Description EDIT:

Went back and painted on that firebird embroidery, since I was an idiot and forgot to do that in the first place. Bah.

Also, this piece is going to be featured at the @One Computer Labs in the Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center at the University of Nevada Reno.

NEVER. AGAIN.

Many of you are aware that I wanted to kill this picture when I was done with it. I don't think I'll ever do a picture like this again. You'd have to pay me, copious amounts of money.

I would spend more than 4 hours a day on this stupid thing, sometimes as much as 10, just to get everything right.

So, it's that Phoenix Rising lineart in color. Bah.

Background textures are from cgtextures.com. They're pretty awesome like that.

Leave comments. Critique on the background is not desired, I know it looks bleh. Hope you guys like it. :tired:

First one to tell me how many sapphires, rubies, and pearls Li's got on her gets cookies.

Lia (c) moi, no stealy.

Thank you so much.

I say this picture is a fluke, I don't normally do things this nice. When I do it three times in a row, that's when we'll see the pattern.

Wow, I hope you had a lot of fun with this! The textures look like they were very cool to mess with and implement. Love the bright colors! And I like th eway the title is reflected in the art itself (even the flow of her hair and dress!).

The only textures used were for the background. Everything else was handpainted. ^^

I had fun, but looking back, it was definitely mingled with frustration. There were still things that were left out that I have to go back and fix, but I've got other things on the slate.

It's 36 pearls, 25 sapphires and 2 rubies. Is your hand dead yet from all the work that went into this madness?

It's actually not that bad if I keep my wrist loose and the painting more fluid.

I think the next goal should be to make this dress/outfit in real life. That would surely be an adventure.
