allright just finished this a little moment ago ( next to adding the title ) in scraps [link] you can find some steps i did before i came to this

The return of the phoenix , i think everybody know this mythical creature Every morning at dawn, the sun god would stop his chariot to listen to the bird sing a beautiful song while it bathed in the well ,the phoenix represent the sun, which dies every night and is reborn the next morning.
The main feature of the phoenix is that it is reborn through fire: when it gets old it will make a nest with aromatical herbs and set it on fire. The bird perished in the flames, but from the red egg in the nest a new bird came. There is only one Phoenix at a time

they are related tp The Avalerion birds- there is only ever one pair of these birds. Every 60 years they produce 2 eggs, and when the eggs hatch the parents drown themselves. They are found in India... ( nice to know )

here in this , the faerie is summoning the phoenix to get back into the egg, so the night could fall... and in the morning she set the bird free again, some kind my own version of a greek legend of the sungod
I got some very strange but pleasent effects by doing some lightrays on the clouds, somehow they got to be more 3D lol, something to remember when i paint clouds and want them to come more in the front
brushes used grass ( what would i be without these ) moonbrush, and hair ( looks a bit like mine today untamed | ) from my stock
