This account will have both my pixel work and normal work on it so it may get a bit confusing XD

Collab with the awesome dragonspixels on DA :D

We wanted to do a large pixel of talonflame as we both love its design ^^. We actually agreed on it just as X and Y had come out as I recall and she had a talonflame with the ability flame body, which was the inspiration for this :)

I did the colouring and shading and :dragonspixels: did the sketching and lines.

The phoenix theme here is linked to the new year- as a certain Guru dragon once said:

"Anything bad that happened in 2013, for any person in the world, this year is a chance to rise above the flames that burnt you last year and put the bad things behind you. Be headstrong and move into the New Year with a positive outlook on your life!"
