PHOENIX


This is actually a paint over of a sketch that was languishing in my "to do" folder. I think my original intention was a cyber mecha queen(sort of) that wasn't going anywhere. I started just throwing shapes and lines on top. As I was playing with layers, this bird like shape sort of appeared. It ended up with an abstract quality that is different from what I usually do. More experiments!

Whoa! That turned out SWeeeeet! If the old 80's cartoon "Silver Hawks" was to be made into a movie....this is what the concept art would look like.
