Artist's Comments

I sketched this out ages ago, intending to enter a competition where you draw yourself, a friend or a celebrity as a centaur but kept putting off painting it. I finally did it on Saturday and it took me five hours! I decided not to enter it into the contest though cos I don't they're accurate enough representations...I guess the guy's meant to loosely resemble Benvolio and the woman's meant to be a far-too-flattering version of me. =P I think this shows my slushy side cos it's so cliched and romantic lol. The photo is rancid and a bit blurred which is annoying. It's all done in dots of acrylic paint, natch, but I had to cheat on the facial features and do them in pencil!

Oh yeah, she's meant to be holding a rose but it went a bit strange!

Design - (C) ME!

Thank you! Yeah, that's sort of what inspired it - my fave segment of Fantasia!

Yes, I liked her the best too! Particularly with all the flowers in her long tail. And the pegasus family were just amazing! Well, all of that sketch was! Love it soo much!!! :love:
