Description
A commissioned picture for featuring their centaur heroine, Sarah, and my own characters, a followup to , which itself is a followup to (And a few more steps beyond that. I love when a picture inspires a chain like this!) Sarah finds herself transported the the fantastical world of Kroashent, but is quickly caught off guard by the strange and magical world, captured and transformed into a centauress, and meets some familiar faces. I had a lot of fun working on this piece and pushing myself further artistically.This image gave me a lot of opportunity to try new things and go a bit more into the story behind a picture that I normally am able to do with a one-shot TF. I wanted to try something new with the piece, and added some vignettes around the central image of various scenes from Sarah's story, which you can read in the attached link. I'm not sure that they gave quite the effect I was looking for, but I think that individually, they all came out quite nicely! Let me know what you think!
Companion Story: Sarah and the Centaur Trap Sarah blinked slowly, the golden sunlight filtering through the trees above her and stinging her eyes. She found herself lying down on a patch of dirt and moss, the nearby sound of water running over loose stones growing more clear as her thoughts came into focus. She mumbled incoherently before her eyes shot open once more. She sat up, disoriented, looking around in a blind panic, not recognizing her surroundings. She was on the edge of a brook, towering trees of red and gold leaves surrounding her. Her purple sweatshirt stopped a noticeable chill as the win rustled around her, leaves floating through the air before landing on the dirt or continuing their journey along the watery path the brook was taking. Sarah swung her head back and forth, desperate for a familiar landmark. This was not where she had been moments before. She fell to her knees, legs splayed out helplessly as her pulse raced and her breathing. Nothing was familiar. She took a deep breath, hugging h

Though your art lacks a little bit in technique, it still tells a good story. Let me start off by saying that the horse anatomy is great and the coloring on them is beautiful except for the left horse's right leg. It's a little improperly proportioned. Let me also say that the um... "bosoms" are a little unrealistic. I know boobs are really hard to draw, (I suck at them myself,) but I'll still give you some tips. The size is inconsistent int the art, and in the armor, they should be compressed more. (on the pink-clothed one) Although, the foreheads on the characters are a little small, I commend you for having proper facial proportions. Now I'll go picture by picture.
Top left: The shadow on the boobs wouldn't ever be on the top of it unless the light is from below. Good job keeping accurate "bounce" physics with her "jump."
Bottom Left:The face on the girl is almost perfect, and so is the hair. Something about it is Miyazaki-like! I love it... something bad happened with the boy, though... I.. don't know what to say but I THINK that the boy's eyes are a little too far apart.
Bottom Right:The boobs are inconsistent and so is the design of the armor. I would also make the chin a little wider.
Top Right:The boobs on the right figure are just... eh... the sizes are completely weird since the far breast is larger than the closer breast. Also, the left figure suffers from the same affliction as the bottom left's boy. The boobs are also too high up.
Top Middle: The side boob on the green girl is freaking amazing and the anatomy (aside from the facial profile (which are hard to do)) is great. <3 Once again, though, the pink hoodie girl suffers from squished boob.
Middle:As a total piece, the anatomy of both figures is near perfect except for the right figure's eyes (once again too far apart.)
I freaking love this piece in total, and the composition is wonderful. I enjoyed seeing it!

Though I'm "new" to this "Minotaur art", I believe I can still fairly judge this piece of art.
The art piece very good and easy on the eyes. The colors follow a decent pallet, and the shading is perfection. There are obviously a few mistakes. No one is perfect.
The style is decent, but it has its flaws. On some parts, the eyes seem to be too far apart. The facial feature of the picture on the top left seems odd. The anatomy is also off on some pictures, particularly on the breasts of the top right picture. Otherwise, still pretty good.
Other than that, this piece of art is magnificent! The style, while odd at times, is visually interesting and something anyone can get used to. The shading is a part that I am very astonished by. For a cartoony style, the shading is absolutely glorious.
So the picture is great, but just everything ever created by mankind, it has its faults.

This is a cool and awesome art! I love the details and designs of the characters, especially the centaur one! You're art style is cute and adorable, the eyes are pretty and cute, I love the coloring of every character, and the shading and lighting as well. The background is beautiful and simple, however you may need to improve your face drawing skills and its proportion, try to improve more on how to put the facial details of the characters. But anyways, all in all you did a great job in this artwork, I hope this helps you to improve more, have a nice day!

I'll start off with saying that your art is gorgeous. The colours are nice and bright and the characters are very expressive. Oh and how could I forget your perfect horse anatomy. It's truly astonishing how well you got that; I cannot draw horses even with a reference sheet.
However, your characters seem to be suffering from anatomy problems. For example, the jaw seems to be nonresistant on the very top right picture and the breasts on almost all of your characters seem to defy gravity. Also, your lighting seems to always be right in-front of the character, I'm not saying this is impossible, but some variety would be nice. The drawing in the middle seems like there are multiple light sources, this is very rare in nature, which seems to be where most of these drawings are placed in.
There are only two main subjects you need to improve upon; your shading and your anatomy. Besides that, this painting is absolutely stunning. To fix the anatomy problems, I'd try to draw realistically for a while to gain the main concept of the human anatomy. If you wish not to do that, you could use reference sheets for your drawings or even take pictures of you performing the action yourself and 'copy' it for your picture (though this might be difficult because you have half-horse people).
I hope this helps you wish your art journey, good luck!

More centaur artwork! An amazing sight! Colors are wonderful, not to mention bright!
The armor is shiny, the horse halves are a gem. The character designs are perfect for them!
Wow! Amazing! And wonderful as can be. This is one of your best, take it from me.
I can see how they like it, and it clearly, it shows, how you designed their faces with horse ears and a human nose!
The designs of the armor reminds me of a Warcraft game, which all the more appealing, if not just the same.
There's more I can say if I have the time, but I'd rather write this critique in rhyme.

Hiiii!!~ From Project Comment here!!~ (つ >ω●)つ
Just wanted to start off with how I liked all the different scenes you drew for the characters!!~ y（^ヮ^）y It really shows the dynamics of their relationship! Your colors are amazing and I think the horse anatomy is drawn pretty well!! That centerpiece pose looks wonderful! And I adore the clothes you drew!! I'm really uncreative with my own clothing designs ^^'
One thing I think you could improve on is your linework a bit. As it is now, it looks a bit rough and jagged, but having neat lineart is something that comes with practice!~ Also, I think adding variety to your lineweight would also adds lots more character in your piece! Some thicker and thinner lines here and there would be a great detail.
Another thing I think you can work on is human anatomy. I often dispair at anatomy to (Ｔ▽Ｔ) but having the correct anatomy really improves quality! For example, your hands could use a little bit of work. There should be some visible shape to the fingers, with 3 knuckles and all. Right now, the hands look a bit like one big stub. There are plenty of tutorials for hands out there!~ It might help you improve if you check some out~ Another thing is with the face shape...Sometimes, your characters have too long chins and sometimes they look alright. I think you could work on the consistency of your face shape~ Same thing with your eyes. It's alright a lot of a times, but the eyes are spaced to far apart in some scenes (ex: bottom left scene). Keep in mind that the spacing between eyes is as big as an eye. So pretend that there is a third eye right in the middle of your eyes when drawing (\(^v^)/) Also, this is a bit minor, but the breasts of the girl in the blue (top right) are heavily lopsided. Just something I think you could take more care on in your drawing process!~ Finally, I think you're off to a great start with shadingl! There are places though I feel like the shading contrasts too much with the main color. Like in the left scene (where your OC is looking frightened >.<) the shadow under her breasts are really noticeable. Perhaps if you softened the edges a bit, it would cleaner?
Overall, I really liked your piece!! It has lots of character and potential!! I'm looking forward to your future deviations!!~ (ง •̀ω•́)ง✧

That is cool! You have a way to go with the technique, but you are already good at expressing emotions, good luck!

Thank you so much! I am glad the expressions came out well and will continue to practice my anatomy and technique!

I wouldn't be able to keep living if I were TF'd. Either I'd end it, or I'd seek out and kill/destroy whatever person/thing is responsible.

One of the things I try to do with my transformation stories is examine how a character would react to their transformation. I try to keep things hopeful though, with the character overcoming the obstacle that their transformation places on them. In Sarah's case, her character arc is breaking past the initial trauma and shock to make things work for her and coming to terms with her curse, rather than giving up fully.

I have a sort of fanfic character of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, named Amos(originally Zack) where the character has full memory of his human self right from the get-go, and feels completely alienated, both by his own body, and by everything in the new world he is in. Ultimately, he makes himself a hooded cassock and mask to hide his body(he has been turned into a gardevoir), make claw-gloves out of mythril and the leather of a Xerneas he defeated, and, eventually, even gets a Homestuck-style god-tier and eradicates the world he blames on the loss of his humanity, along with the creature actually responsible for it.
Afterwards, he prowls the multiverse, having given himself the impossible task of eradicating every singular instance of a non-human(or sometimes human, if it's really bad) force messing with someone's humanity(even if it's consensual), killing a human, or just general doing something bad to a human. He also kills creatures that attempt a romantic relationship with a human, and in some cases, might even kill the human, as he would think of them as having ruined their own humanity. He also 'puts down' TF victims. He thinks he's doing good, as he is trying to prevent the pain that he was forced into, which is why he doesn't resent the people he saves, and even heals people using the healing properties of his gloves, when he can. However, he sometimes ignores morality, and always sides with humans, first and foremost. So basically, he is a sort of 'human supremacist.'
He is also accompanied by an alternate-universe version of himself, who managed to get rid of his pokemon body by using dark magic to turn himself into a shadow-version of his human self. He's a lot chiller than Amos, but is also partially emotionless. He's stronger than, and about as quick as Amos, along with knowing a lot of dark magic rituals that Amos doesn't know, but can't compete with Amos when Amos turns into the form that the aforementioned god-tier permits.
They still run into a lot of creatures they can't fight. Among them are the stronger gods, the demon king Morgenstern, and, of course, The Stellar Ones, who are basically the pinnacle beings of the multiverse.
Of course, this comment probably makes no sense if you aren't at least somewhat familiar with Homestuck, and don't know the basic idea of PMD.

Not really familiar with Mystery Dungeon beyond the basic premise, and have almost no knowledge of Homestuck beyond its existence. The character you described could have some interesting potential.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
For anyone who does know Homestuck, his god tier is a Knight of Rage. For those who don't, a Knight of Rage is someone who has the power to use emotion as a weapon.
For Amos, this manifests as an alternate form in which he is a distorted version of his human self. He becomes this when he gets unimaginably angry, even by his standards. He loses his psychic powers in this form, but can now use his built up rage as an energy based attack, or form weapons or claws out of it. All his normal clothing is temporarily phased out of existence by his body, and he wears his god-tier specific outfit. Ironically, he isn't actually angry in his rage form, as all his anger has been converted into energy, but he also forgets his usual moral code, and kinda just likes to blow stuff up in this form, despite having a really serene feeling wash over him.
He only has a vague memory of what has happened afterwards, like someone after a night of getting really wasted, but he knows enough that he tries to keep his anger at a minimum.
He hate his rage form because, in it, he can hurt innocent human beings, because he doesn't very well accomplish the goals of his crusade, and its almost-but-not-quite human form mocks his greatest desire: to be human again.
In his ordinary form, he can fight most things weaker than a god, but could even take down a weak god if he really tried hard.
In his rage form, gods are free game, and he is more likely to be attacked by one, as his aimless destruction isn't what you'd want if you were a ruling deity.

Ooh interesting I wonder if it’s canon or not? (Though I prefer human just my thought)
Also does she have knowledge from the outside world?
She seemed to have coped well, hm maybe all of them
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I am not treating this as canon for a few reasons, but it wouldn't be far off if it was. How much knowledge Sarah has of her own world is not really for me to say, but she does adapt well to her circumstances.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I see. I guess I could go diving for her oc info in the owner’s gallery.
She really does considering her circumstances. Dropped in a new world presumably hundreds of years ago not to mention in a completely different world. Then get kidnapped and transformed into a mythical creature..... seems normal XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. Considering the circumstances, she does very well in handling it indeed.
