IF: Phoenix


The molting of the phoenix is only slightly less spectacular than its rising from the ashes...

I like his expression - you'd think he'd be used to this by now, having been reborn thousands of times!

I thought I already left a comment for this days ago. Turns out I didn't. The post-holiday's really messing with my sense of time. This is a very funny piece, dude. The colors and linework combine to make it "zip"! The unique concept, however, is what throws this one over the top.
