Lyra & Antares

Lyra & Antares

I posted sketches of Meredith and Henry before, and now that these two Startouch had two chapters dedicated to them, I think it's time to finally show what I (roughly) have in mind for them!

Ironically, while I'm posting these after Merry & Henry, I did draw these sketches first-

Lyra was actually the first sketch I made for both a full-body design as well as generally the first character of Wayward who I drew at all. I don't know if I'll ever find her first sketch, but if I do, I'll post that one too- although design wise, nothing much changed.

You can't see it on the picture, but she actually has a whip!

This is Antares, who is, fittingly enough with him being Lyra's boyfriend, the second character I drew both in full-body and generally. Once again, if I find the original drawing I'll post it alongside Lyra's. Once again, it's mostly the same design as he has now.

Yes, his staff is made to look like a bird. I didn't originally plan on it looking like that- but ended up keeping the sketch like that because... well, it sort of fit with my other notes on him.

Lyra and Antares are, in fact, a couple. While they aren't married, they do have matching horn-rings on opposite sides of their horns.

Whereas Lyra's star-mark actually is star-shaped (but hidden by her clothes), Antares' looks like a simple rhombus. While Lyra has silver skin and blue stars, Antares has onyx skin and red-orange stars. Lyra's hair fades from a dark midnight blue to white, while Antares has rust-red colored hair that fades to a sort of glowing orange.

Startouch Elves are mostly nocturnal due to their connection to the stars, but are capable of adapting to other sleep-schedules.

Startouch Poem

Once upon a time, the Stars shone bright. Yet what of their demise?

The Stars all bright but one, always frowned upon.

Once upon a time, the Stars cried "Eternal Night". Where does the Dark One hide?

The Stars all frightened but the Delighted One.

The Great Ones fade to ash and dust. Yet the Dark One shines in dying light. 

Once upon a time, the Stars flickered light. Why did they hide?

Startouch Elves are surprisingly expressive when it comes to body language. The way their stars flicker, fade, flare and dim can mean tons of different things.

Startouch Elves can sense primal energy if exposed to larger quantities. Depending on environment, amount and source, it varies how well they can tell which Arcanum they are sensing.
