The ancient giant bird Garuda. Like the phoenix, it can never die as it is reborn from its ashes.

Description:

:bulletred:The Garuda is a huge crane-like bird. Its body feathers are red and its head/neck is golden orange. The tip of its wings and its face have black feathers. Some blue and green ones are also found on the Garuda's chest and its wing's shoulders.

:bulletred: It draws its powers (mainly healing and fire/light elemental powers) from the red fiery gem on its chest. Destroying this gem is the only way of preventing the Garuda from rising again. It is not an easy task and is strongly advised against, since the Garuda is one the rare Legendary beasts that cares about other life forms and will use its healing powers on them.

This painting has wonderful colors for a phoenix! especially with these accents of the greenish and blueish tones. Just gorgeous.
I nearly feel the hot flames.

His pose is also perfect. This is truly a phoenix, a dropdead gorgeous birth. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />

The texture of this work fits so well to the theme. And i love how you painted the feathers.

But how I love this artwork I have a little problem. I think it is a pity, that you cutted the wings. If the canvas would be only a bit bigger, the whole picture would be perfect.

Anyhow, I really like this one!
