Drew my favourite carousel horse as Sleipnir and then that turned into drawing other horses from this carousel as figures from mythology/fantasy/folklore and now it won’t feel Complete unless I figure out something for the whole outer row, but there are 12 of them SOS

Great news, looking into this lead to me learning about Hinduism’s Uchchaihshravas, who has 7 heads. I have a preliminary list now for what the rest could be but some are um.. less than ideal, so I would happily take more ideas

Wasn’t sure about doing a centaur because picking a style for the human half felt like a whole thing, but I had a Fantasia-related epiphany and now she’s one of my favourites? Also looking into physical characteristics of kelpies I found ‘backwards hooves’ which on the one hand sells it and on the other I viscerally hate.

Most & least obvious ones so far. Wanted to do one of the horses in mythology that brings the morning across the sky, but a chariot would be too big so Greek was out & beyond being bright-maned Skinfaxi doesn’t really look like anything. But maybe just attaching the sun..? And then yeah a unicorn.

Thestral! Two left, and unfortunately this is only the beginning of the uhh.. spooky section.

Ti.....kbalang..........

Anyway that’s all 12 of the outermost horses on the carousel I grew up loving, converted into gods and monsters. Thank you for indulging this spiral.

Super pony 🏅
