Hello,

Let me present a finished 3D model of Saphira Bjartskular from Inheritance Cycles, based on the new official design of this well-known dragoness! The work on her started in October 2024, it took quite a long time to sculpt her scales, making my PC cry from performance impact. I tried my best to texture her as closely as she's to her new official design and I'm pleased with the result.

Initially, there was supposed to be a forest background in this render but I ran into lighting issues so I figured it's not wise to fall for sunken cost fallacy to present the model. Good ol' sky background did just fine.

Enjoy and have a nice day!
