Even the Little Ones Bite

Ignore the random black lines at the top of this image.  I appear to be disabled when it comes to cropping images, and can't be bothered to try again, obviously  (>n<)  

Anyway: my interest in drawing male torsos but NOT male legs continues!  At least one of these is a regular centaur, while the fellow at the bottom is really part deer instead of horse (Cervitaur?  Cervine=deerlike, but the entomology for 'Centaur' refers to a horse-riding tribe, so I am not sure how to break up the word...).  

I'm not sure what the story behind this picture is...I draw most everything with a story in mind, although sometimes it evolves as the image does.  In this case, as I drew, I imagined a young assassin, who has a choice: kill a stranger or die.  I am, as yet, undecided on whether the older Centaur is blameless in this situation, but I do feel sorry for the little Cervitaur...  On a random note, this is the first time I've been completely happy with a totally cervine body usually the angles feel heavy, or wrong. 

Oh, look, more shirtless guys  


Here's another drawing of them with a bit less angst, more cute: maiacarlson.deviantart.com/art…
