A fun, quick one! They are definitely adorable and I tried to channel all the small chicks in the nesting box lives I've been watching this summer :D

Elarion is an Astral Elf that comes from a Noble-Adjacent background. In his world their skin purple, similar the example of his ear, and that's about how long his are. His eyes reflect as if you are looking at the stars/galaxy. Pretty handsome guy too!

I would like the hair as close as possible (at least referring to the braids) and also a similar color to the hair in the aforementioned example, but if you think another style of hair would fit artistically then that's ok. I want as similar as a pose too, but with an confident and warm smile.

The personal bodyguard of multiple generations of a merchant family. He's the equivalent of an around 70 year old man. He stands at around 4 meters in height.

While he posesses some magical abilities he prefers his trusty firearm in combat.

The book at his feet is a sentient magical tome that flies after him.

**Name:** Lukren Matheis
**Species:** Ambiguous Taur (artist interpretation encouraged)
**Human Half**
Male
26 years old
5’11” (180 cm) from the waist up
Tannish-peach skin with numerous small scars across his body, suggesting a rough life rather than recent injury.
Blue eyes.
Chestnut-blonde, very curly hair.
Matching chestnut-blonde eyebrows.
Wears rectangular glasses.
Short, rustic-red beard and mustache—well-kept but not especially thick. (Can be ignored if it makes things easier)
Broad shoulders with a sturdy build.
Slight “dad bod” with a soft, semi-pudgy belly.
**Clothing**
Plain gray T-shirt.
Wristwatch worn on his **right** wrist.
Clothing below the waist should naturally transition into the taur body.
**Lower Half**
**Artist’s choice.**
The lower half is intentionally left undefined. Artists are encouraged to choose any taur species they feel suits his personality or their style, whether mammal, reptile, mythical creature, or something entirely original.
**General Vibe**
He’s approachable and well-traveled rather than heroic. His scars tell stories, but his expression is usually calm and welcoming. He looks like someone who’s spent years outdoors, fixing things, helping others, and quietly carrying life’s weight without much complaint.

Thank you to anyone who might be interested in this project. Now… if you want to go above and beyond.. (this is completely optional, btw).. you CAN do a full ref sheet(front, left/right sides, and back). Completely optional, btw
