Centaur


Centaurs are a noble race of beast-men who, as in their appearance, straddle a line between humanity and animal savagery. Their trust is hard to earn; their wrath is cheap indeed!

Sorry for the lateness of this! Busy work and busy weekends make Joe a tired boy. Also apologies for the boobs on display here, I just felt like 99% of the fantasy centaurs I see are bare-chested, muscled males and I felt like switching up the gender - the result is something like Walt Disney's (planned) topless centaurs for Fantasia meets Merle from Escaflowne or some other borderline-furry catgirl cheesecake from my youth. I'm not much fond of furry art (to put it lightly), but for some reason centaurs and mermaids seem to avoid my distaste.

In any case, I've been looking at a lot of drawings of girls lately (Chris Sanders, Alex Ahad) and I felt like trying my hand at a pretty girl - I think the hair is a little boring, but I like the face and the rest of it. Maybe I'll change up the hairstyle later - for now, I'll just post it. Feel free to berate me in the comments for my possible idle sexism / corruption of America's youth etc etc. :)

PS be sure to look at it full-size! I might put up some detail images tomorrow.

  1. I'm pretty sure the act of a man drawing boobs can't be inherently sexist. Looks sweet though. I am still jelly of your use of colour. Her boobs are a specific shape that you see in reality but that nobody ever really draws, which is nice too.

    1. Yeah, but I'm conscious of it coming across as a little gratuitous. I guess I tried to think about it more in the style of those tribal african women that don't really wear anything except jewellery on their upper half, not so much exhibitionistic as cultural.
