This beasty has been living in my mind for quite some time and I finally got around to putting him on paper. I havn't a clue what he is called so don't bother asking. But he is a sort of dragon horse kind of beast.
He is built for speed and is the choice steed of theives and assasins because of an easy speedy get away ability. The creatures long limbs and powerful hind quarters make it th fastest thing on four legs. Its large, clawed, almost bird-like feet allow it to climb and grip the ground better. It has a powerful cheast cavity with big lungs to allow it to breath easier while running at high speeds. His hair is a lot like a horse's, but it is so short, smooth, and tightly packed it looks and almost feels like skin. This helps keep off water and allows it to move more aerodynamically. It is a meat eater, as seen in the emmense teeth and powerful jaws but it is not picky and will eat almost anything it can get. Don't get me wrong though, he is by no means a agressive creature despite his appearence. His kind are for the most part gentle and easily tamed and domesticate for carrying riders. His legs are wrapped because when carrying the extra weight of a rider his thin, streamline leg are best to be re-inforced. By the way, no, he has no form of unicorn in him, the horn it part of his harness and is purely show.
His face was origionally intended to be a bit more dragon-like and little bit more like a skull but I sorta like his face like this. No reference was used for the equine looking anatomy but I think it came out pretty well. I like making up critters because I don't have to follow the rules of normal anatomy. Full view for a better look at him! XD
A brand new monthly article which showcases some of deviantART's finest equine artists, as well as recognizing the lesser-known but equally talented ones. Interviews, helpful tutorials and features can all be found here too! I hope you enjoy it.
The idea of this contest is to set you up completely blind with a mythical being - from any world culture - and turn you loose to come up with a deviation based around it!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
