The other day I was doing some breathing exercises to help with a specific stress issue I'm always dealing with, and I had closed my eyes and was having some pretty intense visuals. Then this idea came..and I just drew it...I dunno. It feels pretty personal...
I shrunk it down but it's 11". It's kinda what happens when you're trying to relax and something pleasant enters your mind, and you still have things that are hurting you. Tacoma in a sort of gryphon form, with the wings of a phoenix. Her wings are on fire because a curse had fallen on her while she was working on freezing a hot forest and she's still breathing out ice and snow, trying to cover what she had missed before she can no longer fly and sacrifices herself to be re-born as a complete gryphon, while trying to create the right environment for herself. And she's hurting like hell but is still working at it for as long as she can. Hooray for therapy art.. Used a combination of different pencils to give the wings that extra crispy look.
