Once around Yggdrasil

HOLEE CRAP this took ages to do....!! X__X But HOLEE CRAP it was damn FUN! :D Okay well, for starters this is a piece of gift art for Felabba, who is absolutely amazing for she took the time to comment constructively on every single deviation in my DeviantArt archive...! O__O;; Thus as a gift, I got her to request a pic - a golden haired kid riding a flying creature. Well you all know me, of course I picked a Phoenix. ;) Well, just based on a bit of what I do know, Yggdrasil is the World-Tree which spreads its branches across the universe. I figured that the sun would be at the centre of the tree, and I decided to throw in some planets while I was it, just hanging off the branches as... well, I dunno, fruit? @___o;; *Munches on Venus* XD Well, at the top of the tree sits an Eagle apparently, but HECK I wanted a Phoenix instead, so I sacked the Eagle from its job. :D I gave the newly recruited Phoenix rainbow plumage to fit in with Norse myth, in which a rainbow bridge leads the way into Asgard, or the home of the Gods.... *did I get that right?* @__o And on that note, the next time I decide to draw a rainbow by mouse and tablet, kick me REALLY hard. O___- That was pretty stressful, as you can see... the phoenix, boy, and tree were coloured with pencils yesterday, and today I coloured in everything else via computer. I was going crazy with all the clouds and lights and things, that was the really fun part. XD And yes, I'm aware that if the sun is that close and that big, the kid must be ENORMOUS, but this is supposed to be a dream, so anything goes! =P
