    Its been about 4 years since I started, phoenix then dragon, but last fall I started again with the background. I can only book Sundays with my artist so it has taken a while since he books up fast. First picture is better, but before the two most recent sessions for coloring the galaxy and starting Hubble.

    Its been a bit complicated to say the least, especially since I didn’t plan on a full back from the start. Opinions are appreciated, might give me ideas to make it better as we continue.

    Very interesting.
    I can’t say a whole lot considering my back.

    Amazing, it’s already vintage.

    To me it looks very blurry and faded already?

    He said the Phoenix and dragon were done 4 years ago.

    The yellow and black near the Phoenix remind me of leopard print.

    The leopard print area you are talking about is the start of a nebula:

    The easiest way to explain the background is that it represents the cycle of life on a cosmic scale. Eventually when its done it will have forms of all of the the stages of life:

    Birth: the nebula
    Life: the landscape, invader Zim in his voot cruiser eventually, and the hubble because its awesome and it took the reference pictures
    Death: a dying star eventually (well not dying, we don’t want to see a good picture of a dying star so I’m using this one of a gas cloud)

    And for bonus points you can easily compare the traditional phoenix story of rebirth from ashes to the birth of a nebula and subsequent solar systems from the ashes of a star when it explodes.

    I don’t understand the dragon. Also, having the nebula and the phoenix together to represent the same thing seems a bit redundant. Maybe you could explain what inspired you to get this mix of things a little more?

    I like it but I would definitely go over the Dragon and Phoenix again, crisp them up and make them visible.
