Description The ~potterart club is holding a create-your-own-illegal-hybrid contest. W00t! This is one of the ideas I rejected, as centaurs and merrows (the mermaids common to Scotland's lochs) are Beings rather than Creatures - according to the Potterverse, at least.

But I like the design and I may just finish this one up for the heck of it.

Another lunchtime doodle.

That's a really huge tail! I think it fits though. Cool pose to show off the combo.

I wanted the mer-taur to have a really massive look about him - and it was pure luck that the proportions worked out.

Thanks!

I'll probably do something with this just for giggles. My actual contest entry is a more beast-like sort of beastie.

Haha! I love the idea and the turnout! Make me think somewhat of a hippocampus!

Reminds me of a Hippocampus for some reason. I love the design! It looks fabulous.

Thanks!

It's the same basic principle; he just has a human torso/head instead of just a horse's head.

Be it amphibious?

Not in this case. The initial design was to lay out the basic anatomy; a finished version would be more finny so that it would definitely read "fish". I figure with all of that mass in the tail, he'd probably have a really difficult time moving around on land. Might be able to get some air if he jumped out of the water, though...
