So, as promised, here's the reference sheet of my new Utahraptor character Karata Nuvari. His pattern is based on some of the options you can see in The Isle, but with a few feathers thrown in. I'll get to the rules in a moment, but, needless to say, this wasn't an easy ref to draw, since for the first time, I was showing the head from multiple angles, and having to show the full range of marking patterns. This will serve as an example of a full-ref on my Square Site, which is multiple views, and sometimes even detailed information about the character.

Now, for the depiction rules:
Karata can be drawn in one of three ways:
Full Plumage: head to toe feathers, so long as the markings are intact.
As depicted
Jurassic Park: Just leave the final feather on the tail (the one with the extra marking)

As for adult works, be sure to ask me first before committing to drawing or commissioning. I typically don't mind my characters being drawn in adult works, so long as they're with their mates, or not breaking the rules I lay out. In Karatas case, he doesn't have any 'life mates', so he can be depicted with any female character. Just, again, check with me first.

So, what do you guys think of my first new character that isn't a re-body of Dakara? Leave your comments below.
