Essentially a firebird (similar to the phoenix) interpreted through a pelican. What type of pelican? Well nothing in particular, a bit of a hybrid I guess. It's a fantasy pelican phoenix, it can look like whatever it wants to!

pastels, Mi Tientes paper (55 x 75cm), some coloured pencil on the feathers for detail.
When I watch pelicans on the docks, I've always thought of them as unreal and amazing. Now you've taken it even further. Absolutely, incredibly beautiful piece.
nice lighting on some areas and great details! you did such a great work!
this is one of your best!
