THIS IS NOT MY CHARACTER. THIS IS A COMMISSION.

Commission for Gaiusthedragon on DA. They were absolutely superb with feedback with this thing since I have never done a reference sheet before. No, seriously. You were absolutely fantastic, you took my constant stream of notes with stride, and it was a load of fun working with this character and coming up with all his different facial expressions and poses. This was challenging (as evidenced by the fact that not even my own characters have reference sheets) but it was a fun challenge.

I think the hardest part was purposely dialing back my shading. I really don't do flats in my artwork in fear that it makes the picture look...flat.

I sure am glad that I bought a new computer before I took this on, because I'm pretty sure this commission would've short-circuited my old set-up. This computer was a champ and only really slowed down once while working on this, and it was probably more to do with the fact that I was dumb and running multiple programs on top of a 10k width picture with 50 layers.

Hello! Sorry for disappearing for three weeks but things got really hectic in my life. But now I seem to have things sorted out in the art department so now things can progress normally!

Note: Like I said, this is the first time I've done a reference sheet, so if you have any feedback about what to do on these things, let me know.
