This is a piece I did for a contest going on in a Discord server, think it turned out pretty nice so thought I'd post it here too. Had a few ideas but I ultimately decided to go with my initial idea, which was to depict a Pride inspired Phoenix. The legend of the Phoenix varies some but generally it goes a little something like this; from the ashes of their predecessor, they are reborn in a blaze of glory. Depending on where the story comes from, some of the details are added or changed but that’s the general concept. I liked the concept of something beautiful rising from the hardships that came before. I also gravitated towards the Phoenix because of how fire is produced, theoretically you could make a rainbow flame like that. The color of fire is the result of whatever material is used in the process, so to get different colors, it requires different components. Without that it couldn’t be done. So, for this to work, it requires the hardships of the past and the support of a community. Both of those things I feel are essential to people feeling comfortable coming out. Hope you enjoy what I’ve done here.
