Description
In Norse Mythology, Sleipnir was the grey, magical eight-legged horse of the god Odin. Sleipnir was so fast, that he could travel not only on land, but on water and through the air as well ... he also had the ability to travel in and out of the land of the dead. Loki, in the guise of a mare, gave birth to Sleipnir by Svadilfari.
This was my first time illustrating a horse (and an 8-legged one at that) and it was ALOT harder than I thought! After I sketched him, it was scanned in and finished off with a combination of Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. I'd appreciate it if I could get some feedback on his anatomy (just want to make sure I'm doing it right) Thanks!!!! :)

these kind of pieces, sketched and painted in a way that can be defined as comic style, have their own criteria for anatomy that don't have to be realistic, by force. here you reach a great balance between realism and fantasy to me. Spot on once again.
