This one was done quite a while back in openCanvas by my dear Aussie amigo,  panchi-tiger. Panch has always been good at making things sexy, and he gave the treatment to my character, letting a happy hello be accompanied with a bit of de-shirting. I can't seem to find the version that's colored and shows what's going on past the collar there, sadly, but maybe I'll manage to locate it one of these days and indulge your desires.

One of the things I love about having Terra as my character is that he's a canvas in and of himself. Without too many fixed traits, artists have a lot of room to work with, and can let their creativity and style dictate things more than you might see with other characters. In this piece, for example, Panch took Terra's hair color scheme and made it more gradual and subtle, reflecting something closer to the way natural hair color can shift (even if it's generally not to blue!). This was also a piece with Terra on the more muscular side--a pattern which would eventually become more "canon," as you'll see as this course in the History of Terra proceeds.

I do miss Panch, though. Haven't heard from him in a while, and still haven't gotten to meet him. It was gonna happen at AC one year, but then Customs and the TSA got involved and it was a huge snafu and he ended up getting sent back to Australia. Fail, government! I, for one, was definitely in favor of Panchi getting to enter the country--aren't you supposed to represent my wishes?
Harrumph.

Anyhow, it wasn't long after this that Terra had another "quantum shift" (to be punny about it) towards his next overall look, and from there there wouldn't be any turning back...
