Oh. My. God...you guys. I spent 4 days on this, upwards of 16 hours. For a couple reasons, really. One, character design. The pure caribou form is new, and I like how she turned out. The Reindeeragon form mostly stayed the same, but the dragon form, my oldest, went through a lot of changes and got a much needed overhaul. Second, this was done exclusively in Illustrator, no Photoshop or equivalent used. So, everyone, have my new and improved ref sheet! Here's some quick trivia because I don't think anyone would read a giant wall-o-text. So have small bits instead :p
Caribou Form
-Specifically a Peary Caribou (Rangifer tarandus pearyi)
- Very chonk, likes to snack
- Antler shape can always vary but they are CARIBOU antlers. Not white tail. Not elk. Caribou. They begin to grow in mid-summer through the autumn months and are then shed the following spring. This means that Caribou!Elsewhere can be drawn without antlers depending on the situation.
- NO HUMAN BREASTS. She is a deer, and if any mammary glands are ever drawn, they should be one pair of udders on the lower belly.
- Three digits on hands
- Horizontal pupils
- Always unguligrade, never plantigrade.
Reindeeragon Form
- Is an amalgamation of both forms, has features of dragon and caribou.
- Thick body type, but not as much as her caribou counterpart.
- Left antler is always stunted in growth.
- Antlers are shed on the same schedule as stated above, and can vary in shape. But again, the left is always shorter and less developed.
- Reindeeragon!Elsewhere can also be drawn without antlers depending on the season/situation.
- Again, no human-style breasts.
- Four digits on hands.
- Notch in left ear
- Not pictured: Wing amputation scars on back, though they are faded and mostly obscured by her thick fur.
- Hairstyle can vary, but the preferred style is shown.
- Horizontal pupils.
- Can switch between switch between caribou and reindeeragon form fairly easily, though it does require effort.
Dragon Form
- Oldest form of the three
- Form has been locked to Reindeeragon!Elsewhere, and is currently not able to be accessed.
- Sclera is dark gray, pupil is vertical. Eye color carries over into Reindeeragon form, though pupil changes shape and loses the yellow-orange flecks in the iris.
- Has horns, not antlers, meaning they do not shed. Left one is broken.
- Her race is not born in the same manner as mammals (though they do share similar qualities), which means she does not have a belly button.
- Like Reindeeragon!Elsewhere, has wing amputation scars on back, though they are faded, they are much more noticeable in this form due to lack of fur.
- Skin quality is most similar to that of cetaceans.
- Diamond marking on forehead used to change color with her moods, but as she aged the color changes ceased and the color settled into a faded purple. Carries over to reindeeragon form as a dark brown diamond marking on the forehead.
Alright, I'll call that done and dusted. There is a mountain of additional info I could add, but I feel like if anyone's really curious, they can ask c:
I am so pleased with how this came out and it's something I'd been wanting to do for a long time. And bringing back Dragon!Elsewhere is...a good, cathartic thing, I think.
