I LOVE Elfwood! A site where anyone who’s so inclined can post their artwork and I so often find fantastic inspiration there. Have a look at my current inspiration – I’d love to hear your thoughts : )
The above pic is by a fav artist of mine on Elfwood, his stuff is ridiculous fun ;p
Take care all!

Elfwood is very very awesome indeed. Some truly amazing art there!
Just a practical thought about centaurs …
Wouldn't their heads need to be more in the center of their backs so they would be balanced, and not in danger of toppling over head-over-heels with all that extra upper-body weight? …
I guess that's why all the lady centaurs have that breasts-thrust-forward-shoulders-back look eh? Nothing to do with objectification at all! Same goes for the guy centaurs – it can't be good for the spine.
If you like using art as inspiration you should check out gfxartist.com. There is some amazing stuff on there, especially in the Elite galleries. I love this pic which reminds me of my MC's love interest.
What a cool site! I'd never been there before, and I'm so glad to know about it. Some very inspiring stuff over at Elfwood.
Hi Trisha – it really is, has helped so much with my ideas!
Hi Widdershins – had a good chuckle at your comment, I do the same thing when thinking through creatures. My theory with centaurs is that they're their own unique species on Sytas… and the rest I'll figure out as I go along *grin*
Hi Sari – thanks for the suggestions!! I'l duck over there shortly
Hi Julie -it is amazing what you can find there 🙂
Wow – I've learned about two sites where I can drool. Of the pictures you posted (I love them all), I was most drawn to the warrior centaur. Maybe it's the bold strokes, but it felt both Knightly and Pagan. Very inspiring!
BTW, I found you through CJ Duggan's blog.
Cheers,
Ellen
