phoenix in the sun 1

the contrasts in this artwork is pretty good, but it still misses a bit depth. when it comes to the use of colors it look pretty neat altought a little stronger colors wouldnt hurt the apperance of it. the background fits pretty good and i asume this is suppose to be a shoulder tattoo design. however this will not be a very easy design to tattoo because of the use of very shallow shading on the phoenix.

the shape and dynamic of the phoenix lookpretty good and its a great pluss with all the big feathers.

all in all a design well over average here on da, but try working on the colours next time to make them more intence and outstanding.
