Woo, an aritist...jackpot, hehehe.
I'm not interested in computer models...the picture is going to be put up somewhere either on this message board or on the website, if I can ever get access to the shell and fix it.
So, you need a description eh? Well, ask and ye shall receive.
--General Appearance
Tarrin is 7'8" tall (got me what that is in meters...hehehe), and weighs 350 pounds, all of it muscle. His basic body appearance is a combination of power and sinuous sleekness, favoring definition over muscle bulk, but he does have some muscle. His body is built like a gymnast. Outside of his obvious Were-cat alterations, his body is extremely human-looking.
The major parts of his appearance that has to be attended most carefully are, naturally, his Were-cat features. His fur is coal black, thick, short, and only extends to a ragged line just above his elbows on his arms, and just above his knees on his legs. He has shaggy fetlocks as well. The fetlocks on his arms grow on the outside of his forearms from midway up the forearm to the wrist, and on his legs, the grow on the backs and outsides of his legs from midcalf to ankle. These fetlocks are rather shaggy, but their fur is not very long.
His ears are not overly large, but they are very noticable. They extend UP more than they extend OUT, but they do have tilt to them given they are set on the outside of the top of his skull. His ears are typically cat, triangular in general appearance and with their backs covered in black fur. His ears stick out from his hair, which is pulled back and around the ears to form his braid.
Tarrin's hands are not human. His hands are double the normal size of a hand for his body's size, with very large, thick fingers. He has 5 fingers on each hand, and naturally, does not have fingernails. The palms of his hands have a single large pad along the ball of the hand (the area below the fingers) and extending down through the center of his hand to just near the thumb. Each finger has two small pads on it as well, on the first and second phalanges. His thumb only has one pad, on the first phalange.
Tarrin's feet are much more inhuman than his hands, for they are a cross between a cat's paw and a human foot. They are abnormally wide across the ball, and each foot possesses overly large, developed toes. Unlike a cat, who only has 4 toes on the back feet, Tarrin has 5 toes on his feet, and each one shows the tip of the claw recessed within at all times (Were-cats can't completely retract their feet claws...they're too large. Foot claws are substantially larger than hand claws on Were-cats). Tarrin stands on the balls of his feet and walks on his toes, which makes him appear to stand at a height of 8'2", but his feet and legs don't have the duke-ankle joint prevalent in most quadrapeds. His ankle is most definitely formed like a human ankle. Much as with his hands, Tarrin has a very large, thick pad across the ball of his foot, and the tip of each toe and the bottom of his heel also carries a pad.
Of special note: Tarrin's tail is exactly 1.5 times the length of his leg. Yes, that makes it abnormally long (nearly 6 feet long), but that's Were-cat anatomy. It also sticks out of his lower back just above the cleft of his buttocks, NOT out from between them. Coming into a vertical base caused Were-cats' tails to both shift in their position and lengthen to maintain weight proportion. His tail fur is black like the rest of his fur, and it does NOT tuft at the tip.
--Appearance
Tarrin's face carries strong cheeks and a squared jaw, but his features are drawn because of his height. His apparent age is very difficult to determine, for his face carries both a youthful look and an ageless, timeless quality (thanks to Shiika's kiss). When his features are relaxed, he looks very young. When he carries his usual stony, emotionless expression, he looks very mature (but not OLD). His green eyes are quite piercing with their vertical pupils, and his eyebrows are blond and a little thin. His nose is slightly narrow, with a slightly upturned tip.
If you draw him with his mouth open, REMEMBER THE FANGS!
Tarrin customarily wears a simple vest that only extends to his waist, leaving his chest and midriff bare, and a pair of simple leather breeches whose legs are tattered from his foot claws. Were he still living, he would be wearing his amulet and have his brands.
Just another guy from the shallow end of the gene pool.
