RE-POST FROM FUR AFFINITY.

I noticed a lack of centaurs in my character repertoire so he was born.


Pyry is a Finnish male name and on its own it doesn't really mean anything but you can turn it into a verb "pyryttää" which then can be used when speaking of certain kind of snowfall. I can't explain what kinda snowfall but you get the idea.
Ukonpoika is directly translated as "son of Ukko" and there you get his father's name. Ukko is a very old Finnish name and it's also the name of the god of thunder and chief deity of the old pantheistic religion in Finland before Christianity came along and... Okay, I'll stop here or I'll get hate. :I

Pyry is supposedly based on a trotter type Finnhorse but I'm sure it's not very obvious because drawing horses isn't my strongest trait. They're fun to draw, though.
The color is trying to be dark/liver chestnut but I don't know if it's dark enough. It was lighter in my initial color ref.
Flaxen hair and tail, yay! Supposedly quite common for Finnhorses and I just had to exploit it because I like CONTRASTS.


...Well.
That's about it.
