Written description of Tieron (covers colours and attire, if interested):
Spoiler
Full Name: Tieron Eirnes Couerlyn
Birthplace: East of Belero, territory of Serra Nacion (Whisper Manor)

Physical Description: Fiery tongues of short-cropped, carmine hair and spirited amber eyes draw you into the curiosity that is this strange man, a creature not entirely a man nor an elfkin. His face is narrow with high-set, pronounced cheek bones, a sharply-cut jaw and a strong chin. His ears, elongated beyond even what is customary for an elf yet thinner than most, are adorned with a coat of ruddy-colored hairs that intensify as they reach toward the tips. Ethereal, jagged fang-like markings like the maw of a beast taper down from his scalp and up from his jawline (four from the top, three from below), the lower set merging together into a singular peak just beneath his Adam’s apple. Though it is obvious from his rugged appearance, a multitude of small abrasions and such injuries, and the extensive weathering on his equipment that Tieron spends many of his days as a hapless wanderer, his skin remains only lightly tanned; a healthy peach pigment that deepens just slightly across his cheeks and on his forearms. He stands fully erect at nearly six-and-a-half-feet, with broad shoulders and a tapering, muscular waist and narrow hips. His chest is scarred many times over from multiple conflicts throughout his youth, with an incredibly large, cross-like marking running shoulder-to-navel, stretching across his left clavicle to the point of his right rib cage (this is almost always kept covered – just making a note of it).

Usual Attire: Most commonly, Tieron is seen wearing the standard fare in traveler’s garb – a loose-fitting tunic and tanned trousers, with subtle influences from his own personal tastes. The tunic is a dark, sandy color and is embroidered with a winding ivy pattern woven out of a deep green thread along the seams and collar, with heavy wooden buttons down the front bearing the crest of his family. Leather strings thread down the right side of the tunic, serving no real purpose other than to please the wearer’s abstract taste. The trousers are tanned several shades darker than the tunic and are covered in all sorts of abrasions, the material worn especially thin at the knees. A pair of thick leather straps situated about the waist forms a makeshift belt and harness, with a trio of clasp-fastened pouches resting on the right hip. On the left, a heavy, thick leather girdle holsters Samsara – a heavy crossbow, Tieron’s most prized possession. Steel-reinforced, knee-high boots buckle twice around each calf and sport thick soles that would make it difficult to get anywhere quietly in an urban setting. Completing his attire, a long cloak the color of leaves in autumn skirts just below his knees – a valuable piece of clothing it would be, were it not so weatherworn and otherwise damaged.



A little bit of back story:
Spoiler
Shura's originally a thief, but she later becomes a bounty hunter. She's not beyond flaunting her looks to find herself in favorable situations. Despite appearances, she actually thinks 95% of the male population are jerks/pigs/perverts, and wouldn't let a single one lay a hand on her body. She's actually the one to kiss Tieron first, b'awww. Despite having the haughty/stubborn/rough-n-tough/passive agressive look/attitude, she's an excellent singer and very down to earth and soft hearted.

So, the story goes that Shura more-or-less gets captured after Tieron's mother and younger brother basically murder her traveling companion right in front of her. Not knowing why she's been taken captive, Shura's holed up in the Manor until Tieron's father arrives and decides what to do with her. Tieron's the only one (aside from the twins) in the Manor to treat her with even a little bit of dignity. Shuradou was a little peasant growing up, and Tieron's been forced into an air of nobility, so he always refers to her as "M'lady". At some point she gets sick of it, and says something to the effect of "Who said I was your lady?" And he gets all blushy and tongue tied and cute. Fast forward, he's asking her more about herself, what she does, and all the while he keeps getting closer to her. Without thinking, she kisses him, and replies that she's a thief. To which he fakes bewilderment that she stole his first kiss, and being embarrassed, she tells him to stuff it, because she gave him hers in return.

The markings on Tieron's face/chest aren't scars, but they're actually super fine hair that are close to his skin tone, so they just look like scars. He's an excellent hunter with a bow. While he's been raised to be noble, he's a wild spirit. He hates being confined in the Manor, he doesn't care for the notion of conquering territories with his elder sister in the name of his parents, 'cause he just wants to do him. In the very beginning he's very torn between Shura and his family, 'cause they pretty much all hate her, but he's madly in love. At some point his father gives him a new bow called Hearteater, then proceeds to tell him that he can't hide his affection for Shura from him, and that he forbids it, and then kinda ominously looks at the bow again.

Shura's earrings change. Originally she only has the linked set of three in her left ear (there's a story behind that). Eventually Tieron has a matching set made for her right ear. At some point down the road they have to part ways, and so she gives it back to him to keep her close, and he ends up piercing his right ear and wears them in her abscence. And he in turn gives her a dagger (the one in the second Tieron ref) to hold onto until they see one another again.

This is probably WAY more information than you want/need, but when I start in on them, I can't stop. ; 3; They're pretty much our OTP of OCs!

Dayam. Chris is good...so are you XD I'll read the description backstory before I draw. I'm actually really excited. I haven't had the umph to draw for awhile, even though I really want to. Everytime I start, they always end up cartoony and I want to move away from that.

Bookmarked post. Going to be to confused in the future why I have it bookmarked (it's in my FF awesome bar folder) because I never delete links and I end up sitting there like "wtf is this for?"

BTW! WHERE IS THE ART I REQUESTED OF YOU LIKE YEARS AGO! I just randomly remembered that XD

I'm still stupid proud of the way it turned out, because I did a buttload of things in that pic I'd never tried before. It just left me with a sour taste in my mouth.
