Another wild night and another drawing of a mythical beast. I had fun with the background though!

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it. And sorry for my late reply; I've been wrestling with some stuff lately & haven't been online. :(

This is lovely. Slight chimera influences on it (Do I spy the Statue of Liberty?). Eh...maybe not, I'm writing this at...2:30... in the morning and my brain simply isn't functioning. I love designs like this. Great job on the wing primaries. Some of the phoenix reminds me of a few Middle Eastern or Hindu mythological pics, what was that scene again? I'll remember the name later but...Excellent.

I'm sorry for such a late reply, but thank you very much for your comment! I think I may have been influenced by the Middle Eastern and Hindu paintings, especially the designs on their calligraphic manuscripts. There's also a bit of influence from Persian miniatures.

Holy BOB. I'm having Yoshitaka Amano flashbacks...

I am once again floored by the level of detail your boredom brings out in your drawings.

Yes, I definitely like the background. r0x0rz...

:blush: Thank you very much! I wasn't really familiar with Amano's name until you told me it and now I remember! I've seen his artworks everywhere and yet I never could remember his name...my brain is wacky that way. I remember faces, but names tend to get elusive sometimes when I'm not concentrating :)

what a stunning beauty :+fav:
I bet you must ADORE G.Klimt and A.Beardsley, am I right?
( I'm not saying you copy them, but your style is so close to theirs! with an added pinch of visionary... )

To tell you the truth, I absolutely adore the book illustrations of the latter half of the 19th - early 20th C. illustrators, namely Beardsley, Rackham, Dulac, W. Crane, etc., and a fondness for Art Nouveau, especially from the Viennese school. :boogie:

Since you mentioned Klimt, you're the second person who's told me that my work reminded them of Klimt. :)

...maybe just because I'm the second one who knows about Klimt!
I deeply love your style
