Description
Long ref sheet is LONG. Hit "DOWNLOAD IMAGE" for full size.===
Because I was the only kid on the block without a reference sheet |D
This image is at 60% of the working size. I started it on January 3rd and was all, "Oh, I'll finish this in no time!" It took me a WEEK. Can you believe it?
Wing's got a pretty serious story, so I tried to balance it out with some humor tossed into her info. Did I mention that she has a sweet tooth? Let me know if you have questions or caught anything else interesting in here too--It was a bit of work condensing her backstory into a couple paragraphs without losing the feel I wanted for it.
For those who would like to learn more, here's Wing's backstory: lyritwolf.deviantart.com/art/Wā¦

What time is this set in, because it's hard to ascertain.

It's in a different world, but the best way to describe the time era is medieval steampunk.

Why does she have only one wing? Was the other one lost in a fight?

Hey!
Wing's backstory summary here doesn't include the explanation for the wing because it would be way too long to include on a ref sheet mainly for artists.
Her short story on my website explains it all if you're interested:

This is gonna sound kinda technical, but what style is Wing's blade in? It's European looking but my insatiable curiosity needs a little bit more....pwease? (O).(O)

Hey!
It indeed is a European (two-handed, double-edged) broadsword, the kind you'd see a medieval knight with. It's just decorated with gems because I think they're pretty, and with all the fancy stuff my style tosses in I realize the European style's probably ambiguous by now. XD
I wrote a page on the crystal blade material when I was in high school as well:

Let me know if I answered your question!

Yep pretty much. I am wondering if it has a broad taper (soft metal to prevent bending damage) Leave shapped (kinda like 2 oblong shapes, best for slashing because the sharpness holds) Ridged (Painful) Concave (blood channel or grooved) or if it's just parralel made (Easiest to make).......
Sidenote, I took a few blacksmithing classes

Now you'd probably be able to answer that question better than me, because my knowledge doesn't go that far!

Well it looks like it's parallel, but looking at it flat drawn it's down the same way as grooved. Anywho it's still epic

Wing is a very unique character! I like how you added the storybook aspect to her reference. It's a neat means of telling her backstory. Nice work on this piece and awesome anatomy regarding wing.

Beautiful reference sheet I love that you included details on her past/history as well as the little details of her weapon/moon crests etc. The pose with the wing showing is my favourite
Plus - timing couldnt be better! This is a big help to me now that I am in the sketching stage of your last image
