Commission - Ruko Reference Sheet (Patreon)

This is a ref commissioned by my beloved partner Xuruko <3
He wanted a full reference of his character, so that he can use it to commission another artist (or multiple) for a 3D vtuber model for his stream! :D  (You can find his Twitch here! I am a guest star sometimes hee hee)

I've attached the sketches, and previous iterations I've done of his character design for funsies ^^
Originally I made him just.. an ambiguous mix of fish and husky traits, but we started calling him a koi dragon mix, so I leaned more into those traits with the final result.

I haven't worked on a lot of refs, so I definitely feel like I need to get better at... laying things out? But overall I'm happy with this, it has all of the necessary info in a clear way that helps a modeler work. Hopefully it doesn't feel *too* cluttered ^^;

He will also likely be pestering me to complete something similar for my character too.. so maybe we will see that eventually lol :3
