I understand that I should be looking at the image as a whole, but I really wanted to make this about your main subject.
Taking the centaur and putting a such a strong Norse bent on it was an amazing idea. I love the eight legs, its such a great reference to Sleipnir!
Anatomically having an eight legged horse is such a foreign and difficult notion to me. I've seen them done, some times well but more often then not it feels like a beast with additional limbs tacked on as an after thought. In this instance, I feel like all eight legs are posed and placed well. I certainly look at the image and think to myself, these belong here. Now add to that already tough sell, the sapien torso of a man/giant and what a challenge!
If I had any creative advice for you, it's minimal. I think that making the twisted horns the same color as the hooves would make a little bit more sense (but that's a nitpick preference on my part)
Overall, I feel like your Jotnir (Joten and Sleipnir combined) is a fantastic creature. I can honestly say that I would love to see more Norse influenced takes on traditionally Greek mythology akin to what you've done here. Really, I can't say enough how impressive I find this piece in both concept and execution. Very well done!

Cool artwork, only the head/torso reminds me of the world of warcraft race Draenai

I love how you drew Sleipnir part of his body. The cave itself is incredibly beautiful.

Very nice, the original is absolutely fantastic. Normally you don't see six legged centaurs, the last that I saw was in Odin in the Final Fantasy games.

It makes me think of a fusion between Odin, his horse Sleipnir and a frost giant (all are from Nordic mythology).
I really like the horse part, feel really powerfull and dynamic.

Thanks! It's actually what it's supposed to be: a giant centaur with a Sleipnir body and a frost giant torso

Fantastic work! I can't belive there aren't any comments yet.
The centaur looks great, the scene dynamic from this angle. You spent lots of attention to the details, which I personally love.

You're absolutely right, that's one of my major problems (stiffness). Thank you!
