Day 79: I'm Seeing A Pattern

A week goes by, and the two Beyblade boys come back in with a whole collection of tops this time. It seems they had been discussing all week which ones they wanted to challenge me with.

The younger boy picked another flying creature, and the older one chose another forest dwelling monster. I'm pretty sure they are also reading these posts, so I may be tipping them off to my suspicions... but I wonder if they will bring me the same types again next Wednesday. I wonder if these are the types of monsters they like to use in their battles, so they collect only flying and hairy man eating creatures.

Today I will address the Phoenix. I admit I've never been asked for the fire bird before, so I didn't have one readily available. I thought about modifying a parrot, but didn't think it would be large enough. I contemplated changing the colors on my eagle... but it's shape didn't look right for a phoenix.

In the end I just made something from scratch.  It was had to get a viewpoint on the final product that showed the full shape.
I think it turned out well.. it became a mix between a turkey design and a bird of paradise.

Looks like I'm adding Phoenix to the list of designs I'll have to work on.

See you tomorrow.

  9. The grand finale should have been setting that Phoenix on fire so it could have been reborn!
