FINALLY!!! I completed the reference sheet of my boy, Kyro Lumbre. This redesign of Kyro and his mate Aurora has taken me over a year since I started making their line drawings in August 2021. The countless hours drawing them and going back and forth with various iterations and then working on rendering each individual shot by adding textures, shadows, highlights, and undertones. I created Kyro around the same time as Aurora in February 2013. 10 years ago! Can’t believe it’s been a decade since then and how far they have come. They started out as feral, quadruped dragons at first, but then I changed them to an anthropomorphic dragon. Kyro initially had yellow glow marks on him before I removed them. This was the most significant redesign of my OCs that I made. I had wanted to complete both ref sheets at the same time; however, I was really busy working on Aurora and finishing her for her 10-year mark in February 2023. Afterward, I started right away on Kyro and rendering his shots, but something major happened that had to take priority. My family was in a car accident in mid-March on their way back on the highway at night. The car was totaled and my mom had a fractured wrist, but thankfully they made it home alive and I did everything I could to help her around the house and to cover her at work. She’s doing better today and can move her wrist a little, but there’s still more for her recovery. All this time, the only way I could relieve the stress that I felt in the past 4 months was to draw. Now that I finished with Kyro and Aurora, I can take a rest for now before moving on to making art of them together. Thank you to everyone who watches here! I really appreciate that you like my art. It really means the world to me as I try to get back into drawing and posting and expanding on other platforms. Let me know what you think about this piece, I’d really appreciate the feedback. --Aurora Alpha Dragon-- Twitter https://twitter.com/AuroraAlphaDerg FurAffinity https://www.furaffinity.net/user/aurora-alpha-dragon/ DeviantArt https://www.deviantart.com/aurora-alpha-dragon
