ethics of making AI images aside, I do find a bit amusing the kinds of sob stories and mental gymnastics people make up to pretend like drawing is this super technical skill with an impossibly high barrier of entry when its like one of the first hobbies toddlers pick up
suddenly a lot of people think they got the next Lord of the Rings in their head but they were never able to turn their stories into anything tangible because the evil elitist artists are hogging all the talent and skill and they need a bajilion years of training or something as if one of the most popular manga and anime of the past decade wasn’t made by a guy that draws like this

nobody is making fun of the transmasc cowboy schlock because they’re Cringeshaming Meanies bro it is just very directly a white supremacist fantasy that’s not useful to declare “rehabilitated” because you slapped top surgery scars and pronouns on it. can we be serious
saw this appended to the actually true sentiment that “basic trans girl amazon skirt” stuff is pointlessly cruel and transmisogynistic and it’s like. man how fucking disingenuous is it to act like the needless aggressive policing of trans women’s femininity is in any way equivalent to honestly overly gentle criticism of white usamerican trans guys’ obsessions with queering manifest destiny
fascinating to have to clarify this but this actually wasn’t a solicitation for suggestions for queer/transmasc cowboy media that You, Personally like

you are not better than fat people!
even REALLY fat people!
even fat people who don’t put a lot of time into their appearance!
even fat people who wear clothes you think are unflattering!
your appearance literally does not make you better than a fat person. you are not more fun to hang out with because you’re not fat. you are not funnier, smarter, or more interesting by virtue of not being fat. you aren’t harder working, you don’t have more self-control, you don’t have your life more together.
the only difference between you and fat people is that they have to put up with a lot of harassment, discrimination, exclusion, and other bullshit that you don’t even think about.
try not to add to it.
Everyone adding “but i DO have more self control than a fat person!!” is a self righteous piece of shit who 1) knows literally nothing about fat science and 2) has been blocked.
Fat people deserve respect. You have not earned the privilege you have over fat people; it’s been given to you by an unfair hierarchical society and you fuckers walking around thinking it’s a meritocracy so you can feel special need to get a fucking clue.Yes, this applies to fat people who aren’t trying to lose weight!! And fat people who eat more food than you do!! You are not better than them and acting like you are just makes you an ass.
I’ve just gone through and blocked another round of assholes from the notes, and I’d just like to add, as a disabled person with a long list of chronic illnesses, that if you think you’re better than someone else because you think you’re healthier than they are, you are vile.
Your health is not a reward for being a wonderful person, it’s pure fucking chance. It is fucking evil to think you’re superior to someone else because they’re suffering in ways you aren’t.
Also, not all fat people are unhealthy and not all unhealthy people are fat, but even the fattest people whose health problems are connected to their weight are just as worthwhile, interesting, fun to be around, and worthy of dignity as you are. You are not a better person just because your size or health status is different.You just have the privilege of being catered to in ways fat people aren’t. Don’t think for a moment that you deserve this special treatment or that fat people deserve the harassment, abuse, discrimination, and exclusion our society systemically aims at fat people.

traditional centaurs are so like wild because theres like no way they would thrive. horses and human spines are both much too stiff to allow decent grooming with the shape they have and the way they would connect given the human torso is sitting straight up..
horses also notoriously are fragile. they walk on their single toe. they store oxygen in their bones because their lungs are not strong enough to fully supply their body, which is a large factor in why breaking any bones is so detrimental to a horse. also they break bones super easily because they have very small legs and, again, walk on a single toe. their hearts struggle to support their bodies and are a regular source of issues. horses pretty commonly may get too scared and die of a heart attack, as most prey animals are want to do.
granted, a centaur is probably not a prey animal anymore. but there would need to be so much rearranging of the internal organs to make it viable. personally i like to think of them having the majority of the human torso be lungs while a larger heart is in the horse chest. the digestive system snakes through them and the stomach and most other primary organs remain in the horse tummy. also, it would be prudent to strengthen the legs and have larger feet to accomate for the extra ~50-60lbs added from the human torso. anything that would help them thrive in various environments rather than disabling them in a way that does not allow them to safely travel most places lest it give them a life-ending injury. the world would already not be made for them due to their size, adding onto that seems unfair and not super frasible. Also, most importantly, their spine needs to be adjusted to be more flexible and curved to allow for better, more natural resting positions and ability to take care of themselves. the way the two segments would connect would ideally be more like the curvature of a praying mantis.
anyway all that to say i draw centaurs with bodies shaped a lot more like cats, due to the spine mostly
@invisiblespoon ive got you covered ‼️
Centaurs aren’t something i draw All the time but I’ve always loved speculative biology for fantasy races, so years ago I did this little outline for how I think their bone structure would look. Like i said, much more catlike since they’d be likely be predators rather than prey animals with the addition of the human torso and need to be able to adjust and lay comfortably in the wild. Both human and horse spines are too rigid to just fuse together and keep the same shape; it would completely obstruct movement. They need a spine that is able to healthily bend to go straight up and to curve around, which means more a lot more vertebrae.
ALTIt does change the shape to be different than a horse or human, really, but thats what happens when you change the amount of vertebrae in an animal! Its like a cat vs a manx cat. A manx cat with no tail vertebrae has its spine rounded. This moves its organs around and leads to organ failure pretty commonly, but i digress. I think centaurs would have two ribcages, both for structure and to account for the extra energy needed to fuel the body. Horses alone already dont have lungs big enough for their bodies, so the entire lower ribcage would be devoted to bigger, stronger lungs. The upper ribcage would be devoted to their heart.
ALTThe spine structure being changed would give them the wiggle room to be able to lounge properly!
ALTYou may have noticed they also all have paws. thats more of a personal choice, because I am unsure how well hooves, the toes, would be able to balance in an animal that is bendy and twisty. As well as their newfpund predator status I give them, hooves are Not ideal for hunting because of how much sound they make. Though, they do have very rough, keratin covered hands mimicking hooves so they can dig and tear into things in a unique, if not totally efficient, way. Very few animals irl are 100% efficient
Here’s my centaur character Efua in a couple good sketches of her body. She has feathering on her limbs that she keeps wrapped out of the way and her hair trails down her neck in a mane. These were drawn without any references so they arent the most anatomically correct but well. I think she’s cute and I like showing her off.

ALTCentaurs don’t have upper breasts. That wouldnt make sense to evolve to pick your baby up to feed them when theyll be born able to move mostly on their own. Human babies are only undercooked bc our heads are too big to go through an adult body. Centaurs are already pushing a little horsey body out sooo I dont think the head would be too much an issue.
and theres my addition to my rambling about centaur biology 👍
#there it is :] -
I love it when there’s a guy who lost their name. forgot it, discarded it, don’t use it, can’t use it, had it stolen, even just when a title is used to avoid saying it. all good stuff
bonus addendum! also guys who never had one! love guys who never had a name!!
