🕑 Added 2019-04-20 12:36:48 +0000 UTCI've never painted a horse before, so this was a real challenge. I wanted to portray him as strong, stocky, yet also elegant like a descendant from a long line of noble centaurs. The idea was to create a painting that could easily be hanging above a giant fire place in giant mansion.
And with that in mind, I also tried to mimic more of an oil-painting style. You can see especially on the background and floor that the brushstrokes are rougher and more visible.
Either way, this was a super fun challenge and I'm so happy Tevruden decided to commission this fullbody painting!
This lad will be part of May's Patreon Rewards and as a digital package receiver you'll get:
- A4 High Res JPEG
- .PSD file
- GIFS showing the process
- Step by Step image (also showing my process)
- Black and White version
- In other words, lots of yummy behind the scenes material.
I am currently open for commissions! Filling up my May and June queues. Read more here.

You nailed everything you set out to do with this. It legit looks like an old oil painting, and I'd never guess this was your first time painting (part of) a horse. The lighting in particular is just, damn. Great work, Naar.
