This character sheet displays so much about Rakant that's important to me when it comes to his character design. Blackwing manages to slip in so many details about Rakant from his personality, design, to quirks and preferences.

The front facing view showcasing Rakant's narrow chest, he is a lot more lithe than some dragons which allows him to be faster and more agile at the cost of brutal strength (this obviously doesn't mean he's weak, but there are trade offs to having certain builds! Can't be the strongest and the fastest all the time).

The sideview provides that classic view that's important for any reference work, while also showing off the flow of Rakant's markings. You can even see at the wing-cutout how the flesh on the outside edges is blue like the rest of his flesh. The glow doesn't extend to deep tissue besides organs, muscle and bone remains a natural pigment since the ethereal energy is being drawn to the surface a majority of the time.

You can see some incredible detail of the eyes and an adorable chibi Rakant along with his color pallet at the top left. Next to these is some shelves showcasing some aspects of Rakant's life, a gold pile with one of the coins showing off Rakant's insignia, a skull with a rune enchanted onto it, a letter stamped with his seal (Leading a nation requires a lot of letters...), along with some gems that hold energy from enchantments.

The headshots show off a few things, the mawshot showcases the anatomy of Rakant's maw while also giving a clear view of his color pallet. The fire Rakant is breathing is being infused with ethereal energy, enhancing the flame's lasting power and strength (the only offensive enchantment Rakant preforms, everything else is usually utility). The upper middle headshot showcases Rakant without any ethereal energy being infused or channeled which is actually Rakant's standard, he can be seen most of the time like this, without markings or extra glow (he usually has the glow up when he's enchanting something or is just wanting to show off). Blackwing kindly included a cheeky sticker for me as well.

We see an amazing action pose at the top left, displaying the pure power and pressure behind Rakant's firebreath. I've always described his breath weapon to be more like a fire-hose than a waterfall of flame.

Rakant uses most of his collected ethereal energy to enchant items that serve a wide variety of purposes, depending on how well Rakant can 'will' the enchantment to do as he needs. Rakant's created things as simple as ever-lasting torches that do not produce smoke or ash, all the way to carriages that move on their own (Although these carriages are only capable of moving on a set path).

Lastly at the bottom right is a full render that showcases Rakant's scales in their full glory. Rakant's scales incorporate obsidian which allows for them to have a sleek surface great for deflecting sharp and pointy objects while not being too great at blunt attacks. The way his glow weaves between scales and how reflective his scales are also showcased brilliantly in this section thanks to the regal red carpet beneath.
