Kz has been urging me for some time now to design a phoenix "mount" for Alma. It always seemed like an interesting enough idea, but I had to let it turn over in my mind for a while before I really acted on it.

Perhaps these two will meet in the next Alma adventure!... though that will be a long time from now, to be sure.

I still cannot believe how absolutely marvellous this turned out!
Everything is incredible. Alma and her detailed clothes and hair, down to the inner lining of her jacket, her footware and buttons.
