OMG!!! This Hippalectryon/Hippalektryon is BEAUTIFUL!!! I really like this! It's among my favorite pics out there of a hippalectryon/hippalektryon! Very good work! This is going in my faves!
I would LOVE to use this in a mythical creature wiki (a website dedicated to discussing and teaching about mythical creatures!) May I please borrow it, as long as I give you credit for it? Please? PLEASE?

I've never heard of this one. Why don't they put that in a film or something? I'm so tried of dragons, we need rooster-horse NOW!
Awesome coloring on the body and the mane looks fine, just very windblown.

hehe thank you
YEAH! XD dragons are awesome but it would be cooler to see other creatures
π: 0 β©: 1
You're welcome
The reason I said I was tried of dragons is percisely because every fantasy book/movie/cartoon has the usual dragon in it, as though dragons are the only fantasy creature ever. They really starting to be overused to the point where I would love to see other mythical creatures take the same place that dragons take. Rooster-horse gets my vote.

Omg a rooster-horse! It's like a composite creature made of our favorite animals. XD
This is really awesome, and so well drawn and colored. I don't notice anything wrong with the mane, though. It just looks windblown to me.

hehe you've got a point ^^ thank you!

Hehe. To quote wikipedia: "The term "hippalectryon", also transcribed "hippalektryon", comes directly from Ancient Greek "αΌ±ΟΟαλΡκΟΟΟ
ΟΞ½", a compound word that comprises αΌ΅ΟΟΞΏΟ (hΓppos, "horse"), and αΌΞ»Ξ΅ΞΊΟΟΟ
ΟΞ½ (alektryα»n, "rooster")." So it's literally a rooster-horse.
