Ren

Finally finished ref sheet!
50% of full size here, due to upload limits.

This one is made to be printed at poster size (20 x 30 inches) at 300dpi with a quarter inch bleed on each side. So it's big.

Anyway, a lot of love went into her.

Best viewed in a new tab, I think.

Anyway, it's 6150 by 9150 pixels. At the end, it took up 2.8 gigabytes of RAM to be open in Krita.

I tried to keep the layers fairly condensed. There are two layers of background, four of dragon, one for the feather detail shots, one for fine detail work on top of all of those, and then one for the frame. Plus some hidden layers for the initial sketch and the color palette.

@ziphi Gorgeous! The individual feather examples are such a great detail to add. And I always love a dragon with antlers and whiskers.

@ziphi so lovely, and very technically impressive too  
plus the amount of thought and detail that's gone into it is quite remarkable.

@Leviamicky Thanks! It took a long time, and I'm glad to be able to move on to other stuff now, but I'm also quite happy with how it turned out.

It was a massive project, and I think it ended up working very well. This is probably the best I've drawn antlers too.

@ziphi Exceptionally pretty as usual! 💚

@Hearth I will take that compliment for sure! (Also I'm going to assume you're talking about me as well as the art)

@ziphi I am talking about both you and the art!

@ziphi a banger (as always!). Well worth the wait!

@emilvolk What a hecking long wait though! I thought I’d be another million years old before this was finished.

But that’s the price of taking on such a big project.

I’m not ready to start something else just yet, so I think I’ll just enjoy having this one done.

@ziphi you definitely earned the break!

This looks lovely! So much attention to detail…

@digitalfox She took a while to finish, but it was worth it, I think.

@faoluin Thank you! I’m hoping that if I draw her enough and realistically enough, she will become real. It hasn’t shown any sogns of working yet, but I’m gonna keep trying!

@ziphi Pretty dragon!

There is so much detail everywhere, you really put your heart into this. The long hairs on the eyebrows, whiskers, and the detail of the eyes!

@Ravtrag She took a lot of work, but I had to capture how pretty she is.

Plus I wanted to make her as real as possible so it would be easier for a mad scientist to create her in a lab and implant my brain in her body. That part is important.

@ziphi Very pretty and petable dragon!

You did an excellent job in the details in her feathers, eyes, claws, and antlers!
