Thanks guys! 🙂
During that week of no computer and maltese reference pics, I worked on my phoenix instead. Yah, I know, very unoriginal… but I wanted a firey bird for my first one. He’s almost done. I’m just trying to decide on the tail “bone”. It might tone it down a little; I think it may be a tad bright. Although, I kinda like it. 😆 LOL
The front of the wings also seem “unfinished” to me… although I like the back view. I may just leave them as they are. *ponders*
Oh, and the beak and feet are not bluish-purple. That’s just my camera eating colors again. >.< It's more of a shiny purplish-rose.
