This is a quite unusual 'woman'. The concept is actually not mine, but from another elfwood artist, 'Ciaran Slavin' (seek for his page), Who have granted me permission to use this impression on his caracther in my elfwood page. I'd like to say that I know exactly what she is. Looks like some sort of Horse/woman hybrid, but your guess is as good as mine, fellow reader.

The muscles are really good, and I like the way the human and the horse are mixed together. The hair is pretty nice also.

:-) Frederico Lyra Chagas replies: "  Hehehe. Well, most of my drawings involve the human figure, so I guess that's what I can do better... hence the mucles being all right. I still have plenty to learn about it, anyway... Oh, and thanks for the comment. 1"

More goat than horse, I think.
Looks good. I think yours looks more malevolent than Ciaran's.
Welcome to Elfwood!

:-) Frederico Lyra Chagas replies: "  Hehehehe. Well, I guess that a goat is just as good a guess as a horse. I suppose that just Ciaran can tell for sure. Thanks for the comment, anyway."

Well whatever she is, she's very cool.

:-) Frederico Lyra Chagas replies: "  Maybe not knowing what she is helps her to be cool. kinda like "oh, look at that misterious thing"..."

It's pooka, actually... Very mean spirit thing, but it's half goat.. I'm not sure how i know this. This is an amazing piccy, i love the shading and the way the hair flows. Her face and posture look very real and natural. *gallops away* i wanna pooka!!!

:-) Frederico Lyra Chagas replies: "  Well, looks like Ciaran had inspired himself in an actual mythological characther. I'll ask him if it's indeed a p(h)ooka what he meant to represent. Anyway, I think I'll look for them in the net. Now you people really got my curiosity going."

I think they call this a phooka.

:-) Frederico Lyra Chagas replies: "  Really? Well, I guess phooka is just as good name as any. Well, perhaps a little weird, but being weird fits the pic, right?"

Nice to see this up, Fred!
I can say that this hybrid character is from a fantasy graphic novel I am working on.
This creature is actually a member of a supposedly extinct alien race, who many ages ago, came to the world in which my story is set.
Fred done a superb job of capturing the essence of the creature!

:-) Frederico Lyra Chagas replies: "  So there you have it, ladies and gentleman; It's not a p(h)ooka, it's an Alien. Thanks for clearing this up, pal. Oh, by the way, whoever want to see how his original looks like, just use the link and drop by in his gallery; it's featured in there, and it actually were a mod's choice."

What ever she is, she looks very good. I would love to see it in colour!

:-) Frederico Lyra Chagas replies: "  The very first attempt to color something in the computer that I made was in that exact drawing. Unfortunately, photoshop crashes in my computer, and when I got the paintshop pro I already had other fish to fry. Maybe one day I'll colour it, though..."

How original! Horsewomen are very rare, you know...
Love the picture and the pose! And the hair especially!

:-) Frederico Lyra Chagas replies: "I guess you are right... except for this pic and the one in Ciaran's gallery, i think I never saw another horse woman. Thanks for the comment, BTW."
