Bahamut (Chinese)
Pixiv (Japanese)
Their names are Ariel(left) and Cobalt(right). I drew them in some posts in my Bahamut blog, but the posts are in Chinese and I have no much time to translate them.
This is my first time trying 2.99. I have some Python scripts to aid my work, but the plug-in APIs are totally changed from 2.10, and currently there is no good document about new APIs. I have to study GIMP source codes to understand them.
And I faced a problem: Smudge tool didn't work properly on layers not placed at top-left of the image. I found that this was fixed in 2023/1/4.

But 2.99.14, which I used to draw this artwork, hasn't include this patch. I had to set all layers the same size as the image to avoid this problem.
