Phoenix - What is Risen

Description

Digital Art entry for the Elementals Contest. Disappointed: Did not place or receive mention.

I've been thinking about the Elementals contest since I first saw the journal. I wanted to do something with fire from the first. This is the third or fourth model that I've cut out with the intention of entering the contest. I finally received my inspiration two days ago. I had an idea for her hair and when I saw this model I knew exactly where I wanted to go with the image. Some of the inspiration may have come from that I've just finished Gena Showalter's novel: Burning Dawn in which the female character was half-phoenix. In the book, they are called fire-breathers and the 'grave-challenged' because they continuously rise from their own ashes after death, thus the title "What is Risen."

Over all, I am extremely pleased with how the image turned out and I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do.

Hey! How are you? I wanted to say I love your work! I am going to apologize because I have used this image on my Facebook profile and for some reason could not find the original artist. I dont know where I got the image. I did a reverse-image search and finally found ya! As I'm reading I wanted to say I'm sorry you did not place or get a mention for the Elementals contest. I see the published date of this as August 24, 2014. I just found your image a few months back and was immediately drawn to it. I am obsessed with the phoenix and have an unfinished tribal phoenix tattoo on my back. I went through a difficult period in my life a few months back. To make a long story short I came across your image online, around this time and fell in love with it! Now that I know it was created by you I am going to credit you. I apologize again. Artists' deserve both recognition and respect for their work. I will continue looking through your profile. I'm new to deviant art. Look forward to seeing more of your work )0(
