#Riivar Aden Blu

Riivar Aden Blu's reference sheet is done and ready for Art Fight!

I used her first redesign template/outfit for the reference for time/energy sake and worked from there. Her dragon form sadly will not be shown in any reference for Art Fight for this year as a week before Art Fight is too short of time to wrestle that challenge (her human form is challenge enough for me for whatever reason).

I have not drawn her firebird puppet since her original concept sketch so it was nice to get to see it in a drawn art style (as the OG draw I had toyed around with realistic fire rendering more).

Happy Valentines Day!! From Riivar and Demauria. I love @kihaku-gato OC’s in case you didn’t know :3

While trying to get grips of the days via calendar I thought I'd help myself be aware by celebrating the silly little things- like my OCs' canonical birthdays.

Feb 17- the birthday of Riivar Aden Blu

She's in the process of being redesigned, a sketch and a wip of her for you all I would've liked to have something more complete by now, but between busy farm stuff and a busted/strained up drawing arm that wasn't going to happen.

The first artpiece of her was this from June 2011, blasting blue phoenix fire. She is a lesbian Phoenix Dragon who severed her ties of being a princess of the eastern kingdom Kennara, and travels the kingdom of Duskaria doing musical/dance/fire performances for adoring wlw fans.

Save for small details (and one case of trying different hairstyles) most of her design had retained for the years she was created, and she has always been a difficult character to draw/depict.

Some of it is her body/face is so far from what I usually draw for characters imo, some of it is that it's hard for me to put myself in the shoes of such a character.

Her new design is in many ways much more detailed than her old design I hope it may help me draw her easier and more often. I love her old design, but it has always been hard to work with for me despite how simple it is.

Here's to hoping she is seen more on here in the future

Also yes you may have noticed the lil blushing face in the first sketch of this thread; Harriet is a big idolizing simp for Riivar
