Reference

Use this page if you’re drawing Tyra now. It describes the current visual reference; a future redesign may supersede it.

Basics

• Species: saurian / theropod-inspired anthro.
• Age: mid-thirties.
• Height: about 2.4 m.
• Mass: roughly 300 kg.
• Build: massive, digitigrade and heavily built, with a substantial balancing tail.
• General read: grounded, weathered, watchful and physically formidable.

For more dimensions, see Me, in numbers.

Body

Very broad shoulders, thick neck and torso, large joints, powerful hips and thighs. The whole frame carries the mass; avoid a narrow human bodybuilder silhouette.

Muscular but not competition-lean, with natural softness through the torso, chest, hips and thighs. The chest is large and heavy but integrated into the broad body rather than paired with a pinched waist.

Legs are digitigrade. Hands and feet are large, with dark claws; the current anatomy uses three main fingers plus a shorter opposable thumb, and three forward toes plus a reduced rear spur.

Head

Short, broad saurian muzzle, deep jaw and forward-set amber / golden eyes.

Tyra has large external ears / pinnae. They are mobile and unmistakably ear-shaped rather than fins or frills.

The current design uses a dark orbital mask and pale rear-swept crest.

Color

Muted moss-green dorsally over warm sandy cream ventrally, with a soft organic transition. The green deepens toward olive around the shoulders, upper arms and crown. Scales are matte rather than glossy or metallic.

Expression

Neutral is usually watchful rather than angry, often with a little weary patience. The useful baseline is experienced, mildly exasperated competence rather than grim stoicism.

She should also support dry amusement, warmth, smug teasing and occasional playful mock menace without reading genuinely hostile.

Wear and scars

Tyra is visibly weathered rather than pristine. Recurring scar areas are the snout / jaw, forearms / hands, torso / flanks and left knee; exact scar geometry is less important than preserving that worn-in quality.
