The Phoenix is in Flight!!

[mflintjer]

Just getting a feel of what some of you all think. I've been working on this for a little while, and wanted to get some input from you people

I'm not too sure of the style, that has yet to be determined

 

[nitrobutler]

It'll make a nice tat

 

[mflintjer]

here is the second installment of this work -- I didn't use the ever-popular bevel and emboss -- instead using the satin and a nice little gradient with a touch of inner-glow

 

[mflintjer]

here is another view of it -- sot sure of the BG

 

[Welles]

Totally nifty design, mflintjer! When I saw it, my first thought was.... chrome! B7

 

[mflintjer]

\:] \:] \:]

I will give that a try -- regular and firey chrome styles to see which looks nicer

Here is another installment -- it might be a bit too busy, but just trying different things

 

[Welles]

Oho! I like that last one!
:} :} :}

 

[mflintjer]

;\ -- thanks man. was tooling around with some chrome, and am liking it a bit -- the chrome seems to saet off the firey BG -- will post a shot in a minute

 

[mflintjer]

here is the chromed version -- \:] \:]

 

[Joy Foraker]

Very original! I like all versions. Nice to see the progression of thought and technique.

 

[mflintjer]

I try to do different things as I go along -- lets me see what looks good and not. As well, I get practice at using different techniques and tools at the same time

The design is so cool you could probably do anything to it and it would still look great...fur filter the puppy it won't matter...very nice work,
lasa

 

[mflintjer]

mflintjer you are having too much fun with that eagle -- nice versions!

 

[mflintjer]

thanks Joy

Well, now I have even more reason to start messing around with that Phoenix -- My parents just bought me Adobe Creative Suite CS2!! [stuned] :surprised: :surprised: [stuned] -- 8} 8} 8}

They said it was a combo birthday/xmas present! I already have it installed and am trying to get the creative juices flowing again!!

 

[Welles]

Happy Birthday/Christmas, mflintjer!

 

[Sean]

Here, here! 8} And nice work.
