Yeah. Mm, I killed it. It looks better off the scanner at least. Only partially finished, just wished to gather some input before i continued. Any ideas for colors in the remaining areas? Thx <3

NOTE: There have been a lot of inquiries recently from DA members to use this as a tattoo of their own, and though I'm flattered, I think my friend would honesly kill me if she ever found out I was lending her design out. So please know - I'd REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF YOU DIDN'T USE THIS WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. Please, and thanks.

It's stunning the way it is!

Simply beautiful. I could stare at her for hours.

The coast was lit brightly by the celestial stars and the waning moons, the ocean breathing rhythmically with surges of sea foam across the shore.

It was good to be home.

Have you tried looking at it in full view? :D that might change your mind, hee.

I kinda like it the way it is... except the eye on the tail and the beek need color. I'm a fan of no-backgrounds, and in this case, it only brings full attention to the details of the feathers.
I don't know what you dislike about this, honestly! It's beautiful.

lol--I've got my da settings so it's always full view. :3 I didn't even see it in small view. lol It does look a bit cleaner in small view, but the full view has all the lovely textures. :3

That is really fantastic! I love how graceful and composed the bird is... I can imagine the uncoloured areas actually looking quite complete as white (maybe with a bit of shading), but I can also see either green or violet in them.
Absolutely gorgeous work though. :)

I love it just how it is. The blues really add a nice touch! They almost make the phoenix more authentic, since it's not all just gold and red.

Make the remaining parts (e.g. beak) more blue/purple? I just like it too much. xD
