Little phoenix

A few people around me are having some pretty bad moments thanks to jerks trying to break their hearts, resolution or might. So it inspired me to draw a phoenix for all of them. :D

A phoenix is a mythical bird with a colorful plumage and a tail of gold and scarlet (or purple, blue, and green according to some legends). It has a 500 to 1000 year life-cycle, near the end of which it builds itself a nest of twigs that then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix or phoenix egg arises, reborn anew to live again. The new phoenix is destined to live as long as its old self.

This is just a little one.

Noticed like halfway thru the inking that it kinda looked like Antimony from Gunnerkrigg court, proving once and for all that Tom Siddell is so awesome that he’s invaded our subconscious.

Anyways, speaking of Mythology, I decided to order a pizza yesterday. Because i'm lazy and flat bread dipped in sauce is yummy. The delivery man was Indian. When reached our apartment, I opened the door to greet him and he saw immediately all the Indian Batiks around the apartment depicting various gods. Which made him really happy. I told him I wasn't of the faith, I just liked the mythology and the beauty of the Batiks. Then didn't stop him from telling me all about Vishnu and co, and his favorite stories about them. He then looked at his watch and rushed out, leaving me to savor both pizza and a mythology lesson! Yum.
