Description

From Filipino mythology, a Tikbalang is a werehorse. Traditionally depicted as having a human like torso and a horse's head. Here I fused the human and horse head together. Modelled and rendered Lightwave, SasLite for hair, textured in Zbrush. Thanks for viewing...

Perhaps a mane of long hair rather than just a stubble? Now you've done it... you're going to have to complete the entire mythos of creatures, like the "Aswang", "Tiyanak" (a.k.a. "ang anak ni dyanis") and the "Manananggal". Brilliant work, and thank you for the shiver that ran down my spine! :o)
