oop look at this other commission I got

½ roast my dergens Sorry if I’m spamming by the way! It’s the person who asked the helmet question XD

The rest of the images are broken so I can only comment on the first one sorry! Feel free to resubmit the broken ones as separate submissions though.

Honestly this is really good overall. There’s not a whole lot that needs to be said, except for these little nags:

-the misplaced spike on the wing arm right by the wrist doesn’t make anatomical sense. a bone spur should not be emerging right there since it would have to attach to the arm bone and it would interfere with muscle/tendon connections. I would recommend just a thumb claw instead, and

-the wing palm looks stiff. bat wing palms have the finger bones emerging from the palm in a radial, somewhat overlapping pattern:

this was the biggest issue that killed me while I was trying to learn how to draw bat wings and learning this revolutionized how I draw bat like wings. the palms are not structured like human palms which would be bad for a limb designed for flight.

additionally, the pointer finger should not be the longest. bat wings have a short pointer finger, the middle finger the longest, then the ring and pinky fingers are shorter, similar to human hands, except the lengths of bat wing fingers are selected for to create a certain streamlined shape. having the pointer finger as the longest one would make a more awkward wing shape.

I can’t think of too much else to say, aside from the wing issues the anatomy looks quite good and the style works very well. You have a nice color scheme and a very unique dragon design!

So I attempted to redo her old ref from 2014. And I tried as much as I could to keep the intended colors she was given and not look too much like Spyro because I’ve been dealing with this issue for 2/3 years and I think it’s enough. Care to share your thoughts on my persona and what I could possibly improve on next time? I think I made a few errors.

I think you’ve done well enough to differentiate her enough from Spyro that she stands as her own design/character. I think the color scheme works very well and she has a nice mix of the classic Spyro style and your own original touch!

Here’s some fairly minor errors I see that could be improved upon:

-The neck looks a bit thin where it connects to the back of her skull

-There’s an implied elbow finger on the wing (otherwise the wing structure looks good, and the stylization looks nice too!)

-the wing appears to lack a chest muscle connection, like it just leads into the abdomen

-the pubic bone looks to be placed too far forward, it shouldn’t be visible from this angle

Those are the errors that I spotted. Perhaps the other mods can weigh in, and possibly add red lines? I promised to stay out of redlining for now since I’m not confident enough with my art skills to do so.
