Description Alternative title: "Red Cat-Taur Run" @
Guess I hadn't quite scratched my Wemic itch (cheers to for telling me that's what these cat-taurs are called!) with the last two pics so I decided to do another, and this time keep it suitable for all ages... - result? I turn the figure away from the viewer! lol

Still just learning and drawing for myself... - I have no serious intentions for any of these `:]

Great motion in her running pose here; it's so dynamic! That energy is also reflected beautifully in her hair and the tuft of her tail which are both stylized so well.

thanks a lot for the comment, chick!! I think the thing that's always bugged me about this is I manage to capture a nice energy and motion in the hair and feline parts, as you've commented, but the human body-parts never really reflected that energy or fused too well w/the pic... I've been toying with the idea of re-drawing this one.. but I doubt I'll ever find the time! lol

It's a tough call! The only suggestion I can think of to better translate that energy to her human half would be maybe to have her lean forward a bit. In full sprint, humans tend to lean forward into their runs, but I think that even that would alter the joyous, free-spirited mood of the piece.

yes I think that's pretty much what I was thinking... I didn't add the bird till after I'd drawn her, and when I looked back at her a few days later I thought she doesn't REALLY look like she's reaching for it at all... I get what you mean about altering the mood too.. I wouldn't want it to look like she was hunting the poor thing! LOL

Oh! I just made it up on the spot; that was just some dialogue I'd imagine her saying if she was hunting the bird instead of simply chasing it! xD

thanks hun!! I was happy when I first drew it but I'm actually really tempted to re-do this one.. the human anatomy doesn't have enough stretch through it :3

thanks so much!! I'm actually thinking of re-drawing this one as I think I could improve upon the pose.. but I'm not sure how many more running taurs my watch list can take! lol

Someone's definately been enjoying their Kat-taur fix!
These are all awesome, it's fascinating how their anatomy blends between the different animals

Haha, I wonder if Kat-taurs will become as popular as Gallomps?
I've been thinking of re-drawing some of my early deviantART spam, every time I see the "reDRAW" meme my brain goes I WANNA DO THAT

KatCardy In reply to RazzieMbessai [2013-04-15 19:09:26 +0000 UTC]

I dunno.. I loves me some gallomps... I don't actually have any Centaur characters other than Moke or Crimson.. where as every gallomp feels like a character :3 .... they're certainly getting more fuss mind you! lol

I like the simplicity but story behind this piece. Especially showing the feline elements in this person.

'Red Cat-Taur Run + Bird' surely

also accidently typed that as 'Car-Taur'

This is my favourite one so far. Not sure about that signature of yours though - looks like it might be bit of a trip hazard...

oh man.. how could I have been so FOOLISH!! x.X + Bird.. it's so OBVIOUS now I've seen it written down! x.X lol
car taur? .. I hate the fact that my brain is actually currently trying to work out what one would look like
Lol @ trip hazard.. I really need to watch where I leave those things laying around!

Tried a few sketchs of a car-taur but doesn't seem to work at all. They just look too front heavy and unbalanced in a bad way
However it does somehow remind me of arts like this [link] that I found a while back. Not quite car taurs, but anthro machines can be fun.
