I wasn't quite happy with the original design because it felt like it wasn't really coming together. Especially the stripes on the arms and legs felt out of place even though I liked those the most.
So I got rid of everything else and thought of a new design centered around the stripes. This is the result.
There's still work to do with the other views, especially the top-down view showing the back and the top side of the wings. :drgn_mlem:
Oooh, #GraphiteEditor has the node graph functionality, which allows you to compose vector objects from the primitives like fill, stroke, transform and live filters in a visual manner!
Node graph interface and filters both give me this nice break-out I needed after LPEs in #Inkscape. Don't get me wrong: that program is THE legend, developers are masters of vectors, and it's purely native Gtk toolkit on which application is built. Right now, their priority is CMYK support, so follow if you're into printing.
I just love to experiment with shiny new software that's #OpenSource, especially one that uses #RustLang and #web to its advantage.
Watch 'em apply circular repeat filter on a mere line to produce this fun sparkle effect. (It is Graphite's official channel, by the way. Wish they were on Mastodon?)
Worked on the ref sheet again. I fixed the head in the logo, made the shading more complex in some views, and changed the layout of the WAAH :drgn_yell: view. I want to redo the layout for the legs view as well because I just couldn't think of any use for the empty space

I like semi-obscure references and jokes for most of my music related fan art designs. This one is a #GratefulDead reference rendered the the style of the Allmans logo for obvious reasons. I drew the lettering by hand and then finished it as Illustrator #vectorart.
Does anyone know any #artists who would be up for redrawing a black and white personal logo?
I'd like it simplifying and the lines thickening, so it scales down better.
It's going to be put on circuit boards at various sizes - #vectorart (eg SVG) would be useful.
Ideally I'd like it drawn in a way that I could change the line width in Inkscape, or with a few line-width variants for different final sizes...
