Description
I made this because it seems not everyone understands that Meerin is both quadrapedal and Bipedal. She can walk around on either but stands like this to run around. Also changed her face and colors a bit, just trying to add more flare to her.Related content

Meerin is a beautiful character and I adore her tail rudder/weapon/decoration <: 3 She has a lovely 'mean' look about her that you dont see very often in dragons x3
Also, I've noticed a couple of oddities on this reference image and I'm not sure if they were intentional <: D
The height comparison chart doesnt actually fall in line with her. It usually helps people vision the size of the character when the character stands on the same line as the human counterpart instead of floating slightly above <: 3
Also, I can see a line you've drawn indicating the wing attachment along the body line, but it doesnt actually match the far wing <: 3 Does the membrane taper off following the arch of the wing and continue along the line you've drawn? :3

aw thank you! that means a lot!
yeah there is some odd things about this reference. I got a little impatient 
Yeah the height reference line is a little messy, it is a bit easier to see in her more detailed but slightly older reference however it doesnt have her height while she is standing on her hind legs. But it does have a silhouette of her human form to help give visual height reference.
And the wing attachment line DX yeah I noticed that after I had finished. It does taper but not as much as it shows.
I should probably come back to this picture and fix it when I get some time

Nice new ref, i guess you will laugh now, but i think Meerin would wonderful fit into a videogame, because of her design

:3 as her original ref said its a dinosaur like body. She is really inspired though from the dragons in the PS3 game Lair.

Very nice, looks pretty neat with the little changes like the tail tip being changed a bit; I think it looks quite cool like that.

Her neck looks squished but that's a believable position for walking that way. I guessed she could walk on two feet but I never really thought about it. I like her wing shape, by the way, though having the long point at the elbow like that without any bone or support might be a bit awkward.

haha that long part is just for show

bah shes not that big XD, only when shes standing up like that.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, cause 20 feet is so tiny. xD
π: 0 β©: 1
XD I know! 20 feet standing, 14 on all fours and 5 and an itty bit as a human. Shes as tall as me then becomes tall just like that
π: 0 β©: 1
xD I thought she was about 10 feet, standing... lol.
π: 0 β©: 1
hehe that would be a different character of mine. Shes tiny for a dragon so yeah, at most 10 feet tall standing.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah, well, my drag char is about 8 feet tall at full height. I guess not everyone is like him. lol

I dont like dragons much bigger than I have made Meerin.. dragons the size of mountains or big enough to bathe in a lake and make it look like a tub bother me.
π: 0 β©: 1
LOL Same here. Plus it's hard to make them connect with human sized characters.
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah without connecting them into the ground as a pancake

Did Meerin get more bulky or has she just matured?
π: 0 β©: 1
well from her first reference she was really wierd looking.. just my skill back then haha, shes the same as the last ref just colors are different and shes standing up so some parts squished in.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah ok then XD She looks like a tough girl.

π: 0 β©: 1
