Pheonix Crew

Now when I uploaded the lineart a lot of people asked who these characters were,...well there is a clue in the name... 'pheonix'... rising from the ashes and all that
These are my old characters! Ones I had long forgotten about, I decided to do a big picture re-creating some old designs.

Trinity and Destiny (the one at the top and the one with the white-ish hair) were the first characters I ever created. I remember watching digimon and thinking 'ohh I'll make my own characters' though when I drew them they wern't very manga styled XD (Check out the originals link)
Jy (black and yellow one) was an old design I am still evry fond of... probubly still one of my best outfit designs!

Destiny and Trinity are actually doing the 'moves' I originally gave them 'Thunder Ball' and Neon Lightning'
The Destiny character is actuly my namesake... I used to RP as her long long ago


Okay; onto the actual picture.
MAN I have no idea how long this took! My computor tells me I started it in May 2006... however I think its even earlier than that! Its been 6 months on and off for colouring this one... true I've done other projects inbetween but i've constanty done little bits to this

Im pretty pleased with the image... with any picture that was drawn a while ago mistakes creep out at you that you wouldn't/couldn't see or fix before, so I know there are quite a few things not spot on. But I am very pleased with how i've done the characters... esecially when I look at the originals! Jy has always been a fave desgn of mine and it was so much fun doing her here, Bip looks just adorable... maple looks a liiiittle strange but I have to say her eyes were a triumph, I do love the way the colours all blend in them ^^ Desting looks funky and enjoyed re-designing her outfit (her original was pretty unusuable ) Trinity, though I like how she looks, shes not like id imagine the original Trinity, the original trin was very classically beautiful, but my version here looks pretty in a different way  just if I did her again she would look different...


peace and love to you all x
