Fire Phoenix

from Imaginary Creatures by Museleon

about

Traditionally, a phoenix is an ancient long lived fire-bird believed to have risen from its own ashes. Associated with the sun, a phoenix obtains new life by arising from the ashes of its predecessor. According to some sources, the phoenix dies in a show of flames and combustion, although there are other sources that claim that the legendary bird dies and simply decomposes before being born again.
There are different traditions but my Phoenix is one loosely based on the chinese Fèng Huáng, and is a union of male and female characteristic traits, it's body symbolizing six celestial entities - sky, sun, moon, wind, earth and planets. The myth says that it appears only in places which are peaceful and devoid of chaos, hence I used the sound of the Chinese ghuzeng to depict my fire phoenix flying through the air amidst a cloak of fire.

There's a great overview of all the many traditions of the Phoenix myth here -
