Tell me baby, what's your story?
<center>![Zara showing off while talking to Zul'jinn](https://technonaturalist.net/sites/default/files/styles/sensible_display/public/art/tell-me-baby.png?itok=MoGFKzZn)</center>

*Where you come from and where you wanna go this time?*

Zara and Zul'jinn hanging out in a courtyard either at Zara's apartment complex or more likely Juan's place.

There isn't so much rhyme or reason to this, it just kind of happened while I was listening to the chorus of [Red Hot Chilli Peppers: Tell Me Baby](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDNcL1VP3rY).  As a young adult most of Zara's gymnastics skills simply augment her fighting style but every now and again she likes to randomly show off.  I think she's going into a straddle press handstand on the wall.

One of these days I will do nice rather than sketchy close ups of the tattoos.

This took longer than it had any right to as my Flier rigs seem to be rather borked.  Appending the Dragonkin base was causing Blender to segfault but linking was doing something weird with the tail rig and for whatever reason the spine guide refused to move with the rest of it (I am quite certain it's parented in the model).  I ended up rearranging the entire scene around Zul'jinn in the interests of getting it into Krita.

Then I felt like colouring but that would have taken another round of forever so I just attacked it with the pencil after I'd finished scrawling.

Then I realised I forgot to go to bed again, so no more working on wing membranes (which is what I was trying to take a QUICK break from doing).

Sigh :)

Oh shoot! I must've mixed up Zul'jinn and Za'haran! Maybe that's why I thought he was on the up and up. Without colors, those two look eerily similar, do they not?

I really like how you drew Zara's pose. The depth of the legs was well done. Looks very 3D, pertaining to the leg near the screen.

Most of my characters probably look annoyingly similar in sketch because I have this bad habit of only including details in colour unless they're particularly prominent -_- My sketches and even my lineart tend to be agonisingly basic as if I'm going to be doing anything with them I put in enough to remember what I need to do and then just do everything with colour.  Which is not very helpful if I'm just going to be showing people a sketch and never colour them XD

Thanks ^_^

Maybe you could add in distinguishing features like a scar or a broken horn/wing just so that the lineart are different from each other even without color haha!
