Queen Lumina · 6:56pm Jul 26th, 2020
Needed a break from writing. Had to go into the office to start some lab work. Took advantage of access to a scanner to digitize something I've been working on.
May I present to you:
Lumina, the Phoenix Queen
Edit: I made a rough mock-up of how large Queen Lumina is compared to a royal phoenix. Lumina's about the size of a harpy eagle, so her body's ca. 90cm (3ft.) long, and she's got a 190cm (6ft.) wingspan. For context, royal phoenixes are roughly the size of peregrine falcons.

Got whiplash for a second because my screen name is Lumina, haha!
Nice! :D
Blank White eyes...Are They shared between all Phoenixs?
I think the biggest issue is that there's no sense of scale here, since Luminia's alone in a void. Her proportions are almost finch-like, so without anything to compare her to, she feels small to me.
Don't get me wrong, she looks quite cool, but this doesn't quite communicate the sense of majesty the Phoenix Queen should have.
Pretty!

Oh, sorry for the confusion?

Thank you.

Well, in Lumina's case, they're pearly white. In the case of normal phoenixes, they're orange.

Y'know, that's a fair critique. Next time do draw her, I'll try doing something with the other royal phoenixes (Dylis, Vestian, Amara, Akari and Philomena).
She's beautiful.
you should put her to scale with a sun touched i have an image of her being almost as tall as Sunset like a compact emu and a regular phoenix almost as big as a Goshawk or asian eagle ie. queen Lamina 2 meters tall standing and the royal type being a little over a meter long 1.2 -1.6 depending on age and maybe in relation to their bond mate.

Thank you.

Actually, she's about 3ft. long and has a just over 6ft. wingspan. I've added a rough mock-up of her size compared to a 'regular' royal phoenix.

I added a second image with a royal phoenix silhouette for scale.

thank you i was expecting that the queen of all to be larger but your scale works

You're welcome, I know it'd never happen but a big blow to the stuck ups in the current capital would be Celestia moving the capital somewhere else, and only announcing the move...... after it happens.
So getting up towards my local bird's size. I live among the giants that are California Condors. That is one good sized bird, though. As expected from the queen of the phoenixes!

Not as large as I was expecting, but this does help a lot. Thanks.

You're welcome. Glad it helps.

I've had the pleasure of seeing California Condors at the San Diego Wild Animal Park. Amazing birds.

They really are... Only problem is they like to roost on roofs and can do a great deal of damage without meaning to. But, we put up with it, because awesomeness.
Thanks for the info! (I feel that this song would fit the phoenixes as a traditional ceremonial song or funeral song. What do you think?) Also, take all the time you need! It’s important to work at your own pace. As an artist and aspiring author, I completely understand.

Thanks.
I like the song, and the voice works nicely for the phoenixes, but the lyrics are a little melancholy. Nitoran phoenixes both represent the inevitability of death and the destruction fire can bring, but also life and the warmth and light that come from flame. I think lyrics that would be the most fitting would be about the birth of flame and fire, giving light and warmth to the world, only for the fire to grow, and burn everything in its path, but in the end, from the ashes of the fire, new life comes, and with it, new hope.
Awesome art chief excellent job.
