Here's the 2020 reference sheet for my main girl!

I'm real proud with how this came out, especially with how I managed to work out the color scheme and not let it get cluttered with paragraphs. That's a problem I see often with character refs: too much telling and not enough showing. Hopefully this reference is easy to read, though next time I might go for a horizontal layout.

One thing wrong with it is I have since changed the Bearded Vulture in Gwen's DNA makeup to the American Bald Eagle (to reflect my love for my country).

The other thing I have since changed is Gwen's color scheme, which was always a bit too dark with the browns being too close in value and blending in to one another when I shade and render. So like everyone else's main OCs, mine will be getting a new one eventually, though I suspect I will be keeping this overall style. ;)
