T_T I'm finally done, sheesh. This ref took WAY too long, but I'm glad its all pretty and stuff. Even learned a new way to shade!
well, it's really *Redbuzzardd 's shading tutorial that I changed a bit. At least I know what Eukona looks like! 
Now I just have to make one fore Lamari and Somaar DxTexture: [link]

I love the way the beak fits into the face, and wonderful eye close up. I also like the small stature of this. (and I want to see a skeleton, too, now xD)

Beautiful reference, very striking and aesthetically pleasing character! I am in love how you portray the iridescence of the black/dark feathers, most people neglect to do that on refs so major kudos on you. C:

Wow, that's cool! It's really... detailed. O:
Though, I love it!
She's really cute!
(Didn't expect her to be that short.

So detailed. o__o
I always thought that Eukona would be taller than a regular human.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
xD nah, i figured she was from two small animals, so I couldnt make her that large. And I didn't want to make it so that whenever I did any group pictures she'd be popping out of the page. oh wait, i have a dragon character thats like 10 feet tall o.o
i spent too much time on it, 5 days is enough to kill someone, but luckily i had the weekend in between

That makes sense now.
Hooray for weekends!
