SPARE ME.
It's the first proper centaur I've ever drawn. D:

My half of the art trade with ~hdhcentuarlord.
He asked for a hunky centaur with some specific features so here we are~
Hopefully it's anywhere near what you had in mind.
It never occurred to me to ask what color the equine part should be so I went with that (after researching in Google). I think it's called "blood bay". Well, it's bay no matter what.

Seriously.
I almost went and violated our metwurst package with a kitchen knife because it's the kind with horse meat in it.
I almost lost my mind with this.

And I don't really like horses even if I kinda like them.
That actually makes sense.
Horses are fascinating by appearance and they look amazing almost without exceptions. That's why I like them.
But they're BIG AND SCARY. That's why I don't like them. :I
Plus when I was a kid I was put on a horse's back and I was nearly crapping myself because it was so high. Way to go with fear of heights. >__>
And my stepdad used to have a horse which I had to take care of once. I was told she was a bit timid and once she came to me and started sniffing me and I was scared shitless she'd bite me if I did one wrong move.
AGH.

They're still pretty animals. c:

I left the overall shadows out because I think it looks pretty damn good even without them.
...And I'm kinda having a headache, too.
