Description
PRESS DOWNLOAD FOR FULL SIZE AND READABLE TEXTAfter almost two years, I've finally completed a new reference sheet for Orion C:
It took nearly 9 months from the first sketches to the final product and during that time nearly everything has been changed *phew*
I decided to include most of his backstory in the ref, so the text it pretty minimal if you want to read it without pressing 'Download'.
I've made some major changes to his backstory as well. I wanted him to be someone who is easier to identify with than what the previous backstory made him seem like. The character itself has always been the most important to me, since I created him to cope with my grandfather's death.
I never knew him as close as I would've wanted to , and it always seemed to me like he had so much greatness hidden inside him. When he died, the story of a whole life was lost and no-one could ever know all what he had been through and felt. Then I decided to create a character who could do all that for me, someone who would have understood him and who would always remember.
many thanks to for helping me so much with his anatomy! ;3; <3 If it wasn't for you, he would still have had a very skinny chest, and faily wings and whatnot c:
C: Also thanks to my friend~Majk123 for being the reference mannequin next to Orion, and I'll also give credit to since I referenced pectoral scales from her!

Whoa.

Awesome.
Your painterly way of coloring is so beautiful. The line art and attention to detail is incredible down to ever scales and the cracks in them. His story is epic. Iβve always loved Greek Mythology. :βD All the time you put into this was worth it. β₯
