#gabu art
no, not Gabu. some of you might know my sleepy goat/dragon, Nap! i've been wanting to make some changes to them and i wanna show off what i've been working on!
changelog:
- + shark
- unified the palette to flow nicer; his head is a little darker and more towards purple
- swapped the wing and mane color so that i could let the mane go all the way up his neck and head
i always had a kind of headcanon that he was like, a goat and dragon plushie stitched together and come to life, but i sometimes felt that his head and body were a bit TOO contrasting with eachother.
i tried to make his head the same color as his body but it looked bad and he loses all his uniqueness. then i saw fish tails and was like HE NEEDS A FISH TAIL. and now with a shark tail he's even more of a "plush chimera" and as a result everything fits better together
this is just a high effort edit of his old art but i think i'll be making a new slightly larger res ref sheet with a back view and some more poses for him.......
