This is a painting I did as part of another project. This is a digital painting but note that I restricted myself from blending the colors.

Earlier, we saw how to paint glowing objects by taking lightning as an example. That technique can be used for other things like sparkles, energy beams and flames – not just for lightning.
In this article, we will discuss how to further integrate these glowing objects with the rest of the painting. We might put in a lot of detail into painting them, but if we do not consider the effect they have on their surroundings, the glowing object will seem to stand out. It would seem like it was just pasted over after doing the rest of the painting.
Here is a quick concept sketch I made of a Fire Sorceress. Notice how I painted the fireball in her hand – I used the same principle as I did with the lightning in the earlier exercise. But it still seems a bit odd, in spite of having the fireball show through her fingers – it is sort of detached.
To fix this, we have to consider how the fireball would effect the rest of the scene. In this case, we need to consider the light hitting the form of her body.

After drawing the Phoenix, I just felt like doing a digital painting from it.
The digital painting is done using GIMP and Wacom Intuos3.
See a larger view, and print, see Phoenix – Painting at devaintART.
For those interested, I had take a couple of intermediate screenshots. Head over to CGPainting.com thread to read through it – Phoenix – Painting thread.
