Description
Creature of the Week, weekly mini-contestFairy hunter.
I guess this is a good excuse to upload something at least each week since I'm no longer uploading almost daily the way I used to.
(I'm still techically mass producing stuff but I'm planning to upload them on single massive images instead)
So yea, this thing. Well it's pretty self explainatory. If fact there is text and stuff there so..
There isn't any rule agains explainatory book-like images with text and several pictures in the contest rules. So I guess there won't be any problem. Just wanted to make something different from my monster siting there on a pretty picture.

A very interesting and horrifying idea!
I half-expect to see one of these trot across the screen in Hellboy 3.
Your designs resemble those of Guillermo del Toro, which is to say you're in good company

Do you think that a flying insect could evolve into something like a western dragon?

I think that might be too big a leap for an insect. It'd be more likely that they'd evolve from small gliding lizards, assuming they could develop the proper bones, joints, and muscles needed for powered flight. And the closest they could possibly come to a breath-weapon would be a chemical spray, either a type of venom or acidic bodily fluid.

Esta genial!, me encanta no solo el dibujo, sino el concepto.

Me recuerda al estilo de las "hadas de los dientes" de la pelΓcula Hellboy II.

Dude, that's the best explanation I've seen so far. And a very clever and original one, for sure. Loved the fairy.

Awesome job! Really like your realistic take on the Centaur. Very unique and scary at the same time. I like the details, description and design.

Interesting take on a mythological creature. It is quite possible to see how this being could be described as half-human, half-horse. Very original.

Wow. I'l never look at one of these the same way again. That totally opens up some new possibilities... thank you for that, wow. O.O i love your work, it's so new and original looking.... XD

that is the absolute coolest idea i've ever seen O.O I love it's face - looks like it's always grinning.

Wow, I never considered the praying mantis could be such a fantastic model for a much more sinister looking yet awesome centaur. Brilliant work!

Cool!
Were you inspired by the Tooth Fairies in Hellboy 2?

I love this one, it's fascinating. I love how the centaur is really neither man nor horse but insect. And the evolution chart at the top is so great. Awesome way to explain it

This might be my favourite concept of all time.

love it, are you continuing to draw more 'fairies'? it looks amazing!

Excellent rendition of centaurs -- certainly explains how no vertebrate has 6 limbs (excluding star fish and the ilk).

IΒ΄m on Tvtropes? how so?
Oh cool haha, thanks!

I don't remember. Probably "our centaurs are different", though.

amazing, it makes perfect sense that they would come from bugs, and mantises no less, since no vertebrate ever has 6 limbs

Woah! Never heard before the word "Neovertebrates". Cool!

Probably because I made it up.

Much as I like the centaurs, the really inspirational bit here is the (para-)insectoid fairy. It's a good way to have a humanoid creature with insect wings. Smart pick on the lepidopterans, to get the upright body posture. Good way to create a centaur too for that matter, mantids having the four-legs-and-two-arms thing going for them.

OMG, you are right. I never thought about it before but praying mantises DO look a lot like centaurs. Kudos for the original concept and portraying it in a realistic manner
