Thiras Character Reference

[annarti]

It's Thiras! Man, she was just a breeze after two Kazinian royals and a Llayan royal. Zero embelishments, just as simple as simple gets, thanks Tsayth. I've made a bit of a change to Tsaythis, making them based on Indigenous Australians now rather than Black Africans, cos the world of Tsyllaes has in general moved more towards Australia than Africa. Llayad notwithstanding. Anyway. This will have likely zero narrative impact, since I wouldn't know how to put such differences into words, but it'll make a difference when I'm drawing them. I've only ever drawn a grand total of six Tsaythis, the main of them being Thiras who I've drawn, like, four times, so there's not a lot of retroactively changing things here. This is not like changing the Llayan clothing where I've drawn dozens of Llayans and hence go 'just imagine them in floatier clothes now' cos there are only six of 'em, so I'll be redrawing all six headshots. Probably not at A4 as I've been doing the recent redraws, tho, just Thiras.

NUDE All of that being said, Thiras now uses Cathy Freeman as reference :D Her pose was made up of no less than five ref images--legs of an interpretive dancer, body of Lorde doing some fun dance moves, two different hands and Cathy Freeman's head. Totally works, though the hips were tricky to figure out. The leather thong around her neck is a permanant fixture, wind witching thing, so it's still there when nude.

UNDERWEAR Similarly to Yan's profile, this is just to give me some more images to use on her profile. 'Bra' is just a strip of roughspun made from seagrass/beachgrass wrapped around boobs at the front, crossed over at the back, then tied under the boobs at the front. Undies feel too complicated for Tsayth, idk. They are functional, tho, so that's practical.

PANTS Bonus pants and bra, for a hot day on the ship, and to once again give me more art of her for her profile. Big pockets.

SAILOR Thiras is not currently a sailor, but she has been/will be. On ships, Tsaythis will wear pants and simple shirts to prevent rope burn and such. More practical than the poncho they wear on land.

PONCHO Typical everyday wear for a land-based Tsaythi. It's just a square of the same roughspun with a hole in the middle for the head. Points go to the wrists, and they tie a rope around their waist via two holes in the front and back.
