Description
DescriptionAnyone who remembers the old reference will understand what an improvement this is! I'm very pleased to say that I only made minor design changes and this reference is primarily a display of my overall development as an artist. It is unfortunate that I could not include his human form; because I wanted to include details about all 3 pairs of wings, I was afraid that also including human information on the ref would make it overly large. I'm considering making a separate human ref.I would love to say more about this, but I am quite tired tonight so the words are not coming to me easily! As always, I recommend that you download it and I hope you enjoy.

who even knows. . . I've received advise on timing things but this one was done over a great period of time. I'll get better, I promise >>

I was explaining to my brother what a reference for a character was and I told him "Shinerai makes the gold standard for references."

Since day one until now, you never fail to impress with your artistry. Full to the brim of inspiration, however, the good kindβwhat is deemed responsible and improves an artist if used correct! Thank you, Shin, you are the best. (Also excellent chara here, it feels I've seen before in time ... ah, that was an unintended pun)

Honestly I'm not sure...long, flowing white hair and robes come to mind. Intricate golden trim, symbol for Time on the back of the robe. Simple and elegant.Β

Interesting! I hope you will like what you see when I'm finished xD I actually didn't think about putting the time symbol on the back but it would actually go pretty well with the rest of his design >> <<

I really wish I could afford to commission you. You do these so beautifully. I am working on a design ref of my own for a dragon character but it would not be nearly as detailed as this. Very simplistic. Extremely so, in fact.
Needless to say, I'm loving this guy more and more. I just love his face and his lithe form. And all that white....! He is just fabulous!
Just don't tell him I said SO.

can someone explain actual size of this dragon
all those ' and " are not quite clear
π: 0 β©: 1
Hi there! Sorry for the confusion - I'm using the imperial system. ' is the shorthand for feet and " for inches. This dragon is about 4.5 meters tall and 11 meters long.

Oh man Shin. Oh man! I love it. It turned out marvelously. I totally love what you did to the wings but I already said that multiple times.
And btw idk if you did it on purpose but there seems to be no link or watermark whatsoever on your ref. Or I might just be blind.

Thank you! I'm so glad you like it!
The watermark is in the top left c:
