Bam-bam.

Finished Flat-Coloured Ultimate Reference Sheet of my Kestrel Angel Dragon, Sniper!

Also, way overdue!  I got Sniper's fullsuit back in February, and have been fighting for a free moment to work on this since.  Between training was tough, and after I finished my summer commission queue, I spearheaded this asap.

Wicked happy with how this turned out. *makes it rain*  I loved designing his feral form - he's so sleek and pretty, and translating the markings between anthro and feral was easier than I had anticipated.  I matched him with the general build and anatomy of Spirit, since they're the same species, after all.  If anyone is wondering, Sniper is a Dutch Angel Dragon, though along with the equine and dragon anatomy, he is more raptor-like with his kestrel aspects.  The differences, physiologically, between anthro and feral are pretty extreme, as you can see.  All information on here is complete, but do let me know if you've any questions.

And I had TOO much fun working on his info, haha!  I just went wild on that top bar and ended up filling all of it, and, like all my other characters, connecting him to Muzafr's backstory.  Is it too obvious how my flight missions have been lately?  Haha.  I vaguely based him off of some specific Naval aircraft/mission types...

If you're wondering, YES, you MAY draw Sniper!  You don't have to ask my permission, but it CANNOT be above a PG rating, and please do show me, as I'd love to favourite it and check it out! 

Happy Birthday to me~ <3  Couple days early - it's actually on the 31st.  Posted Muzafr's ref a couple days after my birthday last year, so it's only appropriate that I post Sniper's here, a couple days early to balance it out.

Put 'rifle' in your comment if you read all this.

You have some amazing art Twilight! Your dragons are always really cool and I'm surprised to see you've never received a single DD! I see you do a lot of reference sheets and I wanted to know what keeps you interested while working on them? I've tried doing them in the past and always found them very tedious.

They are quite tedious, not gonna lie! There's just a ton of detail to work on for them. But I do love working on 'em and seeing the finished result. What helps me is that I keep the end result in mind, knowing it'll be cool, and I geek out along the way, doing research to make the character as believable and 'scientific' as possible, which is a lot of fun to me.

Thank you, thank you!

I chock it up to jealousy and laziness. People see art/a character they want but can't have, so instead of putting in the work and time to make their own, they decide to steal it.

SpiritDragonTano In reply to TwilightSaint [2015-09-02 15:00:54 +0000 UTC]

You're very welcome

Yeah,that's mostly why. They're either too jealous, or too lazy
to actually get their ass up and start working on getting good at art.
I'm inspired by your artwork, and a little jealous. But that inspires me
to work harder on my own art. Not steal. Once you become an  artist, you
realize how much work they put into it. 

You're an amazing artist <3

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

TwilightSaint In reply to SpiritDragonTano [2015-09-04 13:40:51 +0000 UTC]

Right. Art should inspire folks to work harder, not steal someone's hard work.

I think the problem is too that people too often think that artists are simply 'naturally gifted,' and thus disregarding all of the hard work, practice, and time that we really put into it. People literally just think art is just a 'hobby' and that artists can just pop out amazing works on a whim in their 'spare time,' (whatever the hell that is.) Yeah, raw talent is a part of it, but folks who make the audition but don't constantly train don't go on to win American Idol, for a different talent analogy.

But anyway, I'll get down off my soapbox. I've been dealing with some bad character theft lately, so this is fresh on my mind.

Thank you very much~ <3

SpiritDragonTano In reply to TwilightSaint [2015-09-05 15:59:34 +0000 UTC]

I understand where you're coming from ,and I really couldn't agree anymore with it.
I don't know why people just think it's a hobby,and we just pop out amazing works in no time.
I'd just hand them a piece of paper, and say draw something as good as this and tell me if art
doesn't require hard work my friend.


I understand, so it's kinda fresh on the mind because of that.


You're very welcome <3

You inspire me to work hard after all <3

Happy birthday! and rifle lol

That is a lot of information. The feral form looks pretty amazing, I love Sniper's design. I dont know why I cant take the idea out of my head that the yellow part of his muzzle looks like a bit like beak.

Out of curiosity, how high can he flight without any assistance and would he be able to break the speed of sound? Also who would win in a race, Muzafr or Sniper?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

TwilightSaint In reply to twistedndistorted [2015-09-02 17:40:05 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!

And yeah, the facial makings especially are reminiscent of a kestrel.

Max alt would be 40,000 ft for short periods of time, due to his fur not being a primary use of warmth. His heart rate and metabolism would increase exponentially as he'd climb, thus keeping him just warm enough and getting oxygen. The only purpose he'd climb so high would be for a sensitive recon mission to evade enemy detection. Due to his composition, he'd show up as a minor RADAR smear as opposed to a huge one from an airliner, for example.

He may near the speed of sound if he'd attempt a skydive from that altitude, but at normal operations level, (10,000-30,000,) he typically hovers around 400 knots.

He'd most likely beat Muzafr in a race simply because he's much lighter and doesn't have a ton of scales, spikes, and a tail flail. He also has his base feathers and feather fan, making him more aerodynamic. Muzafr would win hands down in a fight, however.

twistedndistorted In reply to TwilightSaint [2015-09-05 13:35:30 +0000 UTC]

No problem.

Ok that explains. Now I wont be able to see that bird without thinking of Sniper, lol.

Also shame on me, I though the 'Kestrel' in 'Kestrel Angel Dragon' was some kind of species name rather than an actual bird (I didnt know there was a bird named Kestrel...)

Interesting, is he able to see his target from up there when in recon missions or is he carrying any special equipment?

400 knots is still really fast, though it would be pretty awesome seeing Sniper break the sound barrier.

Makes sense, also that answers the other question I have in mind. Thanks for answering all my questions, you really put a lot of though into Sniper

TwilightSaint In reply to twistedndistorted [2015-09-30 04:08:10 +0000 UTC]

Yep, it's a lil' thing - American Kestrel. ^^

He can't see a lot of detail from up there - it's mainly for wide-area surveillance and transiting to on-station.  Or simply to travel near sensitive areas without being detected.

No problem, thanks for asking!
