Peacock Phoenix

Well its almost Christmas and I figured I would post something that shows that I'm not fully dead in the artistic universe. My friend's grandma has been so kind to me while I have been here in Texas that I thought an Xmas gift was in order. I asked my friend and he told me she likes birds so I decided what would look good. Well a phoenix with peacock feathers seems to fit the bill. Take it from me, peacock feathers in markers is rather hard to do right.
