I like the idea of the 'horsey' qualities being carried through the human portion - the mottling of the skin, the mane running down the spine, the big dark eyes and swiveling ears. The Greek mythological centaurs that undoubtedly Lewis was drawing from always seem too 'cut and pasted' - I wanted to visualize a more blended creature.

For centaur-wear, I based my ideas vaguely on Native American costumes - lots of braided hair, leatherwork, and 'earthy' sorts of jewelry and embellishment.

Very good posses, but the only thing thats killing me is thee hollow hoof, oh well. I think youve been attacked about that enough.

The posse of the paint centaur, although imposible by normal horses, seems sencible. Very cool

Do I see that shadow of shoes on those hooves? Hmm, I wonder how much it would cost to shoe a centaur..

Wow, can you illustrate my fanfic for me?

This is really great, your anatomy is spot on, i know some peeps are on about a few mistakes but i think they're pose and your style have made them look natural.

Two thumbs way way up from me.

I really love the dappled girl's pose, its really original. The only thing I think is that the brown centaur wouldn't be able to bend her leg that way to pick out her hoof.

Cool coloring.

A horses hoof has a frog in it, but centaurs are different I guess *yeeps!* That is smart. No rocks can easily get stuck there.

Hehe, loves the coloring!

I LOVE Narnia. Although I would imagine the stylings would be different then this...I see where you’re coming from, but it doesnt seem very Narnian. Or Calormanian, or Archenlandian...haha you get my point. Either way, I ADORE this!
