A Phoenix Chick Cautiously Handling Flames with Oven Mitts

In a humorous twist, a tiny phoenix chick stands with oven mitts on its small talons, trying to hold a ball of fire without getting "burned." Its determined expression and slightly ruffled feathers add to the comedic effect. The mitts, appearing oversized, give a lighthearted touch to the scene. To make this illustration vibrant, use classic phoenix hues of orange and red for the feathers, but experiment with different colors for the mitts, such as bright blue or green, to add contrast. The fireball should have a glowing effect with soft yellow and red gradients. A neutral or smoky background will keep the focus on the chick’s amusing predicament.
