Description

Original Form (N/A) | Human Form (N/A)

Alternate title: F(ing)inally!
5 million saves, 4 million hours and 3 million times going back and forth between art programs later... ITS FINALLY DONE.
JUST LIKE ME.
And yes, I do have two more forms for her to draw. No, they are not going to look like this. xDD


A finally completed and updated version for my pretty girly! There are a few changes to her design but nothing major and a lot of the stuff seen here has been a part of her design for a while, I've just never mentioned/ drawn any of it before. 

Here you get to learn a little bit about her and her history The history here actually ends were her book begins. Those of you who actually read the chapters I'd submitted and remember it, probably noticed! 
Also, you should know, her story is a tragedy, like most of the others I am writing xD, which is why there is somewhat a dark theme here. At least I think there is... 

A few things to note:

A lot of people don't seem to notice there is a bar of green/aqua (If you look up an Aurora you will see the color I am talking about) that fades into the darker blues. She isn't named Aurora for nothing after all!
Her wing structure is based off of an Arctic Tern and like the Tern she has long black tail 'frills'. You can see them more clearly now. Before, they were much more 'string' like.
She does have a long tail... but I went a little overboard here...

If the text is too hard to read on the ref then I will repeat it here:


Full Name: Aurora Zini
Gender: Female
Age: 17 years


Height: 5 1/2 ft. (1.6 m.) Top of head to ground, 11 ft. (3.3 m.)
snout to tip of tail, 14 ft. ( 4.2 m.) wing tip to shoulder.
Weight:  250 lbs.

Likes: Napping in the sun, flying all day, swimming, eating human food, daydreaming, exploring.
Dislikes: Being told what to do, confined or small spaces, darkness/night time, being alone.

Personality: Free and high spirited, Aurora is almost always in a cheerful mood. She tends to act a bit playful, air-headed and dazed but this is merely an appearance. She is capable of thoughts most humans might deem as genius. She is usually calm and quiet when not excited, perfectly happy with napping the day away.
Although she is good willed and always means well, she is also extremely naive and often chooses ignorance rather then accepting things as they truly are. She also lacks a sense of responsibility.


History: Born in her native Wind Clan territory of Tahao, Aurora remembers little of the place or the time spent there. She fled Tahao, across the ocean, when her mother was killed by Draconain Hunters.  
Taken in by the wizard Sumar, her Master, Aurora lived a peaceful life among the high Azureal mountains; hidden completely from the rest of the world and sheltered from everything and everyone.

One day her Master is taken away by order of the king and Aurora decides it is her duty to get him back. What she doesn't realize is that the fantasy she believed the world to be, the one she'd read about in her books, was nothing but a beautiful lie.  


Her Necklace: Weaved like golden ivy, the necklace serves as a lock, connecting the Im crystal it holds, to Aurora. Although the necklace itself was crafted by Sumar, the Im crystal was given to Aurora by her mother, who was its previous guardian.
Aurora was born only half wind clan. She was weak, sickly and dying. Unable to survive on her own Aurora's mother gave her the stone which then supported her life.
She is unable to remove the necklace and if removed forcefully, her form would slowly revert to its original, without the support of wind magic, and she would die. Her mind would also change, returning to a more feral state, driven by instincts and only able to understand the simplest of things.




Eyes:  Able to see creatures from several miles away,  her eyes are the best of any dragon species on Eloi. At night however, she is almost completely blind, even with the light of the four full moons.

Fire: Her fire is blue in color ranging from icy/white blue (hot) to deep navy ( cold).
Normally light and free flowing, if refined to a stream her fire is able to slice through almost anything. She is only able to hold the stream for a few seconds at a time though and it drains her energy faster then her normal fire.

Mouth: Teeth are made for ripping and tearing and she often swallows her food whole very quickly. Her diet consist solely of meat.

Limbs: Four fingers and one opposable thumb. Hind feet have four toes.

I forgot to add these to the ref I'm not fixing it. :'D 

Skin: Instead of scales she has soft but thick skin covering her body.  She is able to withstand very low temperatures but does not do well in the heat.

Senses: Hearing is very poor due to her horns which cover her ears and block out most sounds. Sense of smell is very good and she is able to detect the fainted scents from miles away.


Also, I have found this song very suiting to her: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CmcnW…
The artists pseudonym is even 'Aurora'  



Most parts were made traditionally, others were colored digitally. 
Well I guess that's everything. Until I think of something more.
Enjoy!

It didn't took too long so it was okay But there were some bigger changes, just like the hind "wings" (I know they aren't wings at all but I can't find a better word/description) cause on the old ref there were three parts and on the new one four.
A side view of the necklace would have been nice but I tried to figure it out looking at pictures others have drawn for you.

All in all, as I wrote in the last PN, the sketch is finished Please answer the question I asked within the next days

Yes the hind wings (Or frills, as I usually call them) were the only major changes. As for the necklace, if you need a description for the necklace I could give you one? Or perhaps draw it out quickly in a side view?

No, it's okay, since you don't see much on my picture I could figure out what I needed I took this one for reference
roraima99.deviantart.com/art/A…
to understand the ref you've drawn on the new sheet.

Frills, okay... I'll keep it in mind
