A Phoenix statue concept for a game/demo I worked on. I did my best to maintain consistency in the ornamental details across all the architecture and statues of the environment art.
I was allowed some creative freedom on the design so I re-interpreted the phoenix as an ancient order of dragon, like a divergent evolutionary line, possessing avian qualities but with a draconic affinity for fire.
