SF&F Picture 2 out of 48 by Casey J. Gilbert.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: Arkainus

This is the result of a week long independent figure study of equine anatomy... which in human language means I spent a week drawing horses.(granted, it's drastically modified to fit my creative whims) I drew this one to prove to myself that I could in fact draw a horse that didn't look like an oversized dog. (On a more updated note, I like the Equestrian2 pic much better... and were it not for my sense of consistancy, I would remove this one entirely!)

28 May 1999	Cindy England	Loading... Nicely done - your practice payed off. Good musculature. Only suggestion I have is to work on the eye more.
4 Jun 1999	Tina	Loading... Hi Casey! I'm very impressed by your pictures. Good job. They look so great. You are really talented. Keep drawing!
23 Jul 1999	Ida Thomasson	Loading... The head is too big, and I don't think a real hourse would hold his right hind leg like that.
23 Jul 1999	Tessa Brassé	Loading... grins...believe me, it looks like a horse...I like the way you even put his (or her, 's hard to tell) leg at rest...grins
27 Feb 2000	Dahlberg	Loading... I have worked with, ridden, and owned horses for about 10 years and I can say this definitely looks like a horse and not a big dog, furthermore horses often do stand with one leg slack, heck people do too for that matter. Contrary to popular belief horses prefer to sleep lying down, and will also lie down to sunbathe
2 Aug 2000	Anon.	Loading... Eep!! I wouldnt want to ride that!!! O.o
26 Aug 2000	Cheryl	Loading... re the previous post: a horse sure would hold his leg like that, as someone pointed out he's resting that leg. a horse can only rest one leg at a time (or fall over) and does so by cocking it so no weight is put on it, just like a person does... for my own comment, I think his eye looks kinda human. his joints are all in the right places, looks good.
10 Sep 2000	Anon.	Loading... looks pissed off to me war horse?
18 Sep 2000	Shawna ´Angel´ McKim	Loading... Looks great. The shading is stupdendous. Just a question tho...where are his/her eyes?
24 Mar 2007	J. Thomason	Loading... His head is a little bit off, but he has good shading... I sometimes do week long anatomy study things too, but it doesnt help much...for me...yeah...the end.
