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 >>

Now that's a thorough reference! I loved this guy when you first uploaded him and I love him now, such a spectacular design.
I'm digging the triple wing structure, really interesting concept and I'm always up for an iridescent sheen.
Time well spent

I remember seeing something of this character in passing, but upon seeing this ref, before reading the info, I thought he might be some sort of divine figure. I suppose being royal will have to do.
A beautifully designed character, I would have loved to have been in the stream for this. When was that?

Thank you! I'm actually not too sure when I started this. Maybe late June or early July?

Oh yay! I love these guys! 
Oh, by the way, you misspelled Ophiuchus up near the top. I know it's not important and all, but thought you ought to know.

Thank you so much for the compliments! I'm mostly just limiting the reference sheets to my own characters - starting on characters outside of my own headworld before focusing on the ones inside
And thank you for letting me know about the typo! I fixed it n_n
