*Sorry for the reupload, FA was being an ass and wouldn't let me update the picture itself. It was bugging me that there was no size indicator here, so I included one.
Wow creative title, go!
Ref sheet for my dragon self, Ziirah. I really need to make more ref sheets, this was kind of fun.
Anyhow, pertinent information is there on the sheet itself, for the most part. She is a sea beast, can breathe salt water through her gills, and air with normal lungs. When she goes underwater, the lungs serve as a sort of swim bladder, much like fish use for assisting in diving and rising. Ears and nostrils can seal closed while underwater. Her sail can fold nearly flush with her body when she is swimming at high speeds, and can quickly unfold to aid in sharp turns. Her bones are lightweight, and the wing "fingers" are made of thick bands of muscle around sturdy cartilage, so they are flexible along their entire length, but are easily flexed into a stiff position. Insides of the ears are ribbed somewhat like a bat's, and can swivel around to cover all angles.
Yep, that's all I can think of for now. :> Please ask before drawing her, of course. She's very personal to me and I don't draw her often myself.

Seeing your character sheet brought back some fond old memories for me. ^__^ When I was first starting out drawing seriously, and doing art trades and such, way back in 2003, you had posted at Draconic.com about requesting art of your dragon self, and I drew your dragon then. ^__^ Been a really long time. I just looked it up in the archives, just to see how far I've come in my art since then, lol. I won't post the link, because I always get embarrassed by old art, lol.
But seriously, your dragon is so detailed. It's very beautiful to see. ^__^

Awwr, i didn't get to read the comment you posted on the first post, so here is another one that is less tired/lazy for you :3
This character sheet is amazing and very well detailed/colored. I always enjoy seeing your art when you post, because of the detail and care you take into everything. :3 Once again, a wonderful addition to your FA page, and as before a Fave for you :3
Hope all is well ^.^
