The Firebird

I've been wanting to do a piece which uses Filipino Alibata like magical runes.

The alibata letters are supposed to say "Ibong Apoy" basically firebird.

The main character was rendered in Shade. I used painter and Photoshop to add the bg and magical effects. I pretty much killed Shade with the original render. Hence why the character is cropped.

The raw render can be found in my scraps
