I find that as my art improves some of the older things I use as references both for myself and for my friends could use improvements. My last attempt at an update of my first ref sheet was rather lacking, so this is a more definitive pic that I think works better.
One thing I've always been envious of is the huge and beautiful reference sheets that some folks have. The ones that show not only profile shots, but the top and bottoms of their wings, size in comparison to other common things, etc. Also additional little details like facial expressions and how their emotive features react to them, and other little things like that.
I'm not up to the task of doing the facial expressions and other little details that really bring those kind of sheets to life, but this is my attempt at something similar and I think it came out really well for my level of skill! I wasn't really sure what other statistics were worth adding to it without dipping into kinks, but if I think of any additional good ones I may add to it! Suggestions are of course welcome on that front. :)
A minor note: Torenth's height is listed usually at 33 feet, but that's just an average. When standing very proudly he's a bit over 33 feet, and when walking or otherwise standing about he's a bit under. Flexible necks don't help with concrete height measurements either!

Awwww, thankies. :3
The pose was something I just sort of came up with as a way to show my various details without it being purely in profile. It's a touch on the awkward side perhaps, but it gets the job done. And it does indeed take a lot of food to sustain such a large dragon, but one thing dragons don't lack for is appetite!
