Happy Centaur in the Meadow
This was my first attempt at anything horse-like. I'm quite happy with the colouring, although the scanner dulls the glow of the warm brown a bit (I don't own a digital camera). The stuff on the base are dried bits of heather, which I individually placed with normal PVC glue and tweezers - my first foray beyond simple sand or moss. The bowstring is a bit of 32-gauge green beading wire. The scan doesn't show it well, but his hair and tail have brown highlights over the black. I wanted to go for nice detail without making the guy himself too overly decorated, so I added detail to the bow and quiver, but kept the man/horse's body relatively unadorned. I didn't think this was the kind of guy to go for tattoos and such. :)
