Firebird you might say, 'But we already now what a Phoenix is!'. Well, you may know the myths of the Asian, or Greek Phoenix, but the Firebird is a bit different.
The Firebird, comes from Russian mythos, and is called the 'zhar-ptitsa' or Heat Bird. Originally depicted not as a crane or peacock like bird, the Russian Firebird is usually drawn as more eagle like, or at times as a pheasant like bird. It glows brightly in golds and silvers, and even it's feathers continue to glow after being removed. This firey beast doesn't burn itself in a pyre of rebirth either, hardly Phoenis like at all!
For this feature I went out into the wilds of DA and went on a hunt for some more unique Firebird and Phoenix designs to showcase.
And I even manged to hunt down three 3D Firebirds on my journey.
Please take a moment to let the artists featured know you enjoyed their works. A little comment goes a long way.
