I'm slowly getting back around to finishing up some of those concepts, so hopefully it wouldn't be too long until they're done. ;D Thank you for your interest!

These all look so good! Makes me want to decimate my hoard of gems...

Is there a chance of you ever making an accent version of reaching zenith? (the skincent is a bit to much going on for me xD)

(Also, I'm curious, how do you get your inspiration? Because I never get further than a vague concept xD)

I could've sworn I was subscribed to this, glad I checked in to update the unnamed skin--

@aelith
There's a possibility, however the main aspect I want to keep (almost the entire wing) goes over 30% coverage so I'd have to find a good way to cut it down without sacrificing too much of the detail. I'm a bit iffy on a lot of the body detail myself, as it looks a bit out of place without the additional art...

As for inspiration; I honestly couldn't tell you a decent method. I come up with concepts on a regular basis but never get most of them past a basic, vague sketch myself. My skins folder is full of unused ideas, roughly 80% of failed concepts to 20% that actually get worked on. A lot of my more recent skins have been based around my own dragons, so now it's "oh, this would look nice on this one" and just roll with whatever comes out afterwards.
