After literally working and tweaking Dove's new ref for MANY MANY MONTHS, it's finally finished I think! I'm so happy with it , and im glad I was able to complete it before my birthday on the 28th🎂 I think this showcases her vibe much better, the slightly rainy background to show my love of the rain, the items all being things I love, her outfits, her feral form, and the detail shots to showcase important details like her hoof tips being painted or her deer nose and snoot markings that are easily missed. Even my favorite trees on the sides! Hopefully I can be happy with this for a few years before I want to update it 🥲 I love ref sheets but boy are they a labour of love, Dove might be the most spoiled oc ive ever had lol.🦌🎀✨️

I thiiink the only issue with it now is the text is slightly hard to read, but i wasnt sure how to get it to pop in a way that didnt make it look very cluttered ( trust me i tried many options 😭) so my apologies for that. There's also a shaded version simply for fun, dont worry I will never give someone a shaded ref when commissioning others, I just thought it looked nice :p

One day I'd also like to make dove an outfit ref because i have several fun outfits i like to draw her in, but, thats a project for another time 🥰
