Description
Edit (13.09.2010): Finally sat down and reworked the parts that were bugging me as horribly terribly wrong with this picture. That includes level adjustment, arms, legs and some lighting/composition related knick-knacks all over the place. If you'd like to compare it with the previous version, it can be found here .***
Something from a bit ago. Mister centaur was merrily prancing across the giant curvy plant trails when suddenly he spotted a demonic bunny and promptly freaked out as is appropriate in such a situation.
That's a snow owl design on his helmet.
Corel Painter 9, Wacom Intuos 3.

Very cool! His torso is especially well drawn! He seems to have a saddle - wonder if he'd take well to someone riding him?

Wow, that's absolutely brilliant! Honestly, there's nothing about it that I think anyone could do better!
I really love it, I really really do! I wanna jump on him xD

What kind of animal is the bottom half supposed to be?

No existing species. This particular type of centaurs would inhabit a giant network of plant trails, so the feet and such are more suitable for holding onto those.

He's really excellent!
I'd like to ask, if I may use this artwork as an illustration for my free card game licensed under creative commons? See my profile, if you'd like to see some examples.

*instant fave* this is pretty awesome, good variation from most centaurs I've seen.

I love his feet and the helmet. Would love to see who mounts him. They would have to be even awe inspiring than he.

this is amazing work. it looks like it could be a prog rock album cover from the 70's.

This is absolutely incredible. But I don't know how no one 's asked you yet... if he has a saddle, who or what rides in it?!

Thanks! It is for the clergymen of the Caterpillar all the centaurs worship around there when they need to make longer travels. Also a convenient thing to attach stuff like pouches and blankets to.

After spending several lectures in Anatomy back at the vat university this comes out kind of creepy, which doesn't mean i can tear my eyes away from the beauty of it. Ahhh, the creatures you do...!

Cool, looks like he can be a perfect Pandorian as a hexapod.

The mans body and muscles are incredible!

Wow. A very unique take on what is usually an over-used fairy-tale (or mythology) creature.

This is a fantastic take on the centaur character! I can't tell if he is a good guy or a bad guy and in my book that means great character development.
one thing though, I can't spot a single difference between the before and after shots, except maybe the increase in color and dynamic. I really enjoy looking at before and after shots, it teaches me a lot. So I am now going to ask: What did you change?

Thanks a lot! The most notable change is on the arms, the one to our right got the upper arm reworked entirely 'cause it was just horribly wrong. The one on our left got the elbow part rotated around after a lot of exercise in front of the mirror, plus some minor adjustments on the hand, shoulder area and such.
The front legs also got reworked somewhat, particularly the straightened leg to make the lower part of it more natural looking and less stick-like, and the fingers bent in a less stiff manner and more sinking into the moss.
Other than that it was adjustments on the musculature on the upper hind leg, small nubs added to the hind paw which is viewed in profile to suggest rudimentary fingers, lighting adjustments along the torso to show better muscle tonus and small knick-knacks on the hair, clouds, spear, flag, grass and bunny.
Mostly a lot of extremely small things that end up making a lot of difference in the flow of the image. It's maddening how much of a change some tiny nuances can mean.

Thanks that really helps a lot!

Absolutely stunning! I love the lighting.

Ah yes I see the colors are bolder now and you upped the contrast. Very nice. There's something about the flag though that puts me off. Not enough shadows possibly or maybe it's because the whole thing is very saturated without any desaturated or faded areas. Not quite sure...
