These are like bizarro world unicorns that want to destroy anything good and pure and true. Much like a republican congressman or Elon Musk.
I didn’t end up with a lot of usable horse images (despite trying to generate a lot along with centaurs) – often they didn’t have four legs or had some other anomalies. This was one of the few that turned out but of course it had a derpy jaw.
This model was something I had whipped together back in December, I had tried to adjust it’s neck and leg but it’s not quite like a galloping agent of terror. And then I never got around to publishing. As a part of cleaning up my backlog I adjusted to sculpting on this fellow and re-optimized the model (aiming for that 200k vertices / 20mb file size).
I was about to hit publish and realized that it needed flames (since they tend to be covered in flames in DND at least!!) so I had to figure that out. I tried looking up tutorials on how to generate flames (and now know how to animate them which is the first time I’ve ever animated something in Blender now) and I needed them to be actual mesh/geometry (because we need more geometry) and found this post: https://blenderartists.org/t/fire-flames-as-a-mesh/696783 – they took a cone and used my absolute favorite DISPLACE modifier. It also adjusts the noise based on another object so the flames ended up pretty diverse.
I kinda wish the tail were a bit more curved and the snout was longer than the lower jaw but the lower jaw this way is pretty terrifying… maybe you could even say…. Nightmare Fuel? I could continue to play with it but the spirit of progression pushes me forward to the next model.
