    Wow... the detail in this one is stunning

    I know you like feedback, but I’m somewhat at a loss here

    I’m kind of obsessive and (unfortunately) a bit opinionated when it comes to centaurs; they are my absolute fave’ mythical creature.

    The individual anatomies involved are, far as I can tell, rock solid.

    The overall body symmetry strikes me as just a hint off:

    The human portion seems a little large for the equine body and consequently the lower legs and hoofs appear disproportionately thin/small.

    Honestly overall the piece looks fantastic (that’s why I faved it) and I’m probably splitting technical hairs.

      I appreciate your comments. As for the anotomy proportions, you could be right. I like centaurs but always have problems being happy with the proportions. Often in others centaur pictures I find the human part way to small and rarely to large. In this case, becuase of the pose I think it works, but if he were standing straight I think maybe the human part is to large...but overall I was happy with this and the original sold fast and prints have sold well!

        As I was writing the comment I admittedly did a double take to be sure the foreshortening wasn’t throwing me off.

        Speaking of prints, what size are they and what’s the price range? – so I can add one to my list of things I would like to get but don’t likely have the funds for at the moment.
