Prince Of Xandaxes

Ha ha…

Ha.

Hm.

July 12, 2001 · the first chapter of Fullmetal Alchemist is released in Japan

i haven’t posted art on here in a while LOL

Well I was asked by the skilled and talented @inky-does-art to display some of my WIP, if any.

While I can say I have been writing as of late, it has primarily been original fiction and therefore not displayable.

However! I have been working on a miniature that I was intending to submit to a contest on reddit. Unfortunately, the last day for submission was yesterday at 11:59.

So that blows.

However, that doesnt mean I cannot show off my work!

So, here’s Nyla, my Centaur warrior from a story I have been writing.

The freehanded insignia on the shield was pretty fun to work on, as was the non metallic bronze for her javelin, kopis, shield, helm, and breastplate/bracers

I choose to tag @xavirne @valenshawke @artemisiavulgaris1114 @heyiyaif

No pressure, as you will

It was my first attempt at freehanding actually. Thankfully it wasn’t a detailed picture I had in mind, so I didn’t need to stress about straight lines.

The NMM is something I’ve been working on for an army actually, The Daughters of Khaine from Age of Sigmar. I love bronze as a color, and it’s not used enough I think when people paint their army’s.

Ok this is one I’ve been wanting to cover for a while and my cooldown sketches got out of hand, so buckle up and enjoy the picturebook!

The easiest options is exactly what you think, the flop. In a home, thick carpets or tatami-like mats would provide at least some sort of cushion for the horse-half and various sized cushions and pillows to lift and support the top half. And they CAN sleep standing up, like horses, but it does require both a special harness/corset and practice. And it’s not very comfortable for anything deeper than a doze or catnap for most, so it’s mostly reserved for bad situations, naps, or guard duty.

Most common are recliners, or ‘hammocks’. Easy to fold and carry for cultures on the move, or make fancy for the city-folk they are probably the most ubiquitous of centaur furniture. A simple adjustable A-frame supporting some sort of flexible fabric-ish sheet for the top half to lean against and sleep. Usually paired with some sort of large blanket or padding on the ground to lay the horse-half on!

When you don’t have no fancy recliners, your herd will do! The preferred sleeping method of closely bonded herds is to simply rest on your buddies cushy backside! Roaming bands can often form long chains of sleeping centaurs with the unlucky first taur either on guard duty, sleeping sprawled, or with the group’s only hammock.

Mix and match to your character and herd’s personal preference!

Also stretchies!
