Creatures - Fawkes The Phoenix

"Fawkes was a highly intelligent phoenix and Albus Dumbledore's animal companion and defender. It is unknown how long Fawkes has been in Dumbledore's service. He has been Dumbledore's loyal champion for many years prior to the Headmaster's death.

Fawkes was instrumental in helping Harry Potter defeat Salazar Slytherin's basilisk in 1993. His tears (which possessed healing properties) saved Harry's life after his arm was punctured by the basilisk's fang. In 1996 Fawkes came to Dumbledore's aid in fighting Lord Voldemort during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries." -Fandom, Harry Potter Wiki

Fawkes is an essential creature in the Harry Potter universe, from the second book/film up until Dumbledore's death, and therefore he was an obvious choice for this contest.

This model took a few weeks to build and was also a lot of fun to build! This particular was based off the film rendition of Fawkes and is slightly smaller than life size.
