I'm so proud of this! It's taken months of work on and off, but I'm very satisfied!

There are a few things still that I wanted to add to this that there wasn't enough space for, There's probably too much and enough to cause information overload as is! So I prioritized what an artist might find most helpful to see, or what could reduce mistakes by omission.

There will indeed be a second part to this, including additional outfits, variations of them and more plus hopefully the stuff I wanted to put on this sheet but couldn't fit. That's a while off though, I've got a queue of colored sketches to complete and which needs to take priority.

I really like it when there are small bits of lore on a refsheet, like the box about the degree in medicinal botany or mentioning the big, smug sergal. It adds a lot of personality. They're also very cute :3 I'm not an artist and don't know what they (don't) need on a refsheet, but I'd say this is about as much info as you can put on a single "page" without making it too overwhelming. Creating an entire portfolio for a character, kinda like their personal Wikipedia, sounds very cool, though.

Thank you for the wise observations and compliments! It's kind of a relief to hear from someone else that what's in isn't too much, feedback like that is really important for a functional piece like this, and most artists would likely just skim-read and either miss details or never tell if they think it's too much trouble to bother reading it all.

I like your idea of creating a proper character bio/character sheet though, there's probably enough lore or canon or whatever you'd call it that I could do a third part even, with all of that. Things like life history, countries lived in, current living arrangements, lifestyle, what a typical day looks like etc. Thanks for prompting that line of thinking!
