Thank you MattD it is really nice to hear that you find it creepy, since I was aiming for this effect. Thanks for checking my thread as well!

I believe that pencil sketch was too static so I arched his head a bit and I made his bottom jaw open. As I will render him a lot will change. I am using Shire horse and Irish cob as a reference.

This one really took a lot of time to figure it out since he was in a perspective. My goal this year is really polish my knowledge of animal anatomy in all kinds of poses.

Yesterday I drew cats instead of horses and I enjoyed myself immensely. I will do more cat and dog studies , I just love their body structure and movement.

Your drawings are so dynamic and full of life :heart_eyes: Amazing, I love it!

oh i love these studies! the gesture game is strong :smiley:

Thank you so much!! I am getting a bit less stiffer but still struggle is real sometimes haha.

Here are some options for my dying unicorn. I am not sure about the fog and I am struggling a lot with edge control, this is really something I would like to master as well. I like to add stripes to my horses because it makes them prehistoric for some reason, well at least in my opinion.

Looking very nice so far! I love the mood.

Hyenas body shape and posture always captured my imagination. Especially when they smile, it is very creepy and can add a lot to a creature design if your aim is to be a bit scary.

Here is a finished piece of my last unicorn dying, surrounded by skeletons of his fellow horses. I combined Shire looking horse with zebra pattern, which makes it look a bit prehistoric in my opinion and I made his mane in Wildebeest style. He was a strong and magnificent animal but without his horn he is parishing. This piece was a good practice because I really pushed myself to add all the details on horses anatomy.
