Well, he sure look like a centaur so I assume he would have a human face. Manticores should have one too.



Funny that you say that. It occurred that some MLP fans artists I talked with said that they can't draw humans. I think it's the realistic factor that accounts on that matter like you mentioned. There are people who are afraid of horses, but not the cartoon version of them like the ponies. Well, they have human-like traits (round face like a child, eyes with round irises who are in front of the face and not on the eyes) that give them a cuter aspect, but I got to say that their cat ears make me a little cringe. Only a little. But oh! how naturally beautiful horses are with their little ears. Of course, we have to compare ponies with ponies. And yet, I think the MLP ones look more like miniatures.



But I know two artists who make a nice hybrid of the MLP ponies and "real" ponies. Earthsong and Baron-Engel. I'm sure you heard of them.



It is hard to make a near perfect human portrait. I mean one that won't look creepy when you wanted who look cute. I tried myself to draw a single face and I failed. It sure needs a lot of practice. But it's not my priority. I write instead.
