RULES & GUIDELINES

Status: Closed

Ok, rules time.

To be honest, this is the first time I've set up an art request thread, so bear with me if I left out anything important.

1. First and foremost, please follow all Gaian Rules and all that.
2. Post all samples & prices here in this thread (no auctions please, dont have unlimited funds)
3. Do NOT PM me any samples.
4. Please do not draw me without my permission and expect payment. However, freebies are much loved.
5. I will be very picky about who I choose, as I have very, VERY limited funds. That does not mean your art sucks, it's just that I cannot afford to pay for every single artist.
6. I will post here in the thread whether I will commish you or not, so check back!
7. If the art ends up far worse in quality compared to your samples, I have the right to reject it.
8. Same goes if its completely not Thornshield/Burzurk, and merely a drawing of your own whim.
9. Other than that, have fun! Stay and chat! mrgreen

APPEARANCE & HISTORY

The following is an abridged version of his profile. If you're interested in reading the full profile, please click here.

History: Born and raised to be a knight, his world was besieged by demons from another plane of existence due to a planar-transportation project gone wrong. These demons were immune to ordinary weapons and only enchanted/magical ones worked against them. However, after killing a demon, the weapon would weaken or even shatter.

As Thorn had studied materials and smithing during his training, he was sent on a quest along with several comrades to find new materials from other planes of existence to forge weapons that were effective and durable. This was accomplished by a Scepter of Shifting, one of the relics of the race that conducted the failed project.

To cut a long story short, he succeeded, and finally, the demons were driven out. But this victory was not as sweet as it should be, for it took a very long time (more than a century). How Thorn lived throughout those years was a mystery to most, but some say it was due to his frequent shifts from plane to plane, time was unable to catch up to him and thus causing him to age very slowly. (and no, there was no sudden aging when he returned to his homeplane, due to reasons I shall not go into).

Grown weary of the war, Thorn now works as a smith, donning his armour only in times of need.

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
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 filled 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.

ARMOUR

The moment you've all been dreading for, that's right...armour. I know how much some artists hate drawing it and I can understand why. Especially since Thorn usually is clad in full plate. That's right, a walking tin can 3nodding

So to make life easier, I drew up a reference for you all (done on Flash and I'm no artist):

User Image

Note: The tabard (cloth thing) is empty, as I would really love it if you could design a suitable pattern for him. You see, despite being a knight and all, Thorn's a fashionable person and often changes tabards xd

Alright, I would really love more pieces of armoured Thorn and it would be great if you could design one for him. Why design one for him? Coz as a smith, he has to test out his creations first.

If you can't however, (or don't want to use the armour above) this link, in particular Silks of the Victor and Rockfleece are good examples. If you're using Silks as the basis, enlargen the shoulder armour, replace the ruffed arms with plate or chain and remove the skirting, adding a belt. For Rockfleece, it should be silver or a dark green. For all sets of armour, a tabard (cloth in front of armour, like those worn by crusaders) can be worn.

Leggings might be hard to imagine, but generally it is either plate or chain mail, with large knee pads and heavy steel boots. For a challenge, try designing a full plate armour set that is bulky and with lots of overlapping plates. Also, he wears gauntlets of some sort to complete the outfit.

Now, if you really cannot draw armour (tell me first k?), I'd rather you draw nobility clothes rather than the smith's one, unless you're planning to do a scene of Thorn at the forge. I have no examples for such clothing, but think medieval fantasy elegance, with favourite colours being Green & Monotone Colours.

WEAPONS

Thorns-Edge is his primary weapon and when entering life-threatening situations, it is the weapon he would inevitably rely on. However, he is proficient in other styles of combat and as mentioned before, would test out all weapons that he makes. However, as a knight, he tries not to rely on ranged weapons like bows, for a true warrior lives and dies by the sword.

Note regarding Thorns-Edge: It is a long sword that is almost 4 feet long from the tip of the blade to the pommel. It can be wielded with one hand or two when force is needed. It is usually sheathed in a scabbard slung behind Thorn's back.

Ideas: Thorn can often be seen entering a battle with several weapons, switching between them depending on the situation or to confuse his opponent.

APPEARANCE & HISTORY

If you're interested in reading Burzurk's full profile, it can be found here.

History: During his quest to search for new forging materials, Thorn faced numerous obstacles and encounters, one leading to the creation of the being known as Burzurk.

After a harrowing experience with a renegade mage bent on destruction, Thorn was unfortunately possessed by a dark curse. The knight was overcome with a maniacal bloodlust causing him to become a killing machine of justice. Over time however, it got worse and he began striking out at anyone that angered him.

User Image

This pic by Onis captured his possession very well:

Finally, after much restraint and help from friends, Thorn managed to meditate and purge the dark being out of his soul. However, it had fused together with part of his soul (mainly the bad parts) and emerged as a separate entity.

This entity called himself Burzurk and seemed to be identical to Thorn in appearance, except with red hair and eyes. In a bewildered state, Burzurk tried to attack Thorn but was unsuccessful and fled the scene. Drained from the meditation and the sudden attack, Thorn who was now cleansed could not stop his 'alter-ego'.

While the knight recovered, Burzurk roamed around the land, fighting anyone he encountered, and pillaging their loot. Eventually, Thorn set out to defeat Burzurk, but as the two were connected by an unseen bond (since they were effectively the same being), neither could defeat the other and the berserker kept on fleeing after their bouts.

And finally, as cliched as it may sound, Burzurk mellowed down after meeting a girl who he fell in love/lust with, and she tamed him somehow. Now he's just a reckless, fight-thirsty wanderer, who often visits Thorn to spar
with him (as the two have accepted each others existence).

User Image

Name: Burzurk
Gender: Male
Age: Shares a physical bond with Thorn, so looks around the same age
Eye colour: Red
Hair colour: Red
Hair style: Often changes as Burzurk tries to look different from Thorn
Height: 6 feet tall
Size: Broad shouldered but more lean than Thorn

Appearance: Burzurk looks somewhat more youthful than Thorn, possibly due to the constant mischevious twinkle in his eyes. His outfits differ each time as he often picks up bits and pieces of the armour/weapon of his defeated opponents.

Key traits: Reckless, mischevious, headstrong & bloodthirsty (to a certain degree)

Extra notes: Like Thorn, Burzurk possesses the ability of aura manipulation but instead of a green aura, Burzurk's resembles a burning flame tinged with dark streaks.

ARMOUR

Burzurk can often be found wearing pieces of armour from various sets, with a penchant for wicked looking spikes or sharp points. Colour doesnt matter, as it often gets stained red with blood sooner of later. However, he doesn't like his movements to be completely restricted, so full plate is usually not his first choice.

WEAPONS

Like his armour, Burzurk is a furious fighter who tosses aside weapons as quickly as he picks them up. Swords, flails, axes, halberds, you name it, he'll use it.

This awesome pic by king ion one shows him donning some twisted armour after slaying several demons twisted
