Thanks for your critique; I appreciate the feedback. I'm glad you think I captured her likeness well enough. Hands are still quite a struggle as always! I'll keep your points in mind for future images for sure!

Thanks a bunch for your feedback! I definitely agree that the arms/hands are probably the weakest part of the piece. Especially hands are still very tricky for me to get down at all. Tilting her torso back a bit more could lead to a more dynamic pose, but it might also make her seem too imbalanced. I should've probably thumbnailed that a bit more in the rough sketching phase to make sure though; thanks for the advice!

Hi! I'm from Project Comment!
As someone who has watched the film before, I can say that this is really funny and ironic, considering that until the end of the movie, Megara and Pegasus and Phil don't get along very well and are constantly fighting over Hercules's attention and time. So the whole concept of Megara becoming half equine herself is just hilarious. I'm impressed with the line art skill in this piece! It's very neat and beautiful to look at. It looks like something that would go into a coloring book. In addition, you've capture d the position of the equine half and the expression of Meg's face very well. Her reaction is so accurate according to her character.Β
One thing I would watch out for (And I know this is a sketch, but just to keep in mind when doing the final piece) would be the hands, specifically. To me, they look kind of stiff. Hands are more fleshy and they have a lot of features to them, which is a little hard to tell with Meg's left hand. Maybe in your final piece you could add some more fleshy features to the hands and make them look less stiff, it would definitely add to this piece!
Other than that, I think you did an awesome job with this and I'm excited to see the colored version!Β

You're definitely right; hands are still very much a weak point for me as an artist. In general the arms and hands in this piece are a bit lacking looking back, so I definitely agree with your observation. And thank you very much for your kind words as well; I appreciate you taking the time to write this comment for me!

Hello, I am from ProjectComment !
This is an interesting piece, but see what I don't really like is how her dress looks like it's leafing away? The centaur part also sorta looks like its eating her-although thats just my opinion; maybe you could colour it?
I love the anatomy and how you got so close to the old Disney style as well. Being a Disney nerd, this is literally one of my favourite pieces-as said before though, I'd love to see it in colour ^^

Thank you for your comment! The intention was to show that her growing lower body ripped through her dress somewhat. I'm glad you like the general style of the image. At the moment I have no intention of linearting and coloring this image, it was mostly meant as a warmup sketch. Thank you for your kind words though! ^^

Hey there, I'm from the ProjectComment Β
I want to start with that's a very unique transformation you did! I love the idea of taking a cartoon character and changing them but still staying within the style. Well done. The lines are very smooth, and the few 'pencil' marks give it good detail. The clothing seems a little off to me, around the 'waist'. And the hands to arms are not quite proportional and the hands could use a little bit of work (though you are on to a great start!). The tattered clothing looks great. Keep this up, you are doing great!

Thank you very much for your feedback; it's very helpful. I agree with your points; though could you perhaps elaborate what looks off about her clothes around her waist? More specificity would be very helpful. Thank you!

Afternoon!! From the contest (I sincerely apologize if it feels like we're spamming you, but the group is trying to get you and a few other people some more notoriety).
As for the picture at hand, I LOVE Hercules!!! I remember as a kid, my sister recorded this whole thing on VHS (Yes, I'm an old man, I know) and I loved Meg, I loved her sarcastic and disinterested, yet ultimately kind heart that was tucked inside of it's shell like a frightened turtle.Β
You say that you're not experienced in drawing centaurs, but I think you did a fine job. The hooves/lower horse-like half of her body really do look like the classic design of a centaur, though I think the tail is a bit off, appearing a little too....bushy/poofy if that's the right word. The design is on point and I love Meg's surprised and a bit worried expression which goes into her fear of flying/horses (Pre-Relationship with Hercules), so kudos to a good design and keeping the character you're drawing in character.

No need to apologize, I'm very happy to be getting a lot of comments and feedback!
I'm glad you like Hercules, I remember when it was released. I watched it a ton.Β
Thank you very much for your feedback and pointers. The tail I intended to mirror the structure and poofyness of Meg's own hairstyle, though judging from the comments I didn't really display that properly. I'm glad you enjoyed my drawing and thank you for your kind words!

I think you did great on it! It has a lot of details and it looks just like meg from the movie. I think the transformation reminds me of if the center from the movie and meg had a kid. She looks scared af

Hello, I am also from Project Comment. uwu
Although I haven't watched the Disney movie this came from, I believe you drew her beautifully! The lines look very crisp, and the proportions are excellent.Β
I love her expression! She is just--words can't explain how adorable the face is!
I don't think horse bellies are thatΒ round, but it is overall very good.

Thank you very much for your comment! I really appreciate your kind words. You're definitely right about the horse belly; of course it varies a bit from horse to horse, but I definitely over exaggerated it quite a bit. I'll be sure to keep that in mind for future drawings!

Hi, I'm from project comment! This is super neat, and very clean, especially in terms of of the line work.Β The line weight is very advanced, and looks good as well.
The biggest flaw I noticed is the barrel and chest of the horse.Β To my knowledge, horses don't have that shape of underbelly, usually it is round but smooth (picture an actual barrel).Β Their bellybutton isn't that pronounced. similarly, the chest is a little chubby, which would be fine for a fat horse, but considering that it is Meg, the horse part would probably be leaner.Β Also, that first part of the foreleg is usually less visible, the top part of the legs kind of blend into the shoulder/chest muscles, so they wouldn't look like an upper arm or leg even.
Speaking of arm, the upper arm on the left is just a tiny bit too short, which isn't that noticeable unless you scour the anatomy.Β The picture does have a pretty good flow line though, and as a whole is really nice.
Overall, this is a really great picture, with the critiques being nit picky at best.Β I hope this helps

Thank you very much for your comment! Your points about the anatomy are definitely on point. I'm less familiar with drawing horses, so I really appreciate the help! I'll be sure to keep your comment in mind in the future!
And thank you of course as well for your compliments!Β

Hi I'm from Project Comment and here's my criticism with this pic. It's well made, but I really hate the whole Taur Centaur thing, it just looks weird to me, and it doesn't help that I'm not a fan of horses at all, but I will give you this, you did a really good job drawing it, I just don't like the content you made, I like the work that went into it, just not what I see.
