Philbur the Phoenix

meet Philbur.
he is beautiful.

i apologize for any photos that may be lacking. its next to impossible to take decent pictures of your own arm. especially the back! i actually stood on my bad so i could be close to a light source and hoped for the best. so here you go!

his pretty pretty face



















his sexy snake body



















my super gorgeous red winged shoulder



















the back of my arm, where some of the glorious feathers are














more feathers upfront



















and my fat FOREARM. yes the rest of my arm is swollen too, but i didnt even get tattooed down there. yay for popeye arms?














sorry to sound braggy but i am so so so so so so so happy with it!

i loooooooooooove the legs! and the head, but the legs! they were my fav part in the outline too....

so there ya have it! cant wait til its not scaly anymore.
we are going to add one more feather at my elbow in the back where there is a big blank space.. and the feathers beneath is body will be shaded grey and red like the wings.. the back ground will fade from orange around the sunrise to grey and black to make some parts pop more... and the negative space swirly bits will be thickly outlined in a peacock blue.. but left blank.

3 more hours in jan!!!!
