Another of my loves, ever since I saw a painting by Dorian Cleavenger of a winger centaur male being roped down in mist, i fell in love with the centaur. They're such majestic beasts. In this case, it's an young, anime style centaur, chained down, which I would imagine, is a centaur's worst nightmare, not able to roam free. I like the sense of tension in this picture. 2003, Pencil

Awwww... how sad- obviously he's going to fight until he is either dead or has managed to free himself, and he's so pretty that I don't want to see him get hurt... Can't we please let this one go?

this is really great but it lacks something... its hard for me to specify what, but i think its something to do with the guys head. It coudl be thrown back perhaps, or his chin chould perhaps be nearly agaisnt his chest. the movement of his body suggests his head should be more dramatic. other than that is this picture is extraordinary. the pose is magnificent and I love his armour!

i did a poem that would fit with this pic woderfully...yep
I want to run so bad
but these cahins hold me back
the sun shines in the fields
but i'm held by a world of steel
the chains are thier words. cold, and hard
the fetters are their faces. jaded and scar ed
did they ever dream? or did they just sleep
only to wake, find what they missed and weep.
because they were told that dreams are like games
and when you grow up you must put them away...
and accept your chains...
NO! I WON'T TAKE THIS!i hold my dream i won't let them take it and say i'm a fool!
i won't let them jade me till i become a tool to put chains into place.
My voice isn't hard! theres no scars on my face!
so i dream, but when i wake i look only to find the cahins still in place...
I want to run to dare and be me...
these chains are still here...but one day i'll break free.
kinda long and slightly pointless but nee I looooove the pic keep it up!

I just keep comming back to this picture. I love the movement and the expression of the centuar. He's cute! The sketching is amazing and the proportions of the horse are so good!! I loooove it!! Make me one!!!

Well, maybe he's in the process of throwing his head back.

My one question is, why would they rope him and tie him down and actually be able to affix his hind legs to the ground and yet neglect to take off those wicked shin-guards? I know I would, if I had captured him.

This comment courtesy of your friendly neighborhood Nit-Picker. Thank you. Thank you.

I looooooooooooooove the horse part. not a flaw. well, the person part is just as good too but, horses are my favorite animal. another thing: if he has a sword then... couldent he cut the ropes?

Wow really love the contrast, the proportions are good and we can feel easily the emotion. Continue, I will come check the update later.

I like the amount of details on this one. And the pose/expression are very suggestive as well.
