Didn't really get to keep up with centaurgust since I got an influx of commissions, but here's some finished-ish sketches and the first pass xD

We had someone ask about what taurs can mountain climb! Which was fun... any other suggestions for activities or taurs?

ROUND ONE: SURVIVAL

Round one of the Champion's Cup starts today! Gear up and get to it champions! You have two weeks from today (May 26th) to complete this round! Good luck!

Day 1 of taurgust2023

Welcome to Taurgust! Were we will try to draw something relating to centaurs as many days as we can!

Starting off stong with Nym and Rowl doing Parkour~

The plan is to do studies of taurs and how they might move, anatomy things or just little doodles etc. In other words, low stress. This was more detailed than we meant lol.

Feel free to join us! :D

So... Nym is officially a taur now.

My friend (Rowl's writer) went "hey, au where Nym is a taur-" and the idea had my brain in a chokehold until it was canon. Other than four legs and other more obvious biological factors they're unchanged :3

Here, as a little treat enjoy a first pass design of "Ghost" aka Stella Knightly as a kiddo. She's an albino racoon taur, and technology savant. A side character that doesn't properly show up until waaaay into the story, but we're currently working on her backstory right now. She will VERY likely change at least one or two more times before her design is settled, but she's an insanely cute kid.

Lookit this sassy child.

This is a wip of Lux (Luxor/Luxora) Kumar, a scimitar oryx who has technically existed for a while but is recently getting some love. Anyway. Color is next, then hopefully their boyfriend, dad and best friend xD

why do her friends call her needles

WELL- it's mostly a joke about her day job as an acupuncturist... but also a nod to her night-life serial killer interests. Her signature is to use acupuncture to keep her victims immobile while she effectively tortures them. That being said, her night life activities are kept on a short leash due to her role in the Wall's underground as an emergency doctor and amature psychiatrist- amature meaning she practices, but doesn't have an official degree. And she's actually rather successful.

Needles and her husband "Doc" (Hope Greyson, an ex-research scientist who lost his practice due to experimenting on patients) are basically one of the underground's two-person team for emergency medical attention in Brandt (one of the provinces of the Wall), and who you go to if you have a particularly weird case. And despite their urges, they both keep eachother in check... Doc experimenting on Needle's victims gives them both more than enough satisfaction without going so far that they get caught. Afterall, he gets people to experiment with but she has to be very picky so can't just go after any ol person to satisfy his needs. They're our crazy mad-scientist-serial-killer duo.

Anyway, she actually likes the nickname better than her given one; Carmen Pointer. Enjoy a rough concept

(They're both mega side characters, and not even alive in story propper but it's fun to write their banter.)

A messy, temporary Nym reference for artfight! I added a simplified version of the hair but honestly it can be even more simple than that. Pretty much the only thing is that Nym likes beads and likes a lot of them. But they also like to match what they wear, so if less is more then that they shall do xD

Transcript: (not in order of appearance, in order of importance)

1) Beads are random, pick any placement desired! 2) jewlery random other than * (starred) 3) hairstyle can just be one braid 4) pupils must be white 5) belt goes under tail 6) usually smiles but can be serious

Starred items: necklace (gem can be white), right bracelet, one large cylinder hair bead at end of braid

Other scattered notes: 1) [head] not shaven [on sides] line of braids. 2) white tattoos connect freckles [on shoulders]. Random! 3) belt buckle raven skull (optional) 4) electric burn scars meant to be faint (therefore optional). 5) bracelets on legs can be anywhere or left off

Not written: the tattoos on their shoulders are meant to look like constellations. The tattoo on their left arm is a simplified solar eclipse with three other waning moons. Shark tooth earring is optional!

Nym's dog half is meant to be an ambigious mutt visially based on malamutes, huskies and akitas. However they are more the height of a great dane so about the average height of a human at the top of the head.

Eyo, we are late but here's our sharky mermay piece!

We actually have a lot of reasons for picking the sharks that we did. Both are open ocean sharks, first. Second, Rowl is a blue shark because they are known for traveling in packs, are very fast, and growing up they were described to me as "wolves of the open ocean". Nym is an oceanic white tip because they are found all over the world (though mostly in tropical waters, that is less accurate), and the white tips always reminded me of clouds a bit.

...

Sharks are a special interest lol.

Are Thorne and Kestrel's character designs done yet?

You have... no idea how hard this made us laugh, thank you X'D

And for the most part Kestrel is done, yes~ The only thing left for them is a few tattoos, and those will just evolve as I get to them. But since these are on Kestrel's back (most likely), I'm just calling them done. Really the only big thing I want to draw is Kestrel with their hair down but I know what that looks like.

Now Thorne's design may just continue to evolve and change until we get further in the story- or maybe it will just have small changes until we actually finish haha. But this is the most up to date version and there are key features that are locked in place: long and lanky, delicate, lil snaggle tooth fang poking from his mouth, monochrome pallet with dark skin, kinky-curly hair, heterochromia with one dark eye and a light eye, and freckles. His patterning may change a few more times, tattoos are a hope but those aren't designed, we knoe he has a few accessories but not sure what exactly yet, he has family scarification (cultural thing) but those aren't designed yet- we want to do our research and make sure we don't use a real culture's practices incorrectly... but yeah! Yarne is pleased with what his face and body type looks like. And he actually looks like his mom and dad's kid now, so that's a nice bonus.

Here, enjoy their canon height difference. For context, Kestrel's about 6 feet tall (183 cm). Which means their dog half is about the size of a large pony. Thorne's actually not terribly short for a wolf :)

Oh I guess that one thing will be redrawn on Kestrel, now that I'm looking at this. That shirt is not in line with the fashion of the Wall, so they probably wouldn't wear that unless they made it... overall fashion in story is more like 1920's meets 1940's - 50's era (from various places around the world). Clothing design isn't a strong suit though, so I just draw them in whatever my heart desires at the time XD

Thorne's jacket is canon though, it's his dad's old coat.

Happy new year from Thorne and Kestrel! (Previously Rowl and Nym)

What if Nym was a head taller than Rowl?

...so many shenanigans, is the answer.

Creature thoughts! Formerly called "dahlin," these are based on kelpies.

Designing Biff's family! And doing a little questionare on Insta.

Pepper, Lup, Fang and Thorne so far. We still need a sketch of Raven and teen Biff snd Keev. Having a lot of fun :3c
