feel you on the serious vs girlie. I tend to gravitate towards darker images but anything I try and paint or draw always comes out cheerful and sunny!
