Some Updated Character References

"It’s Skylette! A giant warrior bird queen, for those who aren’t familiar with her. She’s the same species as Cider: a pennie, from Rett. I thought her bio picture could use a redo, so I made a new one! I’ve got a lot better at drawing muscles since then – not perfect by any means, but better than before."

"From left to right: Terrak, Janus, and Nobles.

I had some time, so I revamped a few character portraits that were either super old or just didn’t look quite right. They all look much better now! More… Them-ish.

(It’s strange to draw Terrak in color, now, after drawing him in black-and-white for so long while working on Things with Wings.)"

Originally two separate posts, but I merged them together! I also made the pictures super small, so just click on 'em if you wanna appreciate their beauty.

"The Cardinal Drammer Rex"

"Skylette, also called the Cardinal Drammer Rex (since she was the first Drammer to rule over Rett), wearing her armor. It's heavily based off of the armor of Roman legionaries, with a bit of my own twist put on it. Since she weighs about a half-ton and most of that is muscle, she has no problem carrying all of that brass. And, for reference, that spear she's holding is 10 feet long.

I had to look up a lot of references to draw that armor, so I got pretty familiar with Roman-era garb for those few days. Funnily enough, a couple days after I had began this drawing we started a mini-project in my World History class where we had to draw a roman gladiator, complete with armor, based on what comes to mind when we think "gladiator" (which is often at least a bit inaccurate). I think I might've had a bit of an unfair advantage for that project.

I love the texture and shading on this one! Metal is hard to draw, but I think I did a good job here. I also like the yellow-blue contrast. And her muscles (which, sadly, the armor covers up a bit)."

Nowadays, she'd be known as Scaelette, rex una Drammarum! Thanks, Latin courses.
