Thanks to D e l i c a t e for the lovely banner! heart


Welcome to this humble yet unique art request thread. Please make yourself at home. What makes it different? you may ask. Well, this is an OC Couples Art Request for one, but what separates it from the usual norm are the subjects itching to be drawn. If you have met me before, you may know that my main OC would be my namesake and he has a separate art request thread for himself (visit it here)

So why have another one if you're asking for more art of him? Well, there's a reason behind that and the title itself may give it away. Thorn has always been a ladies man (think James Bond in a fantasy/medieval setting) and I would love some art of him together with other OCs (females only in case you were wondering).

Doesn't Thorn have a significant other or life partner? I am proud to say NO. He travels too much to actually settle down wi-

Alright alright, get on with it already.

Since there are just too many lovely female OCs out there, I created this thread to accept applications of those wanting their own OCs to be featured in a couples pic with Thorn. I will then choose several (depending on my gold hoard and probably once a month) and then look for artists willing to draw them. Of course, I am offering to pay up to 65% of the pic, rather than split it halfway.

Think about it, couples pics are usually more dynamic than single pieces (when done right). And because they are usually double or more of the single price, it makes sense to take advantage of this discount that I'm offering. And don't worry, if your OC is chosen, I'll make sure that we BOTH mutually agree on the artist.

Brief Summary (for those who are lazy):
I accept OC applications for the month.
I select a few OCs.
I look for artists to do a couple pic of said OC and Thorn.
We get lovely art pieces.

Still awake? I apologise for my long-windedness, bad habit of mine. Well if you are still interested, let's move on to the juicier parts!

All those with interesting female OCs please fill up this form! Remember to follow the theme!

Oh, and the chosen OCs will receive a FREE group picture of them together with Thorn! mrgreen So apply!

[b]Name:[/b] Your Gaian Name
[b]OC Name:[/b]
[b]OC Profile:[/b] I love to read about your OC so make it as detailed as possible. And yes, links are allowed. And also reference pics get much luff!
[b]Feelings towards Thorn:[/b] Please insert a nice write-up regarding your OC's interaction with Thorn ie how she feels about him, be it romantically, rivalry, etc. Bonus marks if you can do a short RP involving the two!
[b]Idea(s) for the Couple Pic:[/b] If you think your OC would look great fawning over Thorn, threatening to kill him or quarelling, -censored for Gaian audiences- etc, post it here!
[b]Budget:[/b] How much you are willing to pay for your half eg 50k
[b]Discount factor:[/b] From -100 to 15% (With negative numbers meaning you want to pay more and -100% being a gift to me)


For those confused over the Discount Factor, here's an example of how it works:

Your Budget: 50k
Discount: 0% means I pay 50k as well and total Budget would be 100k
Discount: 5% means I pay 55% of the pic and you pay 45%
Since 45% = 50k, total budget = 50k + 61.1k = 111.1k
Discount: 15% means I pay 65% and your 50k = 35% of the total budget. Total Budget in this case is 142.8k gonk

Still confusing right? That's how it's meant to be! twisted rofl

Winter. As howling winds sweep across the plains, a lone figure trudges through the snow-covered trail. Thornshield ignores the cold biting at his feet, the dark green cloak of his fluttering behind him. Thorn's destination was just up ahead; a large stone and wood establishment, with the warm glow of fireplaces shining through the window. Merriment and laughter could be heard emanating from the place, for it was a famous tavern around these parts, making it a suitable place to take refuge during the winter blizzards.

Stopping for a moment, Thorn took in a deep breath of the refreshing cold air. The knight had replaced his usual plate armour for a thick fur-trimmed one, suitable to keep warm in this unusually cold winter. And with that, he carried on towards the tavern, looking forward to the warmth of a roaring fire and perhaps that of a woman's body.

If the profiles of the OCs are up and you're planning to draw a couples pic of Thorn and any of the available OCs, please fill up this form.

THORNSHIELD'S PROFILE


Full Biodata (Must visit!) found here:
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.


User Image

Name: Thornshield
Gender: Male
Age: Thought to be immortal, but looks barely older than 25
Eye colour: Black, but glows neon green when aura is activated
Hair colour: Black
Hair style: Short, messy/spiky, similar to my Gaian avvie
Height: 6 feet tall
Size: Broad shouldered and more muscular than lean

Appearance: Mature and rugged looking, Thorn has a pleasant and friendly face to look at. His black eyes are filed with warmth and he exudes an air of confidence about him, being a charismatic figure in society. His skin has a healthy tan (imagine bronze gods) and is well built from fighting and hard work as a smith.

If he is going to battle, he is always armoured, with him being most comfortable in full plate. However, as a smith, he forges new armour sets and tries them on, so he may appear on a battlefield wielding various weapons and clad in new outfits. When times are peaceful, he is usually clad in his smith's clothing when at the armoury, or in clothes fitting the nobility, usually with a cloak.

Key traits: Calm, friendly, wise, honourable & courageous.

Extra notes: An innate ability of all knights in his homeland is aura manipulation, which is basically the channeling of inner energies which take various colours for offense and defense. Thorn's aura is green in colour, hence why his eyes may glow green.

CHOSEN OC'S PROFILE #1


CARTAGIA'S LAVERIS

OC Profile:

User Image
Laveris is a leader (depending upon which genre you have her in (sci-fi or pure fantasy) it is either a kingdom or an empire of planets). Before her rise to power she was a well-off daughter, which disatisfied her - her restlessness with this role lead her to become involved in a revolt, which failed. Her connections in society secured her a pardon, which caused her discomfit. Determined to escape this life which disgusted her social conscience she joined the military but only as a guise - after a year she left the ranks and became a lone traveler, or mercenary, hiring her services in transporting sensitive goods, debt collection, a bodyguard, etc... She managed to survive this way much more happily than she had done in any previous position but after some time she was pushed into a position of more power, partially against her will and partially as something she has always wanted (as anyone and everyone has some desire to have power).

Above all else Laveris is wicked - a tease, with a sense of humour that verges on the sadistic. She loves being in control and affirms her authority by shocking and surprising people, or by tricking them. She is highly manipulative and devious as well, with no moral qualms about using people to gain an advantage for herself. However, do not make the mistake of thinking she is evil. She is ruthless only up to a point - she will not harm the innocent, though she will exact her revenge (or justice, depending upon your point of view) upon those that she believes deserves it. Her temper, when roused, is vicious and can make her a frightening person but it can make her irrational and has on occasion made her say or do something which she has later regretted. She is also meticulous and thoughtful - careful almost to the point of paranoia. Unfortuntly her self-confidence is overwhelming and so does not always make the most careful decisions even when she has realised which one this is., something often fueled by her tendancy to be impulsive. Often restless, Laveris finds it difficult to settle. She is promiscous, though just a little romantic, and hedonistic. She enjoys living simply for living's sake - she parties, drinks the best alcohol, eats the best food and smokes when the mood takes her. However she is very proud - she will only have these luxeries if she has bought them herself. For much of her life she dislikes, and where possible refuses, to use her family's money.

Appearance wise, this is really interesting, as I have never thought about a winter outfit for her. So I'll have to find one! xd There is also the fact that she would not wear the same outfit for going out on the pull ( xd ) that she wears everyday.

References: (Please follow this outfit if possible!)
Just a really quick sketch I did (took about 5 mins, don't judge it on artistic ability xd ). It's the cloak and dress as shown below, with a cigarette in a drag, a gold circlet, star pendant and sash. The colours are up to the artist but ones I would prefer are whites, purples, dark blues. Her hair is black and her skin in fair and pale.

Pic I took inspiration for the dress from.
Similary, the cloak

Other images (different outfit of course):
<x>
<x>



Feelings towards Thorn: I think Thornshield would be of great interest and fasination to Laveris. For a start, he is attractive in a physical sense and Laveris is a hedonist so there would be a natural appeal there. She takes her relationships casually and often in secret - she sees pleasure for what it is; fleeting. That said, she would not view him as removed as, say, "a piece of meat" but she would be interested in him for little more than an evening of alchohol, conversation and...other things. ninja

Idea(s) for the Couple Pic:
Really I'm happy for an artist to come up with their own ideas but I'll offer a few incase they prefer that! ^^

* Really there are lots of situations they could be in - simply talking and drinking, flirting, Laveris looking at Thorn with extreme (and I don't mean innocent) interest. The only thing I can't see would be, for example, things like cuddling. It would be more sexual than that. wink I do have an image of them standing together in the snow, with Laveris just slightly hanging on his arm and looking at him with a sort of...suggestive smirk. xd

Roleplay:

A fire flicked fast fury through the inn's window, warm and inviting as the embrace of a lover. The snow licked around Laveris' boots, oozing aside as each step took her closer to that warmth. She pulled her bag higher up her shoulder and, just for a few seconds, paused at the door. Then she pushed it and the creak made her feel welcome, in some unexplainable way.

None of the other patrons gave her even a momentary glance. Her appearance was not extraordinary; like others here she was alone, a traveller - well, a mercenary. The transportation of goods and information was important to many and undertaken by few but for the risk. Danger made Laveris feel alive.

At the bar she ordered a drink and a meal and took a place as close to the fire as possible. She pulled off her boots with a satisfied gasp and let the flames warm her toes. As she wriggled them her eyes lost their focus and fell to a man in green, shining pieces of armour at his side. He seemed to be polishing it with careful and proud intent, all his attention focused upon the task. This man was surely a warrior of great pride and honour, everything about him said as such to her. Even his very stature shone with charm and self-confidence; Laveris sat up slowly. An interesting man indeed.

She pushed herself to her feet, grabbed her boots and approached him. She coughed lightly to get his attention.

"'Cuse me?" she said. "Can I...help you polish your chest plate?" She smiled shamelessly as he looked her up and down.

"Hello Miss." he spoke in a deep but friendly voice. "I'm afraid...I have finished my chest all ready."

"Do you have any...other parts I could help with?" she grinned and held out her hand. "My name is Laveris. May I sit? If it helps the decision know that I just gave up a very comfortable seat by the fire to approach you."

The man returned a smile. "Please," he said. "You may call my Thornshield. Or Thorn."

"Interesting name." Laveris mused. "It is not what I would have called you - I believe that 'ravishing' is much more fitting."

CHOSEN OC'S PROFILE #2


CIMEARA'S CHHAYARANI/RANIYA CORBET

OC Profile:
User Image
Name: Chhayarani ("shadow queen" wink , called "Chhaya", real name Raniya Corbet
Race/Gender: human female, golden tanned skin
Age: 22
Build: slim but well-curved and with strong muscle to her, 5' 8" tall
Eyes: golden yellow, hawk-like, slightly slanted
Hair: smokey not quite black, very full, mostly straight, waist-length or slightly below
Other Features: high cheekbones, generously full lips often pursed
Clothes: dark colored high-collared tunic, dark leather or cloth pants, knee-length leather boots, long dark leather gloves to almost elbow length and a bit over-sized looking (actual: elven mithral chainmail with a glamer magic on it to seem like clothes)
Accessories: heavy leather belt with two pouches, a large hooked dagger (jambiya) and a slightly curved longsword
Jewelry: none
Profession: personal bodyguard, a duskblade who had skills with magic as well as her weapons
Mood: quietly proud, reserved but with a good sense of humor, hidden uncertainty with her life but a strong belief in fate, that no matter what happens you just need to get through it
History:Merchant family in Faerun D&D campaign setting. Rivals attacked and wiped out their caravan, killing all but Chhaya, age 8, who was pushed away into some bushes by her mother in time, but got to watch the whole thing. Chhaya was picked up by the next travellers along, eventually found and taken in by an unusual relative: her great-great-grandfather, a sun-elf. (That's not enough elven blood to make Chhaya look much elven.) He taught her, trained her, and then left her ten years later to make her way back in the human world. She first tried being a caravan guard and found she enjoyed the camaraderie of it, but was offered work guarding a merchant noble's daughter that reminded her of her older sister and thought that more important. They've now gone to another land, and she's looking for work.

RP: Chhaya meets Thorn

Feelings towards Thorn: She's not interested in a relationship, and too reserved and self-controlled to have a one-night stand, but she's fascinated by his experiences, loves listening to his stories and curious about his knowledge of sword techniques and the problems of his world, and she doesn't mind looking on wryly while he talks yet another beauty into bed with him. So far managing to avoid any hints of that in her own direction.

Idea(s) for the Couple Pic:
Drinking together at a tavern, maybe with a giggling girl on either side of Thorn.
Helping him out of a mess of any sort.
Training in swordplay, showing tricks to each other.
Casual flirting that both are openly certain isn't going anywhere (and underneath, maybe not so certain?).

CHOSEN OC'S PROFILE #3


KHIRO'S 'SNOW QUEEN' ISHA

OC Profile:

User ImageThere is a rumor that there is a young and mysterious girl who dwells in a specific mountain region. Many who have attempted to cross through that mountain pass failed to return, but those who have managed to make out alive, all have reported seeing a pale female who helped them and restored them to full health, as well as helping them to return to the village closest to the mountains. This unknown female has been nicknamed ‘Snow Queen’, rumored to have control over the weather in the mountains and controlling who will come back alive.

In reality ‘Snow Queen’ is a young girl named Isha, she has no mother or father and doesn’t really remember much of anything, other than the snowy mountaintop where she lives. She also has some small powers, such as being able to see through ice storms and small powers to heal, or somehow raise a person’s body heat, since often when she comes across a person, she finds that she’s somehow able, to in a sense, revive them. She likes being alone and living in the mountains, and hates having to deal with people, unless absolutely necessary. Isha also has a fear that because of her abilities, that she will be hunted out due to her abilities.

In terms of personality Isha is a very sweet and quiet girl who is good with animals. Since she doesn’t interact with people very often she’s always shy or curious around them. Often she will help the survivors from snowstorms as much as she can without even saying a single word, before quickly vanishing again into the snow.

SPOILER: Isha is in fact not human at all, but a very powerful snow/ice protection spirit who had lost her memories, and she somehow came into the mentality that she’s a human. She eventually regains her memory and will become Thorn’s protection spirit in cold places.

Feelings towards Thorn: She wants to protect Thorn, because she feels that there’s something special about him. She finds him fascinating and unlike other humans, who she usually just leaves, but instead she took him in and wanted to learn more about him, as well as other humans through Thorn.

Idea(s) for the Couple Pic: Isha putting up a protection shield around Shield

CHOSEN OC'S PROFILE #4


KITTY-KUNGFU'S HOSHINO IYASU

OC Profile:
User Image
~ General Overview ~
Age: 18-23
Birthday: March 8
Profession: Geisha/Geiko (Kyoto)
Height: 5’6”
Weight: 135 Ibs
Eyes: Normally a deep hazel, but depending on her mood, her eyes change into a honey hue. On very rare occasions her eyes will change into the honey color with a dazzling halo of green encircling each iris.
Hair: Dark brunette, boarding on to ebony that flows down to the small of her back. When her hair is not up in the unique geisha style, her hair is weaved back into a braid. It is very rarely ever seen down by anyone.
Appearance:
Under the legendary beauty of the white make-up, blood red lips and silken gowns of kimono that geisha wear, lays the body of a simple village girl. Her face holds a mysterious beauty to with delicate cheeks (low zygomatic arches) with a slender nose separating her hazel eyes and elegantly formed brows to her seductive semi-full lips.

Outside of the tea houses and festivals she can be seen wearing simple cotton kimono and her long locks still up in one of the geisha designs. Whenever she sneaks out to go riding she can be seen in an old pair of peasant breeches and tightly tied yukata with straw zori. Her clothing may not be much to look at during these outings, but it does allow her curves to be seen along with her true petite frame.

~ * Reference Pic(s) * ~
As a geisha made by kitty herself
Full view
Personality:
As a child Iyasu was very stubborn, out-spoken, ambitious and always yearned to help out her father (Seijitsu) in the Emperor’s armed forces. She had always wanted to do something very major to help out her family. However, since she could not help out her father she would always settle for helping out her mother, Sekei, with the horses, playing with her little sister, Linea, and minding her older brother, Inochi (at least in her mind she was minding him, when was quite the opposite). At the tender age of seven, she had a distilled passion for horses that mellowed out her stubborn and ambitious ways. As she grew up the tides of her personality crested into an over flow of musical embrace and horse riding and pre-training (for her xD). Iy-chan had softened into a young lady of gentle caring and hopeful attitude through the help of music and books, but with a zing of ambition and smart a** wit. However, under her calm and semi-playful shell she hides her true feelings.

From sheltered village life, she can be shy to strangers in the beginning, however in her career, Iyasu can not afford to be shy. Although, she loves her profession, it is one of reasons why she escapes out to the stables near by the city to ride. The freedom of letting the wind fly past her and letting her braided hair unwind in it. Riding lets her feel like herself and allows her to think clearer. She tends to not confront people about anything, unless the subject happens to be her family or very dear friends. If the matter is about her or love she will be at a loss. Her best and also worst subject is addressing herself and love.

History:
Born and raised in a village nestled safely in a valley, she was the middle child of three. Inochi, the eldest, would help out their mother with horses while Iyasu took care of the baby of the family and tended to the house. Their father primarily stayed in Kyoto serving in the armed forces of the Emperor. Letters would come from him every so often with a bit of money stashed in, but the flow of money was kept alive by Sekei’s work with training horses and running the stables, along with Inochi’s and Iyasu’s help. It was not long though that Inochi fell in love and left the family to start his own. Iyasu was ten at the time this happened and had the biggest revelation of her life.

Her father had sent for her to come and join him in Kyoto. There was a promising arrangement of marriage in store for her if the boy’s family thought of her to be pretty enough and suitable to bring them male heirs. She was sent out at once with her brother at her side (he was happy to oblige to watch over because he was in search for the prefect gift for his bride). Iyasu left the village for the very first time in her life. The landscape of Japan was beautiful. Each town and village they passed amazed the girl, but when they arrived in Kyoto . . .

It was spring time in the cultural city where the sakura trees were in bloom and festivals were taking place. Their father greeted them happily under the falling petals with a mighty hug for his only son and kiss on the forehead for his sweet daughter. It was at this time that Iyasu had her first glimpse of a geisha. With the seductive prongs of naked skin on the napes of their neck, the gorgeous and complicated kimono, the fancy ornaments in their artistic hair styles the village girl couldn’t help but be captivated by these beauties. These women flirted so easily with other men and were so witty. She felt out of place in the city.

Her father and brother explained what was happening in their lives with excitement about carrying on the family name and prospect of sending middle child off to a better and fruitful life. She did not listen to them. Her mind was racing with curious questions and fascination about these elegant women. Before long, they were walking and talking, ushering the girl forward. She was forced to break her gaze of the mysterious women. After that taste, she wanted to know more about them.

Her first night in Kyoto was an eager one to learn more and to ask her father about the pretty women in the expensive kimono. Seijitsu barely answered her questions on his daughter’s new obsession. He had spent time with the geisha, however he did not like to talk about it; especially in front of his children. He did tell Iyasu the reason why she was in Kyoto. At the sound of an arranged marriage, she swallowed hard and felt herself go numb. An arranged marriage meant they were trying to get rid of her, however what else could they do with the curse residing over the women of the family?

The Hoshino family carried in the darkness a curse that will forever rot on their women. This curse was placed upon the family by a jealous young woman. She cast upon every woman born into that family shall forever be alone, until her life of misery is complete. Why would anyone cast such a wicked curse? No one knows, but it has been proven that this curse could be false. Very few woman of this family had escaped this horrible fate. Their loop hole was to escape the valley and create a new life else where. It seemed that an arranged marriage was the only way out for Iyasu and eventually Linea. Unless, she created a way to escape the curse without having to worry about being a burden to her family.

That night she decided to carve her own destiny to escape the ill fate of the cursed Hoshino women and to find out more about being a geisha.

The meeting went well with the prospected groom’s family, however Iyasu was not too thrilled. With her plan running through her mind, she decided to address the issue with her mother when they returned home.

The events that followed after they arrived home, finalized Iyasu’s decision. Her mother answered her questions about geisha, that they were women who entertained men that sold their skills to them. They performed dances, played all sorts of instruments and even did a bit of acting. They were dazzling in Iyasu’s mind, but they were not in her mother’s. She was scolded for dreaming so wildly about joining the ranks of a geisha, but it still did not stop her.

At the age of twelve, the ambitious Iy-chan ran away from home. All she brought with her was the precious money she saved up from her shifts of working in the stables and doing odd jobs around the village; two very simple cotton kimono; an extra set of zori; some bread and some fish. She had finally set herself free and was following her dreams.

With the hardships of her journey to Kyoto and of finding an okiya willing to take her, she joined the ranks of geisha starting from the lowest to gaining the highest rank in a remarkable amount of time. She was eighteen, a full fledged geisha and entertaining some of the richest men of all time.

Feelings towards Thorn:
Read this Poem
~ Overall feelings toward: Definitely a crush/friends thing

Idea(s) for the Couple Pic: 1) Iyasu blushing like mad over him while serving him some tea or sake. 2) Perhaps, Thorn and Iyasu in a kissing embrace in the hot springs, towels on (of course ^^;.), with snow falling around them? 3) Whatever floats your boat ^^.
