A little volunteer work I'm doing for the new school one of my kids is starting at this year. The mascot is a phoenix that teaches kids how to play with fire safely (parents, I'm joking!). Although I can't help but wonder how long it's going to be before they ask me to replace the fire with bubbles or draw him in an anti-smoking ad.
I'm open to suggestions, including any ideas you might have for his name. My wife laughed when I called him Lighty. She said his name should be something way more dignified, like Flamey. As you can see, I desperately need your suggestions.
Gorgeous image, as always. Painter?
ReplyDeleteAs for a name, there's obvious ones...Sparky, Ember, Roasty etc.
Maybe Habanero?
DUDE! THIS IS OUT-FUCKING-STANDING! I LOVE THE COLORS AND THE SHAPES YOU USED!
ReplyDeleteSpectacular! Did you purposely hide the pen-nib deign in the tail?
ReplyDeleteHowzabout "Ash" for a name?
I vote "Ted".
ReplyDeleteman what a lucky child, this kid of yours, hehehe.. :)
ReplyDeletethis is superb, Samwise.
really love the lighting and colors. so vibrant and live.
and he looks like a 'Julian" to me.
:)

P.
1) Embers
ReplyDelete2) Smouldar

Keith...
How 'bout Blaise, like Blaise Pascal. It sounds like a "fire word", but with more meaning.
ReplyDeleteYou need to make use of Cougar since Daisy's a girl.
ReplyDeleteCougar Phoenix sounds just right.
For some reason, Aladdin hit me right away. Ember?
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful work, naturally.
LOL! Love the image! How about, Ignatius? ;) And by the way..Flamey!!??? LOL! Your wife has a good sense of humor!
ReplyDeleteI'd suggest a weird name, "Fireiceous". You can play with the end to make it more interesting, something like "Fireizeus"... I don't know.
ReplyDeleteI think Kwan's got a winner...Ignatius! Love it. I second that one lol.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the ideas!
ReplyDeleteMy favorites so far:
Ash
Ember
Sparks
And, of course, Ted
I also like Ignatius, but is there a shorter version? Seems like a mouthful.
Zim: I'd suggest Fireiceodius, or, Fireanous.
Beth: Yes! The Ute fans would be furious.
Short version for Ignatius would be Iggy, but you kinda lose the whole 'Ignite' thing behind it.
ReplyDeleteCourse you could always go with Ignitey...but I dunno.
'Ash' also gets my vote.
Another Ted's fan over here.
ReplyDeleteLMAO... no idea for a name - probably because I'm still laughing over the playing with fire SAFELY comment...
ReplyDeleteGorgeous work, though. The colors and brush strokes are lovely.
Love what you do and how you do it Sam
ReplyDeleteone of these days I need to come get some learnin from you with your light and color magic. ( Im afraid of the paint stuffs..)

If you joined Deviantart,you'd be a god in a week! X3
How about Quetzalcoatl? Or you can always call it the indoctrinator.
ReplyDeleteIgnis means fire in Latin and to mean sounds like a good name.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna have to go with "Felix". I love your color decisions. Soft and powerful.
ReplyDeleteThis is stuffy, I know but how bout: "Prometheus"
ReplyDeleteYour work/style is lovely! Looking forward to seeing more.
Is it bad that the first name to pop in my head was "Mr. Phoeny"? And to think I haven't seen Boy Meets World in years... :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. Great blog/art! I stumbled across it via Abduzeedo.
