Uh... Pretty sure that's a phoenix on the veil skin, not a peacock, with the name from the ashes. That's pretty thematic for fire.

But the bull is just an oddly flawed choice.

Yeah its intended to be a phoenix but it executes the theme about as well as "Iron robot bull painted over dragon with flames coming out." The fire themes are loose in both and they both are "Draw over" style accents. There were better, more fire-themed entries IMO

actually it looks like it's drawing from the mythology of the firebird!

I find it so weird they would lump in the phoenix skin when it's not controversial at all, just... hard for them to figure out? Did the patterning after a peacock really throw them off so much that it merits being tossed in with the ancient torture device skin?

lolwut. I never said anything about the controversy IDGAF about that I was just mentioning I didn't like either of them for similar reasons. I didn't struggle to figure it out I just don't think they fit the theme or look good. You can disagree but not sure where this reach came from???

The discussion wasn't really on the controversy though, and I'd prefer to not see that shit storm of bullshit. Just the awful execution of the skin. Preview it on a dragon with a bright eye color.

I don't agree that the phoenix is poorly executed or against theme, but hey, it's opinion.
