Tag As FavoriteComment		He has been around for awhile.

The satyrs you see are often little goat boys with pan flutes. This is what they look like when they grow up. I guarantee he smells.

Anatomy is great, your choice of colors is so natural. This picture seems to be right, as if he could stand next to some tourists. I especially like the gold. It's shiny and solid. ^_^

*Very* good anatomy, both human and animal! The belly especially... Nice job!

The textures in this piece are my favorite part, particularly the fur contrasted with the leaves in the background.

This is wonderful. Amusing, but not too funny. I love your artwork!

Good work with the anatomy - sick of hearing that yet lol? -he has such character. I like the different way you've approached satyrs. Ver cool leaves too by the way!

i love this to death! (it could be because goats are my favorite animals!) the only thing im gonna ask about is: why are his horns so short? the older the buck, the larger the horns...but that could just be your own want 1 love it love it!!

He looks alot like a buck I once owned, a pygmy buck! Could be why the horns are shorter, pygmies don't get the long sweeping horns like some of the other breeds. Very nice picture, it all blends together very well! And as for smelling, bucks smell because they pee on themselves, so, you might want to add a little more yellow to his beard (just kidding!!!).
Great pic!

I think he's beautiful. I wouldn't mind smelling him, either. 1

I can see him standing next to some person (more likely a tourist) asking him to dance and having him just sit there and drink instead. Well done with the color job!
