Drew it in summer.
I shouldn't have watched Disney's Pastoral Symphony's Greek mythology segment of Fantasia before going to the Welcome Home website for updates.
Oh well....

Well, with all the interest in the boob post bringing up a lot of discussion on centaurs, I guess I had better go pick up and finish my post on how I personally worldbuild with centaurs! I put it off for other things.
My centaurs are based on chalicotheres and their weird anatomy is the result of a very oddly specific genetic quirk in which every centaur is actually a chimeric twin! Don't ask me how their genetics managed to work that out, I'm not actually a biologist. I just enjoy a little taste of believability in my fantasy anatomy.

(Image description: a centaur sitting on their hindquarters in a lounging pose, with a foreleg up on their knee. They look a little pompous, as if talking to someone in a condescending manner. They're wearing a few pieces of fancy draped cloth and jewelry in their hair, on their neck, and on their wrists. Like a chalicothere, their head has a similar shape to a horse's head and their hands and feet all have three hooved digits. End description)
My centaur worldbuilding post will also include a few examples of common congenital defects for centaurs.

The last centaurs, Aziraphale and Crowley, and their little foal Orion 💛

centaurs are enough of a pain to draw on their own, lets add interactions to the mix! I'm generally trying to get better at figures interacting in a way that feels solid, cause who doesn't want more snuggles in the world 💜

Centaur Watching Fish by Arnold Böcklin (1878).
I love love love Böcklin’s mythical pieces, they have this sense of realism, and often even sensitivity.

a lot of fantasy universes like to paint dwarves as being the most alcohol tolerant, but i feel like if any fantasy race would be the best at a drinking contest it'd be a centaur.
horses have a specific protein called liver alcohol dehydrogenase, which allows them to convert alcohol into simple sugars easier than humans. additionally, centaurs have the bonus human liver in them and the advantage of being as big as most of a horse and most of a human.
instead of dwarven ale you have to get ready for that centaur IPA. it'll maybe kill you.

*Pylenor (first pic) was a centaur wounded by Heracles Hydra poison-tipped arrows, he managed to survive by washing his wound in the river Anigrus. From then on, the river was tainted, always having a very peculiar, nasty odor.
I got a brain bug last week to draw a certain centaur, and then my inner horse girl came back from the grave and I ended up drawing a bunch of them.
Taking inspiration from tribal societies and wild horse herd dynamics for those man/beast vibes.

Do you have any references for centaur foals? It's really hard to find any references that's not adults
Yea! Enjoy a dump of all my centaur babies! They're mostly a bit older drawings but I think they still hold up haha and I don't think many people draw them cause they can be a little funky- what with the chunky little bodies on big ol spidery legs 😅 But I still think they're cute 💜

And a lot of my drawings of the bitties are in slings, as that's how I built in infant care with an L-shaped infant 😂

Soap: I think centaurs are a terrible mythological creature. Anatomically... And that they're actually horror creatures
Gaz, squinting at him trying to process what he just heard: ...are you high?
Soap: I can only see two options for what a centar looks like. Option one- the typical half-man, half-horse. Remove the horse neck, replace with a human torso. That would mean you have a human head, a human neck, 2 human arms, 2 different torsos, and 4 horse legs. This gives me many questions.
Price: why am I here?
Soap: first of all, does that mean it has 2 sets of organs? If it does how does the horse-half get air to its lungs? If it doesn't where do all the organs go? Do the lungs have to be extra big to compensate for 2 torsos? Where would they go? In the human torso? Do the rest of the organs then go into the horse-half? Does that mean the rest of the organs are extra large? If it were to wear pants, how?
Price: I hate it here.
Gaz, horrified but intrigued: ..go on...
Soap, no longer paying attention: or option two- just a regular human body, but the butt is actually a horse torso. That means you have an entire human just with an extra horse body and 2 horse legs. I still have questions on the organs. And how does it pee or poop like this. Does this version need pants? How does it wear them?
Gaz: I see what you mean by horror creature, now...
Soap: oh this isn't what I meant by horror creature, though I suppose that could be part of it.
Gaz: wha-
Soap: I mean because they're always depicted to be muscular, but I can't see a way that the human half would have the ability and range of motion the build that muscle. So this leads me to believe that the fat is perhaps stored in the horse half of the centar. This would explain the defined musculature of the human half, but it also probably means that it is very lean and pale and knobly, and with too well defined musculature. If this is the case that centars would likely create a sort of uncanny valley feeling, therefore I have concluded that centaurs are horror creatures.
Gaz: 😨
Ghost, with heart eyes: ... I'm gonna marry you
