Hi, everyone! If you want to support me, see exclusive content, get early access to my work, and vote in the fan art contest, then click here: ⬇️

Personally, I think I would divide character references into two types: one for practical use, and the other as a concept? The first is for reference, proportions, and details. The second is for showing the design in action within its environment…

I guess this would be more suitable for a specific industry. I've never worked in a studio, but in my mind, it probably looks something like this lol. Although I think, for personal use, you could combine all of this on a single canvas. Give me an art book 💦

By the way, I was wondering about character reference sheets: Is it important to you that the reference sheet looks nice, or do you prioritize practicality and avoid unnecessary details? I actually really enjoy creating renders while working on a reference sheet. ⬇️

But I can see why that might be unnecessary, or even get in the way of the reference sheet. Although you can make a character look great even without renders… but I just don’t know how to do that, haha

You might be interested - but my twisted mind also came up with the idea of making another version with a short-stacked dragon for her. Why am I doing all this? Because I'm a slacker ;w;

I'll definitely need some advice - or maybe even an overpainting - on how to draw a pussy and a penis with this type of lower body... I start to get a headache when I try to picture this in my mind 😩 (And yes, there will be a futa version of the dragon!)

Dragons usually don't have boobs… but she has several of them! I got curious about what that would look like, so I did a quick sketch haha

Oh yeah… I really want to finish designing this dragon! While I was in bed with a high fever, I came up with so many naughty things to do with her! I like that I made her mouth longer… because she’ll be able to take in some pretty big things, if you know what I mean 💦

This week is shaping up to be my “death march”—trying to find time to draw comms and spend time with my family. I'm pretty lazy and my energy reserves are VERY limited, so this is going to be tough lol

Damn, I haven't been this sick in a long time. These past two days have been a total nightmare. I thought I was just melting like chocolate, and my head was about to explode from the pain 💦

Sometimes the dragon is blue, sometimes purple. Just like a chameleon. Apparently, the color of the baby dragon will depend on the color of the one who impregnates her... 💦

I've come up with another idea for a dragon hairstyle. It's worth a try! Although I'm perfectly happy with her current hairstyle, but… maybe I'll change my mind if the new one looks better.

I checked Vgen: turns out so many people have pinged the render art—they definitely want render art. I guess my sketch style isn’t that appealing… I need to figure something out. Or maybe everyone just likes my renders… but nooo!

Damn, I'm listening to some song with the lyrics “I wanna ride” Now I've got this wild urge in my head to draw a fat lady in a cool car, omg 💦💦💦💦😩😤

Okay, I'm putting the design work on hold. IT'S TIME TO FINISH UP THE COMMS AND OTHER THINGS! Cheer up, Ruby - it's time to get down to business! 😤😤

Although I jumped to conclusions. Maybe I'll make a comic featuring a new female dragon. The relationship between the great dragon and her followers hasn't been revealed yet!

I'm just wondering now why I even decided to create a reference sheet from three angles, especially with shading and all that. It's not like I'm going to be doing 3D or animation… I guess it's better to just turn off my brain and let my autism take over 💦

All sorts of AI news are starting to hit my feed again. I'm still waiting for AI to appear that will do my work and stuff my belly with delicious food until I become a meatball. But instead, I'm getting the 500th chatbot about neurobrain labotomy😩

I didn't expect to be locked out of my computer for an entire hour because I forgot the password I use every day. Guess I’m taking a break today 💦

I hate the part of creating a reference sheet where you have to align the positions of the ears, eyes, horns, and so on in three directions (like front view, side view, and so on)… I’m totally hopeless at this because I’m not very good at drawing the same face consistently 😩

This is probably going to be the most painstaking design project I've ever worked on. After all, I'm not completely satisfied with it yet. I need to draw the wings and tail separately… maybe work on the face and hairstyle… and the hardest part—refining the design of her dragon form. OMG, help! 💦💦💦

I decided to make the lower half look more dragon-like by spreading her legs apart and adding a tail. It's quite a challenging project… Dragons are complicated 😩

I've taken your comments about the tail and other things into account, and now I'm going to tweak the character's physique a bit and experiment with it a little!

I just had an idea for her tail… Maybe I should make two versions of her tail: one natural, and the other magical? Like a watery, transparent tail. I think it would look pretty cool, lol. She’ll be able to choose which tail she wants to wear (the power of magic!) 💦
