artwork is done by donald kwek at utopia studio, singapore.
session 1: outline of phoenix body.
this session took about 7-8hrs because only the phoenix's head was pre-drawn and stencilled on, and the rest was freehanded by my artist.
session 2: excuse the slightly R(A) nature of the photos :-) we completed the 'wrap-around' bits in this session - which was also an outline session. the tailfeathers that wrap to the front of my torso and that traverse my right rib from just under the armpit, plus the 3 peony flowers - 2 on the abdomen area and 1 on the right buttcheek. this session took about 6-7hrs as well.
session 3: and the 1st of the color sessions. completed left wing, top tailfeather and the head of the phoenix. 8hr session. the phoenix's eyeball's not drawn in yet. only later on.
session 4: 2nd color session where we completed the right wing. had originally intended to do the tail feather that goes on my right rib as well but alas, i reached my pain threshold roundabout the time we were at the yellow bottom bits near my abdomen and so we called it a day.
session 5: completed the neck of the phoenix and one large pink tailfeather.
