A full sleeve phoenix design inspired by the composition and form of a traditional phoenix painting.
The phoenix has long been depicted as a symbol of peace, prosperity, and noble, auspicious energy.
This full sleeve design was inspired by the composition and form of a phoenix in traditional paintings.
The rising wings and long falling tail feathers were arranged to flow naturally from the shoulder down to the forearm.
Red flames move between the weight of the dark feathers and the softer flow of the white feathers, giving the phoenix a stronger sense of energy and presence.
I wanted the phoenix to feel longer and more alive on the arm, while keeping its noble spirit and movement.
