The Phantom Ref

Finally a decent ref for Phantom! Had this in my files as a wip for the longest time, finally dedicated a chunk of my time to finish it between payments and other things.

Design notes

The colors for inside of her mouth gradient from orange (face end) to pink (nostril end) as shown here and here.

Spines are one solid color, the same one as the sable along her topside.

Smaller set of secondary wings are shaped differently from the main set, they're more narrow and pointed, while the main set is wider and larger.

Ripple effect fades into the body.

Red stripe/ripples glow, and usually don't have shading applied in artwork of her, due to the stripes being a reflection of her power core, which absorbs all light and uses it alongside her absorbtion of fear and terror to create her energy beam. Same applies to the wispy substance on the end of her tail.
