Another commission for Vangarthia, who is always wonderful to work with, and definitely has a penchant for avian and draconic charactersThis time, it's the imperious Scorcia, phoenix queen, gracefully descending one of the grand staircases of her palace - the background was definitely a challenge, but actually didn't end up posing quite as much difficulty as I anticipated, thankfully!~15 hours Adobe Photoshop CS5.
