Congratulations on 800! 🎉🎉🎉So well deserved! And thank you for the art share 😆

This painting has a heavy metal vibe. At a low angle in a dark plain surrounded by far off mountains, under a nebulous night sky, we look up at a huge centaur. He is rearing back on a muscular black equine body that blends to a pale grey human body which has twisted spikes piercing out of it. These spikes grow sparsely on his chest, then thickly on his shoulders, getting thicker & wider as they grow higher till they crown his head between his long black hair, as 2 pairs of thorny horns, 1 set of which is nearly as wide as his head & stand like 2 crescent moon on either side of it. His expression is critical & made harder by a open scar that has lost him his eye & tears deeply enough in his cheek to expose his teeth behind his facial hair. Said facial hair takes the form of a beard that is braided into 3 pieces ending in metal beads. The last feature of this character r his shackles, on his legs & arms. Only his wrists have a long thick chain though, which he grips like a weapon.
A young squire, with a focused expression and magic stone legs that glow blue through spiralling engravings, is crossing a fast running stream in a brown grassy plain surrounded by mountains. His pants are rolled up past his knees and he is holding his shoes. He is followed by a centaur companion that is looking away from the viewer towards a far off flock of birds in the distant landscape, which is blanketed by an overcast sky and a thin rain.
A painting looking down on a centaur and a squire, laying on their back in the long grass and talking. It is the darker hour of the dawn. The centaur, Rowan, is listening, appearing content, with his arms folded behind his head, quietly interested in whatever the young squire, named Arley, is getting off his chest. Arley has taken his shoes off, exposing his magic stone feet, which cross over each other in a manner mirrored by his hands that are also crossed on top of each other and rested on his chest.
The sun breaks through a forest of silver birch trees in their autumn foliage and over a misty blue stream being crossed by two centaurs. They’re breathing a warmly lit fog into the cool air and the ripples left by their hooves are the only disturbance on the water that floats a few gold and orange leaves on its surface. The first centaur is pale grey with long black hair, well below their hip and covering their eyes. They wear a garland of mushrooms of a species that can rightly be surmise by the easy manner of the centaur, with their arms folded behind their head in a lazy stretch as they stare into the canopy rather than where they are going. The following centaur looks used to this. He is bay brown, and contently following with his arms to his sides.
