Felt like doing more digital so I randomly picked Phoenix to color in. I wanted to try a new shading technique that involved using new layers to add a more "liquid shading" effect (cell shading) and I think it looks a lot better. It's subtle due to all the orange in the image, but it's noticeable if I turn it off, so I like it.
Phoenix is the Elemental Master of Fire and a reincarnation of a Chieftess who lived in the village near Wolfgang's home. She can command fire like breathing air and enjoys temperatures that rival the sun itself, hence she has the nickname "Daughter of the Sun" (as Goddess of the Sun was taken by Solara, despite not being related in any way to Phoenix). She is not as strong as Baiyo, her daughter, physically, but when she boasts her strength, you may still see a planet made solar flare reach into the stratosphere from her just spreading her wings. And Baiyo didn't get her wild and aggressive personality from her father (who is extremely docile by comparison).

Enjoy!
I really don't know if I'll do this shading technique too often since it tacks on about an hour, so it depends on the character. Dranans, Amphians, and Talzas, it makes more sense, but the furry Starmaninjians may not use cell shading or if so really subtly. Just depends mostly on what I can pull off.
