Artist's Comments

Started this around July or August, finished in November or December, just now getting around to posting it. XD

This was a really difficult concept to get out of my head and into paper. No matter how many times I'd sketch it, something would end up going wrong. Once I had the phoenixes down, the colors for the pair were an entirely new battle. Finally, the background made me art-blocked for a good couple months until I finally finished it. But finally! It's here! And I never want to draw another leaf again!

And then, I had to get around to setting my scanner up again! XD Hope you all enjoy. This is also supposed to be a really symbolic piece, so be nice in your crits. XD

Nice detail! All those vines must have taken a while to draw & colour in. As for symbolism...I am not one of those people who finds symbolism in art (and literature), so I'm clueless. ;p

Please visit my gallery. I would be very much honoured & appreciative. :)

Thank you! <3 As for the symbolism, it's another mushy lovey-dovey piece. Notice how the tails are intertwined, like lovers' hands?

Ah, yes, I did noticed them being intertwined, but like I said, I'm so horrible when it comes to symbolism. *Laughs at myself* But I think that's great you can draw that sort of symbolism into your arwtork. :thumbsup:

I like it. :) I think you could have taken some of the elements further, but being a personal, symbolic piece, it's really exactly where it needs to be. Very nice.

This one fought with me for ages. I wanted to do so many things with it, but it ended up not panning out. XD Like originally, I wanted the background black for high contrast with the birds, but then I was like "well crap, then that would drown out the outlines".

(this is Elizabeth)I love it! I love all your stuff, tho and I don't really feel like art is critiquable (yes, made up word)all I can say is it resonates with me :)

...I can see why you'd never want to draw another leaf again XD

The phoenixes look stunning. I love how you drew their form. And the glow on the stems totally adds to it <33

Love it, love it, love it.

On another, more sour note...

WHERE THE HECK HAVE YOU BEEN?! ;A; I miss youuuuuuuuuu *throws an object somewhat resembling a fryingpan in the general direction of your head*
:iconseeliecourt:
I have no idea why I'm just now getting this in my message center. :(

It's been a very busy time.
