Description
New Wings of Fire OC, if you haven't already guessed. This time I've asked for permission to do an OC from Luster/Luere's steampunk universe, and she said yes! So I give you... Scarlett A. Holmes! Based on - who else - the great Sherlock himself. Genderbent, and dragonized. Ain't that a kick in the head?Watson and Moriarty upcoming.
This actually took me FOREVER, and I think has been the single most complicated digital thing I've done so far. It started out as a doodle on my chemistry homework, turned into lineart on my iPad, and finally became this over a course of three days. Unfortunately I'm not so happy with the airbrushing job here... I was in a bit of a hurry so it was seriously rushed. I don't usually make it quite so dark, but I was going for a dramatic look this time. Maybe if I get a moment, I'll do it again and make it better.
But otherwise, I'm quite happy with how she turned out! Expect the OC out soon on the wiki!
(Scarlet A? Does anyone get my reference? I will so happy if you do.)

Dangit Kitty you left me speechless with your art again! XD
Scarlett A is a reference to A Study in Scarlet right? Or something in it (idkihaven'treaditdon'thurtme)?

Awww thanks Zodi! Nope - although her name was based off of a Study in Scarlet, I'll give you credit for that. Except that's not the entire story behind the Scarlet A. XD

Oh no no no, I'm flattered that you think I made it, but truth is that's actually some stock art XD. Glad you like how it looks though!

One question: What species is she? My first guess would be SkyWing...
Amazing steampunk-ish character!

Nope, she's a NightWing - I tried to make that clear through the dark colors and the spikes along her spine. I think I know where you're coming from though - her name could be mistaken for a SkyWing's. But otherwise, thanks!

You're welcome! When I try to discern species, I try to look at specific scale patterns, the shapes of their horns, and distinct features like gills/frills. c:
