Description
Ok, this took me 8 million years to finish, but I actually did it! I never really liked doing reference sheets, although the idea itself is pretty neat, but all the hard work killed me every time. Lineart is especially tidious. So I decided, hey, why bother with lineart? I like painting, why don't I just paint everything like it's a big illustration? So I did. It was fun. And exausting. And I want to make another one.This sheet started as a sketch, because I needed a character's concept for a personal work, and slowly grew into this monstrosity. I had this girl for more than 10 years now and she is finally taking shape! I hope she won't chage it too soon, I'm not ready for another one of those projects right now.
Special thanks to Shinerai for inspiration and permission to use her idea for layout. She never stops to amaze and encourage me to do something special.

Yeah, it took quite a while ) The initial sketch was collecting dust in my psd folder for several months, before I collected courage to do something with it. Thank you for the comment!

This reference sheet is amazing! I absolutely am in awe of all the details, like the full body running comparison of her two forms. Honestly like, holy shit this is cool. I'm super excited to see another one of these if/when you decide to do it. Great job!

Thank you! She turned out to be a little bit of a magpie because of her feathers, I didn't want that at the start. But I think this version looks good too )
