I love centaurettes since I saw then in Fantasy by Walt Disney.

You captured very well a centaurette essence... nice job!

Thanks, Diegoth !

Yes centaurettes are lovely. To bad they always fall in love with minotaurs don't they lol.

All your "Combined class creatures" are so believable which is magic in itself since they per defenition are unreal.

Thanks, Stormcrow !

I try to put what i know about anatomy in humans and animals to my creatures, perhaps making them more belivable. I want them to function as if they were real.

This centaurette has a face that is a mix of human and horse, its nostrils are big to give this rather large creature enough oxygen, a sketch here:

Absolutely excellent Raimo.

Thanks, Martin ! Though our dear "Epilogue" considered this "Unfinished and lacking detail"...Hmm...

your images are exellent I love the back and white ones , what did you use to create them?You have a great uniqe style bravo!!!

Thanks, Dyl ! Nice to see that someone still likes black/white ! Sometimes I get the feeling that everything must be in colour these days...

Most of my images are done in Paint Shop Pro, the oldest are made with pencil and paper, scanned and finished in paint shop pro. These days I usually draw them right on my screen with my Wacom Intuos tablet.

A little explanation ( of my older method ) is in my sketchbook right here:
